Kerry, the new sales director, just completed her first staff meeting to set annual goals. She managed to get the team's consens

us on increasing sales volume by 10 percent over the next year. Kerry had suggested that the team focus on increasing sales of the base model first and then focus attention on the premium offerings. In closing, she reminded the group that the whole team would share responsibility for ensuring that sales goals were met. As they left the meeting, her company president, Richard, congratulated her on her planning but suggested there was one thing she might reconsider. What did he notice? Kerry had ...

There are potential concerns here. First, focusing solely on the base model might boost total sales volume, but may not enhance profits since premium models typically offer higher contribution margins. This could be a misunderstanding as contribution margins aren't mentioned, yet it's commonly known that car salespeople tend to present premium options first. Secondly, while collaborative goals may work well in cultures like Japan, in the US, where success is often evaluated individually, a team-based responsibility for sales targets might not be effective. Imagine increasing your personal sales by 15%, but if the collective group doesn't achieve the same growth, what happens to you? Normally, an individual sales increase is rewarded with bonuses or higher commissions.

harina [3228]
Tamarisk should report an inventory amount of $252,000 as of December 31. To arrive at this figure, consider the following calculation: Inventory = Stock on hand + goods acquired from Sheffield Corp + goods sold to Wildhorse Co. This gives us the calculation: $190,000 + $29,000 + $33,000 = $252,000. All relevant amounts were taken into account, including considerations for FOB destination and FOB shipping point, which contribute to the physical inventory count.

Anderson Corporation has provided the following production and average cost data for two levels of monthly production volume. Th
marusya05 [3096]

Answer:

The overall fixed monthly manufacturing expense totals $328,000.

Explanation:

For a production of 4000 units, direct material costs amount to $99.2 per unit, direct labor costs stand at $45.5 per unit, and manufacturing overhead costs equal $94.

For a production of 5000 units, direct materials remain at $99.2 per unit, direct labor is $45.5, and manufacturing overhead costs adjust to $77.6.

Total overhead for 4,000 units

= 4,000\ \times\ 94

= $376,000

Total overhead for 5,000 units

= 5,000\ \times\ 77.6

= $388,000

The variable cost per unit

= \frac{388,000\ -\ 376,000}{1,000}

= $12 per unit

Fixed costs

= Total expenses - Total variable costs

= 388,000\ -\ (5,000\ \times\ 12)

= $328,000

Shirley received $500 monthly sick pay under a welfare fund and $6,500 monthly under a disability insurance policy offered by he
Mariulka [3182]

Response:

The total amount subject to tax will come to $7000

Thus option (d) would be the correct choice

Clarification:

According to IRS regulations, benefits received under a disability policy are fully taxable only if

The employee pays premiums on the policy entirely with pre tax dollars

In this instance, the premium was paid by the employee herself and is assumed to have been with pre tax dollars, thus it is fully taxable i.e 6500$

Consequently, the $500 sick pay from the welfare fund is categorized as earned income and is therefore fully taxable.

Thus the total taxable income amounts to $6500 + $500 = $7000

Consequently, option (d) will be the correct answer
