Systemic barriers to change occur because of conflicts between departments, conflicts arising from power relationships, and refusal to share information.
a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

This statement is true, as systemic barriers can occur in an organization whose information flow does not occur efficiently and effectively, which causes information noises that prevent departments or teams from receiving organizational information.

This barrier can be eliminated by establishing a more direct and integrated communication with all organizational sectors, in the form of announcements, murals, e-mail, etc.

Another way to solve this problem is by analyzing the design of the organizational structure and making adjustments if it is found that there are flaws that prevent the flow of information to flow normally.

A small town with one hospital has two ambulances to supply ambulance service. Requests for ambulances during nonholiday weekends average .45 per hour and tend to be Poisson-distributed. Travel and assistance time averages two hours per call and follows an exponential distribution. Find:

a. System utilization.

b. The average number of customers waiting.

c. The average time customers wait for an ambulance.

d. The probability that both ambulances will be busy when a call comes in.

Answers

Explanation:

Given: -

The number of ambulances is(m) =  2.

Arrival rate = 0.45 per hour

Service time = 2 per hour

Service rate =?

service time = 2 (Travel and assistance time averages two hours per call)

Therefore, Service rate will be 1/2 = 0.5 per hour.

a). System utilization(p) = arrival rate/mean of ambulances*service time

p = 0.45/2×0.5 = 0.45.

(b) :- The average number of customer waiting or waiting time for an ambulance is equal to:-

Arrival rate divided by the service rate ( on its corresponding service time as per table value)

I.e. Arrival time = 0.45 ÷ service rate =0.5

= 0.9 ( see table value for 0.9 with service rate as 2)

It comes to 0.229.

Therefore, the average number of customers waiting. 0.229.

(c) :- The average time customers wait for an ambulance is equal to :

No. of customers waiting for ÷ arrival rate

0.229 ÷ 0.45 = 0.508

Or 0.509 (approx. )

D) probability of Both ambulances is idle is Po = 0.378 (from the table for the value of and M=2)

So Probability of both ambulance is busy = 1-Po

= 1 - 0.378

= 0.622

This year Burchard Company sold 37,000 units of its only product for $16.40 per unit. Manufacturing and selling the product required $122,000 of fixed manufacturing costs and $182,000 of the fixed selling and administrative costs. It?s per unit variable costs follow.

Material $4.20
Direct labor (paid on the basis of completed units) 3.20
Variable overhead costs 0.42
Variable selling and administrative costs 0.22
Next year the company will use new material, which will reduce material costs by 50% and direct labor costs by 50% and will not affect product quality or marketability. Management is considering an increase in the unit selling price to reduce the number of units sold because the factory's output is nearing its annual output capacity of 42,000 units. Two plans are being considered. Under plan 1, the company will keep the selling price at the current level and sell the same volume as last year. This plan will increase income because of the reduced costs of using the new material. Under plan 2, the company will increase the selling price by 20%. This plan will decrease unit sales volume by 5%. Under both plans 1 and 2, the total fixed costs and the variable costs per unit for overhead and for selling and administrative costs will remain the same.

You are feeling overwhelmed by the number of potential goals you could set for your business unit. You ask your colleague Dan for advice on the process he uses to set goals. Which of the following suggestions from Dan is wrong? He suggests that you

Answers

Answer:

prioritize goals according to their value to the organization

Explanation:

Goal setting is an action plan that is set to motivate someone towards achieving a goal. Individuals, organizations set goals as part of their personal development plans hence must be Specific, Measurable, Action oriented, Realistic and Timely(SMART).

With regards to the above scenario, prioritizing goals according to their value to the organization is wrong. While it is important to prioritize goals, such must however be made to align with the business's strategic objectives.

It is also important to stick to goals already set instead of constantly changing them. Sometimes too, customers put pressure on business owners to consider certain goals which might be beneficial; such should also be looked into after considering their pros and cons.

The Whistling Straits Corporation needs to raise $74 million to finance its expansion into new markets. The company will sell new shares of equity via a general cash offering to raise the needed funds. The offer price is $45 per share and the company's underwriters charge a spread of 6 percent. If the SEC filing fee and associated administrative expenses of the offering are $825,000, how many shares need to be sold? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)

Answers

Answer:

1,768,913 new stocks

Explanation:

the company needs to raise amount needed to finance expansion plus SEC's filing and administrative fees = $74,000,000 + $825,000 = $74,825,000

net amount received per stock issued = stock price x (1 - underwriting fee) = $45 x (1 - 6%) = $42.30 per stock

the company needs to issue = $74,825,000 / $42.30 per stock = 1,768,912.53 = 1,768,913 new stocks

] A firm is producing 1,000 units at a total cost of $5,000. If it were to increase production to 1,001 units, its total cost would rise to $5,008. What does this information tell you about the firm?

