Suppose there are 11 buyers and 11 sellers, each willing to buy or sell one unit of a good, with values {$14, $13, $12, $11, $10, $9, $8, $7, $6, $5, $4,}. Assume no transaction costs and a competitive market. If there is a market maker in this market. What is the profit maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker? a. $9 bid; $9 ask b. $6 bid; $12 ask c. $8 bid; $10 ask d. $7 bid; $11 ask
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question given; The objective here is to determine the profit maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker. In order to achieve that; The demand supply schedule of the number of units bought and sold need to be computed which is shown in the table below.
Price Quantity demanded by buyers Quantity sold by sellers
$14 1 11
$13 2 10
$12 3 9
$11 4 8
$10 5 7
$9 6 6
$8 7 5
$7 8 4
$6 9 3
$5 10 2
$4 11 1
However; As the two transactions are happening simultaneously; There are 11 people participating in buying of a good and selling from one person to the other.
But the maximum even number of people that can be part of this trade is only 10 people.
So; for the individual having an higher value for the good will be able to afford it and which are those that falls into the category of $14,$13,$12,$11,$10,$9 can place bid for the good.
On the other hand, the individual having a lower value for the good will sell it and which are those that falls into the category of $4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9 and would want to sell it for the ask price of the good.
In this trend, we understand that the individual valuing the good for $9 won't be able to participate due to the fact that He appears on both trends because in the demand side , he have the lowest willingness to pay and at the seller's side he has the the highest value for the good and that the equilibrium price in this market is $ 9 because at this price the quantity demanded equals quantity supplied .
Thus; we can conclude that there are 5 transactions in the maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker.

Suppose the U.S. economy is initially at long run equilibrium, when there is an unexpected large increase in the price of steel used by firms in production. How does this impact the U.S. economy? (write out either "inflationary" or "recessionary" In response to this what monetary policy would the Fed employ? (write one of the following: "raise taxes", "lower taxes", "raise money supply", or "lower money supply" What is the most likely way the Fed will accomplish this change in the monetary policy? (write one of the following: "buy securities", "sell securities", "raise discount rate", "lower discount rate", or "legislation" This action by the Fed will cause interest rates to _______. (Write out "increase" or "decrease" The end result of the monetary policy is a shift of which curve in which direction. (Write out one of the following: "AD right", "AD left" "AS left", "AS right"
Answer:
The price hike in the price of steel would cause an inflationary push in the U.S. economy, because steel is a input to the production processes of many firms.
In this scenario, the fed would lower the money supply in order to stop the inflationary push from continuing. To do so, the fed would sell government securities.
Alexander and Kristin are executive managers at Safety First Fall Safety Equipment Co. They realize that within the last several quarters, they have been treating the performance metrics from the company's two very distinct divisions the same rather than focusing on the unique aspects of each division. They have inaccurately assessed divisional performance as a result. Alexander and Kristin realize they have fallen prey to a cognitive bias known as:_______
a. common measures bias
b. motivated reasoning
c. surrogation
d. uncommon measures bias
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be Option A (Common measures bias).
Explanation:
CMS occurs because once variations throughout order to respond have been triggered either by method rather than with the real propensities of the participants that only the equipment is trying to expose.It suggested a lack of desire on the part of the decision-maker to integrate specific knowledge because this knowledge provides additional cognitive effort. It's streamlined.The remaining three solutions are not relevant to the situation in question. So Choice A is the right one.
A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month and incurred the following costs: Production costs (5,000 units): Direct materials $70,000 Direct labor 20,000 Variable factory overhead 10,000 Fixed factory overhead 2,000 $102,000 Operating expenses: Variable operating expenses $17,000 Fixed operating expenses 1,000 18,000 If 1,000 units remain unsold at the end of the month and sales total $150,000 for the month, the amount of operating income reported on the absorption costing income statement would be
Answer:
Net operating income= $50,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production costs (5,000 units):
Direct materials $70,000
Direct labor 20,000
Variable factory overhead 10,000
Fixed factory overhead 2,000
Total= 102,000
Operating expenses:
Variable operating expenses $17,000
Fixed operating expenses 1,000
Sales= 4,000 units
Sales revenue= $150,000
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Unitary product cost= 102,000/5,000= $20.4
Income statement:
Sales= 150,000
COGS= 20.4*4,000= (81,600)
Gross profit= 68,400
Variable operating expenses= (17,000)
Fixed operating expenses= (1,000)
Net operating income= 50,400

The requirement is that at the end of the accounting period, the fair value is determined and used to value the investment. Unrealized Gains or Losses are recorded, depending on their fair values. The gains or losses become realized when the investments are sold.
