Marketing information management refers to the practice of gathering, collecting, and evaluating critical market research data.

What is the function of marketing research?

Marketing research helps marketing management by offering decision-relevant data. Marketing research does not make decisions, and it does not ensure results. Marketing research, on the other hand, aids in reducing the uncertainty around upcoming decisions.

Thus, the examples which demonstrate marketing information are options C, E, and F.

Consider the economy of Citronia, where citizens consume only oranges. Assume that oranges cost $1 each, and each person can buy at most 5,000 oranges. The government has devised the following tax plans:

Plan A Plan B
Consumption up to 1,000 oranges is taxed at 20%. Consumption up to 2,000 oranges is taxed at 30%.
Consumption higher than 1,000 oranges is taxed at 80%. Consumption higher than 2,000 oranges is taxed at 10%.

Required:
Derive the marginal and average tax rates under each tax plan at the consumption levels of 500 oranges.

Answers

Explanation:

We are to find marginal tax and average tax rate at a consumption level of 500 oranges for plan A and plan B

Plan A

Consumption level = 500 oranges

Tax = 20%

Tax payable on this = 500 x 20% = 500 x 0.2 = 100

Marginal tax rate = 20 %

Average tax return = 100/500 = 0.2x100 = 20%

Plan B

At tax rate = 30%

Same consumption level

Tax payable = 500 x 30% = 500 x 0.3 = 150

Marginal tax rate = 30%

Average tax rate = 150/500 = 0.3 x 100 = 30%

b. Determine the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total direct labor cost variance.
c. Determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance, fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance.

Answers

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

a.

In part a, we need to find the following 3 requirements:

1. Direct Materials Price Variance

2. Direct Materials Quantity Variance

3. Total Direct Materials Cost Variance

Direct Materials Price Variance:

It can be calculated by using the following formula:

DMPV = AQ multiplied by (AP minus the SP)

Where,  

DMPV = Direct Materials Price Variance

AQ = Actual Quantity

AP = Actual Price

SP = Standard Price

We do have all the data, so just plug in the values into the above equation to get the DMPV.

AQ = 101,000

AP  = 6.50 USD

SP = 6.40 USD

So,

DMPV = 101,000 ( 6.50 - 6.40)

DMPV = 10,100 USD

Direct Materials Quantity Variance:

DMQV = SP ( AQ - SQ )

Where,

DMQV = Direct Materials Quantity Variance = ?

SP  = Standard Price  = 6.40 USD

AQ = Actual Quantity  = 101,000

SQ = Standard Quantity  = 100,000

Plugging in the values:

DMQV  = 6.40  ( 101,000 - 100,000)

DMQV = 6400 USD

Total Direct Materials Cost Variance:

DMCV = SMC - AMC

Where,

DMCV =  Direct Materials Cost Variance = ?

SMC = Standard Market Cost = 6.40 USD x 100,000

AMC = Actual market Cost = 6.50 USD x 101,000

DMCV = (6.40 USD x 100,000) - (6.50 USD x 101,000)

DMCV = 640,000 - 656,500

DMCV =  16,500 USD

b.

For part b, we need following particulars:

1. Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV)

2. Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV)

3. Direct Labor Cost Variance  (DLCV)

Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV) :

DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH

Where,

ADLR  = Actual Direct Labor Rate = 15.40 USD

SDLR = Standard Direct Labor Rate = 15.75 USD

ADLH = Actual Direct Labor Hour = 2000

So,

DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH

DLRV =  (15.40 USD  - 15.75 USD  ) x 2000

DLRV = 700 USD

Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV):

DLTV = ( ADLH - SDLH ) x SDLR

SDLH = Standard Direct Labor Hour = 2080

DLTV = ( 2000  - 2080 ) x 15.75 USD  

DLTV = 1260 USD

Direct Labor Cost Variance  (DLCV)

DLCV = SDLC - ADLC

SDLC = Standard Direct Labor Cost  

ADLC = Actual Direct Labor Cost

DLCV =  (1540 x 2000) - (15.75 x 2080)

DLCV = 1960 USD

c.

