rent year, the company is considering outsourcing the survey to Global Associates, who have offered to conduct the survey and summarize results for $30,300.Craig Sunshine, the president of Sunshine Motors, believes that Global will do a higher-quality job than his company has been doing, but is unwilling to spend more than $10,000 above the current costs. The head of bookkeeping for Sunshine has prepared the following summary of costs related to the survey in the prior year.
Mailing $16,600
Printing (done by Lester Print Shop) $4,500
Salary of Pat Fisher, part-time employee who stuffed envelopes and summarized data when surveys were returned (100 hours X $15) $1,500
Share of depreciation of computer and software used to track survey responses and summarized results. $1,100
Share of electricity/phone/etc. based on square feet of space occupied by Pat Fisher vs. entire company. $500

Answer:

                            survey is done      outsource survey     differential

                            by the company    to Global                   amount

Mailing costs       $16,600                 $0                              ($16,600)

Printing costs      $4,500                  $0                              ($4,500)

Labor costs         $1,500                   $0                              ($1,500)

Outsourcing         $0                         $30,300                    $30,300

costs                   <u>                                                                                   </u>

totals                    $22,600                $30,300                   $7,700

The incremental cost of outsourcing the surveys is $7,700. Some of the current costs are unavoidable, e.g. depreciation expense and utilities, so they should not be considered in this analysis. But other costs, e.g. direct labor, are avoidable.

I know that Pat using the computer will increase the company's electric bill by a few dollars, but it would never be $500 (maybe $5). Maybe he even calls a few customers to check some answers, but again this might add $10 to the phone bill. Also, Pat using the computer's mouse or any other equipment might result in it breaking down, but that is not worth $1,500. Since the cost analysis is not specific, it is safer not to include depreciation or utilities.

Daniel can also keep a copy of the letter for himself. A letter has an advantage over the other electronic options. Electronic records can be deleted permanently or get lost should the systems collapse.

Sheryl’s Shipping had sales last year of $10,000. The cost of goods sold was $6,500, general and administrative expenses were $1
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

What are earnings before interest and taxes?

To find this figure, we substract the cost of goods sold, general and administrative expenses, and depreciaction expense from the total sales:

Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) = $10,000 - $6,500 - $1,000 - $1,000 = $1,500

What is net income?

To find the net income, we take the EBIT we found above, and substract from it the interest expense, which gives us the taxable income:

Taxable Income = $1,500 - $500

                           = $1,000

Now that we have the taxable income, we multiply this figure by the tax rate, to obtain the tax expense.

Tax expense = $1,000 x 35%

                      = $350

Finally, our net income is equal to the taxable income minus the tax expense:

Net Income = $1,000 - $350

                    = $650

What is cash flow from operations?

We add the non-cash expenses to net income to find this figure. In this case, we only have one non-cash expense: depreciation expense.

Cash flow from operations = $650 + $1,000

                                              = $1,650

United Machining's margin was 2% and turnover was 3.0 on sales of $60 million for the year. On the basis on this information____
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

B, net income for the year was $1,200,000, average assets were $20 million, ROI was 6%

Explanation:

net income is calculated by multiplying the percentage margin by the sales. We have,

(2 ÷ 100) × $60,000,000

= 0.02 × $60,000,000

= $1,200,000

To calculate the average assets, sales is divided by the turnover.

we have, ($60,000,000 ÷ 3.0)

= $20,000,000.

To calculate the ROI, margin and turnover are multiplied.

we have,

(2% × 3.0) = 6%

Cheers.

Who pays the tax does depend on who writes the check to the government?
mina [271]
Who pays the tax does NOT depend on who write the check to the government.
Who pays the check ultimately depend on the elasticity of supply and demand. This is because, suppliers have several ways of passing the taxes levied on them by the government to the consumers in form of increase in price of their products. But this also depend on the elasticity of the products, because if the prices are too high, some customers may decide to buy somewhere else or to go for a substitute.<span />

How would the number of firms competing in a particular market affect the likelihood that an exporter to that market would be ac
professor190 [17]

Answer:

We can assume companies form country A export to country B. Country B's economy is very large and many domestic and foreign firms compete in it. High levels of competition will eventually lower the costs of products sold in a market, so the products sold in Country B have relatively low prices.

In order for foreign companies to compete in country B's market they must have low prices. So companies from country A will sell its products in country B at low prices, increasing the possibility that the price of their exports are lower than their domestic prices (prices for their own country). Therefore the chance for a dumping accusation increases.
