Explanation:
the environmental protection department has to apply the pollution control rule through a good examination of the effect it would have on all stakeholders if it is passed.
local citizens: for this group the best way to respond to their request is by making sure that the rule is applied in a timely manner. they have to be given the assurance that environmental implications would be reduced to the highest possible extent by this rule and that this rule would prove to be effective.
california environmental group: the request of this group is valid and they have to get the assurance that the effect of rule on the state have been studied well enough and that policies to lower environmental effects would be put in place as much as possible.
manufacturing lobbyist: theirs is a critical request. passing the rule would obviously increase necessary pollution standards. to ensure the lobbyist is made awarebof this, administrative agency has to have a meeting with the lobbyist and the person has to be made aware of the new position and current standards that are obtainable to organizations that are in manufacturing, as well the opportunities that are open to them. it is good to do this clearly in other to avoid any future confrontations of any kind.

The purpose of environmental forecasting is to ______. Multiple choice question. collect and interpret data on competitors follow trends in a firm's external environment monitor the external environment predict change
Answer:
predict change.
Explanation:
Environmental forecasting can be defined as a strategic process which typically involves the management predicting the future characteristics of an external environment of the organization for good decisions making.
Hence, the purpose of environmental forecasting is to predict change.
Environmental forecasting is a management strategy that focuses on systematically acquiring informations about occasions, trends, events or patterns through surveys and analysis of these information in an organisation's external and internal environment. The informations acquired through environmental scanning is then used by the executive management in strategically planning the organisation's future and exploitation of available opportunities for the success of the organization.
Generally, the environmental forecasting gives an overview of the opportunities in the market as well as potential threats to an organization.
Hence, the following are descriptive of an environmental forecasting;
1. Used as a tool for corporations to avoid strategic surprise.
2. Used to monitor, evaluate, and disseminate information relevant to the organizational development of strategy.
3. Used to determine a firm's competitive advantage.
4. Used as a tool to ensure a corporation's long-term health.
World Company expects to operate at 80% of its productive capacity of 67,500 units per month. At this planned level, the company expects to use 32,400 standard hours of direct labor. Overhead is allocated to products using a predetermined standard rate of 0.600 direct labor hour per unit. At the 80% capacity level, the total budgeted cost includes $68,040 fixed overhead cost and $408,240 variable overhead cost. In the current month, the company incurred $472,000 actual overhead and 29,400 actual labor hours while producing 51,000 units.
Required:
a. Compute the overhead volume variance.
b. Compute the overhead controllable variance.
Answer:
1. $3,780 Unfavorable
2. $453,600 Overhead controllable variance
Explanation:
Req. 1
Fixed Overhead Applied
Fixed OH per DL hr. ($68,040 ÷ $32,400) = 2.1
Standard DL hours = 0.60 * $51,000 = $30,600
Fixed OH applied = 2.1 * $30,600 = $64,260
Volume variance.
Total fixed OH applied $64,260
Total budgeted fixed OH $68,040
Fixed OH volume variance $3,780 Unfavorable
Req. 2
Overhead controllable variance.
Total actual overhead $ 472,000
Flexible budget overhead
Variable = $408,240 ÷ $32,400 = 12.6
=> $30,600 * 12.6 = $385,560
Fixed. $68,040
Total $453,600 Overhead controllable variance

