Answer:
Controllable margin for the year = $40,000
Explanation:
Given:
Sales = $650,000
Contribution margin = $140,000
Total fixed costs (controllable) = $100,000
Average total operating assets = $280,000
Controllable margin for the year = ?
Computation of Controllable margin for the year :
Controllable margin for the year = Contribution margin - Total fixed costs (controllable)
Controllable margin for the year = $140,000 - $100,000
Controllable margin for the year = $40,000

Allison, an HR Executive at BigMind Inc., must recruit suitable candidates from a list of 50 job applicants. Which of the following is a legally permissible criterion that Allison can use to make a hiring decision?A. EducationB. GenderC. AgeD. National origin
Answer:
A. Education
Explanation:
OPTION (A) is absolutely correct, because Allison can only make hiring decision of the fifty applicants by their education.
As we know that the interviewer is not suppose to question any of the interviewee regarding their personal information like what is your color, where is your national origin, what is you age, what is your religion, what is your gender and marital status and also the interviewee's sexual orientation.
Final answer:
Education is the only legally permissible and non-discriminatory criterion Allison can use for hiring decisions at BigMind Inc., as Gender, Age, and National origin are protected characteristics under U.S. federal laws enforced by the EEOC.
Explanation:
Allison, an HR Executive at BigMind Inc., can use several legally permissible criteria to make a hiring decision. Among the options provided, Education is the only criterion that is legally permissible and non-discriminatory. Criteria such as Gender, Age, and National origin are protected characteristics under federal laws administered by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and cannot be considered in hiring decisions unless they are bona fide occupational qualifications (BFOQs), which are rare exceptions.
For instance, it is illegal for employers to make hiring decisions based on age under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, or on national origin under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Therefore, Allison must ensure that the recruitment process is free from discrimination by focusing on job-related qualifications like education, relevant experience, and specific skills necessary for the job.

You are hired as the consultant to a monopolistically competitive firm. The firm reports the following information about its price, marginal cost, and average total cost: P>MC, P=ATC. In what position is the monopolistically competitive firm?
A. A long run disequilibrium position
B. A short run disequilibrium position
C. A long run equilibrium position
D. A short run equilibrium position
Answer:
C. A long run equilibrium position
Explanation:
In the long run of monopolistical competition there are zero benefitis for the firms (P=ATV). This is because when there are no more incentives for firms to enter the market (which happens when there are possitive benefits, which means P>ATC). Each time a firms enter, it "captures" a part of the demand for our products, reducing demand. When benefits reduce to zero, no other firm has incentives to enter . Because a monopollistically competitive firm still faces a unique demand for its products, equilibria conditions state that it will produce the quantity delimited by the condition MC=MI (marginal cost equal to marginal income), then, marginal cost would be lower than price.This two considerations alltogheter determine the long run equilibria of a monopollistically competitive firm. See picture above.Stan plans to invest $100,000 in either a risk-free bond or a portfolio of 100 stocks. If he buys the bond, it will be worth $107,000 at the end of one year, for a guaranteed return of 7 percent. Alternatively, he could put $1,000 each into 100 different stocks. Each stock has a 50-50 chance of being worth either $2,300 or $0 at the end of the year, so the expected return on each stock (and the whole portfolio) is 15 percent. Which of the following should make Stan more likely to invest in the stock portfolio?The stocks are uncorrelated with each other (r = 0).
Answer:
The stock investment is preferred
Explanation:
The bond give a holding period yield of 14% which is calculated thus:
holding period yield =(p1-p0)/p0+return of 7%
=(107,000-100,000)/100,000+7%
=7%+7%
=14%
The stock investment of 15% is preferred over the bond return of 14%,since the stock portfolio comprises of assets that are not correlated which implies adverse performance in one stock asset does not affect the performance of others,invariably the 15% return is near guarantee.

