a. The self-driving vehicle industry is changing too much for the top-down approach to be effective.
b. The top-down approach can only be applied to specific business functions.
c. The top-down approach leaves other employees uncertain about their roles in the company.
d. The top-down approach is expensive to maintain, leaving the company at a competitive disadvantage.
Answer:
a. The self-driving vehicle industry is changing too much for the top-down approach to be effective.
Explanation:
The top-down approach is a model in which there is a hierarchical style and the decisions are made by the manager and then informed down the organizational chart and the lower levels have to accept the decisions. In this approach, people in the lower levels have low participation and influence on the decisions and as the firm's industry is changing too much, this people would posses crucial information and specialized knowledge that the top level might not have and because of that, this approach might not be effective. According to that, the answer is that this scenario is wrong because the self-driving vehicle industry is changing too much for the top-down approach to be effective.
Pharrell, Inc., has sales of $602,000, costs of $256,000, depreciation expense of $62,500, interest expense of $29,500, and a ta
hjlf
Answer:
The earnings per share figure is $1.89
Explanation:
Sales of $602,000
Costs of $256,000
Depreciation expense of $62,500
Interest expense of $29,500
Tax rate of 40 percent.
-> Profit Before Tax = Sales - Cost - Depreciation Expense - Interest expense
= $602,000 - $256,000 - $62,500 - $29,500
= $254,000
Net profit = Profit before Tax x (1 - Tax rate) = $254,000 * (1 - 40%) = $152,400
Earnings per share = (net profit - dividend paid for preferred stock)/ common stock outstanding = ($152,400-$44,500)/ 57,000
= $1.89
Answer:
The expected profit is -$13,162.
I would not recomend the investor to make this investment.
Explanation:
The expected profit can be calculated multypling the probabilities of every outcome and the profit of each outcome, and substracting the total invevstment.
The outcomes are:
1) probability 0.39 of a $23,000 loss,
2) probability 0.24 of a $8700 profit,
3) probability 0.12 of a $31,000 profit, and
4) probability 0.25 of breaking even
NOTE: It is assumed that the outcomes does not include the initial investment.
Then, the expected profit of this investment is:
![E(P)=[0.39*(-23,000)+0.24*8,700+0.12*31,000+0.25*0]-10,000\\\\E(P)=[-8,970+2,088+3,720+0]-10,000\\\\E(P)=-3,162-10,000\\\\E(P)=-13,162](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%28P%29%3D%5B0.39%2A%28-23%2C000%29%2B0.24%2A8%2C700%2B0.12%2A31%2C000%2B0.25%2A0%5D-10%2C000%5C%5C%5C%5CE%28P%29%3D%5B-8%2C970%2B2%2C088%2B3%2C720%2B0%5D-10%2C000%5C%5C%5C%5CE%28P%29%3D-3%2C162-10%2C000%5C%5C%5C%5CE%28P%29%3D-13%2C162)
Answer:
<h2>Yes, the resume give HR / Technical person to understand and spot questions from the resume.</h2>
Explanation:
Though the question is little incomplete, I would try to answer assuming about the interview phases especially this resume review.
Resume is the first thing which the interviewer would see before they see you (Eg. Resume from job portal, resume received through friends or other employee referral, resume received through job fairs, etc)
So the interviewer
- can find whether the information given in the resume is true by spotting questions from that and testing your answer in the personal interview.
- can also understand how your work and the organization's expectation meet.
- can choose the best candidate by looking at the resume itself.
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Jasper Company
Income Statement
Sales (280000 x $12) $3360000
<u>Less: Cost of goods sold</u>
Add: Direct Material $180000
Add: Direct Labor $505000
Add: Manufacturing Overhead <u>$110000</u>
Cost of goods sold <u>($795000)</u>
Gross Profit $ 2565000
<u>Less: Expenses</u>
Selling expense $437000
Administrative expense <u>$854000</u>
Total expenses <u>($1291000)</u>
Net income <u> $1274000</u>
Percentage of sales for each line item
Sales = 100%
Cost of goods sold: 
x 100= 23.7%
Selling expense : 
x 100 = 13%
Administrative expense: 
x 100 = 25.4 %
2. According to the income statement in requirement 1, the manager can control cost by outsourcing the product if it is cheaper to get it from a third party in order to cut/control cost of goods sold.
Manager can also try controlling the administrative expenses as they are taking a bigger proportion than any other cost/ expense.