Answers

Answer:

The question is not complete, below is an example of the completely stated question:

A firm is producing 1,000 units at a total cost of $5,000. If it were to increase production to 1,001 units, its total cost would rise to $5,008. What does this information tell you about the firm?

a. Marginal cost is $5, and average variable cost is $8.

b. Marginal cost is $8, and average variable cost is $5.

c. Marginal cost is $5, and average total cost is $8.

d. Marginal cost is $8, and average total cost is $5.

Answer:

d. Marginal cost is $8, and average total cost is $5.  

Explanation:

Marginal cost of production is the change in cost, arising from the production of an additional unit of output. it is the cost of manufacturing one more unit of product. Mathematically, marginal cost is represented as:

[tex]Marginal\ cost = \frac{change\ in\ cost}{change\ in\ quantity\ produced} \\[/tex]

change in cost (ΔC) = C₂ - C₁ = 5,008 - 5,000 = 8

change in quantity produced = Q₂ - Q₁ = 1,001 - 1,000 = 1

[tex]Marginal\ cost = \frac{8}{1} = \$8[/tex]

∴Marginal Cost = $8

Average Total Cost (ATC) or average cost or unit cost is the total cost divided by the number of units produced. It is represented as

[tex]ATC =\frac{TC}{Q} \\where\\ATC = Average\ total\ cost\\\TC = Total\ cost\ = \$5,000\\Q = units\ of\ goods\ produced = 1,000\\[/tex]

∴ ATC = 5,000 ÷ 1,000 = $5

Jessie, an HR specialist, has been assigned the task of performing a job analysis for a new position created at the firm. What questions is LEAST relevant to the job analysis that Jessie will conduct?

Answers

Answer: D) What is the national hourly rate for this job?

Explanation:

Job analysis is done to help an organization ascertain what kind of person would be a right fit for the job. As such, it focuses on what the job entails as well as the requirements of the job and other details like its duration. This will help a company know the kind of person that will work best in the role.

The rate that the job pays is something that the company also analyzes but this is a very secondary aspect of job analysis and so it is the least relevant here.

Which of the following is the best description of the product life cycle of this product?

a. Long, level beginning, and rapid ascent
b. High initial sales followed by slow decline
c. High introductory sales followed by rapid decline
d. Rapid growth followed by rapid decline
e. Moderately slow introduction, followed by modest growth, gradually leveling off

Answers

Answer: Moderately slow introduction, followed by modest growth, gradually leveling off

Explanation:

The product life cycle is the time a product takes from the introduction stage to the decline stage when it's off the market.

Based on the above scenario, the product life cycle of this product will be moderately slow introduction, followed by modest growth, gradually leveling.

This is because since it's a new product, there will be a slow introduction as people will just be getting used to the product, then as customers begin to buy the product and it's brand becomes known, there'll be a modest growth before it levels off.

Sheffield Corp. determines that 53000 pounds of direct materials are needed for production in July. There are 3100 pounds of direct materials on hand at July 1 and the desired ending inventory is 2700 pounds. If the cost per unit of direct materials is $3, what is the budgeted total cost of direct materials purchases

Answers

Answer:

Budgeted total cost of Direct Material purchases ($) =$ 157,800

Explanation:

Raw material purchase budget is determined by adjusting the raw material usage budget for opening and closing inventory of materials.

Purchase budget = usage budgeted + closing inventory - Opening inventory

Material purchase budget = 53,000 + 2,700 - 3,100= 52,600  pounds

Note the closing inventory represents the stock of materials needed to be kept, hence it will increase the purchase budget. So we added.

On the other hand hands, the opening inventory represented what already existed , hence we subtracted it as it will reduce what will be required.

Material purchase budget ($) = purchase budget in quantity × standard price per quantity

Material purchase budget = 52,600 × $3 = $ 157,800

Budgeted total cost of Direct Material purchases ($) =$ 157,800

Answers

Answer:

Fontaine - $233,000Monroe - $191,000

Explanation:

Fontaine invested a building that had a value of $366,000 but the partnership assumes a $133,000 note secured by a mortgage on the property. This therefore reduces Fontaine's contribution;

= 366,000 - 133,000

= $233,000

Monroe contributed both cash and equipment so that would go to Monroe's capital account as their capital contribution;

= 108,000 + 83,000

= $191,000

You are calculating the performance of your project. If the actual cost is $80,000, the planned value is $70,000 and the earned value is $65,000, what is the cost performance index?

