Answer: b. $40
Explanation:
A firm maximises its profits where Marginal Revenue equals marginal cost.
Marginal revenue is the additional revenue gained by selling one more unit of production.
At 40 units, the marginal revenue is equal to;
= Total revenue at 40 units - total revenue at 30 units
= ( 7 * 40) - ( 8 * 30)
= 280 - 240
= $40
At 40 units the marginal cost is;
= total cost at 40 units - total cost at 30 units
= 170 - 130
= $40
MR=MC which is $40.

Describe how the main financial documents of Goodwill are difference to those companies that are ""for profit"".
Answer with Explanation:
Requirement 1:1. Profit Organization
The aim of profit organization is to maximize the wealth of shareholders by increasing its profits. The owners of the company get dividends and appreciation in the value as a return from the company.
2. Nonprofit Organization
The primary mission of Non-profit organization is to benefit the community by helping them and the earnings generation is not the primary goal of the company. ACCA is an entity that delivers quality education to its students and also earns profit on it but the profit margin kept is as low as possible to keep its operation running. Other examples are Rolex, NGO's, National Health Institutes, etc.
In other words, these institutes are for charitable purpose and their primary objective is not making profits.
Key Difference Between Profit Organization and Non-profit Organization
A profit organization's primary objective is to maximize profits whereas the Non profit organizations work for delivering services and products that helps in uplifting the society from their donations.A profit organization is registered as a sole proprietorship or partnership or a corporation. Whereas Non profit organization is registered as a charity club, association of person, trust, corporations, etc.Usually major source of income of Non profit organization comes from donations, government and corporation grants, subscriptions, etc. Whereas the major source of profit organization is income generated from the sale of goods and services. Non profit organization - the major incomes are donation, grant, legacies, subscription, etc.Requirement 2:
Profit making organization have to publish all financial statements which includes income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity, etc whereas the non profit organization only publishes balance sheet and cash flow statement. If the Non profit organization is involved in selling of products and services then the organization will also have to prepare income statement.
The non profit organization doesn't pays andy dividends as it is a charity firm and all it does is, it spends it money for the welfare of the community. Whereas the profit organization have to retain a share of earned profits and then distributes the remainder to shareholders.
The profit making organization publishes changes in equity statement whereas the charitable firm is not required to publish such things because its primary objective is to spend on the welfare of the community.
An international corporation located in Country A is considering a project in the United States. The currency in Country A, say X, has been strengthening relative to the U.S. dollar; specifically, the average devaluation of the U.S. dollar has been % per year (which is projected to continue). Assume the present exchange rate is units of X per U.S. dollar. a. What is the estimated exchange rate two years from now? b. If, instead, currency X was devaluing at the same rate (% per year) relative to the U.S. dollar, what would be the exchange rate three years from now?
Answer:
a) the US dollar would devaluate by 2.6% in the first year, that means that the exchange rate between X and the US dollar will change from 6.4X per US dollar to 6.2336X per dollar. In two years, as the US dollar devaluates even more, the exchange rate will be 6.0715X per US dollar.
b) if both currencies devaluate at the same rate, then the exchange rate between them will not vary and will still be 6.4X per US dollar.
Explanation:
some information was missing, so I looked it up:
current exchange rate = 6.4X per US dollar
devaluation rate of US dollar = 2.6% per year
Which of the following demonstrates a way that an organization can maximize profits?
a. Decreasing the quality of care
b. Reducing the cost of delivering care
c. Reducing the costs charged for services
d. All of the above
Answer:
b. Reducing the cost of delivering care
Explanation:
Not a lot of information is included, but some things apply to all types of businesses:
you can maximize profits by minimizing costs (this is a valid option).you cannot maximize your profits by lowering the quality of your products or services, since that will result in lost customers.reducing the costs charged for services will increase your profits only if it results in a larger increase in the quantity demanded, so this doesn't always apply.Location Score

