Answer:  increase; average fixed cost to decrease

Explanation:

Abbas produced 400,000 jars which is more than those produced by Taste of Base. With a higher quantity of jars produced, we can expect that they will sell more jars which means that Abbas' quantity sold will increase.

Average fixed cost is calculated by dividing Fixed costs by quantity produced. If Abbas produces more jars as they did, the quantity dividing fixed costs will be more which means that the Average Fixed cost will be less. Simply put, there is less fixed cost per jar, the higher the number of jars produced.

Complete the balance sheet and sales information in the table that follows for J. White
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Sales $600,000

Cost of Goods Sold $450,000

Cash $28,000

Accounts payable $110,000

Accounts receivable $60,000

Inventory $120,000

Common Stock $140,000

Fixed Asset $192,000

Total Liabilities and equity $400,000

Explanation:

1.To compute the missing amount of sales, we must look for the data given that has something to do with sales. And the two data given that will give us the hint are the Asset turnover and the total asset.

ASSET TURNOVER = Net Sales / Total Asset

1.5 = Net Sales * $400,000

Net Sales = 1.5 * $400,000

Net Sales = $600,000

To check if the answer is correct:

$600,000 / $400,000 = 1.5 <em>which is equal to the data given</em>

<em />

2. The Sales has been computed above and Gross profit margin on sales is present, these are the hint we needed to compute the Cost of goods sold.

Sales  100%

<u>Less: Gross profit margin on sales 25%</u>

Cost of goods sold ratio on sales 75%

Therefore, $600,000 x 75% (ratio on sales) = $450,000

3.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

It is impossible to compute the cash based on the data given without the accounts receivable. So, let's compute the accounts receivable beforehand.

The additional hint that we have is the Days sales outstanding (based on 365-day year).

  • Days sales outstanding = Accounts receivable / (Annual credit sales / 365 days)
  • 36.5 days = Accounts receivable / ($600,000 / 365)
  • Accounts receivable = 36.5 * ($600,000 / 365)
  • Accounts receivable = $60,000

<em>To check our answer:</em>

<em>$60,000 / ($600,000 / 365)</em>

<em>$60,000 / 1,643.84</em>

<em>36.5 days</em>

<em />

4. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Next missing item that we will compute is the accounts payable. The hint that we have that is related to the computation of accounts payable is the Liability to asset ratio.

FORMULA :

Liability to asset ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets

40% = Total Liabilities / $400,000

Total Liabilities = 40% * $400,000

Total liabilities = $160,000

To Check:

<em>$160,000 / $400,000 = 40% which is equal to the data given</em>

<em>Next Step, Compute accounts payable (the only current liability account in the given partial income statement). Long term debt is the only non-current liability on the data given, which means it is the only account that is included in the total liability of $160,000.</em>

<em />

So, $160,000 less $50,000 = $110,000 (accounts payable)

5. CASH

We can now compute the cash based on the accounts already computed above. The additional hint that we have is the quick ratio. Quick ratio is the quotient of Cash & cash equivalent plus Marketable securities (which is not present in the data given, therefore ignore) plus the accounts receivable over the current liability.

Computation:

0.80 = (Cash + Marketable security + Accounts receivable) / current liability

0.80 = (Cash + Accounts receivable) / $110,000

Cash + Accounts receivable = 0.80 * $110,000

Cash + Accounts receivable = 88,000

Cash + $60,000 = $88,000

Cash = $88,000 - $60,000

Cash = $28,000

6. INVENTORY

To compute the inventory, we need the inventory turn-over hint.

Inventory turn-over = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

3.75 = $450,000 / Ave inventory

Average inventory = $450,000 / 3.75

Average inventory = $120,000

to check:

<em>$450,000 / $120,000 = 3.75 which is equal to the data given</em>

<em />

7. COMMON STOCK

Total asset = Liabilities + Equity

$400,000 = $160,000 +?

$400,000 - $160,000 = $240,000

Equity is composed of common stock and retained earnings. Therefore, $240,000 - $100,000 (Retained earnings) = $140,000 (common stock)

8. FIXED ASSET

It is the only asset account that is missing after we computed cash, accounts receivable and inventory. Therefore total assets less current assets equals fixed assets.

  • $400,000 - ($28,000 + $60,000 + $120,000)
  • $400,000 - $208,000
  • $192,000 (fixed assets)

9. TOTAL LIABILITIES AND EQUITY

Current liability + Non-current liability + Common stock + Retained earnings

$110,000 + $50,000 + $140,000 + $100,000

$400,000

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Everyone has seen organizations and agencies make a case for their cause on the television, newspaper and radio. We have all heard stories about how a media consultant has helped improve a political candidate's image by cleverly manipulating the press. There are many ways you can use the media to the benefit of your cause. This section introduces you to working with the media.

WHAT ARE THE MEDIA AND MEDIA ADVOCACY?

Media, which is the plural form of 'medium', are the forms of communication – television and radio; newspapers, magazines, and written materials (or "print media"), and, more often now, the Internet – used to spread or transmit information from a source (which can be a person, an organization, a business, an institution, a government agency, a policy maker, or another media outlet) to the general public.

Advocacy means openly supporting a certain viewpoint or group of people. If you are an advocate for a specific cause, you work to persuade local, state, or federal governments or other entities to grant specific rights, make policy changes, provide money, or create new laws for the good of your cause. For example, if you have a child with a disability, you might advocate for the increased availability of medical services for handicapped children in your city.

Media advocacy is the use of any form of media to help promote an organization's or a company's objectives or goals, which come from the group's vision and mission. For example, suppose you’re a media advocate for a non-profit agency working to reduce gang violence in your neighborhood. You would try to present neighborhood issues related to gang violence and the changes you want to make in such a way that you:

Change the way community members look at gang violence. You might want to make it clear who it affects and why, or why kids get involved in gangs in the first place.

Create a reliable, consistent stream of publicity for your agency's issues and activities, including articles and news items about the causes and results of gang violence and about what your agency’s work entails; personal interest stories; success stories; interviews with agency staff and current and former gang members, etc..

Motivate community members and policy makers to get involved.  You probably have ideas about what could be done with public funding, or with government policies that addressed gang violence. You might have volunteer opportunities, or want to publicize a city- or state-sponsored initiative that needs public input and support.  Or perhaps you’re trying to raise money for your work. The media can help with all of these...if you know how to work with them.

Media advocates, or the people who work to attract publicity for organizations and causes, know that the media can get a public or social policy message across to the largest audience possible in the least amount of time.

As a media advocate, you can use the media to:
