In order to motivate our sales force to increase sales, we decided to increase our commissions and salaries and increase marketi

ng. At the same time, our supplier increased its prices, and we felt we could pass that cost increase on to our customers in the form of price increase. However, with the additional pressure to make sales, coupled with the increased sales price, we had to loosen credit terms on sales. We also had to lease a little more distribution space and acquire another truck to handle the volume increase. Our shipping expense relates to gasoline on deliveries. Luckily, gas prices went down from what we originally expected this year.

Answer:

Cost of Goods Sold - Inconsistent

Commission - Consistent

Shipping expense - Inconsistent

Bad debt expense - Unexplained

Salaries - Consistent

Lease of distribution center - Consistent

Depreciation of fleet and equipment - Inconsistent

Advertising - Consistent

Office rent, Phone, Internet - Inconsistent

Explanation:

The increase in selling price will result in change in the revenue figure. The cost of distribution is increased due to handling the addition volume. This will result in an increase in shipping expense and cost of goods sold. Salaries and  commission of the staff will remain consistent as there will be no change due to increase of selling price.

What leadership approach is considered the most dominant among the styles and why?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:                        

Democratic leadership approach

Explanation:

Democratic leadership, often recognized as participatory leadership, is a form of management style wherein team members play a much more participatory position in the procedure of  making business decisions.

        The option to engage is provided to all in such a framework, ideas are openly shared and conversation is promoted. Because the democratic process focuses solely on the equal rights of groups as well as the unlimited flow of information, the team leader is only there to provide advice and influence.

Such style of leadership will extend from private companies to schooling to the government to any entity. That's why it is considered to be most dominating.

Which function(s) of money informs the consumer what currency to use to obtain a good or service?
inna [77]
The third function explains that money is a medium of exchange. It means that it is better to use the money used in the country itself to gain better service because it would provide better protection.