Chocolates R' Us, Inc is owned equally by Desi and his wife Lucy, each of whom hold 550 shares in the company. Lucy plans to reduce her ownership in the company, with the company planning to redeem 475 of her shares for $10,000 per share on December 31 of this year. Assume Desi and Lucy are not getting along and have separated due to marital discord, but are not legally separated. Because they no longer talk to each other, they communicate only through their accountant. Lucy wants to argue that she should not be treated as owning any of Desi's stock in Chocolates because of their hostility toward each other. Can family hostility be used as an argument to voice the family attribution rules?
Answer:
Chocolates R' Us, Inc.
Family hostility cannot be used as an argument to void the family attribution rules.
Lucy is still legally married to Desi. What the husband, Desi, therefore, owes, she owes equally despite their separation and her intention to reduce her ownership in their joint company.
Explanation:
Family Attribution Rules: Section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code says an individual shall be considered as owning the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for his spouse and his children, grandchildren, and parents, including legally adopted children.

On October 31, 2018, your company's records say that the company has $20,419.93 in its checking account. A review of the bank statement shows you have three outstanding checks totaling $8,912.25, and the bank has paid you interest of $27.14 and charged you $22.00 in service charges. The bank statement dated October 31, 2018 would report a balance of: (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $29337.32
Explanation:
The following can be reduced from the question:
Balance as per company's ledger = $20,419.93
Add the outstanding checks= $8912.25
Add interest = $27.14
Less the fee charged by the bank = $22.00
The bank statement dated October 31, 2018 would report a balance of:

The demand curve for the new computer game, Rock and Roll Trivia, is given as follows: Q = 200 - 5P - .1Pc - .5Pd + .2A - I Where P is the price of the game, Pc is the price of a computer, Pd is the price of a diskette, A is the level of advertising, and Q is the level of income. Suppose P = 10, Pc = 100, Pd = 2, A = 5, and I = 50. What is the price elasticity of demand?
Answer:
Income elasticity of demand = - 0.56
Explanation:
Given,
P=10, Pc=100, Pd=2, A=5, and I=50.
So,
Q=200-5(10)-.1(100)-.5(2)+.2(5)-(50).
Q=90 (level of income)
Computation:
Given , I = 50, Q = 90.
ΔQ / ΔI = -1
Income elasticity of demand = (ΔQ / ΔI) x (I / Q)
Income elasticity of demand = - 1 x (50 / 90)
Income elasticity of demand = - 0.56
Which of the following statements regarding changes in accounting principles is not true? Most changes in accounting principles are retroactively reported. Most changes in accounting principles are only reported in current periods when the principle change takes place. Changes in accounting principles are allowed when new principles are preferable to old ones. Consistency is one of the biggest concerns when a change in accounting principle is undertaken.
Answer:
Most changes in accounting principles are only reported in current periods when the principle change takes place.
Explanation:
Accounting principle can be defined as a general guideline to be followed by accountants or financial institutions when they record and report their financial transactions.
A change in an accounting principle involves a change in an accounting method used.
For instance, an accountant switching between First In, First Out (FIFO) to Last In, First Out (LIFO) method of inventory valuation or by using another depreciation method.
Additionally, an accounting principle should only be changed, if it's applicable to the accounting framework being used such as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Also, it is important to state in the footnotes of the financial statements a full disclosure to highlight the justification for the preferred change and financial implications of this change.
The following are true about the change in accounting principles;
1. Most changes in accounting principles are retroactively reported.
2. Changes in accounting principles are allowed when new principles are preferable to old ones.
3. Consistency is one of the biggest concerns when a change in accounting principle is undertaken.
Assume Zap industries reported the following adjusted account balances at year-end. 2019 2018 Accounts Receivable $ 1,690,200 $ 1,340,920 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (92,000 ) (76,300 ) Accounts Receivable, Net $ 1,598,200 $ 1,264,620 Assume the company recorded no write-offs or recoveries during 2019. What was the amount of Bad Debt Expense reported in 2019
Answer:
amount of Bad Debt Expense for 2019 = $92,000
Explanation:
A bad debt expense is a uncollectible receivable amount incurred on a credit sale to a customer, who is no longer able to pay the debt, due to bankruptcy or other financial problems. Companies make provision for these kind of credit losses in the allowance for doubtful accounts, and hence records the amount used from the allowance for doubtful accounts as the bad debt expense.
