Isn’t "corporate entrepreneurship" an oxymoron? Do the characteristics of an established organization, such as its routines and

The response is:

Import Quota

Explanation:

The option B is incorrect because import duty refers to taxes levied on imported goods and does not restrict or protect the coconut-based products sector.

Option C is also unsuitable since an import tariff is aimed at raising the price of imported products which wouldn’t reflect on the increase of the price for imported goods in this scenario.

Similarly, option D isn't right because there are no subsidies received from the government by the company.

Thus, option A is the correct choice as import quotas limit the ability of companies to import certain goods and services to safeguard local manufacturers.

Response:

The return on equity (ROE) would be altered by 8.52%

Clarification:

Initially, we determine the existing ROE utilizing the Dupont Formula, yielding ROE as follows:

ROE = Net Income/Sales * Sales/Total Assets * Total Assets/Equity

or

ROE = Net Profit Margin * Total Assets Turnover * Equity Multiplier

• Current ROE = 10600/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.0880 or 8.8%

The condition states that net income might rise to 20850 while other factors remain unchanged. Therefore, to find the new ROE, we compute the updated Net Profit margin, keeping the total assets turnover and the equity multiplier constant due to the absence of sales, assets, or capital structure changes.

• New ROE = 20850/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.17316 or 17.32%
• The ROE would have shifted by 17.32 - 8.80 = 8.52%

Within the regression model aimed at estimating monthly grocery spending based on family size, household income, and neighborhood characteristics, the "neighborhood" aspect functions as an independent variable. These independent variables serve as predictors, encompassing risk factors and confounding variables. The dependent variable in this scenario is the monthly household expenditures.

Answer:

Espinoza Company

The activity rate for the order fulfillment cost pool:

Expenses associated with fulfilling orders divided by the number of orders

= $130,500/3,500

= $37.29 per order

Explanation:

a) Relevant data and calculations:

Overhead expenses:

Salaries and wages: 220,000

Other expenses: 150,000

Total: $510,000

Distribution of resource usage:

Filling Orders Activity Cost Pools

                                    Filling Orders  Customer Support  Other  Total

Wages and salaries             35%                      55%              10%     100%

Other expenses                  35%                    50%              15%     100%

Fulfilling orders: 3,500 orders

Customer support: 15 customers

Overhead Allocation:

                              Filling Orders  Customer    Other        Total

                                                       Support

Salaries and wages: $77,000        $121,000      $22,000     $220,000

Other expenses:        $53,500           $75,000        $22,500        $150,000

Total:                       $130,500       $196,000      $44,500     $370,000

The activity rate for fulfilling orders is determined as $130,500/3,500, giving $37.29 per order.

Activity Based Costing (ABC) is a costing method that uses activity pools to gather and allocate overhead expenses based on the level of engagement for each activity pool.
