James Brolen is a man of many talents and abilities. After six months in business, however, things aren't going well, and Brolen

doesn't quite understand why. Among other things, he sometimes worries more about problems at home than about customer needs, spends a little too much time poring over e-mails, and tries to balance work and life by keeping up with a couple of hobbies. What's Brolen's biggest problem?

Answer:

His biggest problem is that he has not been able to find balance between his business and his personal life.

Explanation:

It says here that he has many talents and abilities and business seems to have gone well at first because he only notices a problem after six months. He has the ability to run a business but it seems that he has not found balance. He also seems to not have a proper plan in place and is relying on his talents and abilities only.

What he needs to do is to set regular business hours and stick to them. During work hours he will concentrate on his clients and other work that needs doing and after hours he can concentrate on his family and that will help minimize the problems that take up some of his time even when he should be dealing with clients. If his family feels neglected many problems will arise.

He also needs to have someone to help him, even if he is running a small business because he simply can't do it all. Even if he was able to, he would eventually burn out, so he needs to get someone to help him, someone who will be able to attend to clients or help with other duties. Someone he will train to be able to keep the business running smoothly even when he is not there.

He needs to learn how to prioritize and also make time for his family and himself alone. He also has to remember that if he doesn't treat his customers well, they will go to others because they have options and that he must treat his employees well because if they are happy then his customers will be treated accordingly.

Answer:

He should focus on customer needs.He should spend his time in the office working rather worrying about home or hobbies.

Explanation:

Brolen's biggest problem is that he is not satisfying customers' needs. He doesn't have a definite Business Plan or strategy to work things out. He does not have a set of targets to achieve and doesn't take the business professionally .He needs guidance to plan out his business activities and needs to work properly without worrying much about home or his hobbies. He should spend his time in the office working rather worrying about home. Spending time on too much emailing will not help him . He needs marketers and other business persons to plan implement and execute business strategies to satisfy customer needs.

netineya [11]

Answer:1.$50/hr

2. $850

3.$30

4.$510

5.$1360

Explanation:

1. Hourly rate= Total annual salary/Number of hours worked

$85,000/1,700 hours=$50/hour.

2. Direct labour cost for client 367 = Hourly(required 1)× Number of hours billed

$50/hour × 17 hours= $850

3. Indirect cost allocation rate = Total indirect costs/ Total number of billed hours

$360,000/12,000 hours= $30/hour

4. Indirect costs allocated to client= Indirect cost allocation rate × Number of attorney billing hours

$30 (from required 3) × 17 hours = $510.

5. Total job cost = direct costs + indirect costs allocated

850 + 510 = 1360.

Enjoy

Octavia Corporation uses perpetual FIFO throughout the year to maintain internal records but at the end of the year adjusts thes
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The journal entry as at the end of the year will be

End of year   Debit Cost of Goods Sold   $110,000

                                  Credit LIFO Reserve account     $110,000

Explanation:

A FIFO method of inventory maintenance is when the first in first out(FIFO) method for inventory utilizations is followed. Here, the oldest inventory is used first followed by the next oldest inventory. Suppose I have in stock inventory purchased in March and May, when the demand for use of inventory arises, the March inventory purchased will be utilized first.

LIFO method works the opposite way. In the above case, when the demand for use of inventory arises, the May inventory purchased will be utilized first.

In this case, FIFO is changed to LIFO method which gives rise to and LIFO reserve account of $50,000/- at the beginning of the year. Through the year, the difference in inventory maintenance method, further increases the LIFO reserve by $60,000/-. Hence the total reserve created due to inventory method change is $50,000+$60,000 = $110,000/-.  The change in inventory maintenance will have a direct impact on cost of goods sold(COGS). Hence COGS is debited.

Assume millerville was producing 30 scooters and 10 helicopters before specialization. if millerville wanted to maintain product
lutik1710 [3]

As long as the production times and price points were simular then it would. However, with assuming it costs much more of a hellicoper then it does for a scooter to be produced they would definitly benefit from trading one schooter for one helicopter with Jamestown. They will benefit due to time and money that is being saved.
