Answer: Budgeting helps to plan, coordinate , delegate responsibility and enhancing clarity in pursuit of an organisation.
Explanation: Every budgets is principally prepared to achieve a set target but there some limitations which makes it difficult for some companies to prepare and follow through with a budgeted plan action. Some of these limitations at any given point in time affect the activities of the organisation. It may be traced to Production capacity, shortage of labour, materials, space, Finance and customer demand. This limitation can at any point in time affect the overall plan of the organisation making it difficult to achieve their set target .
Answer:
Letter C is correct. <em>A firm that relies on high output controls to tap into intrinsic motivation.</em>
Explanation:
By carefully selecting the employees of his consulting firm, Mona ensures that each employee's expected competency and skills profile has been met through rigorous selection, which enhances the chances that operational strategies will be more widely deployed and accepted effective.
By setting the expected results, but letting the employees themselves define how to achieve them, it generates an intrinsic motivation, one that generates internal feelings in the individual to want to achieve personal goals, objectives and projects that motivate and stimulate them.
Answer:
They should operate Mine 1 for 1 hour and Mine 2 for 3 hours to meet the contractual obligations and minimize cost.
Explanation:
The formulation of the linear programming is:
Objective function:
Restrictions:
- High-grade ore: 
- Medium-grade ore: 
- Low-grade ore: 
- No negative hours: 
We start graphing the restrictions in a M1-M2 plane.
In the figure attached, we have the feasible region, where all the restrictions are validated, and the four points of intersection of 2 restrictions.
In one of this four points lies the minimum cost.
Graphically, we can graph the cost function over this feasible region, with different cost levels. When the line cost intersects one of the four points with the lowest level of cost, this is the optimum combination.
(NOTE: it is best to start with a low guessing of the cost and going up until it reaches one point in the feasible region).
The solution is for the point (M1=1, M2=3), with a cost of C=$680.
The cost function graph is attached.
Answer: Please see the required journals below:
Mar. 17:
Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $1,000
Credit Accounts receivable $1,000
July 29:
Debit Cash $1,000
Credit Bad debt recovery (income statement) $1,000
Explanation: On March 17, when $275 was received from Shawn and the remaining balance of $1,000 was written off, the allowance for doubtful accounts has to be debited since the company adopts the allowance method of accounting for uncollectible receivables. Note that the allowance account would have the required buffer to take care of this debit. Similarly, when the recovery was made, cash would be debited then the credit would default to income statement.