In our example, the allowance for doubtful account for 2019 is $92,000, hence since it was used to settle part of the credit losses, this becomes the bad debt expense.

If a fixed asset, such as a computer, were purchased on January 1st for $1,832.00 with an estimated life of 6 years and a salvage or residual value of $123.00, what is the journal entry for monthly expense under straight-line depreciation?
Answer:
Dr depreciation expense $ 23.74
Cr accumulated depreciation $ 23.74
Explanation:
The depreciation per month would be first thing to determine:
Yearly depreciation =Cost of asset-residual value/useful life
cost of asset is $1,832.00
residual value which is disposal value at the end of useful life is $123.00
Useful life is 6 years
yearly depreciation charge= ($1,832.00-$123.00)/6=$ 284.83
Monthly depreciation expense=yearly depreciation charge/12=$284.83/12=$23.74
The journal entry monthly would be a debit to depreciation expense and a credit to accumulated depreciation
On May 1, 2021, Bonita Industries declared and issued a 10% common stock dividend. Prior to this dividend, Bonita had 195000 shares of $1 par value common stock issued and outstanding. The fair value of Bonita's common stock was $24 per share on May 1, 2021. As a result of this stock dividend, Bonita's total stockholders' equity:______
a. decreased by $480700.
b. increased by $480700.
c. did not change.
d. decreased by $23000.
Answer:
No Answer in Option but the Equity decreases by $468,000
Explanation:
From the question,
Common Stock that Bonita industries had at par $1 = $195,000
They issued a common stock dividend= 10%
The Value of Stock dividend = 10/100 * 195,000 = $19,500
The fair value of Bonita's common stock was $24 per share on May 1, 2021. Hence, the stock dividend will be 19,500 * 24 = $468,000
We must understand that Stock dividend are issued from Retained Earning, hence as a result of this stock dividend, Bonita's total stockholder equity decreased by $468,000
Purpose of Assignment The purpose of this assignment is for students to employ capital budgeting techniques using time value of money concepts to determine the acceptability of large dollar value assets. Assignment Steps Scenario: A firm has projected free cash flows of $575,000 for Year 1, $625,000 for Year 2, and 650,000 for Year 3, $725,000 for Year 4, and 850,000 for Year 5. The projected terminal value at the end of Year 5 is $6,000,000. The firm's Weighted Average cost of Capital (WACC) is 12.5%. Create a Microsoft® Excel® document to determine the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) value of the firm based on the information provided above. Recommend acceptance of this project using net present value criteria using a Microsoft® Word® document. Include up to what level of initial investment you would accept the project? Why? Give a complete explanation of up to 350 words. Display your calculations. Coursehero
Answer:
Present Value 5,715,331.32
We are going to accept the project only if the initial investment is at 5,715,331 or below in order to achieve the return to support the cost of capital structure of the company
Accepting a project with a higher cost will not generate enought cashflow to sustain the patyment of debt and the return expected from the stockholders therefore, will generate a economic result and investor will leave the company for other which can sustain their desired return.
Explanation:
We are going to discount the yearly cash-flow at the given rate of 12.50%
then, the terminal value which is the present value of the future period will also be discounted at this rate.
The sum of all this will be the present value of the firm.
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}$Year&$Cash Flow&$Discounted\\1&575000&511111.11\\2&625000&493827.16\\3&650000&456515.77\\4&725000&452613.93\\5&850000&471689.61\\$terminal&6000000&3329573.74\\Present&Value&5715331.32\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
The formula we use the present value of a lump sum:
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
We are going to accept the project only if the initial investment is at 5,715,331 or below in order to achieve the return to support the cost of capital estructure of the company

At the current year-end, Simply Company found that its overhead was underapplied by $2,500, and this amount was not considered material. Based on this information, Simply should: Multiple Choice Close the $2,500 to Cost of Goods Sold. Close the $2,500 to Finished Goods Inventory. Do nothing about the $2,500, since it is not material, and it is likely that overhead will be overapplied by the same amount next year. Carry the $2,500 to the income statement as "Other Expense". Carry the $2,500 to the next period.
Answer:
Close the $2,500 to Cost of Goods Sold
Explanation:
The under applied overhead is added to the Cost of Goods Sold amount.
