The answer is: Consumerism
Consumerism refers to a view that encourage the purchase of goods and services. Companies can contribute to consumerism during their marketing campaign. During the campaign, they would do many things to make their products seems desirable , which would encourage the consumers to buy their products.
A positive risk response produces provides positive strategies to achieve a positive goal while a negative risk response provides negative strategies to achieve a negative goal. There are four ways four strategies that produces a response risk; enhance, exploit, accept and share. The type of response risk will vary in the accept part.
An example of a positive risk is when you are given a project in class and you are to finish it in four months. Being a hardworking person that you are, you wanted to finish it in one month and so you find methods to compress your time schedule and achieve your goal.
Let us take the example from the above mentioned before for an example of a negative risk. So instead of four months, since you do not like working or the fact that maybe you don't like the project, you passed your project in six months. What you just did is lounge around the corner and did nothing to just improve the project.
Answer:
-13.562%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Net operating profit margin (NOPM) = 11.4%
Net operating asset turnover (NOAT) = 3.83
Return on equity = 30.1%
Adjusted return on assets = 17.1%
Now,
Return on equity = Nonoperating Return + Return in net operating assets
or
Nonoperating Return = Return on equity - Return in net operating assets
Also,
Return in net operating assets = NOAT × NOPM
or
= 3.83 × 11.4%
= 43.66%
therefore,
Nonoperating Return = 30.1% - 43.66%
= 30.1% - 43.662%
= -13.562%
Answer:
The question is missing information, however the way to approach the required is presented below in the explanation
Explanation:
When calculating variances it's always important to flex the budgeted information to standard form so we're comparing apples with apples. If we use the actual budgeted figures we can distort the variances and comparisons of information may be useless. For instance if we produce 40 units but budgeted was 50 units we need to work out what was the budgeted cost for 40 units and compare that to the actual cost of 40 units. That is what is meant by flexing to the standard form.
A) The fixed overhead spending variance is the difference between the budgeted and actual fixed overhead expense. This is calculated as follows
Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead = Fixed overhead spending variance $
B) The fixed overhead volume variance is calculated as follows;
Budgeted fixed overhead rate – Fixed overhead rate applied to the units (quantity of production)
C) Variable overhead spending variance is calculated as follows;
The variable overhead spending variance is the difference between the actual and budgeted rates of expenditure of the variable overhead.
Actual hours worked x (actual overhead rate - standard overhead rate)
= Variable overhead spending variance
D) Variable overhead efficiency variance is calculated as follows;
The variable overhead efficiency variance is the difference between the actual and budgeted hours worked. The standard variable rate per hour is used for this and must be calculated.
Standard overhead rate x (Actual hours - Standard hours)
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable expense= $26,770 ($5,240 increase each quarter)
Fixed expense= $41,680
<u>First, we will calculate the total cost per quarter:</u>
Q1= 26,770 + 41,680
Q1= $68,450
Q2= (26,770 + 5,240) + 41,680
Q2= $73,690
Q3= (32,010 + 5,240) + 41,680
Q3= $78,930
Q4= (37,250 + 5,240) + 41,680
Q4= $84,170
<u>Now, the total cost:</u>
Total annual cost= $305,240
