What is the difference between productive and service oriented professions Explain with examples​

Business
1 answer:
Ghella [55]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Product vs Service Business

While it may seem to go against traditional thinking, in some ways there is very little difference between product based and service based companies. In actuality, both sell a product. The distinction between the two is that the product business sells a physical, tangible product, while the service business owner sells his skills as the primary product. In the service-based business, customers purchase the skills of a service provider or owner, such as a plumber or lawyer, This type of business has a strong emphasis on the client relationship and makes the customer's user experience very important. Product-based businesses, on the other hand, deliver physical products that are reasonably consistent in quality for each customer, making the customer experience fairly predictable.

Local or Global Consumer Markets

In general, when consumers are looking for new solutions they try to distinguish the different services/products of business and industry in the locality where they reside. As such, businesses need to target their product and service based businesses to the appropriate markets. Consumers located anywhere in the global market can purchase a product via the internet as long as they can have their purchase delivered locally and cost effectively. However, most service businesses can only provide services to customers within their local target market. For example, while a computer store can ship computers all over the world, a hairstylist will only attract clients within a reasonable driving distance from her home or business. As a result, businesses need to consider how their customer base will influence their marketing efforts.

The Soma Inn is trying to determine its break-even point. The inn has 75 rooms that are rented at $60 a night. Operating costs a
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The Soma Inn

a. Determination of the inn's break-even point:

1. number of rented rooms per month:

= Fixed Costs/Contribution per room

= $14,400/$18

= 800 rooms

2. dollars:

= Fixed Costs/Contribution margin ratio per room

= $14,400/0.3

= $48,000

2. Renting average of 50 rooms per day,

a) Monthly margin of safety in dollars

Current Sales = 50 rooms x $60 x 30 days = $90,000

Break-even Sales = $48,000

Margin of safety = Current Sales minus Break-even Sales

= $42,000 ($90,000 - $48,000)

b) Margin of safety ratio:

= Margin of safety/Current Sales x 100

= $42,000/$90,000 x 100

= 46.67%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Fixed costs:

Salaries       $9,700 per month

Utilities          2,700 per month

Depreciation 1,300 per month

Maintenance   700 per month

Total         $14,400 per month

Variable costs:

Maid service  8 per room

Other costs 34 per room

Total          $42 per room ($3,150 = $41 x 75 rooms)

Rent          $60 per room ($4,500 = $60 x 75 rooms)

Contribution per room = $18 ($60 - $42)

Contribution per night = $1,350 (75 x $18)

Contribution margin ratio per room = Contribution per room margin/Rent per room x 100

= $18/$60 x 100

=  0.3 or 30%

The Soma Inn's contribution margin per room is equal to the rent per room minus the variable cost per room.  Similarly, the contribution margin ratio per room is the contribution margin per room divided by the rent per room, and then multiplied by 100.

The Soma Inn's margin of safety is the difference between the rent per month and the break-even sales.  The Margin of safety ratio for the Inn is the ratio of current sales minus the breakeven sales, and then divided by current sales, multiplied by 100.

c) Once the purchases of merchandise have been computed, to compute the cost of goods sold becomes easier.  The cost of goods sold for Ahmed Company is the difference between the cost of goods available for sale and the ending inventories of merchandise.

A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month and incurred the following costs: Production costs (18,200 units)
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Option A,$257,732 is correct

Explanation:

The computation of income from operations requires that the operating expenses(variable operating expenses and fixed operating expenses) be deducted in the current period as against charging a portion to closing inventory as it is obtainable under the absorption costing method:

Direct materials                                            $180,100

Direct labor                                                   $238,100

Variable factory overhead                            $261,800

Total prime costs                                              $680,000  

Less closing stock(1900*$680,000/18200)    ($70,989)  

Costs of good sold                                            $609,011  

add:operating expenses:

variable operating expenses                            $126,500

Fixed operating expenses                                 $49,900

Fixed factory overhead                                       $97,900

Total expenses                                                     $883,311  

income from operations=sales-total expenses

                                        =$1,141,000-$883,311=$257,689

The $257,689 is closest to option A,$257,732 the difference could be due to rounding error

Lulzbot sells 6,000 units of its product for $500 each. The selling price includes a one-year warranty on parts. It is expected
Olin [163]

Answer:

$3,000

Explanation:

Warranty expense is an obligation on the business because business is liable to accept the claims of warranty. A estimated percentage of warranty expense is charges as an expense in each period.

Total Sales = $500 x 6,000 units = $3,000,000

Warranty Expense for the year = Sales units x 3% x warranty cost per unit

Warranty Expense for the year = 6,000 x 3% x $50 = $9,000

Recognised warranty cost in the year = 120 units x $50 = $6,000

Accrued Warranty expense = $9,000 - $6,000 = $3,000