The same amount would be debited to the cost of goods sold and the manufacturing overhead would be credited with the same amount that is $ 2500.
Under applied overhead means that the overhead actually incurred is more than the overhead planned of to be incurred. So we add back the amount by which it is less.

Required
a. Using direct labor hours as the basis for assigning overhoad costs, determine the total production cost per unit for each product line.
b. If the market price for Product A is $28.68 and the market price for Product B is $58, determine the profit or loss per unit for each.
c. Consider the following additional information about these two product lines. If ABC is used for assigning overhead costs to what is the cost per unit for Product A and for Product B?
Answer:
a. Product A $257,830 , Product B $57,086
b. Product A $71,990 , Product B $41,514
c. Hie, for this part of the question there is missing information regarding the Activities for the two Products for each Activity Center.
However the Procedure to deal with the required is explained below :
Step 1 : Determine the Overhead Absorption Rate for Each Activity Center
(We have three Activity Centers: Machine setup, Materials handling: Quality control inspections )
Overhead Absorption Rate = Total Overhead (for each) / Total Number of Activity
Step 2: Absorb the Costs in the products using the Rate for each cost center and the number of activity incurred in each cost center for the two Products
Overhead (Activity Center) = Overhead Absorption Rate× Activity Specific to the Product.
Step 3 : Determine the Total Costs
Total Cost for one Product would include the Total Costs for each Activity Center (which are your overheads) plus the Direct Labor and Direct Material Costs as Calculated in Part b.
Explanation:
Part a
Total Production Cost = Direct Costs + Indirect costs (overheads)
First determine the predetermined rate based on direct labor hours.
Total direct labor hours.
Product A (11,500×0.16) = 1,840
Product B (1.700×0.24) = 408
Total = 2,248
Predetermined rate = total overhead cost / total direct labor hours
= $220,304 / 2,248
= $98 per labor hour
Assigning Overhead Cost
Total Overhead Costs
Product A (1,840×$98) = 180,320
Product B (408×$98) = 39,984
Total = 220,304
Total Costs
Product A Product B
Direct labor cost
Product A ( 1,840×$29) 53,360
Product B (408×$29) 11,832
Direct materials cost
Product A ( 11,500×$2.10) 24,150
Product B (1.700×$3.10) 5,270
Overheads
Product A 180,320
Product B 39,984
Total Costs 257,830 57,086
Part b.
Profit = Selling Price - Expenses
Product A Product B
Sales
Product A ( 11,500×$28.68) 329,820
Product B (1.700×$58) 98,600
Manufacturing Costs (257,830) (57,086)
Profit 71,990 41,514
You plan to borrow money from your grandmother to start a new chocolate candy business. You agree to make one payment of $100,000 at the end of 6 years and negotiate an interest rate of 7%. Your grandmother has offered to reduce either the interest rate or the number of years before the $100,000. Assuming your grandmother will lend you the present value of the final payment and that you want to borrow as much as possible today, which option would you prefer?
Answer:
future payment $100,000 in 6 years
agreed interest rate 7%
the present value of the $100,000:
PV = $100,000 / (1 + 7%)⁶ = $66,634
if your grandmother really likes you and offers to either reduce the interest rate or the number of years, you should choose a reduction in the interest rate:
PV at 6% = $100,000 / (1 + 6%)⁶ = $66,634
PV at 5% = $100,000 / (1 + 5%)⁶ = $74,622
PV at 4% = $100,000 / (1 + 4%)⁶ = $79,031
PV at 3% = $100,000 / (1 + 3%)⁶ = $83,748
PV at 2% = $100,000 / (1 + 2%)⁶ = $88,797
PV at 1% = $100,000 / (1 + 1%)⁶ = $94,205
the less the interest rate, the higher the present value of the $100,000
Juanita is deciding whether to buy a skirt that she wants, as well as where to buy it. Three stores carry the same skirt, but it is more convenient for Juanita to get to some stores than others. For example, she can go to her local store, located 15 minutes away from where she works, and pay a marked-up price of $112 for the skirt:
Store Travel Time Each Way (Minutes) Price of a Skirt (Dollars per skirt)
Local Department Store 15 103
Across Town 30 89
Neighboring City 60 63
Juanita makes $16 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her skirt, so each hour away from work costs her $16 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling.
Complete the following table by computing the opportunity cost of Juanita's time and the total cost of shopping at each location.