Lein's net income is $200,000 and its operating cash flows are $240,000. The company reports total assets of $1.6 million and $1.8 million at the end of the prior and current year, respectively. Cash return on assets (rounded to one-tenth of a percent) is:
Final answer:
To calculate the Cash Return on Assets for Lein, the operating cash flows are divided by the average total assets, resulting in a CROA of 14.12%.
Explanation:
The question is asking to calculate the Cash Return on Assets (CROA), which is a measure of a company's operational efficiency in generating cash from its assets. To calculate this, we first find the average total assets for the year, then divide the company's operating cash flows by this average. Lein's average total assets would be ($1.6 million + $1.8 million) / 2, which is $1.7 million. The CROA is then computed as $240,000 (operating cash flows) divided by $1.7 million (average total assets), giving us 0.1412, or 14.12% when converted into a percentage and rounded to one-tenth of a percent.

ghana and south korea each have 200 units of resources. for ghana, it takes 10 units of resources to produce one ton of cocoa and 13.33 units to produce one ton of rice. for south korea, it takes 40 units to produce one ton of cocoa and 20 resources to produce one ton of rice. which one is not correct?
Answer:
Ghana has comparative advantage in Cocoa. And, South Korea has comparative advantage in Rice.
Explanation:
Resources needed to produce Cocoa & Rice, in Ghana & South Korea
Cocoa Rice Trade off Ratio
Ghana 10 13.33 10 : 13.33 = 0.75
South Korea 40 20 40 : 20 = 2
Comparative Advantage is an economy's ability to produce a good at lower opportunity cost (other good sacrifised) ; than other economy. It happens when economy is relatively more productive in production of that good, than the other good ; compared to other economy.
Ghana is 4 times productive in producing cocoa than South Africa (takes 1/4th resources). But it is comparatively lesser times productive in producing rice than South Korea.
Ghana produces cocoa by sacrifising less amount of rice than South Korea (0.75 < 2). So, Ghana has comparative advantage in Cocoa South Korea produces rice by sacrifising less cocoa units i.e = 0.5 (20/40), than Ghana which can produce rice by sacrifising 1.3 (13.33 / 10) cocoa units. So, South Korea has comparative advantage in Rice.Software (such as typical tax preparation software) which in essence interviews the user is following which user interface metaphor? a.

Matias is developing a pricing strategy for his start-up company. Market research tells him that there is no elite segment and the product that he sells offers little opportunity for differentiation. His marketing plan includes investments in advertising and promotion. Which pricing strategy is best suited for Matias's company?
Answer:
Penetration Pricing Strategy
Explanation:
The reason is that the penetration strategy is used when the product that the company wants to offer to its customers has very little or no differentiation, which is the case here. It is also helpful in promoting the product as the product is sold at lower prices helps to attract potential customers to buy the product. So setting a penetration price is itself a promotion strategy as well.

Francis may recover from GroundSwella.the costs needed to complete construction.b.the contract price.c.the contract price less costs of materials and labor.d.profits plus the costs incurred up to the time of the breach.
Answer:
Option A. The costs needed to complete construction
Explanation:
The reason is that the harm that the Francis beared due to the unableness of the company GroundSwell to complete the construction of the swimming pool is the cost needed to complete the construction because it is the price that the company GroundSwell must pay to EquiAqua Inc. to complete the construction. So this amount required for the completion of the construction is the actual harm to Francis and is also claimable.
The integrated cost leadership/differentiation strategy needs structural features that are partially centralized and partially decentralized, jobs that are semispecialized, and rules and procedures that call for some formal and some informal job behavior. True or false?
Answer:
true
Explanation:
An integrated cost leadership/differentiation strategy basically combines a cost leadership strategy (selling your products or services at a low cost) and a differentiation strategy (offering differentiated products or services). This way, the company offers differentiated products at the lowest possible price.
This strategy is very difficult to execute properly and successfully since generally differentiated products tend to be more expensive to produce than standard products.
On January 1, 2020, TigerKing Corp. issued $930,000 face value, 6%, 5 year bonds. The bond interest is paid on June 30 and December 31. The bonds sold for $1,013,538. When the bonds were sold, the effective rate of interest was 4%. Under the effective-interest method, what formula would you use to calculate total interest expense?
Answer:
the formulas used to calculate the interest expense:
interest amortization = (bond's market price or carrying value x effective interest) - (bond's face value x coupon rate) = premium on bonds payable (it is negative, so you must debit it)
interest expense = coupon rate + premium on bonds
in this case, the interest expense used to record the first and second coupon payments:
first coupon payment
($1,013,538 x 2%) - ($930,000 x 3%) = $20,271 - $27,900 = -$7,629
interest expense = $27,900 - $7,629 = $20,271
June 30, 2020
Dr Interest expense 20,271
Dr Premium on bonds payable 7,629
Cr Cash 27,900
second coupon payment
($1,005,909 x 2%) - ($930,000 x 3%) = $20,118 - $27,900 = -$7,782
interest expense = $27,900 - $7,782 = $20,118

