Continent Construction Company is a building contractor specializing in small commercial buildings. The company has the opportun

ity to accept one of two jobs; it cannot accept both because they must be performed at the same time and Continent does not have the necessary labor force for both jobs. Indeed, it will be necessary to hire a new supervisor if either job is accepted. Furthermore, additional insurance will be required if either job is accepted. The revenue and costs associated with each job follow.

Contract price $800,000 $750,000
Unit—level materials 250,000 220,000
Unit—level labor 260,000 310,000
Unit—level overhead 40,000 30,000
Supervisor's salary 70,000 70,000
Rental equipment costs 26,000 29,000
Depreciation on tools (zero market value) 19,900 19,900
Allocated portion of companywide facility—sustaining costs 10,400 8,600
Insurance cost for job 18,200 18,200

Required
a. Assume that Continent has decided to accept one of the two jobs. Fill in the information relevant to selecting one job versus the other. Recommend which job to accept.

Answer:

1. Job A is considered for recommendation

2. Accept B

Explanation:

1. We calculate contribution for A and B

For job A

$(800000-250000-260000-40000-26000)

= $224000

For job B

$(750000-220000-310000-30000-29000)

= $161000

We compare the costs of both jobs. A has more contribution compared to B so we consider A.

2. A is no longer available

We add supervisors salary as well as insurance as additional costs

$(750000-220000-310000-30000-29000-70000-18200)

= 72800

The contribution from b is positive so the decision is to accept it.

Why have the fortunes of the English gentry degenerated?
kotykmax [81]
The fortunes of the English gentry degenerated primary due to the reformation of the voting law. Initially, only land-owning gentry has the right to vote and they used their right to control the laws governing land ownership. When the voting law was reformed, the power of the gentry diminished, enabling non-gentry individuals to own land and create factories.

Since, the English gentry get their fortunes from leases on their lands used for farming, they were very affected when the people working on their lands opted to go to the city and become factory workers. Thereby decreasing their rental income.

Land taxes also increased and because some portion of the English gentry's land became idle and unproductive, they were not able to pay the increasing land taxes; forcing them to sell and dispose of their land to meet their tax obligations.

Bramble Corp. has a weighted-average unit contribution margin of $30 for its two products, Standard and Supreme. Expected sales
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

160,000 units

Explanation:

Step 1 : Determine the Sales Mix

Bramble : Standard

60000 : 40000

3 : 2

Step 2 : Determine the Overall Break even Point

Break even Point = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit

                             = $2400000 ÷ $30

                             = 80,000

Step 3 : Determine break-even point for Standards

Standards Break even point = 80,000 x 2

                                               = 160,000 units

Thus,

Bramble Corp would sell 160,000 units of Standards at the break-even point

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

$1400

Explanation:

Net working capital is obtained by subtracting total current liabilities from total current assets.  Current assets and liabilities are expected to be used or paid within one year.

Change in net working capital would be the change in current assets - change in current liabilities.

last year  current assets  $67,200 : current liabilities $71,100

This year  current assets  $82,600 : current liabilities  $85,100

change Net operating capital = {$82,600- 67,200} - {85,100 - 71,100}

                     =$15,400 -14,000= -$1400

Change in networking capital = $1400

Why is inflation both good and bad how does the government try to control it?
Kaylis [27]
<span>Inflation is good because it keeps the economy growing as wages increase and demand for goods goes up, but if inflation gets high then the economy can become overheated when prices go up too fast and people can't afford goods. The Federal Reserve Bank, if you're in the USA, will then raise interest rates to make loans more expensive and rewarding people for not spending money, which slows down the economy back to a healthy state.</span>

To copy text in a word document to an Excel spreadsheet, you should first format the text as a Word table or as text separated b
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Commas, tabs, semicolon, or spaces.

Explanation:

In Excel, commas, tabs, semicolon, or spaces are known as delimited values, and you can tell excel which option your data has in order to separate it. For example, if you copy and paste text that will be used for column header you can use the "Text to Columns" tool, click "delimited" and next, and then check the box next to which type of separator you are using (commas, tabs, etc). The tool will then separate every item of text with that type of separator into different columns.
