Competition is also considered the basis for capitalist or free market economies.

Competition is desirable when the price charged to individuals equals the marginal cost of production to each firm. In other words, one can say sellers charge buyers a reasonable or fair price.

Competition is undesirable when it leads to a lower output and increased costs. Competition is undesirable in business because you have to prevent new innovative ideas surviving due to firms operating with high research and development costs alongside dominant advertising. In addition fewer incentives to cut costs because of a lack of competitors.

given Closed Conversation:

Start by talking / You were so unfair to me. I deserve an A.

Assume you know / You gave me a bad grade because you don't like me

Share nothing / I don't care what you say.

change conversation to an Open Conversation:

Start by Listening / I would like to hear what you think of my paper.

Assume You Don't Know / I worked really hard and do not know how I can do better.

Share Your Thoughts / I thought my paper was good.

so the conversation goes like "I thought my paper was good. I worked really hard and do not know how I can do better. I would like to hear what you think of my paper."

Predetermined Overhead Rate, Applied Overhead, Unit Cost Ripley, Inc., costs products using a normal costing system. The followi

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

1. $28

2. $278,040

3. $7,560 under-applied

4. $8.8536

Explanation:

The computation is shown below

1. Predetermined overhead rate = (Total Budgeted: Overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $285,600 ÷ 10,200 hours

= $28

2. The applied overhead would be

= Actual direct labor-hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 9,930 hours × $28

= $278,040

3. The over applied or under applied would be

= Actual manufacturing overhead - applied overhead

= $285,600 - $278,040

= $7,560 under-applied

4. Total cost per unit would be

= (Prime Cost + Applied Overhead) ÷ (Number of units)

= ($1,050,000 + $278,040) ÷ (150,000 units

= $1,328,040 ÷ 150,000 units

= $8.8536

Why is there an inherent conflict between planning and control uses of budgets?

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The main conflict that results between planning and control use of budgets is that managers might place their own personal interests before the interests of the company. This might result in budgets that are easily achievable (resulting in bonuses) or shifting income from one period to another in order to achieve certain budgets that will result in bonuses.

I will use a real life example that happened to me to explain this. I worked as a B2B sales representative for a large corporation (we were only 2 B2B salespeople + 1 manager) and when sales were slowing down, upper management would set up bonuses for achieving certain sales goals. The problem was that intentionally certain large sales that required management's approval were delayed and total sales would fall. Then suddenly the bonus show sup and all the large sales were approved and in two weeks the sales goals were achieved. Since B2B sales are not about selling to a lot of customers, but instead selling to the right customers a lot of products, a couple of delayed big sales made a huge difference and a 1% bonus meant changing your old car for a new one.

You are planning to save for retirement over the next 25 years. To do this, you will invest $1,000 a month in a stock account an

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Monthly withdraw= $12,452.6

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total accumulated at the moment of retirement. We will use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit

Stock:

Monthly investment= $1,000

Interest rate= 0.09/12= 0.0075

Number of periods= 25*12= 300 months

FV= {1,000*[(1.0075^300) - 1]} / 0.0075

FV= $1,121,121.94

Bond:

Monthly investment= $700

Interest rate= 0.06/12= 0.005

Number of periods= 25*12= 300 months

FV= {700*[(1.005^300) - 1]} / 0.005

FV= 485,095.77

Total FV= 1,121,121.94 + 485,095.77

Total FV= $1,606,217.71

Now, the annual withdrawal:

Interest rate= 0.07/12= 0.005833

Number of months= 12*20= 240

Monthly withdraw= (FV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]

Monthly withdraw= (1,606,217.71*0.005833) / [1 - (1.005833^-240)]

Monthly withdraw= $12,452.6