In a manufacturing company, the cost of factory labor consists of all of the following except __________.a. net earnings of factory workers. b. gross earnings of factory workers. c. employer payroll taxes. d. fringe benefits incurred by the employer.
Answer:
a. net earnings of factory workers
Explanation:
As the total factory cost is equal to the total direct material and plus the direct labour plus the factory overhead. The direct labour is involved in the production of the goods. And most of the labour production is needed to produce a minimum number of staffing to the production area and should be considered as an overhead cost with the unit of production. For an example of a worker is paid a free piece-rate wage this can be considered as direct labour for each unit of manufacturing.Final answer:
In a manufacturing company, the cost of factory labor includes net earnings, gross earnings, employer payroll taxes, and fringe benefits, but not the profits earned by the company, which are the outcome after labor and other production costs are accounted for.
Explanation:
In the context of a manufacturing company, the cost of factory labor includes various elements such as the wages and benefits paid to and on behalf of the workers. The cost of labor incorporates the net earnings of factory workers, gross earnings of factory workers, employer payroll taxes, and fringe benefits incurred by the employer.
However, the part of the costs that doesn't constitute a manufacturing labor cost is the profits earned by the company or any potential capital owners. Profits are what remain after deducting the cost of production, including labor, from the revenue generated by the sale of the goods. Therefore, profits are not a part of the labor cost; instead, they are an outcome of the production process that includes those labor costs.
The term wages in economics refers to the total compensation, which goes beyond mere cash payments to include various benefits. The cost of production in economic discussions is mainly centered around labor and wages. While tools, materials, and other resources are certainly part of manufacturing costs, they ultimately represent labor costs since their production also required labor.
A profit maximizing firm will hire inputs in combinations A. such that the marginal physical product per last dollar spent on each factor of production is equalized. B. that equate marginal revenue products of each input. C. that minimize the prices of inputs. D. that equate marginal physical products of each input.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": such that the marginal physical product per last dollar spent on each factor of production is equalized.
Explanation:
The general concept of profit maximization relies on equalizing the marginal revenue to the marginal costs of a firm. The company selects the inputs necessary for production as well as the outputs that are likely to help to generate revenues at its maximum level. Inputs are hired in combinations when the last dollar spent on each input equals the marginal output.
Profit maximizing firms will hire inputs in combinations that equalize the marginal benefit from each input to its cost. This is not about minimizing input costs, but about maximizing the profit from each input.
Explanation:A profit maximizing firm will hire inputs in combination such that the marginal physical product per last dollar spent on each factor of production is the same (principle of equi-marginal utility) or the marginal revenue products of each input are the same. This means that the firm will balance the costs and benefits of each input in such a way that no change in the input mix can further increase profit. The idea is to get the most output from the least cost. It's not about minimizing the cost of inputs, but rather about equating the marginal returns of each input to the cost of that input. So the correct answers are options A and B. For example, if a firm finds that hiring an additional employee generates more additional revenue than it costs, then it is profitable to hire that worker. But if the additional revenue from hiring one more worker is less than the cost, then it is not profitable to hire that worker.

