Answer:
Individual rewards for contributions to the team
Explanation:
A team should share rewards among themselves not to individuals, because effective teams are made of collaborators not competitors. By giving individual rewards for contributions to the team it reduces how effective the team behavior is.

In January, Stitch, Inc. adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation. At adoption, inventory was valued at $50,000. During the year, inventory increased $30,000 using base-year prices, and prices increased 10%. The designated market value of Stitch's inventory exceeded its cost at year end. What amount of inventory should Stitch report in its year-end balance sheet
Answer:
$83,000
Explanation:
Calculation of the amount of inventory that Stitch should report in its year-end balance sheet
First step is to calculate for the 10% price increase
Increase price = ( $30,000 x 10% ) =$3,000
Second step is to add up the price increase to the amount of increase in inventory
$30,000 + $3,000 =$33,000
Hence, $33,000 will now be the increased in price inventory
Last step is to calculate for the amount of inventory that Stitch should report in its year-end balance sheet
Using this formula
Inventory to be reported = Valued of the Adoption inventory + Increase price Inventory
Where,
Adoption inventory value= $50,000
Increase price Inventory=$33,000
Let plug in the formula
Inventory to be reported = $50,000 + $33,000
Inventory to be reported =$83,000
Therefore the amount of inventory that Stitch should report in its year-end balance sheet will be $83,000

Melonville Man orders a selection of men's jackets from LaRue's catalog, asking that LaRue select an assortment of goods for the buyer. LaRue takes advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the odd-sized jackets and those in pastel colors that are no longer popular. LaRue:
Answer:
violated the good faith requirement under sales contracts
Explanation:
In this scenario, it seems that LaRue violated the good faith requirement under sales contracts. In the context of business contracts, good faith refers to dealing honestly and fairly with one another in order for both parties to receive the benefits of the negotiated contract/agreement. In this scenario, LaRue did not do this. Instead, he used the opportunity to take advantage of Melonville Man by adding all the jackets that were unsellable into their purchased package.

If the government requires a natural monopoly to price at marginal cost, Group of answer choices monopoly firms will earn zero economic profits because the price of the good equals the cost of producing that good. monopoly firms will operate at a loss because P < AC. more firms will be able to enter the market. producer surplus will increase because quantity supplied is greater.
Answer:
monopoly firms will operate at a loss because P < AC
Explanation:
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.
A natural monopoly exists either because of high start-up costs or high economies of scale.
A natural monopoly has a decreasing average cost for some output. When the average cost is falling, the marginal cost lies below the average cost. If the government sets price to be equal to marginal cost, which lies below the average cost, the monopoly would incur losses.
Pearl Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Pearl also provides installation service for the windows. The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Pearl enters into the following contract on July 1, 2017, with a local homeowner. The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,440 and chooses Pearl to do the installation. Pearl charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The installation service is estimated to have a standalone selling price of $630. The customer pays Pearl $2,040 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, which have a cost of $1,130) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2017, Pearl completes installation on October 15, 2017, and the customer pays the balance due.
Given uncertainty of finding skilled labor, Pearl is unable to develop a reliable estimate for the standalone selling price of the installation.

calculate revenue and capital expenditure
a) purchase of machinery 6500
Answer with its Explanation:
I was unable to find the question, but I think that I can help you understand the difference between the revenue expenditure and the capital expenditure.
Capital Expenditure:
Capital expenditure is the purchase of an asset whose value will last more than a year or expenditure incurred to increase the life of the asset above the initial life or expenditure to increase the productivity of the asset above productivity of the asset when it was purchased.
Examples include the purchase of van. It has life of more than a year hence it must be capitalized. Likewise if we install security system in it then this expenditure will qualify for capital expenditure as it adds additional feature to the asset.
a. The purchase of Machinery of $6,500 is capital expenditure as it has life more than a year.
Revenue Expenditure
The revenue expenditure is the purchase of product or services whose benefits will last within a year or are expenditure on the fixed asset to keep it running. Examples are, ballpoints which is a product that has life< one year. So it must be expensed out at the spot. Likewise the entertainment expenditures of $50 which includes the purchase of pizza and other items for guests, also has less than one year life. Hence these entertainment expenditures must also be expensed out.
Depreciation is a special case here, it is the decrease in the value of Non Current Asset. Hence the decrease in the value of the Non Current Asset must be reduced to its fair value. Depreciation is an utilization of the Non Current Asset's value in the form of benefits drawn from it and it can be measured as decrease in the asset's value. However, sometimes it is difficult to find the fair value of the asset in the market. To resolve this issue, we use depreciation formula to estimate the decrease in the value of the asset.
The demand for an electronic component is normally distributed with an average daily demand of 500 units and a standard deviation of 50. The lead time for the component is 9 days. If a service level of 95% is desired then the company's reorder point for this component would be approximately Group of answer choices
Answer:
4,747
Explanation:
The computation of the reorder point is shown below:-
Reorder Point = Average Daily demand × Lead time + ( Service level × (Average lead time × standard deviation of demand^2 )^ 0.5
For service probability level of 95% is 1.64
= 500 × 9 + 1.64 × (9 × 50^2)^0.5
= 4,500 + 1.64 × 150
= 4,500 + 247
= 4,747
Therefore for computing the reorder point we simply applied the above formula.

