Which of the following would be​ true? A. Organizational culture never changes. B. Organizational culture is an evaluative rathe
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The correct option is (C)

Explanation:

Organizational culture refers to the beliefs, ideologies, values and experiences that help in creating social as well as psychological environment in an organization. Culture is formed by the organization based on shared beliefs, interest and attitude that are developed over a period of time.

Organizational culture is descriptive as it includes all rules and regulations, and expectations in detail. It is however not evaluative as it cannot be judged if anybody likes or dislikes it. Culture is only concerned about the perception about the characteristics of the organization.

So, organizational culture is descriptive and not evaluative.

Kulka Corporation manufactures two products: Product F82D and Product T05P. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on
ipn [44]

Answer:

b. $303,000

Explanation:

The activity rate

1. Machining = $\frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{total activity}}$

                    $=\frac{180000}{9000}$

                   = $ 20 per machine hour

2. Machine set up =   $\frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{total activity}}$

                    $=\frac{125000}{250}$

                   = $ 500 per set up

3. Product design =  $\frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{total activity}}$

                    $=\frac{44000}{2}$

                   = $ 22000 per product

4. Order size =  $\frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{total activity}}$

                    $=\frac{260000}{10000}$

                   = $ 26 per direct labor hour

Now the ABC cost (Product T05P)

1. Machining  = $\text{machine hours} \times \text{activity rate}$

                     = 4000 x 20

                     = $ 80,000

2. Machine set ups =  $\text{no. of set ups} \times \text{activity rate}$

                     = 90 x 500

                     = $ 45,000

3. Product design =  $\text{no. of products} \times \text{activity rate}$

                     = 1 x 22000

                     = $ 22,000

4. Order size =  $\text{direct labor hours} \times \text{activity rate}$

                     = 6000 x 26

                     = $ 156,000

Therefore, the total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to product T05P = 80000 + 45000 + 22000 + 156000

= $ 303,000

Suppose the number of firms you compete with has recently increased. You estimated that as a result of the increased competition
marysya [2.9K]

Answer and Explanation:

An increase in the number of firms increases the demand elasticity. As the demand elasticity increases from 2 to 3 it means you could encounter less demand if product prices are increased. At a demand elasticity of -3, it is regarded as inelastic demand and a change in price will not affect the demand for the product as customers are still likely to patronize the product example gasoline. Due to its high demand, an increase in price will not readily affect the demand for it. Therefore if you are to change the price from $10 at 2 to 3 demand elasticity increase, the percentage of increase from 2 to 3 is given as.

3-2/2 X 100 = 50%

The new charge (x) at -3 demand elasticity = 50%/3 = 0.66666666

The increase in the new charge is therefore $10 + $10x = $10 + $10(0.166666) = $11.67

Countess Corp. is expected to pay an annual dividend of $4.57 on its common stock in one year. The current stock price is $73.59
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The cost of equity is 9.91%

Explanation:

The constant growth model of the DDM is used to calculate the price of the share or the fair value per share based on a constant growth in dividends and the required rate of return which is also known as cost of equity.

Plugging in the available values in the formual we can calculate the cost of equity or the required rate of return.

73.59 = 4.57 / (r - 0.037)

73.59 * (r - 0.037) = 4.57

73.59r - 2.72283 = 4.57

73.59r = 4.57 + 2.72283

r = 7.29283 / 73.59

r = 0.0991 or 9.91%
