Since Skyrim corp has limited resources to launch its new helicopter for national and international distribution, the best option will be to develop a planned rollout that will be implemented at different times in the future.
For example they can start locally to distribute their helicopters. Then as capital and capacity increases they can go statewide, regional, and then national.
A timetable for planned expansion should be set up. For example achievement of national distribution in one year.
Mentor Corp. has provided the following information for the current year: Units produced 3,500 units Sale price $ 200 per unit Direct materials $ 70 per unit Direct labor $ 55 per unit Variable manufacturing overhead $ 20 per unit Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 350,000 per year Variable selling and administrative costs $ 30 per unit Fixed selling and administrative costs $ 150,000 per year Calculate the unit product cost using variable costing. Group of answer choices
Answer:
Calculation of the unit product cost using variable costing
Direct materials 70
Direct labor 55
Variable Manufacturing Overhead 20
Product Cost 145
Therefore unit product cost is $145
Explanation:
It is important for this question to note that only Manufacturing Costs are included in calculation of product cost.
Non- Manufacturing costs are written off in Profit and loss account as period costs
Variable Costing
Variable costing system only allocates variable manufacturing costs to products to arrive at product cost.
Fixed manufacturing overheads are not included in product cost under this system and they are written off to the profit and loss account as a period cost.
Suppose that a country experiences growth strongly biased toward its export, cloth, Group of answer choices this will tend to improve the country's terms of trade. this will tend to worsen the terms of trade for the country's trading partner. this will tend to worsen the country's terms of trade. this will increase the price of cloth relative to the imported good. this will tend to leave the country's terms of trade unchanged.
Answer:
this will tend to worsen the country's terms of trade.
Explanation:
We can imagine a country C whose main export is cloth. Currently country C is gaining from its trade because its opportunity cost of producing cloth is very low.
Since the country's economy is growing strongly because its cloth exports re growing, this will appreciate the country's currency. As the country's currency appreciates, is domestic cost of producing cloth will get closer to the world price of cloth.
This will result in an increase in the cost of exports and a decrease in the price of imports, which will end up hurting the country's economy and it will weaken its trade position.
Something similar happens to countries that rely heavily on exporting commodities. The country's economy grows, but the other industries suffer and eventually the cost of producing commodities increases, and the benefits gained from exports decrease. E.g. during several years Argentina's economy grew strongly solely based on exporting agricultural products. Soon inflation started to rise and the costs of producing agricultural products increased, lowering the gains of trade. Since the rest of the economy relied on the benefits generated by exporting soybean oil, corn and other byproducts, when those benefits decreased, the whole economy collapsed. It was like a giant exporting bubble.
Growth biased toward a country's cloth export can lead to improved terms of trade if international demand increases sufficiently due to the cheaper export prices. The correct answer is E. This will tend to leave the country's terms of trade unchanged.
When a country experiences growth strongly biased toward its export, in this case, cloth, several outcomes are possible in terms of international trade dynamics and terms of trade effects. If the improvement in the country's cloth production leads to a significant price drop, the demand in the international market may increase, resulting in a rise of the country's terms of trade, which is the price of its exports relative to imports.
Should the demand increase in greater proportion to the decrease in price, the country may see a more favorable balance as it earns more from cloth exports, raising domestic prices, including cloth. Conversely, if the demand does not increase proportionally with the cheapening of cloth, the country might face a deficit in its balance of trade, leading to money outflow and reduced prices, including that of cloth.
Therefore, if the country's growth in cloth production leads to an improvement in its terms of trade, this would imply that exports are more valuable relative to imports, allowing the country to purchase more imported goods for a given amount of exports. Whether or not the trade terms for the country's trading partner worsen depends on the relative changes in mutual demand and price ratios.
Ultimately, focusing on export growth can lead to improved terms of trade for the exporting country if the global demand rises sufficiently in response to lower export prices. It could also cause a rise in the price of cloth relative to the imported good or leave the terms of trade unchanged if there is no significant change in the demand.
Question:
"Suppose that a country experiences growth strongly biased toward its exports, specifically cloth. Which of the following statements is most likely true?
This will tend to improve the country's terms of trade.
This will tend to worsen the terms of trade for the country's trading partner.
This will tend to worsen the country's terms of trade.
This will increase the price of cloth relative to the imported good.
This will tend to leave the country's terms of trade unchanged."
Operating conditions can be adjusted to be carburizing, oxidizing, or neutral Group of answer choices Plasma Arc Welding (PAW) Oxyacetylene Welding (OAW) Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) Electron Beam Welding (EBW) Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) Laser Welding (LBW)
Answer:
The correct answer is Oxyacetylene Welding (OAW).
Explanation:
Oxyacetylene welding is a type of autogenous welding. It can be carried out as a homogeneous welding, due to the fusion of pieces, either with or without material contribution depending on whether or not the contribution material is of the same type as the base; or without material contribution as autogenous welding.
Answer: Oxygen Fuel welding is the answer and the correct abbreviation is OFW. This is because the acetylene in oxygen acetylene welding releases carbon and without the oxygen to burn it it just creates lil black speckles that float around.