Suppose Cho is considering emigrating from her home country.A fictional country of Flaxon has the same policies and institutions as Cho's home country, except that it has greater price stability. If Cho's decision to emigrate is based solely on the prospects for economic growth, she would
Answer: Migrate to Flaxon
Explanation:
If Flaxon country has the same policies and institutions as Cho's home country but also has greater price stability, Cho would emigrate if she wanted more economic growth because Price stability contributes to the growth of the economy.
Price stability means that the country is not going to experience inflation (deflation) that is too high (low) and lasts too long as well as one that is erratic.
This benefits the economy because;
Savings will not be easily eroded by inflation.Decisions can be made easier as inflation rates can be better predictable. For instance, people can save or invest at a particular rate that they know will bring them real return as it will be over the inflation rate. Unexpected deflation will not cause companies to make losses which can increase unemployment and company shutdowns and,Financial institutions can borrow out loans at more stable rates for investments because in a less stable market they would have to charge higher rates to ensure that they do not make losses should inflation change. These stable rates will attract companies and individuals who will use the funds for investment and improve the economy.Suppose the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, has approached World Wide Cards with a special order.

Group of answer choices.
A. Offshoring
B. Centralized work surveillance.
C. Outsourcing.
D. Telecommuting.
Answer:
Outsourcing.
Explanation:
When a small distribution organization uses a payroll company to provide employee compensation services and keep timesheet records and employee attendance history. This situation is an example of outsourcing.
Outsourcing can be defined as a contractual agreement in which a company contracts another firm (third-party) to be responsible for providing certain job functions, tasks or services rather than use employees or departments within the company.
In this scenario, the outsourcing firm or company is saddled with the responsibility of providing employees compensation services, keep timesheet records, and manage the attendance history of employees working at the outsourced distribution organization.

Oil Dawg, an oil tanker company, shipped oil to coasts all over the US. During many deliveries, the crew was dumping waste into the ocean. To conceal this, the crew falsified entries into the record book and lied to the Coast Guard about waste disposal. Top executives in the company were unaware this was happening. A jury convicted Oil Dawg of conspiracy, pollution, and obstruction of justice and the company was fined $4.9 Million. Oil Dawg appealed. Should Oil Dawg be found criminally liable for the illegal actions of its lower-level employees under the doctrine of respondeat superior? Why or Why not?
Answer:
The doctrine of respondeat superior is generally applied to torts and is used by civil courts, but can also include criminal activities. In this case, the main issue is the fine imposed on Oil Dawg, so yes, this doctrine applies.
Respondeat superior basically makes the principal (the employer in this case) legally responsible for unlawful or negligent acts committed by its agents (employees in this case). This doctrine applies as long as the illegal acts were committed within the scope of the normal employment, e.g. crashing a van while making a delivery. In this case, the illegal polluting was carried out while transporting oil to the US.
The only possible defense that Oil Dawg might have is that the people that committed the illegal polluting were independent contractors and they weren't actual employees of the company. But according to the text given, that is not the case.
This doesn't mean that only the employer will be go to trial, the employees that committed the illegal polluting will also go to trial since they are both liable, and maybe face the same or even different charges.

Sheffield Corp. budgeted costs for 45000 linear feet of block are: Fixed manufacturing costs$24000 per month Variable manufacturing costs$16 per linear foot Sheffield installed 30000 linear feet of block during March. How much is budgeted total manufacturing costs in March
Answer:
Manufacturing cost =$744,000
Explanation:
The total manufacturing cost is the sum of the variable manufacturing cost and the fixed manufacturing cost.
Manufacturing cost = variable cost + Fixed cost
This can be represent using the formula below
Y = bx + a
Y -Manufacturing cost
b- Variable cost per unit
a- Fixed cost
X- number of units
Y = (45,000× 16) + 24,000 = $744000
Budgeted Manufacturing cost =$744,000
Answer:
The answer is $504,000
Explanation:
Budgeted total manufacturing cost is the total variable cost and fixed cost the company had calculated for the production of a particular product.
Budgeted total manufacturing costs in March is:
(Variable manufacturing cost x Linear feet installed) + Fixed manufacturing cost
($16 x 30,000 linear feet) + $24,000
= $480,000 + $24,000
=$504,000

