Answer:
100
Explanation:
Goal programming is an optimization technique that allows for multiple, normally conflicting objectives and then attempts to solve each goal sequentially to a satisfactory level. In goal programming, differential variables are being used.
Since the goal programming problem had two goals. Goal number 1 was to achieve a profit of $2,400 and goal number 2 was to have no idle time for workers in the factory. The optimal solution to this problem resulted in a profit of $2,300 and no idle time
This means that goal number 2 was achieved since the optimal solution resulted in no idle time. But goal number 1 was not achieved because a profit of $2300 was achieved in the solution instead of $2400.
Therefore, the value for the objective function for this goal programming problem = 2400 - 2300 = 100
Answer:
$4,000
Explanation:
The operating activities is the activities which records day to day activities i.e change in working capital, loss or profit on sale of long term assets, depreciation expense etc

Which of the following statements about brand names is true?
- 1. Brand names give the seller an incentive to provide consistently high-quality products and services in order to protect the reputation of the brand.
Options 2 and 3 are wrong:
2. Brand names are always economically wasteful since they dupe consumers into buying more expensive goods and services that are no different from generic versions.
⇒ FALSE, just because a product has a certain brand it doesn't make it better and therefore more expensive. There are brands that consumers associate with luxury and expensive products, while there are other brands that consumers recognize while not necessarily being more expensive than others, e.g Coke.
3. It is always rational to prefer brand names over generic substitutes.
⇒ FALSE, it depends on the type of product. Generic medicines as just as effective as banded medicines.

The journal entry is shown below:
Cash A/c Dr $4,680
Credit card expenses A/c Dr $120 ($4,800 × 2.5%)
To Sales $4,800
(Being the deposit is recorded and the remaining balance is debited to the cash account)
We debited the cash and the credit card expenses account and credited the sales account so that proper entry would be recorded.
Answer:
total savings using CFL light bulbs = $47.09
Explanation:
We can compare the costs of 8,000 hours of lighting:
incandescent light bulbs
- you need 8 incandescent light bulbs to generate 8,000 hours of lighting = 8 x $0.70 = $5.60
- they will consume a total of 150 watts x 8,000 hours = 1,200 kWh x $0.05 per kWh = $60
- total cost = $5.60 + $60 = $65.60
CFL light bulbs
- you need one CFL light bulb to generate 8,000 hours of lighting = $5.71
- it will consume a total of 32 watts x 8,000 = 256 kWh x $0.05 = $12.80
- total cost = $5.71 + $12.80 = $18.51
total savings = $18.51 - $65.60 = -$47.09
