Joe is thinking about buying a very good lawn tractor to save the money that he now pays to a lawn service. It will cost $3,000

Response:

Net operating profit equals 102,000

Explanation:

Based on the following data:

Selling price per unit is $ 71

Manufacturing costs:

Direct materials cost $ 12

Direct labor cost $ 6

Variable manufacturing overhead is $ 3

Annual fixed manufacturing overhead totals $ 264,000

Selling and administrative expenses:

Variable selling/admin expenses per sold unit are $ 4

Annual fixed selling/admin expenses total $ 74,000

Year 1

Starting inventory numbers 0

Units produced throughout the year are 11,000

Sold units during the year total 8,000

Ending inventory numbers 3,000

Year 2

Beginning inventory equals 3,000

Units manufactured for the year total 12,000

Units sold throughout the year are 14,000

Ending inventory is 1,000

Unitary cost is calculated as: (12 + 6 + 3) + (264,000/11,000)= $45

Income statement details:

Sales total = (8,000*$71)= 568,000

COGS total = (8,000*45)= 360,000 (-)

Gross profit = 208,000

Variable selling/admin costs = (4*8000)= 32,000 (-)

Fixed selling/admin costs = 74,000 (-)

Net operating profit rounds to 102,000

Answer:

Prices decline, yields increase

Explanation:

There exists an inverse relationship between bond prices and yields, meaning that if the borrower's creditworthiness is questioned, the bond's price falls while its yield rises.

In the given context, due to doubts about the borrower's reliability, we would expect a decline in price along with an uptick in yield.

Options:

very high, given both expectancy and valence levels are elevated

moderately high, since high valence and instrumentality compensate for low expectancy

moderate, as high expectancy and valence levels counteract low instrumentality

low, since motivation requires high expectancy, instrumentality, and valence.

Answer:

low, since motivation hinges on high expectancy, instrumentality, and valence.

Explanation:

The expectancy theory of motivation posits that an individual will be driven to perform if they perceive their efforts will yield a positive reaction from their employer or result in satisfactory compensation. An employee who doubts their ability to meet the demands for a promotion will have a diminished level of motivation.

Answer:

The financial drawback amounts to 138,600.

Explanation:

The allocated and depreciation costs are inevitable and thus should be regarded as expenses for the purchase option.

Additionally, any income from the extra segment is applicable only to the purchase option.

The avoidable costs include:

Direct Materials

Direct Labor

Variable overhead

Supervisor's salary

These costs are absent in the purchase scenario.