Trade sales promotion serves a purpose of taking products out of warehouses to points of retails where consumers can make purchases. The consumer sales promotion pulls customers into retail stores to promotional display units, giving shoppers the incentive to make an immediate purchase.
The Consumer sales promotion and trade sales promotions share a similarity. They are both used in helping to drive short-term consumer demand for products by giving consumers or wholesalers the incentive to purchase now or incentive to make an instant payment.
Rachel attends weekly major league baseball games with her boyfriend. One day, she gets hit in the head by a foul ball. If Rachel sues the baseball stadium for negligence related to the damages she sustained from the ball hitting her head, but the stadium prevails, what would be the stadium's winning defense
Answer:
Implied assumption of the risk
Explanation:
Implied assumption of the risk is the situation whereby the plaintiff underwent the full event with full knowledge understanding of the possible harm to him or herself and consent to the risk under those circumstances. In a baseball game, there's always a risk of the ball hitting the fans seated in the stadium. Each stadium going fan is aware of this risk and consent to it whenever the ugh choose to watch the game live from inside the stadium. Thus, the stadium would use the implied assumption of risk in winning a law suit that Racheal sues them for. Implied assumption of risk points to the fact that the individual voluntarily and knowingly assumed the risk present or associated with the activity.
Consider an economy with two types of firms, S and I. S firms always move together, but I firms move independently of each other. For both types of firm there is a 70% probability that the firm will have a 20% return and a 30% probability that the firm will have a -30% return.(a) What is the expected return for an individual firm?
(1) 14% (2) 3% (3) 5% (4) -5%
(b) The standard deviation for the return on an individual firm is closest to:
(1) 23% (2) 5.25% (3) 15% (4) 10%
Based on the probabilities and returns, the following are true:
Expected return = 5%Standard deviation = 23%Expected return is the weighted average of probabilities and returns:
= (Probability of payoff x Payoff) + (Probability of second payoff x Second payoff)
= (70% x 20%) + (30% x -30%)
= 5%
Standard deviation requires that variance is calculated first:
Variance = ∑((Probability x Difference between return and expected return) )²
= ((70% x (0.2 - 0.05)) + ( 30% x (-30% -0.05)))²
= 0.0525

The expected return for an individual firm is 5%. The standard deviation for the return on an individual firm is closest to 23%.
Explanation:The expected return for an individual firm is calculated by adding the product of each possible outcome and its respective probability. For firm S and I, that would be (0.7 * 20%) + (0.3 * -30%) = 14% - 9% = 5%. Hence, 5% is the expected return.
Now, let's calculate the standard deviation. It gives us a measure of the variation or dispersion of the returns. First, we calculate the variance by squaring the difference between each possible outcome and the expected return, multiplying this by their respective probability, and adding these up [(0.7 * (20%-5%)^2) + (0.3 * (-30%-5%)^2)]. This results in 0.0525 or 5.25% when converted to percentage. The standard deviation is then found by finding the square root of the variance which is approximately 22.9% or closest to 23%.

Answer:
a.
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that it is evident that Sammy's Soups has a deep product line but a narrow product mix. This is because he only offers one category of items, which are soup making his product mix all but non-existent, yet he offers 27 different varieties of soup which makes his product line very deep.
Answer:
A. Deep product line but a narrow product mix.
Explanation:
From the scenario given, it can be inferred that Sammy's Soups markets one product, however, they have 27 different varieties of the product. This implies that they possess a deep product line but a very narrow product mix.
When a company or business possesses one or a few products but different varieties within the product, it is said to have a deep product line but a narrow product mix.
One major disadvantage of this is that when the need for the product reduces, it affects the company's profits drastically because it has only one product in the market in different forms.

Most times in organizations, it is the people in leadership positions who set and manage goals for the employees and it is rare for staff to be part of the goal setting process,
Such employees are sometimes not sure of what to do and how to achieve the goals. Such employees are not in charge of their own responsibilities. Employee goal acceptance is when employees are just part of the process when making decisions even though the goals are set by the management.
Answer:
Goal acceptance
Explanation:
Goals setting means outlining the desired objectives to achieved by a business or an organization for the period. Organizations usually set goals at the beginning of each period or year. This will guide them throughout the course of the period should their be any deviation from these set goals.
When goals are spelt out and cascaded to lower cadre, the surbodinate must take ownership of the goals related to him or her. There must be commitment to the attainment of these goals by the surbodinate.
Managers have a duty to help and guide surbodinates reasonably so that they can accept the goals and make it their own. Where goals are not clearly spelt out or are ambiguous, it is the duty of the manager to help simplify and make it clearer for his surbodinate.
It is also imperative that surbodinates are involved in goal settings. Their involvement would bring internalization and drive essential to the attainment of these goals.
