Answer:
Cutting Department:
Rate variance = 6380*(10.9-11) = -638 Favorable
Time variance = 11*(6380-25000*0.25) = 1430 Unfavorable
Total direct labor cost variance = (6380*10.9)-(25000*11*0.25) = 792 Unfavorable
Sewing Department:
Rate variance = 9875*(11.12-11) = 1185 Unfavorable
Time variance = 11*(9875-25000*0.4) = -1375 Favorable
Total direct labor cost variance =(9875*11.12)-(25000*11*0.4) = -190 Favorable
Answer:
Revenue - March = $160
Explanation:
The accrual principle in accounting states that the revenues for a period should match the expenses for that particular period and any revenue or expense should be recorded in the period to which it relates to. This means that the upfront fee received by Fit Co. is a liability and should not be recorded as a revenue until it is earned. So, by providing two sessions in the month of March, Fit Co. has earned revenue for 2 sessions out of the twelve. Thus, at the end of March, Fit Co. should record a revenue of,
Revenue - march = 960 * 2/12 = $160
Explanation:
The long-running debate between the ‘rational design’ and ‘emergent process’ schools of strategy formation has involved caricatures of firms' strategic planning processes, but little empirical evidence of whether and how companies plan. Despite the presumption that environmental turbulence renders conventional strategic planning all but impossible, the evidence from the corporate sector suggests that reports of the demise of strategic planning are greatly exaggerated. The goal of this paper is to fill this empirical gap by describing the characteristics of the strategic planning systems of multinational, multibusiness companies faced with volatile, unpredictable business environments. In-depth case studies of the planning systems of eight of the world's largest oil companies identified fundamental changes in the nature and role of strategic planning since the end of the 1970s. The findings point to a possible reconciliation of ‘design’ and ‘process’ approaches to strategy formulation. The study pointed to a process of planned emergence in which strategic planning systems provided a mechanism for coordinating decentralized strategy formulation within a structure of demanding performance targets and clear corporate guidelines. The study shows that these planning systems fostered adaptation and responsiveness, but showed limited innovation and analytical sophistication
The most likely result is that there would be a general mistrust because they are disregarding what you need.
Answer: $527,000
Explanation:
Salaries to authors = $347,000
Fees to contracted editors = $180,000
Copyrights obtained = $83,000
Purchase of a new printing warehouse = 1.3 million
Upgrade of current printing equipment = $560,000
McKinney Enterprises expense will be:
= Salaries to authors + Fees to contracted editors
= $347,000 + $180,000
= $527,000
