Answer:

(a) This year's net operating income would be $1,153,000.

(b) Net operating income will decrease by $107,000 over last year.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete, the complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Feather Friends, Inc., distributes a high-quality wooden birdhouse that sells for $120 per unit. Variable expenses are $60.00 per unit, and fixed expenses total $180,000 per year. Its operating results for last year were as follows:

<u>Particulars                           Amount ($)  </u>

Sales                                   2,880,000

Variable expenses           <u> (1,440,000) </u>

Contribution margin           1,440,000

Fixed expenses                <u>   (180,000) </u>

Net operating income     <u> 1,260,000 </u>

The sales manager is convinced that a 11% reduction in the selling price, combined with a $71,000 increase in advertising, would increase this year's unit sales by 25%.

Required:

(a) If the sales manager is right, what would be this year's net operating income if his ideas are implemented? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

(b) If the sales manager's ideas are implemented, how much will net operating income increase or decrease over last year

Explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

(a) If the sales manager is right, what would be this year's net operating income if his ideas are implemented? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

This year’s selling price per unit = Last year’s selling price per unit * (100% - Percentage of reduction) = $120 * (100% - 11%) = $120 * 89% = $106.80

Last year’s unit sales = Last year’s sales / Last year’s selling price = $2,880,000 / $120 = 24,000 units

This year’s unit sales = Last year’s unit sales * (1 + Percentage increase) = 24,000 + (1 + 25%) = 30,000 units

This year’s sales = This year’s unit sales * This year’s selling price per unit = 30,000 * $106.80 = $3,204,000

This year’s variable expenses = This year’s unit sales * Variable expenses per unit = 30,000 * $60.00 = 1,800,000

Its operating results for this year will be as follows:

<u>Particulars                                          Amount ($)    </u>                        

Sales                                                    3,204,000

Variable expenses                            <u> (1,800,000) </u>

Contribution margin                             1,404,000

Increase in selling expenses                  (71,000)

Fixed expenses                                 <u>    (180,000)  </u>

Net operating income                      <u>   1,153,000   </u>

Therefore, this year's net operating income would be $1,153,000.

(b) If the sales manager's ideas are implemented, how much will net operating income increase or decrease over last year

Decrease in net operating income = Last year's net operating income - This year's net operating income = $1,260,000 - $1,153,000 = $107,000

Therefore, net operating income will decrease by $107,000 over last year.

FIFO ("first in, first out") is based on these production costs, assuming that the oldest products in a company's inventory are sold first. The LIFO (last in, first out) method assumes that the newest product in the company's inventory was sold first, and uses that cost instead.

FIFO (First In, First Out) Inventory Management evaluates inventory to reduce the likelihood of business losses when products are phased out or discontinued. LIFO (last in, first out) inventory management is suitable for non-perishable goods and uses the current price to calculate the cost of goods sold.

What change in investment strategies has contributed to our economic system evolving into institutional capitalism, according to
Oxana [17]

Answer:

From the end of the Middle Ages to the first centuries of the Modern Era, some new investment strategies were developed, which contributed greatly to the development of capitalism.

Explanation:

In particular, group investment in companies that did not have a single, personal owner. This is what we know today as corporations.

The main advantage of a corporation is that many investors pour their money, something that raises the amount of capital, while at the same time not holding full personal responsability over their investments in case the corporation fails. In other words, investors do not have to pay with their personal wealth in case of corporate failure.

Two important early corporations are the Dutch East India Company, and the British East Indian Company. They were very important for the development of capitalism.
