Answer:

(Ethical Dilemma)

The American car battery industry

a) I will establish contact with battery recyclers in the U.S. to work out a good arrangement with them to collect the old batteries periodically. Some favorable terms with the recyclers will rake in some revenue on disposal. Alternatively, I will search for resellers who export to some recyclers in Mexico or other countries, which operate with reasonable ethical environmental standards and get them to buy the old batteries. I am aware that not all the recyclers in Mexico will be following less demanding standards. My shop can work through such recyclers.

b) As a manager of a large retailer with responsibility for the disposal of thousands of used batteries each day, I will seek to understand that correct environmental standards are being followed by the buyers of used batteries in the US, Mexico, or elsewhere before selling to them. Non-compliance with ethical and environmental requirements do not just jeopardize the health of those directly involved, the health of many others are also in danger. I cannot only be interested in selling off used batteries, I will ensure that the environmental footprint is not too high, because I, my family, and my business live and operate in the environment. We must conserve a clean environment for the continued health of all.

Explanation:

Ethical environmental matters affect every living person. The future is put in danger if nothing is done rightly today.

American Chemical Company manufactures a chemical compound that is sold for $52 per gallon. A new variant of the chemical has be

Leona [35]

Answer:

a. The total profit would be positively affected as it increases

Explanation:

1. We calculate the value of revenue per 8000 gallons with the initial chemical compound and processed into the new variant

Revenue Initial Chemical Compound= 8000 gallons X ($52/gallon)

Revenue Initial Chemical Compound= $ 416.000

Revenue Chemical compound processed into the new variant=8000 gallons X ($83/gallon)

Revenue Chemical compound processed into the new variant= $ 664.000

2. If we consider that the other production costs will be the same for the two chemical compounds, then the only difference will be the processing cost to refine the basic compound into the new variant. For this reason, we substract only the value of processing the basic compound into the new variant for the revenue of this.

$ 664.000 - $160.000= $504.000

3. The benefit values for each case are:

Initial Chemical Compound: $416.000

Chemical compound processed into the new variant: $504.000

In conclusion, greater benefit is obtained by processing the basic compound in the new variant than if the basic compound were sold only

1. Compute the Office Products Division’s ROI for this year. 2. Compute the Office Products Division’s ROI for the new product l

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The complete question have been obtained online and attached below.

Returns on Investment (ROI) is the required Margin of profit the Business owners expect or are getting on their investment in the business.

The higher the returns therefore, the more impressed the business owners will be with the Management team

ROI = operating income divided by operating Assets x 100%

1. ROI for the year = 20%

2. ROI for the new line only = 16%

3. New Office product ROI = 19.2%

4. The manager will reject the proposed new line because it reduces his final ROI to 19.2% which doesn't guarantee him a bonus (I have attached a more detailed response in the attached working files)

5. Headquarters is anxious about the new product line being adopted because it gives an ROI above the business ROI of 15%.

6. Residual income (RI) is the absolute gain the Business has left distributable to shareholders after recognizing the expected Returns on Investment.

It is a gain over and above the ROI the shareholders have tasked the business to deliver.

Residual Income = controllable Margin - (Minimum Rate of return x Operating Assets)

A. RI for the year = $320,000

B. RI for the new line = $40,000

C. RI for the New office product division = $360,000

4. Improved RI is equal to $40,000, thus the Divisional Manager is very likely to approve the adoption of this new line.

The following data relate to the direct materials cost for the production of 50,000 automobile tires: Actual: 725,000 lbs. at $3

Afina-wow [57]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the material price variance is shown below:

= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)

= 725,000 × ($2.95- $3)

= 725,000 × $0.5

= $36,250 unfavorable

b. The computation of the material quantity variance is shown below:

= Standard Price × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

= $2.95 × (730,000 - 725,000)

= $2.95 × 5,000

= $14,750 favorable

And, the total direct material cost variance is

= Material price variance + material cost variance

= $36,250 unfavorable + 14,750 favorable

= $21,500 unfavorable