Answers

Answer:

Cost performance index is 81.25%

Explanation:

Actual cost = $80,000

Planned value = $70,000

Earned value = $65,000

Cost performance index (CPI) is the ratio of earned value to actual cost and can be used to estimate the projected cost of completing the project.

CPI = EV / AC

= $65,000 / $80,000

= 0.8125

= 0.8125 x 100

= 81.25%

C. The company paid a lower cost per hour for labor than allowed by the standards.
D. The company used fewer labor hours than allowed by the standards,

Answers

Answer:

The company paid a lower cost per hour for labor than allowed by the standards.

Explanation:

The labour cost variance is the difference between the standard labour cost allowed for the actual hours worked and the actual labor cost for the same hours

The labour cost variance compares the actual cost  and the standard cost for the actual labour hours paid for.

Hence , Poseidon Marine Stores Company would have paid a sum for labour cost which is lower than the standard cost.

The company paid a lower cost per hour for labor than allowed by the standards.

Answers

Answer:

c.$27,284.90 unfavorable

Explanation:

Standard variable overhead rate                     =$27.00

Standard hours allowed per completed unit  =4.3

Actual production unit                                      =971

Actual variable overhead costs                       =$140,018

Variable factory overhead controllable variance = (Standard variable overhead rate * Standard hours allowed per completed unit * Actual production unit) - Actual variable overhead costs

Variable factory overhead controllable variance = ($27 * 4.3 * 971) - $140,018

B. Ask the customer if they need the patio project installed
C. Close the sale with the customer
D. Ask the customer if they need any other products for the project.​

Answers

A customer who has routinely traded securities through your firm has placed an order to buy a security that is only listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange. To effect the transaction, your firm must use a correspondent broker-dealer located in Malaysia that charges large special handling fees to cover Malaysian securities transfer taxes. Which statement is TRUE

Answers

Answer:

the broker-dealer must notify the customer of the additional charges prior to executing the transaction

Explanation:

In such a scenario, the statement that would be completely true is that the broker-dealer must notify the customer of the additional charges prior to executing the transaction. Since the broker is acting on behalf of the customer, then the customer needs to be notified beforehand in order for him/her to be able to analyze and decide whether or not they still want to go ahead with the transaction.

Suppose Rocky Brands has earnings per share of ​$2.33 and EBITDA of ​$29.3 million. The firm also has 5.3 million shares outstanding and debt of ​$125 million​ (net of​ cash). You believe​ Jared's Outdoor Corporation is comparable to Rocky Brands in terms of its underlying​ business, but​ Jared's has no debt. If​ Jared's has a​ P/E of 12.9 and an enterprise value to EBITDA multiple of 7.1​, estimate the Enterprise Value of Rocky Brands by using both multiples. Which estimate is likely to be more​ accurate?

Answers

Answer:

enterprise value to EBITDA.

Explanation:

The computation of the value of the stock using P/E ratio is shown below:-

Stock value = (P/E ratio × EPS) × Number of shares outstanding

= (12.9 × $2.33) × 5.3 million

= 159.3021 million

Now, the computation of the value of the stock using EBITDA multiple is shown below:-

Stock value = (EBITDA multiple × EBITDA) - Net debt

= (7.1 × $29.3 million) - $125 million

= 208.03 - $125 million

= 83.03

There is no equivalent corporate debt. It is easier to make a comparison at the operating level and thus a better measure of valuation is the enterprise value to EBITDA.

Suppose the demand curve for a monopolistic competitor becomes steeper, but its average total costs do not change. What is likely to be an effect?

Answers

Answer:

The demand curve is less elastic.

Explanation:

The steeper demand curve shows that the demand had become less elastic because the steeper demand curve represents the less elastic demand while the flatter demand curve shows the more elastic demand. therefore, if the demand curve for a monopolistic competitor becomes steeper that means people are less responsive towards the quantity. So if the price increases or decreases, then people will not change their quantity more than the change in price.

Used Car Problems. Marcy purchased a used car from ABC Motors. Six months later, the police seized the car from Marcy because it was a stolen vehicle. Marcy asked for her money back from ABC Motors. The manager there told her that the car was not stolen; that even if it were stolen, ABC Motors acted in good faith with no knowledge of a theft; therefore, no refund was legally required. ABC Motors had also sold a used car to Frank, who wrote a bad check for the car and left town but not before he sold the car to Betty, who paid a fair price for the car believing that Frank had all rights to sell it. ABC Motors asked Betty to return the car, but she told ABC to forget it. Assuming that ABC Motors was an innocent purchaser from the thief, which of the following is true regarding the manager's statement that Marcy is not due a refund?
A. The manager is correct, but only if ABC Motors can prove that it had never been charged with dealing in stolen merchandise.