Gammy Corporation provides services with a normal price of $800,000 and a trade discount of $100,000. Terms are 2/10, n/30 and the customers pay within 10 days. The net service revenue is:______.
Answer:
The net service revenue amounts to $686,000
Explanation:
The formula to compute the net service revenue is as:
Net Service Revenue = (Price - Trade discount) - Discount of 2%
where
Price is $800,000
Trade discount is $100,000
And the discount of 2%
Therefore,
NSR = ($800,000 - $100,000) -Discount of 2%
= $700,000 - 2% 0f $700,000
= $700,000 - $14,000
= $686,000
NOTE: The customer paid within 10 days so the customer is allowed for 2% discount on the amount.
Firms will hire additional workers as long as the nominal wage: A. is less than the marginal product of labor. B. equals the marginal product of labor. C. is greater than the marginal product of labor. D. is less than the value of the marginal product of labor.
Answer:
D) is less than the value of the marginal product of labor.
Explanation:
As an economic principle, firms will maximize their profits when the marginal revenue they receive for selling a good or service equals the marginal costs of producing and selling that good or service.
The marginal product of labor equals the change in total output gained from adding one extra unit of labor. It basically measures how much value is added by each additional unit of labor. So a firm will hire additional workers as long as the revenue generated from their work is higher than their wage.

As a Pacific Rim expert, I will tell Chuck Aggressive salesmanship is unlikely to work in Pacific Rim countries.
Explanation:
Aggressive sales tactics are getting a bad rap.
Slovenian, greedy, pushy vendor myth is often blamed on you. It is clear that certain sales representatives have undoubtedly overloaded the company in the past with aggressive marketing tactics, but this does not mean these closing techniques should be shunned permanently.
Currently, in 21st century marketing there is always a space for them. You just have to learn where and when to use them. You must remember that in all circumstances they are not ideal, but in the right context, they could be useful to the right buyer. You will certainly compound your selling advantage if you are in a hurry to sell and use these strategies at the wrong time, or on a wrong decision-maker.
What is the percentage of improvement for a client who has a baseline 10RM of 50 lb (22.7 kg) on the bench press and improves to 65 lb (29.5 kg) at her follow-up test session 3 months later
Answer:
30%
Explanation:
What is the percentage of improvement for a client who has a baseline 10RM of 50 lb (22.7 kg) on the bench press and improves to 65 lb (29.5 kg) at her follow-up test session 3 months later.
Percentage improvement is given by the following steps:
First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. % increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100.
Therefore percentage improvement = [(65 lb - 50 lb) / 50 lb] x 100 = 30%

