III. could cause a negative net present value project to become a positive net present value project.

Explanation:

With the favorable project conditions, the negative NPV will be revised to a positive NPV because the positive conditions will ensure the generation of positive cash inflows. The result is that the project will be assessed as acceptable since the net present value will become positive. Generally, favorable project conditions create outcomes that are positive for the cash flows, thereby generating more positive cash inflows and reducing the impact of cash outflows.

A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month, with the following results: Sales (90 units) $90,000 Production

umka21 [38]

Answer:

d.$18,900

Explanation:

Gross Profit is the net of Sales value and production cost in the period for the units sold. Under absorption costing all the direct and indirect costs incurred in the production of products are included in the total production cost. As the cost is available for 100 units produced we need to calculate the cost of 90 unit and deduct this cost from the sales value to determine the gross profit and then deduct the operating expenses to calculate the operating income.

Sales (90 units) $90,000

Less: Production costs:

Direct materials ( $40,000 x 90/100 ) $36,000

Direct labor ( 20,000 x 90/100 ) $18,000

Variable factory overhead ( 2,000 x 90/100 ) $1,800

Fixed factory overhead ( 7,000 x 90/100 ) $6,300

Total Production cost ($62,100)

Gross Profit $27,900

Less Operating expenses:

Variable operating expenses $8,000

Fixed operating expenses $1,000

($9,000)

Operating Income $18,900

The Path-Goal Theory states that Dr. Weiss would respond best and benefit most from an achievement-oriented leadership style. An achievement-oriented leader sets high goals for their employees and expects them to perform at their best. The employees are not told the specific ways to meet these high goals, being expected instead to use their own abilities to figure out how. An achievement-oriented leadership style is known to work for sales and especially scientific fields, such as the one that Dr. Weiss works in.
