Answer:

$20 loss

Explanation:

Karen Smith bought a coca-cola stock for $475 in March 31, 20X1

She received a non taxable distribution of $155 on November 15, 20X1

The first step is to calculate the adjusted basis

= $475-$155

= $320

Karen sold the stock for $300 on December 22, 20X1

Therefore, her gain or loss on the sale can be calculated as follows

= $300-$320

= $20 loss

Hence Karen has a loss of $20 on the sale

A disadvantage of the line structure is that it
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Disadvantages of a Line Organization

A line organization can suffer from a lack of specialization. This is because each department manager is concerned only with the activities of his own department. Therefore, employees are skilled in tasks pertaining to their departments alone.

These organizations can overburden a keyman or a few key-men to the extent of their breaking point. Also, in the absence of a staff aid, if a strong man seizes the organization, he can run it arbitrarily. Such arbitrary power can lead to a considerable damage to the organization.

Such organizations usually suffer from a lack of expert advice. If the line manager has trouble making a decision, there is no expert staff that he can turn to.

A line organization is usually rigid and inflexible. In fact, such organizations maintain discipline so rigorously that they can rarely change.

These organizations are based on the autocratic system of management.

The division of work is not based on any scientific plan but on the whims of the manager.

It might stop progress and prevent the unit to work effectively.

Such organizations might also encourage nepotism or favoritism based on relationship or friendship.

I hope this is helpful information.

Amanda [17]

Complete Question:

Glucose Scan Incorporated (GSI) currently sells its latest glucose monitor, the Glucoscan 3000, to diabetic patients for $129. GSI is considering lowering the sale price to $99 per unit. The cost of goods sold for each Glucoscan unit is $50, and GSI expects to sell 100,000 units over the next year. The marginal corporate tax rate is 40%. Suppose that if GSI drops the price on the Glucoscan 3000 to $99 immediately, it can increase sales over the next year by 30% to 130,000 units.

Also suppose that for each Glucoscan monitor sold, GSI expects additional sales of $100 per year on glucose testing strips and these strips have a gross profit margin of 75%. These strip sales occur on all monitor sales regardless of the price of the monitor. Including the increase in the sale of testing strips, the incremental impact of this price drop on the firms EBIT is closest to:

Answer:

$720,000