B. The manager is correct, but only if ABC Motors can prove that none of its representatives were negligent in disregarding evidence of the theft at any time prior to its resale to Marcy.

C. The manager is correct.

D. The manager is incorrect, but only if Marcy can prove that she specifically asked if there was any problem with the car prior to her purchase and was affirmatively told that the title was good.

E. The manager is incorrect.

Answers

Answer:

E. The manager is incorrect.

Explanation:

Since the car was stolen, ABC Motors never had good title of it. A car comes with a title and before ABC bought it from someone it should have verified that the title was good. They are merchants and their normal job is to deal with this kind of things. A car dealership cannot sell cars without a good title, and if they do, they will get in legals problems for doing so.Their problems will not only involve the buyer, but they will also be investigated to check if they were involved in the theft.

Velocity Company estimates the following for the next year, when common stock is expected to trade at a price-earnings ratio of 7. Earnings before interest and taxes $45 million Interest expense $5 million Effective income tax rate 30% Preferred stock dividends $10 million Common shares outstanding 2 million Common stock payout ratio 25% What is Velocity's approximate expected common stock market price per share next year?

Answers

Answer:

$63

Explanation:

The computation of the expected common stock market price per share for the next year is shown below:

Price earning ratio = Share price ÷ earning per share

where

Price earning ratio is 7

Earning per share is

= (Net income - preference dividend) ÷ number of common shares outstanding

= {($45 million - $5 million) × (1 - 0.30) - $10 million)} ÷ 2 million shares

= $9

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the expected common stock market price is

= 7 × $9

= $63

The following table lists all costs of quality incurred by Sam's Surf Shop last year. Annual inspection costs Annual cost of scrap materials Annual rework cost Annual cost of quality training Annual warranty cost Annual testing cost $ 172,000 356,000 104,679 526,000 1,686,000 535,000 What was Sam's appraisal cost for quality last year?

Answers

Answer:

$707,000

Explanation:

Calculation for Sam's appraisal cost for quality last year

Using this formula

Appraisal cost = Annual inspection costs + Annual testing cost

Where,

Annual inspection costs =$172,000

Annual testing cost=$535,000

Let plug in the formula

Appraisal cost = $172,000 + $535,000

Appraisal cost = $707,000

Therefore Sam's appraisal cost for quality last year will be $707,000.

Sales 1,642,500 1,752,000 1,200,000

Required:
Compute the following financial ratios for 2016 and 2017.

Answers

Answer:

Answers are calculated below

Explanation:

Financial ratios can be calculated according to their formulas. Both formulas and calculation are as follows

CURRENT RATIO

Current ratio = Current assets/current liabilities

Current ratio (2016) = $360,000/$250,000

Current ratio (2016) = 1.44

Current ratio (2017) = $450,000 / $300,000

Current ratio (2017) = 1.50

ACID RATIO

Acid ratio = (Current asset - inventory)/current liabilities

Acid ratio (2016) = (360,000 - 165,000)/250,000

Acid ratio (2016) = 0.78

Acid ratio (2017) = (450,000-225,000)/300,000

Acid ratio (2017) = 225,000/300,000

Acid ratio (2017) = 0.75

INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO

Inventory turnover ratio = cost of good Sold / Average inventory

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) =  864,000/(360,000 ÷2)

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 864,000/180,000

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 4.80

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 1,023,750 / ( 390,000 ÷ 2)

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 1,023,750 / 195,000

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 5.25

DAYS SALE IN RECEIVABLE

Days sale in receivable = 365/Average receivable turnover ratio

Days sale in receivable (2016) = 365/ 12.67(w1)

Days sale in receivable (2016) = 28.81 days

Days sale in receivable (2017) =365/11.7(w1)

Days sale in receivable (2017) = 31.20 days

Working 1

Account receivable turnover ratio = Sales/ Average receivable

Account receivable turnover ratio (2016) = 1,752,000/138,288(w2)

Account receivable turnover ratio = 12.67 times

Account receivable turnover ratio (2017) = 1,642,500/140,351(w2)

Account receivable turnover ratio (2017) = 11.7 times

Working 2

Average receivable = (Opening + Closing) /2

Average receivable (2016) = (132,000 + 144,576) /2

Average receivable (2016) = 138,288

Average receivable (2017) = (144,576 +136,125 ) /2

Average receivable (2017) = 140,351