For Part c, we need following:

1. variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV)

2. fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV)

3. Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV)

variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV):

VFOCV =  AFO - B

Where,

AFO = Actual Factory Overhead  = 8200

B = Budgeted Allowance Based on Standard Hours Allowed = 4160x0.5x4

B = 8320 USD

VFOCV =  8200 - 8320  

VFOCV =   120 USD

fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV) :

FFOVV = (S - BH ) x SOR

Where,

S = Standard Hours for actual output = 4160 x 0.5

BH = Budgeted Hours = 2080

SOR = Standard Overhead Rate = 6 USD

FFOVV = (4160 x 0.5  - 2080) x 6

FFOVV =  0 USD

Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV):

TFOCV = AFO - SO

Where,

AFO = Actual Factory Overhead = 20,200

SO = Standard Overhead = 2080 x 10

TFOCV =  20,200 - ( 2080 x 10  )

TFOCV =  600 USD

Answers

Answer:

The cost assigned to ending Work in Process explanations only.

Explanation:

Hi your question is incomplete, I tried to look for it online but I could not find it.

Here are some explanations and steps you need to consider to answer this question.

The cost assigned to ending Work in Process :

Ending Work in Process usually have different number of equivalent units of production with respect to materials and conversion cost depending on the percentage of work completed for materials and conversion during the production process.

Step 1

So the first step is to calculate the equivalent units of production of  Ending Ending work in process for Materials and Conversion costs.

Equivalent units of production = Physical units x Percentage completion (Materials / Conversion).

Step 2

The next step would be to calculate the cost assigned to ending Work in Process.

Equivalent units in materials are multiplied against Cost per Equivalent Unit) EUP for materials ($1.75 ) so is the Equivalent units in conversion costs against Cost per Equivalent Unit) EUP for conversion ($1.75). The total of the two amounts is the cost assigned to ending Work in Process.

Answers

Answer:

differences in a product's price do not reflect differences in costs of production.

Explanation:

Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services.

In sales and marketing, pricing of products is considered to be an essential element of a business firm's marketing mix because place, promotion and product largely depends on it.

One of the importance associated with the pricing of products is that, it improves the image of a business firm.

Price discrimination refers to the situation in which a business firm sells an identical product to different consumers at different selling price based on reasons that are not in any way associated or related with its manufacturing cost.

This ultimately implies that, price discrimination occurs when differences in a product's price do not reflect differences in costs of production.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Difference in selling price= 81 - 57= $24

Number of units= 8,100

Increase in costs= $162,000

To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:

Effect on income= Increase in revenue - increase in costs

Effect on income= 24*8,100 - 162,000

Effect on income= $32,400 increase

Actual usage for the year by the Flashlight Division was 1400 hours and by the Night Light Division was 600 hours. If a single-rate cost-allocation method is used, what amount of operating costs will be allocated to the Night Light Division

Answers

Answer:

Allocated operating costs= $576,000

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined operating costs allocation rate:

Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= total estimated operating costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= (480,000 / 3,000) + 800

Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= $960 per hour

Now, we can allocate overhead to Night Light Division:

Allocated operating costs= Predetermined operating costs allocation rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated operating costs= 960*600

Allocated operating costs= $576,000

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory and cost of goods sold using FIFO method as follows:

Given that

Total goods available for sale = 1000

Units sold = 650

Based on the above information

The Ending inventory  is

= 1000 - 650

= 350

Now 350 units comprise of 270 units of April 23 and the remaining 80 units would be of April 15

SO,

Ending inventory value is

= 270 × 44 + 80 × 41

= $15,160

ANd,

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory

= $39,640 - $15,160

= $24,480

Select the true statement about default risk. It is the risk that the bond's price will fall below its par value. Bondholders have a degree of legal protection against default risk, but it is not comprehensive. Default risk relates to a bond's periodic coupon payments, but not to its maturity payment. Bondholders are guaranteed to be repaid in full if a company enters bankruptcy.

Answers

Answer:

Bondholders have a degree of legal protection against default risk, but it is not comprehensive.

Explanation:

A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.

The par value of a bond is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a bond gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid. Thus, a bond is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a bond would be issued at par (face) value when the bond's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.

In Economics, bonds could either be issued at discount or premium. A bond that is being issued at a discount has its stated rate lower than the market interest rate, on the specific date of issuance while a bond that is issued at a premium, has its stated rate higher than the market interest rate on the specific date of issuance.

Default risk in bonds refer to the risk that a bond issuer (borrower) is unable to pay the principal or interest agreed upon in the contract with the bondholder (lender) in a timely manner.

Hence, the true statement about default risk is that bondholders have a degree of legal protection against default risk, but it is not comprehensive.

The true statement about default risk is: Bondholders have a degree of legal protection against default risk, but it is not comprehensive, Hence option B is correct.

