Answer with Explanation:

A "Centrally Planned Economy" refers to an economy where the government's authority affects the economic decisions of the business owners. This means that the business owners and the consumers do not have a say when it comes to their decisions regarding the supply and demand of the items.

This also means that the business owner cannot decide on what product he will be producing, including its process of production and distribution.

Additional Explanation:

Although the command economy signals a lack of freedom for business owners, it has some advantages as well. It results to low unemployment level. The government has the ability to set the number of workers that the business owners will hire in order to address the unemployment rate. Products and services that will be produced are all directed for the good of the people. It is not "profit-driven."

Answer:

1.$4.29 per cases

2. Extra Fine $14.29

Family Style $13.29

3a. Extra Fine $4.71

Family Style $0.29

3b. What might the management conclude about the Family Style Salsa product line is that Family Style salsa are not yielding profit which may may inturn make make the company to stop the production of the product in a situation where either the cost are not reduced or where the price.

Explanation:

1. Computation for the overhead cost that is assigned to each case of Extra Fine Salsa and each case of Family Style Salsa using Plantwide overhead rate

Using this formula

Overhead cost=Total overhead cost/Total volume

Let plug in the formula

First step is to calculate the Total overhead cost

Total overhead cost = $130,800 + $349,000 +$206,000

Total overhead cost =$685,800

Second step is to calculate the Total volume

Total volume= 35,000 + 125,000 cases

Total volume=160,000 cases

Now let calculate the Overhead cost

Overhead cost=$685,800/160,000 cases

Overhead cost=$4.29 per cases (rounded)

Therefore since we are making use of plantwide rate which means that same overhead cost of the amount of $4.29 per cases will be assigned to each of the two case .

2. Calculation to determine the total cost per case for the two products

Extra Fine Family Style

Direct materials + Direct Labor $ 10.00 $ 9.00

Add Overhead $4.29 $4.29

Manufacturing cost per case $ 14.29 $ 13.39

Therefore the the total cost per case for the two products will be:

Extra Fine $14.29

Family Style $13.29

3-A Calculation to determine the gross profit per case for each product.

Extra Fine Family Style

Selling price per case $ 19.00 $ 13.00

Less Manufacturing cost per case $14.29 $13.29

Gross profit (loss) per case $ 4.71. $ (0.29 )

Therefore the gross profit per case for each product will be ;

Extra Fine $4.71

Family Style $0.29

3-b. Based on the above Calculation What might the management conclude about the Family Style Salsa product line is that Family Style salsa are not yielding profit which may may inturn make make the company to stop the production of the product in a situation where either the cost are not reduced or where the price.

Answer:

focus on a client-server model

Explanation:

In this scenario, the best advice that can be given would be to focus on a client-server model. Since almost all of the applications that will be used by the employees are server-based it would be best to focus on only implementing the minimum necessary hardware for the 30 employees. So much so that they are able to access the server correctly but without adding excessive hardware power that would simply be overkill. Since the company already has all the necessary LAN switches it would be fairly simple to connect all of these machines together and 50 Mbps is more than enough for data transfer.