Materials and manufacturing labor variances, standard costsDunn, Inc., is a privately held furniture manufacturer. For August 2014, Dunn had the following standards for one of its products, a wicker chair:The following data were compiled regarding actual performance: actual output units (chairs) produced, 2,000; square yards of input purchased and used, 3,700; price per square yard, $5.10; direct manufacturing labor costs, $8,820; actual hours of input, 900; labor price per hour, $9.80.Required:1. Show computations of price and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Give a plausible explanation of why each variance occurred.2. Suppose 6,000 square yards of materials were purchased (at $5.10 per square yard), even though only 3,700 square yards were used. Suppose further that variances are identified at their most timely control point; accordingly, direct materials price variances are isolated and traced at the time of purchase to the purchasing department rather than to the production department. Compute the price and efficiency variances under this approach.
Answer:
Please see answers below
Explanation:
1. Material price variance = AQ [ AP - SP]
= [ $5.10 - $5.0] × 3,700
= $370 (U)
Material efficiency variance = [AQ - SQ] × SP
= [3,700 - 2,000*2] × $5.0
= - $1,500 (F)
Flexible variance budget variance = Material price variance + Material efficiency variance
= $370(U) + -$1,500(F)
= -$1,130(F)
Reasons for unfavorable price variance
• When the purchase manager is not too skillful at buying materials needed for production
• When there is an unexpected increase in price of materials
Reasons for favorable efficiency variance
• Usage of high quality material
• Skilled labourers use less materials than budgeted
Direct labor rate variance = [AR - SR] × AH
= [$9.80 - $10] × 900
= -$180 (F)
Direct labor efficiency variance = [AH - SH] × SR
= [900 - 2,000*0.5] × $10
= -$1,000(F)
Flexible budget variance = Direct labor rate variance + Direct labor efficiency variance
= -$180(F) + -$1,000(F)
= -$1,180
Reasons for favorable rate variance
• When there is reduction in labor rate due to recession in an economy
• When more of semi skilled or unskilled labor are employed.
Reasons for favorable efficiency variance
• Usage of high quality raw materials
• When plant facilities are restructured, it means that labor would be more effective.
2. Material price variance = [$AP - SP] × AQ
= [$5.10 - $5.0] × 6,000
= $600(F)
Material efficiency variance = [AQ - SQ] × SP
= [6,000 - 2,000 × 0.5] × $5.0
= $25,000(F)

What liabilities does the business have after all transactions have been recorded?
Liabilities
Answer:
It is very difficult to record T accounts since there is not a lot of room here and things get complicated very easily. So I used an excel spreadsheet to post the accounts on an accounting equation format.
Assets increase when they are debited and they decrease when they are credited. The opposite happens to liabilities and equity, they increase when they are credited and decrease when they are debited. Service revenue is credited, while all expenses are debited.
The reason why the drawings account has a negative balance is that even though it is an equity account, it has a debit balance since it decreases capital.
In order for the equation to balance, you have to close the accounts, but that was not a requirement of the question.
What liabilities does the business have after all transactions have been recorded?
the only liability account is accounts payable with a credit balance of $24,700
