Business

stiks02 [169]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: By companies I assume you mean profit oriented business - that is organisations that are not NGOs. Most profit oriented businesses would not admit having variables that could hurt their performance to shareholders or to the general public in order not to discourage potential investors

Explanation: Employers or upper management may explain/expose variables that are hurting the company's growth to employees in order to make them feel like part of the team/decision making process and also to encourage them to do more work. In rare cases a company might expose their negative variables in order to discourage being bought over by their competitors or garner public sympathy. However this almost always backfires .

Elis [28]

Answer:

Expected dividend yield = 10.0%

Expected capital gains yield =  5.0%

Explanation:

D0 = $1.50 (Given)

E(D1) = D0 * (1 + g) = $1.50 * (1.05) = $1.575

E(P0) = $15.75 (Given)

E(P1) = $15.75 * (1.05)1 = $16.5375

Expected dividend yield = E(D1) / E(P0)

= $1.575 / $15.75 = 0.100 = 10.0%

Expected capital gains yield = (E(P1) - E(P0)) / E(P0)

($16.5375 - $15.75) / $15.75 = 0.050 = 5.0%

noname [10]

Answer: The profits would be shared equally

Explanation: This is because

Since there was no agreement stating how profits would be divided,then the applicable state Limited Liability Company statute will rule. Most LLC statutes states that if members do not specify how profits are to be divided, they will be divided equally. As long as no operating agreement or LLC statute addressed the particular issue, the partnership law applys which also indicates that profits should be divided equally among the owners of a firm unless it was specified otherwise.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

The question is incomplete; the complete question is given below:

                                                                  $

Direct materials             15,000.00

Direct labor                       25,000.00

Factory depreciation expense         45,000.00

Factory utilities expense          2,000.00

Payroll staff's salary    15,000.00

Prime cost= $40,000,  Conversion cost= $72,000

Explanation:

Prime cost: It is the summation of all direct costs. Direct costs are costs that are incurred directly for a particular product, and therefore can be traced to it.

Examples of direct costs include; direct material costs, direct labour cost and direct expense

Direct materials cost: the costs of all materials used directly to manufacture a product. <em>For example, cocoa powder, vanilla used in making chocolate</em>. <em>Every other materials costs are indirect material costs</em>

Direct labor cost: the cost of the labor hours of workers actively involved in the production of a product. For example, the cost of the total hours paid to workers for packing the chocolates into cartons. <em>Every other labor costs are indirect labor costs</em>

Prime cost = Direct material cost+ Direct labour cost  + Direct expense

Prime cost = $15,000 + $25,000= $40,000

Conversion cost = The sum of direct labour costs  and <u>manufacturing overheads</u>

Conversion cost= $25,000 + $45,000 + $2000= $72,000

Note that payroll staff cost was excluded because payroll function is an administrative activitiy not manufacturing.