Store Opportunity Cost of Time (Dollars) Price of a Skirt (Dollars per skirt) Total Cost (Dollars)
Local Department Store 103
Across Town 89
Neighboring City 63
Assume that Juanita takes opportunity costs and the price of the skirt into consideration when she shops. Juanita will minimize the cost of the skirt if she buys it from the:_______
Answer:
Juanita should purchase the skirt at the neighboring city because the total economic cost will be lowest.
Explanation:
three options:
local store 15 minutes away and a price of $103across town 30 minutes away and a price of $89neighboring city 1 hour away and a price of $63Juanita makes $16 per hour at her work, and her purchase decision includes the opportunity cost of lost wages:
total economic cost:
local store = $103 + [1/4 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] + (1/2 hour x $16) = $119across town = $89 + [1/2 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] + (1/2 hour x $16) = $113neighboring city = $63 + [1 hour x 2 (round trip) x $16] + (1/2 hour x $16) = $103Juanita should purchase the skirt at the neighboring city because the total economic cost will be lowest ($103)
Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs incurred for choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Economic costs include both accounting costs and opportunity costs.
Lucy's Music Emporium opened its doors on January 1, 2015, and it was granted permission to use the same depreciation calculations for shareholder reporting and income tax purposes. The company planned to depreciate its fixed assets over 20 years, but in December 2015 management realized that the assets would last for only 15 years. The firm's accountants plan to report the 2015 financial statements based on this new information. How would the new depreciation assumption affect the company's financial statements
Answer: d. The firm's cash position in 2015 and 2016 would increase.
Explanation:
The financila statements had been calculated with the view that fixed assets would be depreciated over a 20 year period. However, it was discovered that the assest should be depreciated over 15 years instead. This reduction in the period would have the effect for increasing the depreciation payment.
For example, say the asset cost $20,000 and was originally to be depreciated over 20 years using Straight Line Depreciation. This means that the depreciation per year would be,
= [tex]\frac{20,000}{20}[/tex]
= $1,000 a year.
If it was however discovered that it was supposed to be 15 years that figure would go to,
= [tex]\frac{20,000}{15}[/tex]
= $1,333.33 a year
Notice how depreciation increased. Lucy's Music emporium will therefore see their depreciation cost rise. Depreciation is subtracted from revenue as it is tax deductible. When Lucy's Emporium deduct this new depreciation, they will have less profit. They will be taxed on this less profit and so pay a lower tax. This will thus increase their cash holdings because Depreciation is a non cash expense and does not actually require a cash payment.
Taking all parameters into account, what would you expect to be the probability of it costing exactly $15 to produce one kilogram of penicillin? State where/how you found your answer.
Answer:
Worst case = $28 per kilogram
Base case = $16 per kilogram
Best case = $10.50 per kilogram.
Explanation:
Based on the information and data given in slide 37 what i would expect to be the probability of it costing would tend to depend on the worst, base and best case scenarios once all the parameters given are been taken into account.
The unit of production will tend to cost dollar per Kilogram which means that Worst case will be $28 per kilogram ,Base case will be $16 per kilogram and Best case will be $10.50 per kilogram. .

If the price of slices of pie, p2, is $1.00, the price of chocolate candy, p1, is $0.50, and income, Y, is $100, what is Diogo's optimal bundle?The optimal value3 of good q1 isq = units. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)1 The optimal value of good q2 isq2 = units. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Answer:
[tex](0.5 \times 8q_2)+q_2=100\\\\5q_2=100\\\\q_2=20[/tex]
since [tex]q_2 = 20[/tex]
[tex]q_1 = 8*20\\\\q_1=160[/tex]
Explanation:
U(q₁ q₂)
[tex]q_1^{0.8}q_2^{0.2}\\\\P_1= \$0.5 \ P_2=\$1 \ Y=100[/tex]
Budget law can be given by
[tex]P_1q_1+P_2q_2=Y\\\\0.5q_1+q_2=100[/tex]
Lagrangian function can be given by
[tex]L=q_1^{0.8}q_2^{0.2}+ \lambda (100-0.5q_1-q_2)[/tex]
First order condition csn be given by
[tex]\frac{dL}{dq} =0.8q_1^{-0.2}q_2^{0.2}-0.5 \lambda=0\\\\0.5 \lambda=0.8q_1^{-0.2}q_2^{0.2}---(i)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dL}{dq} =0.2q_1^{0.8}q_2^{-0.8}- \lambda=0\\\\ \lambda=0.2q_1^{0.8}q_2^{-0.8}---(ii)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dL}{d \lambda} =100-0.5q_1-q_2=0\\\\0.5q_1+q_2=100---(iii)[/tex]
From eqn (i) and eqn (ii) we have
[tex]\frac{0.5 \lambda}{\lambda} =\frac{0.8q_1^{-0.2}q_2^{0.2}}{0.2q_1^{0.8}q_2^{-0.8}} \\\\0.5=\frac{4q_2}{q_1}\\\\q_1=8q_2}[/tex]
Putting [tex]q_1=8q_2[/tex] in euqtion (iii) we have
[tex](0.5 \times 8q_2)+q_2=100\\\\5q_2=100\\\\q_2=20[/tex]
since [tex]q_2 = 20[/tex]
[tex]q_1 = 8*20\\\\q_1=160[/tex]
How many years would it take for Jughead to save an adequate amount for retirement if he deposits $2,000 per month into an account beginning today that pays 12 percent per year if he wishes to have a total of $1,000,000 at retirement
Answer:
The number of year needed to save the amount = 36.2739
Explanation:
The annual deposit amount (A) = $2000
Annual interest rate (r ) = 12 %
The retirement amount or the expected amount at the time of retirement (FV) = $1000000
Number of years = n
So if the Jughead want the retirement amount $1000000 that has interest rate 12 percent then we need to calculate the number of years.