a. Fethe's Funny Hats is considering selling trademarked, orange-haired curly wigs for University of Tennessee football games. The purchase cost for a 2-year franchise to sell the wigs is $20,000. If demand is good (40% probability), then the net cash flows will be $27,000 per year for 2 years. If demand is bad (60% probability), then the net cash flows will be $6,000 per year for 2 years. Fethe's cost of capital is 13%. What is the expected NPV of the project?
b. If Fethe makes the investment today, then it will have the option to renew the franchise fee for 2 more years at the end of Year 2 for an additional payment of $20,000. In this case, the cash flows that occurred in Years 1 and 2 will be repeated (so if demand was good in Years 1 and 2, it will continue to be good in Years 3 and 4). Write out the decision tree. Note: The franchise fee payment at the end of Year 2 is known, so it should be discounted at the risk-free rate, which is 4%. Use decision-tree analysis to calculate the expected NPV.
Answer:
A) initial outlay = $20,000
expected cash flows = (40% x $27,000) + (60% x $6,000) = $14,400
NPV = -$20,000 + $14,400/1.13 + $14,400/1.13² = $4,020.68
B) Fethe acquires franchise $20,000
things go bad, NPV = -$20,000 + $6,000/1.13 + $6,000/1.13² = -$9,991.39. The project is abandoned after the first 2 years.things go well, NPV = -$20,000 + $27,000/1.13 + $27,000/1.13² = $25,038.77. The franchise is renewed for 2 more years.⇒ since the project continues, the present value of the cash flows are:
year 0 = -$20,000
year 1 = $27,000/1.13 = $23,893.81
year 2 = $27,000/1.13² - $20,000/1.04² = $5,482.03
year 3 = $27,000/1.13³ = $18,712.35
year 4 = $27,000/1.13⁴ = $16,559.61
NPV = $44,647.80
Chelene had been a caregiver for Marta’s elderly mother, Janis, for nine years. Shortly before Janis passed away, Chelene convinced her to buy Chelene’s house for Marta. Janis died before the papers were signed, however. Four months later, Marta used her inheritance to buy Chelene’s house without having it inspected. The house was built in the 1950s, and Chelene said it was in "perfect condition." Nevertheless, one year after the purchase, the basement started leaking. Marta had the paneling removed from the basement walls and discovered that the walls were bowed inward and cracked. Marta then had a civil engineer inspect the basement walls, and he found that the cracks had been caulked and painted over before the paneling was installed. He concluded that the "wall failure" had existed "for at least thirty years" and that the basement walls were "structurally unsound." Using the information presented in the chapter, answer the following questions.
1. Can Marta avoid the contract on the ground that both parties made a mistake about the condition of the house? Explain. 2. Can Marta sue Chelene for fraudulent misrepresentation? Why or why not? What element (or elements) might be lacking?. 3. Now assume that Chelene knew that the basement walls were cracked and bowed and that she hired someone to install paneling before offering to sell the house. Did she have a duty to disclose this defect to Marta? Could a court find that Chelene's silence in this situation constituted misrepresentation? Explain.
Answer and Explanation:
1. Marta cannot avoid the contract on the basis of a mistake of buying the house because she was supposed to inspect the house she was buying
2. Marta cannot sue Chelene for fraudulent misrepresentation because Chelene was not aware of the condition of the house. The elements in fraudulent misrepresentation are lacking : no intention to deceive, no misrepresentation of material facts
3. It would be Chelene's duty to reveal that there is defect in the house and if not the court would see this as misresprentation.
4. There was no undue influence from Chelene in selling the house and so Marta and Janis even she was alive cannot revoke the contract on this basis

