Answer:

The three types of production technology defined by James D. Thomson are;

1. Long-linked technology

2 Mediating technology and,

3. Intensive technology.

Explanation:

James D. Thomson proposed that different types of technology would determine the organizational strategy used by some organizations. A Mechanistic structure is an organizational structure that requires a high degree of formalized and centralized activity. An Organic organizational structure is very dynamic and programmed to easily adapt to change. Three of the technology types proposed by him include;

1. Long-linked Technology- These are jobs that require an organized sequence. Task A is completed before task B and then Task C. They require formalization and an average level of complexity. An example is mass production of goods. It is an organic structure because changes can easily occur and it would therefore require dynamism.

2.Mediating Technology- These are jobs that unite the two different aspects of an organization, namely, the input and output units.  They require low complexity and high formalization. An example is in the banking industry where peoples input and output are simultaneously attended to. It is a mechanistic structure because it requires a very formal arrangement.

3. Intensive Technology- These are jobs that give specialized care to different types of problems. It can be found in the hospital setting. It requires high complexity and low formalization. It is a mechanistic structure because of the specialized care rendered and the high level of interdependence of the units involved .

Matt and Meg Comer are married and file a joint tax return. They do not have any children. Matt works as a history professor at
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

Matt and Meg Comer are married, file a joint tax return and do not have any children.

The total salary of Matt and Meg = $64,700 + $34,000 = $98,700

The net short capital gain = Short-term capital gains - Short-term capital losses

The net short capital gain =  $9,200 - $2,200 = $7,000

The net Long term capital gains = Long-term capital gains - Long-term capital losses

The net Long term capital gains = $15,390 - $6,390 = $9000

The Adjusted gross income AGI = Total Salary + net short capital gain + net Long term capital gains

The Adjusted gross income AGI = $98,700 + $7,000 +  $9000

The Adjusted gross income AGI = $114700

The Taxable income = Adjusted gross income AGI - Standard deduction

The Taxable income = $114700 - $24,400

The Taxable income = $90,300

The net taxable income = Taxable income - less preferentially taxed income

The net taxable income =  $90,300 - $9000

The net taxable income =  $81,300

For 2019:

Tax Liability = $9086 + ($81,300 - $78,950) × 22%    

Tax Liability = $9086 + ($2,350)  × 0.22

Tax Liability = $9086 + $517

Tax Liability = $9,603

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $9,000 ×  15%    (since it is between  15% - 37% ordinary income tax range, it may be taxed as 15%)

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $9,000 ×  0.15

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $1350

Therefore;  the Comers’ tax liability for 2019 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year is:

Tax Liability  + The long-term capital gain for 2019

= $9,603 + $1350

= $10953

b.

The total salary of Matt and Meg = $64,700 + $34,000 = $98,700

The net short capital gain = Short-term capital gains - Short-term capital losses

The net short capital gain =  $1,500 - $0 = $1,500

The net Long term capital gains = Long-term capital gains - Long-term capital losses

The net Long term capital gains = $10,500 - $10,200 = $300

The Adjusted gross income AGI = Total Salary + net short capital gain + net Long term capital gains

The Adjusted gross income AGI = $98,700 + $1,500 +  $300

The Adjusted gross income AGI = $100,500

The Taxable income = Adjusted gross income AGI - Standard deduction

The Taxable income = $100500 - $24,400

The Taxable income = $76,100

The net taxable income = Taxable income - less preferentially taxed income

The net taxable income =  $76,100 - $300

The net taxable income =  $75,800

For 2019:

Tax Liability = $1940 + ($75,800 - $19,400) × 12%

Tax Liability = $1940 + ($56400)  × 0.12

Tax Liability = $1940 + $6768

Tax Liability = $8,708

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $3,190 ×  0%        (since it is in 10% - 15% ordinary income tax range)

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $0

Therefore;  the Comers’ tax liability for 2019 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year is:

Tax Liability  + The long-term capital gain for 2019

= $8,708 + $0

= $8708

BruceCo is planning on selling backpacks for $100 each. The company can buy the backpacks for $30.00 and have them customized fo
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: BruceCo would have to sell 220 backpacks

Explanation: The projection of a $10,000 profit can be calculated properly by the equation;

Revenue - Cost = Profit

There is a one-time set up charge of 1000 and this is a fixed cost (as it does not change regardless of how many units they eventually sell). Also they would be spending $30 to buy each unit and still spend $20 to customize each. So each unit would cost $50 to acquire. If they plan on selling each unit at the rate of $100, then the total revenue would be 100 times X (where X is the number of units sold). Therefore the profit can be better projected by the equation;

Revenue - Cost = Profit

100X - (50X + 1000) = 10000

100X -50X - 1000 = 10000

50X = 10000 + 1000

50X = 11000

Divide both sides of the equation by 50

X = 220

Therefore, BruceCo must sell 220 units (at least) in order to meet a $10,000 profit projection

LF Corporation, a manufacturer of Mexican foods, contracted in 2014 to purchase 1,500 pounds of a spice mixture at $5.00 per pou
kramer

Answer:

(b) a loss of $750

Explanation:

Given;

Amount of spice mixture to be purchased = 1500 pounds

Price of spice mixture in 2014 = $5.00 per pound

Changed price of sugar mixture = $4.50 per pound

Now,

The amount to be received on the day of contract in 2014

= Amount of spice mixture to be purchased × Price of spice mixture in 2014

= 1500 × $5.00

= $7,500

and,

The amount to be received in 2015

= Amount of spice mixture to be purchased × Price of spice mixture in 2015

= 1500 × $4.50

= $6,750

The difference in Expected amount and the amount to be received

= $7500 - $6750

= $750

Since the amount to be received is less than the expected amount on the day of contract

Therefore,

a loss will be recognized

Hence,

the correct answer is option (b) a loss of $750
