Answer:
Letter B is correct. <em>Lead Users</em>.
Explanation:
Term developed by prof. Eric von Hippel, Lead Users are those users who are able to transform, adapt and modify a company's product or service for their own benefit, as they face the same market needs a while before regular users.
For Prof Eric von Hippel, there are four steps in developing Lead Users:
- Preparation,
- Needs and Trends Identification,
- Lead Users Identification, and
- Concept Design.
The premise is that the Lead Users method is effective in identifying innovation and product trends that need to be developed for a market for your needs.
Answer:
a. 29%
Explanation:
Given that
Contribution margin = $55,900
Sales = $190,000
The computation of contribution margin ratio is shown below:-
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales
= $55,900 ÷ $190,000
= 29%
Therefore for computing the contribution margin ratio we simply divide sales by contribution margin ratio.
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
Since the bond is selling at a discount, it means that the coupon rate is blow the market rate, so the actual rate must be higher. Since there is only one option with an interest rate above 9%, we must check to see if it works.
10% yearly interest rate = 5% semiannual interest rate
we must determine the PV of the 20 coupons paid and the face value at maturity.
to calculate the PV of the 20 coupons ($45 each) we can use an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function with a 5% discount rate: PV of the coupons = $560.80
the PV of the face value in 10 years = $1,000 / 1.05²⁰ = $376.89
the present value of the coupons and the bond at maturity = $560.80 + $376.89 = $937.69. The PV using a 5% semiannual rate is very similar to $937.75, and since the question asked us to round up to the nearest whole percent, we can assume it is correct.
Answer: D. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000
Explanation:
The Manufacturing overhead applied is less than the actual manufacturing overhead incurred by:
= 79,000 - 69,000
= $10,000
Manufacturing overhead is therefore underapplied as the amount applied is too low to cover the amount incurred.
The Cost of Goods sold after closing out is:
= Cost of goods sold before closing out + Underapplied manufacturing overhead
= 243,000 + 10,000
= $253,000