The shoe buyer plans to promote flip-flop sandals at $24.99. The buyer needs to purchase10,000 flip flops for the event. 6,000 flip-flop sandals have been purchased at a cost of $11.50. The planned markup for the event is 59.0%. What will be the average cost of the remaining sandals?
Answer:
$22.04
Explanation:
Sales price per sandal = $24.99
Sales price of 10,000 sandals = $24.99*10,000 = $249,900
Markup percentage = 59%
Cost of 10,000 sandals = $249,900 / 1 + 59%
Cost of 10,000 sandals = $249,900 / 1.59
Cost of 10,000 sandals = $157169.81
Cost of 10,000 sandals = $157,169.81
Less: Cost of 6000 sandals = $69,000 ($11.5*6,000)
Cost of the remaining 4,000 $88,169.81
Average cost of the remaining sandals = $88,169.81/4,000 sandals
Average cost of the remaining sandals = $22.0424525
Average cost of the remaining sandals = $22.04

A 50-kilowatt gas turbine has an investment cost of $40,000. It costs another $14,000 for shipping, insurance, site preparation, fuel lines, and fuel storage tanks. The operation and maintenance expense for this turbine is $450 per year. Additionally, the hourly fuel expense for running the turbine is $7.50 per hour, and the turbine is expected to operate 3,000 hours each year. The cost of dismantling and disposing of the turbine at the end of its 8-year life is $8,000.
Required:
a. If the MARR is 15% per year, what is the annual equivalent life-cycle cost of the gas turbine?
b. What percent of annual life-cycle cost is related to fuel?
Answer:
The annual equivalent life-cycle cost (AW) of gas turbine = -$35,569.8
The percentage fuel cost = 63.25%
Explanation:
From the given information:
Let's start with the initial investment cost, which can be expressed by using the formula:
Initial investment cost = Investment cost of turbine + cost including shipping, insurance, site preparation, fuel lines, and fuel storage tanks.)
Initial investment cost = $40,000 + $14000
Initial investment cost = $54000
However, The annual fuel expense = hourly fuel expense for running turbine × total number of operating hour per year
The annual fuel expense = $7.50 × 3000
The annual fuel expense = $22,500
Therefore, the total operating cost per year = operating & maintenance cost per year + fuel expenses per year
the total operating cost per year = $(450 + 22500)
the total operating cost per year = $22,950
If the minimum acceptable rate of return MARR is 15%, then the number of years is 8 years
Therefore, the annual equivalent life-cycle cost (AC) of the gas turbine can be computed as follows:
AC(15%) = -54000 (A/P, 15%, 8) - $22950-$8000(A/F,15%,8)
where;
(A/P,15%,8) = annual worth factor of a present worth
(A/F,15%,8) = annual worth factor of future worth for 8 years and 15% interest rate.
If we use the discrete compounding table when i = 15%;
Value of (A/P,15%,8) = 0.229
Value of (A/F,15%,8) = 0.0729
∴
AC(15%) = -$54,000(0.2229) - $22,950 -$8000(0.0729)
AC(15%) = -$12,036.6 -$22950 -$583.2
AC(15%) = -$35,569.8
Therefore, the annual equivalent life-cycle cost (AW) of gas turbine = -$35,569.8
b.
The percentage of the annual life-cycle cost related to the fuel can be calculated by using the formula :
[tex]\mathbf{\% \ fuel \ cost = \dfrac{fuel \ cost \ per \ year}{total \ annual \ life \ cycle \ cost }\times 100\%}[/tex]
Replacing our values from above, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{\% \ fuel \ cost = \dfrac{\$22500}{\$35,569.8}\times 100\%}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\% \ fuel \ cost = 0.6325\times 100\%}[/tex]
∴
The percentage fuel cost = 63.25%
Based on the given information, the annual equivalent life-cycle cost of the gas turbine is "$35,569.80," while the percent of the annual life-cycle cost is related to fuel is "65.87%."
This is based on the calculation below:
Given that: Initial investment cost => Investment cost of turbine + cost including shipping, insurance, site preparation, fuel lines, and fuel storage tanks.
Hence, we have the following:
Initial investment cost = $40,000 + $14,000;
=> Initial investment cost = $54,000.
On the other hand, The annual fuel expense = hourly fuel expense for running turbine × total number of operating hour per year;
Thus, we have the following:
The annual fuel expense = $7.50 × 3,000;
The annual fuel expense = $22,500.
Also, since, the total operating cost per year = operating & maintenance cost per year + fuel expenses per year;
We have the following:
the total operating cost per year = $(450 + 22,500);
the total operating cost per year = $22,950.
Therefore, given that the minimum acceptable rate of return MARR is 15%, then the number of years is 8 years.
Then, the annual equivalent life-cycle cost (AC) of the gas turbine is measured as:
AC (15%) = -54,000 (A/P, 15%, 8) - $22,950 - $8,000 (A/F,15%,8);
Here, we have the following details;
(A/P,15%,8) = annual worth factor of a present worth;
(A/F,15%,8) = annual worth factor of future worth for 8 years and 15% interest rate.
This, given that we use the discrete compounding table when i = 15%;
We have the following:
Value of (A/P,15%,8) = 0.229;
Value of (A/F,15%,8) = 0.0729.
AC (15%) = -$54,000 (0.2229) - $22,950 -$8,000 (0.0729);
AC(15%) = -$12,036.60 -$22,950 -$583.20;
AC(15%) = -$35,569.80.
Hence, the annual equivalent life-cycle cost (AW) of gas turbine = $35,569.80.
Similarly, the percent of the annual life-cycle cost is related to fuel is measured as = ($35,569.8 ÷ $54,000) × 100
=> 65.87%.
Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the lifecycle cost is essential when measuring the productivity of a project.

The maintenance director has grown to value your insights and thoughtful questions when preparing bid packets to support her team's best work. As it turns out, her predecessor verbally modified the LED lights' model ordered by your employer when the original, awarded bid reponse included the model number for LEDs noted by the maintenance staff--that were not compatible with the fixtures of the company buildings/structures. When the maintenance director asks your opinion about her plan to amend the existing contract with the LED supplier to the model numbers actually used, as opposed to the ones listed in the contract that are not compliant with the existing features.

