Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of operating profit is shown below:-
Profit per unit = Purchase price from outside per unit + variable cost of production internally
= $15 - $7
= $8
Total increment in operating profit = Profit per unit × Total number of units
= $8 × 24,000
= $192,000
b. Minimum transfer price = Variable cost = $7 (because polk has overcapacity and there is no change in fixed cost and polk minimum has to recover its variable production cost)
c. Maximum transfer price = purchase cost from outside supplier = $15 (because if the internal transfer piece is more than $15 Bishop will lose so he prefers to buy from outside and the company as a whole will lose $192,000 in incremental operating profit
Answer: 1) Carol can use the surve results to . identify the building blocks of competitive advantage and develop strategies to use them to increase profitability and in this way try to get the most out of it.
2) Strategically, managers who have identified these advanced factors should <u>take steps to protect these assets, either formally or as a trade secret, optimize the company's use of them and not outsource them to other firms </u>because it is convenient to try that the competition does not find out about the use of this factor of production so that it cannot imitate them and thus be able to gain a greater market share to the competition.
3) The statement "in response to requests from customers for healthier food on the menu, a restaurant tweaks its recipe for its most popular sandwich to remove processed ingredients and replace them with fresh vegetables." describes a strategy that adds value to multiple factors as it goes through several activities in the value chain because the company's decision to use less processed ingredients and more fresh vegetables not only facilitates production but also responds to a customer need, which will value the products even more.
The probability of event B given that event A has already occurred is known as a CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY.
Conditional probability is written mathematically as: P[B/A], where P stands for probability.
Event A and B can be dependent or independent and this will have effect on the general formula of conditional probability, that is, the formula will change in form depending on the relationship between the two events.
Answer:
B) The State Disability Insurance (SDI) program benefits received for a period of disability are not taxable as income, but benefits received for time off under the Paid Family Leave program are federally taxable as income.
Explanation:
Disability insurance benefits are not reported for tax purposes with one exception. If a person are receiving unemployment insurance benefits,
become unable to work due to a disability, and begin receiving disability insurance benefits, your disability insurance benefits are considered a substitution for your unemployment insurance benefits, and will then be reported for tax purposes.
If disability insurance benefits are reported, a notice will accompany the first benefit payment sent to you advising that the benefits are being reported to the Internal Revenue Service. The employment development department will provide you with a 1099G tax form in January showing the reported amounts paid and forward a copy to the Internal Revenue Service.
Paid family leave benefits are reported for federal purposes but not state tax purposes.
Paid family leave benefits are not taxable or reported to the California State Franchise Tax Board.