Default risk refers to the risk that a borrower, such as a company or government, will be unable to meet its financial obligations, including the payment of interest and the repayment of principal on a bond.

While bondholders may have some legal protections in place, such as collateral or contractual agreements, these protections are not always comprehensive and may vary depending on the specific bond and its terms.

Therefore, bondholders face the risk of potential default, even though they may have some level of legal protection.

c. How much would income from operations increase if same-store sales increased by $500 million for the coming year, with no change in the contribution margin ratio or fixed costs? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a million (one decimal place).

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Variable food and packaging = $6,129.7

Variable payroll = $4,756.0

Variable general, selling and administrative expenses = 40% × $2,487.9 = $995.16

Fixed general, selling and administrative expenses = 60% × $2,487.9 = $1,492.74

Fixed occupancy = $4,402.6

Total fixed cost = $1,492.84 + $4,402.6 = $5,895.34

Total variable cost = Variable food and packaging + Variable payroll + Variable general, selling and administrative expenses

= $6,129.7 + $4,756 + $995.16

= $11,880.86

a. McDonald's contribution margin

= Sales - Variable cost

= $18,169.3 - $11,880.86

= $6,288.44

b. McDonald's contribution margin

= Contribution margin / Sales

= $6,288.44 / $18,169.3

= 34.61%

c. Increase in operating income

= $500 million × 34.71

= $173,050,000

At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 11,100 hours and the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $270,425. Overhead at the end of the year was:

Answers

Answer: $4580 Underapplied

Explanation:

To solve this, we have to calculate the predetermined overhead rate first and this will be:

= Estimated total manufacturing overhead / Estimated total amount of the allocation base

= $275,425 / 11500

= 23.95

Since the actual direct labor-hours for the year were 11,100 hours, the applied overhead will be:

= 11100 × 23.95

= $265845

Since actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $270,425, and the applied overhead was $265845, there's an Underapplied overhead of ($270,425 - $265845) = $4580

In late 2020, the Nicklaus Corporation was formed. The corporate charter authorizes the issuance of 6,000,000 shares of common stock carrying a $1 par value, and 2,000,000 shares of $5 par value, noncumulative, nonparticipating preferred stock. On January 2, 2021, 4,000,000 shares of the common stock are issued in exchange for cash at an average price of $10 per share. Also on January 2, all 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock are issued at $20 per share.

Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions.
2. Prepare the shareholders' equity section of the Nicklaus balance sheet as of March 31, 2021. (Assume net income for the first quarter 2021 was $1,750,000.)

Part B
During 2021, the Nicklaus Corporation participated in three treasury stock transactions:

On June 30, 2021, the corporation reacquires 250,000 shares for the treasury at a price of $12 per share.
On July 31, 2021, 25,000 treasury shares are reissued at $15 per share.
On September 30, 2021, 25,000 treasury shares are reissued at $10 per share.

Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions.
2. Prepare the Nicklaus Corporation shareholders' equity section as it would appear in a balance sheet prepared at September 30, 2021. (Assume net income for the second and third quarter was $3,250,000.)

Part C
On October 1, 2021, Nicklaus Corporation receives permission to replace its $1 par value common stock (6,000,000 shares authorized, 4,000,000 shares issued, and 3,800,000 shares outstanding) with a new common stock issue having a $0.50 par value. Since the new par value is one-half the amount of the old, this represents a 2-for-1 stock split. That is, the shareholders will receive two shares of the $0.50 par stock in exchange for each share of the $1 par stock they own. The $1 par stock will be collected and destroyed by the issuing corporation.

On November 1, 2021, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a $0.18 per share cash dividend on common stock and a $0.35 per share cash dividend on preferred stock. Payment is scheduled for December 1, 2021, to shareholders of record on November 15, 2021.

On December 2, 2021, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a 1% stock dividend payable on December 28, 2021, to shareholders of record on December 14. At the date of declaration, the common stock was selling in the open market at $10 per share. The dividend will result in 76,000 (0.01 Ã 7,600,000) additional shares being issued to shareholders.

Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record the declaration and payment of these stock and cash dividends.
2. Prepare the December 31, 2021, shareholders' equity section of the balance sheet for the Nicklaus Corporation. (Assume net income for the fourth quarter was $2,750,000.)
3. Prepare a statement of shareholders' equity for Nicklaus Corporation for 2021.