Beginning inventory, January 1: 390 units at $3.80 Purchase January 9: 90 units at $4.00 Purchase January 25: 120 units at $4.10 Sale January 26: 430 units Ending inventory, January 31: 170 unitsBeginning inventory on January 1: 390 $3.80 = $1,482
Purchase on January 9: 90 $4.00 = $360
Purchase on January 25: 120 $4.10 = $492
total number of units = 600
total value = $2,334
average cost per unit = $3.89
cost of goods sold = 430 units x $3.89 = $1,672.70
ending inventory = 170 units x $3.89 = $661.30

Use the following information to answer question. Madelyn owns a small pottery factory. She can make 1,000 pieces of pottery per year and sell them for $100 each. It costs Madelyn $20,000 for the raw materials to produce the 1,000 pieces of pottery. She has invested $100,000 in her factory and equipment: $50,000 from her savings and $50,000 borrowed at 10 percent (assume that she could have loaned her money out at 10 percent, too). Madelyn can work at a competing pottery factory for $40,000 per year.
The accounting profit at Madelyn's pottery factory is:______
a. $35,000.
b. $75,000.
c. $30,000.
d. $70,000.
e. $80,000.
Telecomp is a U.S.-based manufacturer of cellular telephones. It is planning to build a new manufacturing and distribution facility in either South Korea, China, Taiwan, Poland, or Mexico. The cost of the facility will differ between countries and will even vary within countries depending on the economic and political climate, including monetary exchange rates. The company has estimated the facility cost (in $ millions) in each country under three different future economic/political climates as follows.Economic/Political Climate Country Decline Same Improve South Korea 21.7 19.1 15.2 China 19.0 18.5 17.6 Taiwan 19.2 17.1 14.9 Poland 22.5 16.8 13.8 Mexico 25.0 21.2 12.5 Determine the best decision using the following decision criteria. (Note that since the payoff is cost, the maximax criteria becomes minimax and maximin becomes minimax.)
a. Maximin
b. Minimax
c. Hurwicz ( 0.40)
d. Equal likelihood
Answer:
a. Maximin = 19.0
b. Minimax = 17.6
c. Hurwicz ( 0.40) = Taiwan
d. Equal likelihood = Taiwan
Explanation:
Remember, we are told to: Note that since the payoff is cost, the maximax criteria becomes minimax and maximin becomes minimax
a) Maximin: Since the payoff is cost, we begin by determining the maximum cost for each alternative and then selecting the one which gives the minimum of these maximums. (minimax)
b) Minimax: Since the payoff is cost, we begin by determining the minimum cost for each alternative and then selecting the one which gives the maximum of these minimums. (maximin).
c) Hurwicz (0.40): In this method, we add and multiply each payoff value by alpha (0.4).
South Korea = 15.2 (0.4) + 21.7 (0.6) = 19.1 ( remember, in $ millions)
China = 17.6 (0.4) + 19.0 (0.6) = 18.44
Taiwan = 14.9 (0.4) + 19.2 (0.6) = 17.48
Poland = 13.8 (0.4) + 22.5 (0.6) = 19.02
Mexico = 12.5 (0.4) + 25.0 (0.6) = 20
From the values above we select the minimum outcome since the company is looking at saving cost. Which is Taiwan; having the lowest cost of $17.48 million.
d) Using the formula [tex]\frac{P_{1} +P_{2}+P_{3}...P_{n} }{n}[/tex] where P = payoffs value, n = number of events.
South Korea = 15.2 + 21.7 + 19.1 /3 = 18.66
China = 17.6 + 19.0 + 18.5 /3 = 18.36
Taiwan = 14.9 + 19.2 +17.1 /3 = 17.06
Poland = 13.8 + 22.5 + 16.8 /3 = 17.7
Mexico = 12.5 + 25.0 + 21.2 /3 = 19.56
Taiwan should be selected since it has the lowest cost of $17.06 million.