Taylor s has a beta of .78 and a debt-to-equity ratio of .2. The market rate of return is 10.6 percent, the tax rate is 34 percent, and the risk-free rate is 1.4 percent. The pretax cost of debt is 6.1 percent. What is the firm's WACC
Answer: 7.82%
Explanation:
Given the following :
Beta (B) = 0.78
Debt to equity ratio = 0.2
Market rate of return (Rm) = 10.6% = 0.106
Tax rate (T) = 34% = 0.34
Risk free rate (Rf) = 1.4% = 0.014
Pretax cost of debt (Kd) = 6.1% = 0.061
WACC =
Cost of equity (Ke) = Rf + (Rm - Rf) * B
Ke = 0.014 + (0.106 - 0.014) * 0.78
Ke = 0.014 + (0.092)*0.78
Ke = 0.014 + 0.07176
Ke = 0.08576
Equity (E) = 1
Debt (D) = 0.2
Total volume of company's finance (V) = 1+0.2 = 1.2
WACC = (E/V)*Ke + (D/V)*(1 - T)*Kd
WACC = [(1/1.2)*0.08576] + [(0.2/1.2)*(1 -0.34)*0.061
WACC = [0.0714666 + 0.00671]
WACC = 0.0781766 = 0.0782 = 7.82%

The balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at the beginning of the month was $79,000 and at the end of the month was $72,000. The cost of goods manufactured for the month was $361,600. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $118,400 and the manufacturing overhead cost applied to jobs was $112,000. The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for July is
Answer:
Adjusted cost of goods sold $ 375,000
Explanation:
Under-absorbed overhead = Actual overhead - Absorbed overhead
= 118,400- 112,000 = 6,400
Under-absorbed overhead= 6,400
Data:
Opening inventory 79,000
cost of goods sold 361,600
under absorbed overhead 6,400
closing inventory 72,000
The income statement would as follows:
$
Opening inventory 79,000
Add cost of goods sold 361,600
Add under absorbed overhead 6,400
less closing inventory (72,000)
Adjusted cost of goods 375,000
Note the under absorbed overhead implies that the cost of manufactured reported before the adjustment for the under-absorbed overhead is under cost and charged. To correct this the under absorbed overheard figure is added back.
Eve Cosmetics Company consists of two departments, Blending and Filling. The Filling Department received 50,000 ounces from the Blending Department. During the period, the Filling Department completed 46,000 ounces, including 4,000 ounces of work in process at the beginning of the period. The ending work in process inventory was 8,000 ounces. How many ounces were started and completed during the period?
Answer:
The number of ounces started and completed during the period is 42,000 ounces.
Explanation:
The number of ounces started and completed during the period can be computed by simply deducting the beginning work in process from the number of ounces completed.
Since we have the following from the question:
Number of ounces completed by Filling = 46,000 ounces
Beginning work in process = 4,000 ounces
Therefore, we have:
Number of ounces started and completed = Number of ounces completed by Filling - Beginning work in process = 46,000 ounces - 4,000 ounces = 42,000 ounces
Therefore, the number of ounces started and completed during the period is 42,000 ounces.

Sales totaled $9,800,000 and investment center income totaled $766,500 for the most recent year. Investment center average invested assets were $3,650,000 during that year. Top management has set a target income of 11.5% of investment center assets. What is the department's residual income
Answer:
Residual income= 346,750
Explanation:
Residual income is the excess of the controllable profit over the opportunity cost of capital invested.
It is used to evaluate the financial performance of a division or department
It is computed as follows:
Residual income = Controllable profit - (cost of capital× operating assets)
Net income - 766,500
investment asset-3,650,000
Cost of capital - 11.5%
Residual income = 766,500 - (11.5%×3,650,000) = 346750
Residual income= 346,750