Below is the calculation of number of years.
[tex]FV = A \frac{(1 + r)^{n}}{r} \\1000000 = 2000 \frac{(1 + 12 \ percent )^{n} - 1}{12 \ percent} \\\frac {1000000}{2000} = \frac{(1 + 12 \ percent )^{n} - 1}{12 \ percent} \\500 = \frac{(1 + 0.12)^{n} - 1}{0.12} \\ n = 36.2739 \ years[/tex]
What advice would you offer an Advisor, Laggard, or Mechanic in their quest to become an Orchestrator? Are there any other dimensions you would choose to classify CIOs by other than "Leadership Capability" and "Decision-Making Authority"? Why?
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Preston, Leidner, and Chen in 2008 discuss four CIO leadership profiles: Orchestrator, Advisor, Laggard, and Mechanic. What advice would you offer an Advisor, Laggard, or Mechanic in their quest to become an orchestrator?
Are there any other dimensions you would choose to classify CIOs by other than "Leadership Capability" and "Decision-Making Authority"? Why?
IT Advisor:
This is a high leadership making authority. In every team, there is division of labor and as an Advisor, one may be called upon to lead the time or give opinions on certain issues. Therefore, IT Advisor should learn how to convince people to accept his or her opinion. Gaining more trust will help in increasing the decision making of the person and more people will believe in his judgement.
IT Laggard:
This is a low leadership capability and a high decision making authority. Also, they need to get the much needed trust from their team members and also within the organization. It should be noted that they are capable and professional people. In order to enhance the more practical aspects of the integration, they should discuss more on the specific implementation methods to their teams and also convince the members and gain their trust.
IT Mechanic:
This is a low leadership capability and low decision making authority. I believe the most vital step for IT mechanic is for the person to strengthen their professional ability. When the person has the required professional capacity, then the person can lead the team to achieve its goal and also make better decision. This will make the IT Mechanics respected, increase his expertise and also gain team members trust.
I believe that apart from "leadership capability" and the "decision-making authority," a company can also use professional capabilities to classify CIOs. The possession of professional ability by the CIOs, can help them in making better decisions which will be of immense benefit to the company.
MFG Manufacturing sells a product for $40 per unit. The production cost of the product is $21 per unit: direct materials of $8, direct labor of $7, variable overhead of $4 and fixed overhead of $2. The fixed overhead per unit comes from dividing $500,000 of fixed factory overhead by 250,000 units produced. In addition, MFG pays $3 for shipping each unit sold. Finally, MFG has fixed costs outside the factory (such as office building depreciation and salaries) that total $200,000 per year. Assuming breakeven in units was correctly computed to be 20,000 units, breakeven in dollars is:
Answer:
Break-even sales =$800,000
Explanation:
The break-even sales is the amount of revenue that a business must generate that would equate its total costs to total revenue. At the break even sales, the contribution is exactly to total iced cost, and the business makes no profit or loss
Break-even (units) = Total general fixed cost /(selling price- variable cost)
Break-even sales = Break-even (in units) × Selling price
Break-even sales = 20,000 × $40 =$800,000
Break-even sales=$800,000