Journals come in hand for closing entries of transactions. Importantly, they identify the accounts that are debited and credited respectively. There are many kinds of journals for various purposes, from the general to so many of the specialized kinds. We can even use journal entries to record exchange of quantities, not only dollar amounts, as demonstrated above.
Projectized organizations are especially effective at helping team members to maintain their discipline-specific competencies. Group of answer choices
Answer: False
Explanation:
A projectized organization is a form of organization structure is that is designed such that it is hierarchical and headed by the project manager who is typically involved in every decision that is made regarding the project as he or she is the one that team members report to.
Therefore, projectized organizations are not effective at helping team members to maintain their discipline-specific competencies.
As a firm grows, it must support increases in revenue with new investments in assets. The self-supporting, or sustainable, growth model helps a firm assess how rapidly it can grow, while maintaining a balance between its cash outflows (increases in noncash assets) and inflows (funds resulting from increases in liabilities or equity). Consider the following case of Bohemian Manufacturing Company: Bohemian Manufacturing Company has no debt in its capital structure and has $300,000,000 in assets. Its sales revenues last year were $120,000,000 with a net income of $2,000,000. The company distributed $180,000 as dividends to its shareholders last year. Given the information above, what is Bohemian Manufacturing Company’s sustainable growth rate? 0.0601562% 0.5181384% 0.61% 4.1464268% Which of the following are assumptions of the sustainable (self-supporting) growth model? Check all that apply. The firm maintains a constant net profit margin. The firm’s liabilities and equity must increase at the same rate. The firm pays no dividends. The firm maintains a constant ratio of liabilities to equity.
Answer:
Sustainable growth rate = 0.67148%
The firm maintains a constant ratio of liabilities to equity.
Explanation:
Sustainable growth rate = ROE *Plow back Ratio / (1-ROE * Plow back Ratio)
When ROE = Net Income / Total Assets
= $2,000,000/$300,000,000
= 0.00667
Plow back Ratio = 1 - (Dividend / Net Income)
= 1 - ($180,000/$2,000,000)
= 1 - 0.09
=0.91
Sustainable growth rate = ROE * Plow back Ratio / (1-ROE * Plow back Ratio)
= 0.00667 * 0.91 / (1 - 0.00667 * 0.91)
= 0.0060697 / 0.9039303
=0.0067148
= 0.67148%
Therefore, the sustainable growth rate is 0.67148%
The firm maintains a constant ratio of liabilities to equity is the correct assumption for the sustainable growth model.

Option D is the correct answer
g If Warren Buffet can beat the market using value investing, then... Group of answer choices the market is semi-strong form efficient the market is weak form efficient the market cannot be efficient the market is strong form efficient
Answer: The market is weak form efficient
Explanation:
Weak form markets are markets in which stocks are said to incorporate all past information in their prices. Investors who believe that the market is at weak form efficiency believe that since the stock contains past information, using the current information in the company's books to determine if the company is overvalued or undervalued is possible (fundamental analysis).
Warren Buffet's Value Investing means that he invests in stocks that he believes to be undervalued and sells them for higher or holds them when they appreciate. This is consistent with fundamental analysis. If Warren Buffet is beating the market by investing in undervalued stock then the market is indeed weak form efficient.

Workings:
Normal hours = 40
Number of hours worked = 45
Overtime hours = Number or hours worked - Normal hours = 45 - 40 = 5
Normal hourly wage rate = $20
Overtime hourly rate = $30
Federal income tax withholding = $94
w.1: Normal wage amount = Normal hours * Normal wage rate = 40 * $20 = $800
w.2: Overtime pay = Overtime hours * Overtime hourly rate = 5 * $30 = $150
w.3: Wages expense = Normal wage amount + Overtime pay = $800 + $150 = $950
w.4: Wages payable = Total wage amount - Federal income tax withholding = $950 - $94 = $856
An organizational chart of a company shows vice presidents with responsibility for key areas such as design, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and after-sales support. This reflects a _______ structure.
Answer: Functional
Explanation: The functional structure of an organisational chart places people with similar skills who perform similar activities in a group under a common manager who answers to an executive a level up in the hierarchy who may oversee multiple departments. Therefore, an organizational chart of a company showing vice presidents with responsibility for key areas such as design, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and after-sales support would reflect a functional structure.
An advantage of the functional structure is that employees are allowed to focus their collective energies on executing their roles as a department but sometimes they might develop tunnel vision (seeing the company solely through the lens of the employee’s job function) and often at times there is a lack of inter-departmental communication.