Ace Leasing acquires equipment and leases it to customers under long-term sales-type leases. Ace earns interest under these arrangements at a 6% annual rate. Ace leased a machine it purchased for $790,000 under an arrangement that specified annual payments beginning at the commencement of the lease for five years. The lessee had the option to purchase the machine at the end of the lease term for $200,000 when it was expected to have a residual value of $350,000. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Calculate the amount of the annual lease payments. (Enter amounts as positive values rounded to the nearest whole dollar.)

Answers

Answer:

$143,750

Explanation:

We have to first calculate the present value of the bargain purchase option:

PV = $200,000 / (1 + 6%)⁵ = $149,451.63

net lease amount = $790,000 - $149,452 = $640,548

PVIF Annuity due, 6%, 5 payments = 4.546

Annual payment = $640,548 / 4.456 = $143,750

Your family business produces a secret recipe salsa and distributes it through both smaller specialty stores and chain supermarkets. The chains have been demanding sizable discounts but you do not want to drop your prices to the specialty stores. When can you legally accommodate the chains without losing profits from the specialty stores

Answers

Answer:

We can make the chain supermarkets buy goods in bulk.

Explanation:

In the given scenario the chain supermarkets have been demanding heavy discounts on goods that you are selling to them.

Also you do not want the eventual price to the speciality stores to drop.

The solution will be to sell products in bulk to the chain supermarkets. This will meet their demand for larger discounts as price per unit of product will be lower with bulk purchase.

Then the speciality stores can still buy in small quantities for higher price.

This will accommodate the requirements from both stores.

Swifty Company's financial information is presented below. Sales Revenue $ p?Cost of Goods Sold 536000 Sales Returns and Allowances 37000 Gross Profit p?Net Sales 868000 The missing amounts above are: Sales Revenue Gross Profit a. $905000 $332,000 b. $832,000 $332,000 c. $ 905,000 $416,000 d. $832,000 $416,000

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

The gross profit is calculated by deducting from net sales the cost of goods sold:

Gross profit= net sales - COGS

Gross profit= 868,000 - 536,000

Gross profit= $332,000

Now, the sales revenues are the sales before returns and allowances. Therefore, we need to add them to the net sales:

Sales revenue= 868,000 + 37,000

Sales revenues= $905,000

Hane Corporation uses the following activity rates from its activity-based costing to assign overhead costs to products: Activity Cost Pool Activity Rate Assembling products $ 8.90 per assembly hour Processing customer orders $ 31.23 per customer order Setting up batches $ 43.72 per batch Data for one of the company's products follow: Product U94W Number of assembly hours 389 Number of customer orders 53 Number of batches 61 How much overhead cost would be assigned to Product U94W using the activity-based costing system

Answers

Answer:

Total allocated costs= $7,784.21

Explanation:

To allocate overhead to Product U94W, we need to use the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Assembling products=  8.90*389= $3,462.1

Processing customer orders= 31.23*53= $1,655.19

Setting up batches= 43.72*61= $2,666.92

Total allocated costs= $7,784.21

This is __________.

Answers

One of the themes that came out of the survey responses is that employees take their responsibility of serving fresh, hot food quickly and helping customers find menu items that they will like very seriously. But most of the time, employees do not feel like the work they do is very important. According to the job characteristics theory, which of the following should you do to address this issue?
A. Improve employees' growth need strength.
B. Improve feedback.
C. Improve skill variety.
D. Improve task significance.
C. After carefully considering the most recent employee survey results, you decide that the core issue that you need to address to improve employee motivation is that employees do not seem to know how they are doing relative to what is expected of them. Knowing this, which critical psychological state will you be most targeting in your job redesign initiative?
A. Experienced responsibility for outcomes of the work.
B. Growth need strength.
C. Knowledge of the actual results of work activities.
D. Experienced meaningfulness of the work.

Answers

Answer:

D. Improve task significance.

C. Knowledge of the actual results of work activities.

Explanation:

1. In order to address this issue you should focus on improving task significance. Doing so will increase employee motivation as they will begin actually seeing that their work is important. Being able to visualize the consequences that your work has on others or in general is incredibly motivating in a work environment as it provides purpose to the otherwise mundane tasks.

2. In this case, you would need to target a redesign of Knowledge of the actual results of work activities. Employees need to be able to visualize or atleast hear feedback of how they are performing. This feedback will allow them to adjust their actions/performance and improve upon it. Without this feedback there is no way for the employees to improve as they have no baseline of what is exceptional behavior if they do not have data or an example to compare their performance to.