Assume that in the short run a firm is producing 500 units of output, has average total costs of $300, and has average variable costs of $220. The firm's total fixed costs are. Select one: a. $40,000. b. $6.25. c. $0.16. d. $80.
Answer:
Total fixed costs= $40,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total variable cost and total cost:
Total cost= 500*300= $150,000
Total variable cost= 500*220= $110,000
Now, we can calculate the total fixed costs:
Total fixed costs= total cost - total variable cost
Total fixed costs= 150,000 - 110,000
Total fixed costs= $40,000
Lovely Lotion Inc. produces three different lotions: hand, body, and foot. The lotions are produced jointly in a mixing process that costs a total of $250 per batch. At the split-off point, one batch produces 80, 40, and 25 bottles of hand, body, and foot lotion, respectively. After the split-off point, hand lotion is sold immediately for $2.50 per bottle. Body lotion is processed further at an additional cost of $0.25 per bottle and then sold for $5.75 per bottle. Foot lotion is processed further at an additional cost of $0.85 per bottle and then sold for $4.00 per bottle. Assume that body and foot lotion could be sold at the split-off point for $3.00 and $3.20 per bottle, respectively.
1. Using the market value at split-off method, allocate the joint costs of production to each product.
2. A lotion manufacturing company produces three types of lotions. After the split-off point the company continues to sell the body lotion and makes $0.25 profit per bottle. The foot lotion generates $0.05 loss per bottle. Which lotion should be continued after the split-off point?
A. Hand lotion.
B. Body lotion.
C. Foot lotion.
D. Body and foot lotion.
3. Allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the net realizable value method.
Answer:
1) Hand lotion : Joint cost = $250
body lotion : joint cost = $250
foot lotion : Joint cost = $250
2) Body lotion
The joint costs of production for each product is : $250
Explanation:
cost per batch = $250
At spit off point
one batch produces : 80 bottles of hand lotion, 40 body lotions, 25 foot lotion
After spit-off point : Hand lotion is $2.5 per bottle
cost of further processing of body lotion = $0.25
value of body lotion = $5.75
cost of further processing of foot lotion = $0.85
market value of foot lotion = $4.00
Assuming that body and foot lotion could be sold at the split-off point for $3.00 and $3.20 per bottle, respectively.
1 ) using the market value at split-off method to allocate the joint costs of production to each product
Hand lotion : Joint cost = $250
body lotion : joint cost = $250
foot lotion : Joint cost = $250
this is because the joint cost of producing each product in every batch is the same
2) The lotion that should be continued after split-off is
Body lotion because the market value after split-off - cost for further production is better off other lotions ( highest market value after split-off)
i.e : $5.75 - $0.25 = $ 5.50
The joint costs of production for each product is : $250

MullerB Company’s employees earn vacation time at the rate of 1 hour per 40-hour work period. The vacation pay vests immediately, meaning an employee is entitled to the pay even if employment terminates. During 2018, total wages paid to employees equaled $909,000, including $9,000 for vacations actually taken in 2018, but not including vacations related to 2018 that will be taken in 2019. All vacations earned before 2018 were taken before January 1, 2018. No accrual entries have been made for the vacations.
Required:
Prepare the appropriate adjusting entry for vacations earned but not taken in 2018.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:-
Vacation benefits expense Dr, $13,500
To Vacation benefits payable $13,500
(Being vacation benefits expense is recorded)
Vacation benefits payable = Actual vacation benefit - Vacation actually taken in 2018 but not includes vacation related to 2018
= (($909,000 - $9,000) × (1 ÷ 40)) - $9,000
= ($900,000 × 0.025) - $9,000
= $13,500

Is cost minimization equivalent or identical the concept of product maximization. True of False. Explain
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Given a certain production level, cost minimization is equal to product maximization. Cost minimization refers to the production level where average total cost per unit is lowest. On the other hand, production maximization refers to maximizing product output given certain restraints, e.g. amount of raw materials, number of labor hours, etc. Product maximization basically refers to the efficiency of production.
If someone can achieve product maximization and cost minimization, they should be maximizing profit.
