Every year, Shawna Stuart, the Director of Sustainability at Academic University, sees students throwing away perfectly good fur

niture and household items when they get ready to leave the dorms. And even though Academic U is considered to be one of the best schools in the country, 30% of the people in its surrounding communities earn poverty-level wages. Shawna knows that there must be some way to get all those chairs, couches, tables, and kitchen goods to people who really need them, but she needs some help in figuring out how to do it. Fortunately, you are the president of your school’s Business Honor Society, and your group wants to create a new non-profit organization this year. Shawna’s dilemma is perfect for your team, and together, you decide to create a new organization, Share Your Stuff.
Today, you are meeting with your team of four students, Shawna, and Alfonso Alvarez, the Store Manager for your local Goodwill store. You want to do some planning for the upcoming year. First on the agenda, the group agrees to create a strategic goal for the organization.

Which of the following is a question that you should ask during the development of strategic goals for the organization?

a. Should our company focus more on giving things away, or on selling things for a reduced price to those in need?
b. Last year, the Office of Sustainability collected 75 usable couches from students, but they were only able to give away 25 of them. What can Share Your Stuff do to give away more couches this year?

After some discussion, the group agrees that they want to create an ongoing, sustainable organization that eliminates at least 50,000 pounds of waste and raises at least $10,000 to pay for organizational expenses. Now that the team has a good idea for a strategic goal, it is important for them to identify a strategic plan that can be used to achieve the goal.

What time-frame should the group consider for this plan?

a. Short-term (One year or less)
b. Long-term (Five years or more)

Answer:

1. The question that you should ask during the development of strategic goals for the organization is:

a. Should our company focus more on giving things away, or on selling things for a reduced price to those in need?

2. The time-frame that the group should consider for this plan is:

b. Long-term (Five years or more)

Explanation:

A strategic plan is made up of the organization's mission, vision, and values, as well as its long-term goals.  These are backed up with the action plans for attaining the long-term goals.  A strategic plan should involve the whole of the organization and remain futuristic.  It does not concentrate on short-term objectives.  Instead, a strategic plan concentrates on long-term goals with its duration period lasting five years or more.

Tyson is a 25% partner in the KT Partnership. On January 1, KT distributes $16,000 cash, inventory with a $16,000 fair value (in
Marianna [84]

Answer:

D) $8,000 inventory, $0 land

Explanation:

Tyson's basis in the distributed inventory and land will be $8,000 inventory, $0 land

Because he initially first allocates his outside basis to the assets distributed which is in an amount that is equal to KT's basis which is ($20,000 cash and $8,000 land).

Therefore this results in a required decrease of $0 due to the basis he reduces in the land by the required decrease, which thereby results in a basis of $0 to the land.

Bob consumes food and housing. Suppose his marginal utility from an additional unit of food is 20 and his marginal utility from
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Option (E) is correct.

Explanation:

For utility maximization,

Bob's consumption of Housing and food should be such that:

\frac{Marginal\ utility\ of\ housing}{Price\ of\ housing}=\frac{Marginal\ utility\ of\ food}{Price\ of\ food}

Here,

\frac{Marginal\ utility\ of\ housing}{Price\ of\ housing}=\frac{100}{2}

                                                                                              = 50

\frac{Marginal\ utility\ of\ food}{Price\ of\ food}=\frac{20}{1}

                                                                                   =20

Bob is not maximizing utility, as these two terms are not equal(50 > 20).

Since the marginal utility per rupee spent on housing is greater than that on food.

Hence, Bob can increase his utility just by consuming more of housing and less of food.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

1, 2, 3 & 4

Explanation:

All of the given options could be used as a basis to allocate the profit among partners. Allocation of salaries is also a basis for profit allocation. Salaries of partner is deducted from the net profit on the basis of predetermined ratio or amounts.

The numbers of years can also be a base for the profit allocation. The partner from the long time could have more share than a new partner but it depends on the agreement of all the partners.

The profit can also be based on the the amount of work work done or time spent by each partner. Some associations and firms use this method to allocate the profit.

The most common method of profit allocation is the capital invested in the business. partners are paid on the basis of what they invested in the business.
