Bette and Jamal are partners at a management consulting firm.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Jamal

Explanation:

Given that

Number of required slides = 50 slides

Creating slides Per hour = 15 slides

Bill amount per hour = $750

So by considering the above information, Bette's opportunity cost of creating slides would be

= Bill amount per hour ÷ creating slides per hour

= $750 ÷ 15 per hour

= $50

For making 50 slides, the opportunity cost would be

= $50 × 50 slides

= $2,500

And, Jamal opportunity cost is 30% lower, so it would be  

= $50 - $50 × 30%

= $50 - $15

= $35

And, the billing rate is 25% higher, so it would be

= $750 + $750 × 25%

= $750 + $187.50

= $937.50

So in one hour, it would be

= $937.50 ÷ 35 slides

= 26 slides

Based on the creating slides, the Jamal gains a competitive advantage over Bette

(c) Total gross semimonthly pay for all six employees is $6,050.

Explanation:

The questions can be answered as follows:

a. Calculate the cost to Score for an employee with $1,100.00 gross pay in the first pay period in January.

This can be calculated as follows:

Cost to Score for an employee with $1,100.00 gross pay = Gross pay + Contribution to retirement fund = $1,100.00 + $75.00 = $1,175.00

b. Calculate the cost to Score for an employee with $850.00 gross pay in the first pay period in January.

This can be calculated as follows:

Cost to Score for an employee with $850.00 gross pay = Gross pay + Contribution to retirement fund = $850.00 + $75.00 = $925.00

c. Calculate the total gross semimonthly pay for all six employees.

Cost to Score for 2 employee with $1,100.00 gross pay = $1,175.00 * 2 = $2,350

Cost to Score for 4 employee with $850.00 gross pay = $925.00 * 4 = $3,700

Total gross semimonthly pay for all six employees = Cost to Score for 2 employee with $1,100.00 gross pay + Cost to Score for 4 employee with $850.00 gross pay = $2,350 + $3,700 = $6,050

A company reports the following amounts at the end of the year:
Inga [223]

Answer:

33.33%

Explanation:

Given:

Sales revenue = $360,000

Cost of goods sold = $240,000

Net income = $53,000

Now,

the gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold

or

The gross profit = $360,000  - $240,000  = $120,000

Thus,

the company's gross profit ratio = \frac{\textup{Gross Profit}}{\textup{Sales revenue}}

or

The company's gross profit ratio =  \frac{120,000}{\textup{360,000}

or

The company's gross profit ratio = 33.33%