If a firm's variable cost per unit estimate used in its base case analysis is $50 per unit and they anticipate the upper and lower bounds to be /- 10%, What is the "worst case" for variable cost per unit
Answer:
$55
Explanation:
Variable cost of production is the portion of production cost that varies with production amount. In addition to fixed cost it gives total cost of production.
Since there is a +-10% boundary for variable cost. The worst case in terms of high variable cost is 100%+10%= 110%
So worst price = 1.10* 50= $55
On the other hand best case scenario is 100-10= 90%
Best price= 0.9* 50= $45
A company owns land that is used as a softball diamond and recreational park for hosting employee picnics. Once a year the company also allows a non-profit organization to hold a softball game on these premises. During this year's softball game, the director of the non-profit was injured when a softball hit him in the head. He asked the company that owns the land to pay for his trip to the emergency room. What is the company's unendorsed Commercial General Liability policy?
Answer:
Commercial General Liability Policy will not provide compensation for injured caused by softball to the Director
Explanation:
Commercial General Liability (CGL) is an insurance policy that provide protection and assurance to a business organisation against any legal liability arising from the use of its property, while in the premises of the insured, from use of product.
The Commercial General Liability provides the coverage below:
-Liability arising from Bodily injury and property damage
-Liability arising from Personal and advertising injury and Medical payments
In this director scenario, the CGL have in its provision and condition to provide compensation for the injury caused as a result of their actions (e.g. building collapse, left broken bottles, bad product which directly affected third party) but the director was injured by his own accompanied property and have no relation whatsoever with the Land company. Hence no indemnity or compensation will be provided under the Commercial General Liability Policy.
An externality is internalized if a. the person(s) or group that generated the externality incorporate into their own private cost-benefit calculations the external benefits (in the case of a positive externality) or the external costs (in the case of a negative externality) that third parties bear. b. people are made aware of it and realize that social benefits are less than private benefits (in the case of a positive externality) and that social costs are less than private costs (in the case of a negative externality). c. the person(s) or group that generated the externality do not incorporate into their own private cost-benefit calculations the external benefits (in the case of a positive externality) or the external costs (in the case of a negative externality) that third parties bear. d. b and c e. none of the above
An externality is internalized (a) if the person(s) or group that generated the externality incorporate into their own private cost-benefit calculations the external benefits (in the case of a positive externality) or the external costs (in the case of a negative externality) that third parties bear.
Explanation:
Internalizing the externality means transferring the burden or the cost of a negative externality (like pollution or traffic congestion) to inside(i.e external to internal).
Internalization of externality can be done through taxes, property rights, tolls, and government subsidies.The only way of correcting an externalities is to "internalize" the third party cost involved but this market -driven approach is not feasible if the true monetary values cannot be determined.
An externality is internalized if the person(s) or group that generated the externality incorporate into their own private cost-benefit calculations the external benefits (in the case of a positive externality) or the external costs (in the case of a negative externality) that third parties bear.

Jim is able to sell a hand-carved statue for $50. The sale price reflected a 50% profit over the cost of the raw materials. How much did the raw materials cost him
Answer:
$33.33
Explanation:
We need to get the cost price of the materials as indicated by the question.
% profit = (selling price - cost price)/cost price * 100%
Let the cost price be $x
50 = (50 - x)/x * 100
50x = 100(50 - x)
50x = 5000 - 100x
150x = 5000
x = 5000/150
x = $33.33

Goodwill recovery differs between GAAP and tax rules in that GAAP requires corporations to (amortize/impair) goodwill whereas tax law requires corporations to (amortize/impair) goodwill. True or false?
Answer:
Impair and Amortize respectively.
Explanation:
Goodwill is the excess of purchase price over the fair market value of a company’s net assets.
A challenge of goodwill accounting is that it's treated differently under tax accounting and another under GAAP accounting.
Any goodwill created in an acquisition structured as an asset sales is tax deductible and amortizable over 15 years along with other intangible assets that fall under IRC section 197.
Under GAAP accounting, goodwill is not amortized but rather tested annually for impairment regardless of whether the acquisition is an asset/338 or stock sale.

It is appropriate to use the fixed assets turnover ratio to appraise firms' effectiveness in managing their fixed assets if and only all the firms being compared have the same proportion of fixed assets to total assets.a) trueb) false
Answer:
False
Explanation:
fixed assets turnover ratio = net sales / average fixed assets
This ration measures how effectively a company uses its fixed assets to generate sales. If a company's fixed assets turnover ratio is higher than the industry average, it means that it is using its assets more efficiently to generate more sales or it is working at an over capacity, and it needs to add more fixed assets.
