b) When Bridgeport Housewares Inc prepares budgeted monthly cash budgets, important highlights are indicated.  For instance, it becomes easier for the management of Bridgeport to know when to borrow cash to meet the minimum cash balance or in the alternative sell off some marketable securities.  It is also easier for Bridgeport to understand that it can be having excess cash which should not be allowed to sit idle, but can be invested in marketable securities.  The cash budgets and their preparation also help Bridgeport to be better prepared to exert the required efforts to generate sales revenue in order not to jeopardize its liquidity position.  It can also help Bridgeport to understand that the capital expenditure could have been paid for instalmentally starting from September or so instead of lumping the sum in November.  There are many other insights garnered from the cash budgets and their preparation.

After a computer failure, you are trying to reconstruct some financial results for the year just ended. While you know that back
Naily [24]

Answer: The answers are given below

Explanation:

a. Find the finished goods inventory, January 1.

The cost of good sold will be:

= (cost of good manufactured + finished good inventory beginning) - finished good inventory ending

$21,900 = $21,940 + finished good inventory beginning - $3500

Finished good inventory beginning will now be:

=$21900 - $21,040 + $3500

Finished good inventory January 1 = $4,360

b. Find the direct materials used for the year.

The total manufacturing cost will be:

= direct material + direct labour + manufacturing overhead

$19,460 = direct material + $3160 + $5710

Direct material = $19,460 - $3160 - $5710

Direct material = $10,590

c. Find the Sales revenue.

Gross margin will be :

= Sales revenue - cost of good sold

Let the sales revenue be y

Therefore,

37% of y = y - $21,900

0.37y = y - $21,900

y - 0.37y = $21,900

0.63y = $21,900

y = $21,900/0.63

y = $34,761.9

y = $34,762 approximately

The sales revenue is $34,762

The use of a differentiation strategy would be expected to be LEAST effective in which of the following markets? a. Commodity go
Tema [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Commodity goods.

Explanation:

A differentiation strategy is an approach adopted by companies to make the goods or services they offered unique compared to their competitors. Most firms tend to use price as the main key to the difference between their products and the competitors'.

Thus, <em>the differentiation strategy is less likely to be applied in commodity goods because they are inherently unique such as oil, natural gas, precious metals or foreign currencies</em>.
