Angelica Canizales is the CEO of Mucho Dinero Enterprises. Sales have dropped for four consecutive years and accountants have re

ported net losses in each of the last two years. Employees appear discouraged and frustrated. Recently, Angelica met with managers from marketing, production, and finance to listen to their views regarding the company's problems. The managers unanimously agreed that the main problem was a lack of communication among the several functional areas of the business. Each manager felt that the firm could increase quality and customer satisfaction with better interdepartmental communication. Angelica also met with marketing and production employees to get their respective opinions on the problems of the firm. One employee from the production department observed, "We have so many layers of management that it takes forever to make decisions." An employee from marketing complained, "This place is so bogged down with rules and regulations that there is no opportunity to be creative." Several employees shared their opinions regarding their bosses. Specifically, one employee said, "My boss never pays attention to my ideas. He just issues orders and expects me to obey them." Angelica decided, after listening to many comments from managers and employees and also suppliers and customers, that the only way to end Mucho Dinero's slide was to completely rethink the firm's structure and to make radical changes in its organization. She presented her ideas to the board of directors, promising to voluntarily resign if her efforts to reorganize did not return the firm to profitability.
Angelica's decision to completely redesign Mucho Dinero's organization indicates that she believes the best approach to her firm's problems is

A. restructuring.
B. organizational therapy.
C. competitive benchmarking.
D. flexible departmentalization.

Angelica's decision to completely redesign Mucho Dinero's organization indicates that she believes the best approach to her firm's problems is

A. restructuring.

Explanation:

Angelica has found that the problem that riddles her company is not something from the outside that can be cured from bailing out certain elements but comes from within in that it is imbibed in their own structure as a firm.

This means that they are lacking in communication between different structures inside the company. So the restructuring of the functional structures keeping in mind communication flow can do the trick for the firm.

Amusement parks often offer discounts to locals with IDs. This is an example of a. ​A direct discrimination scheme b. ​An indire
aliya0001 [1]

The correct answer is A. An direct discrimination scheme

Explanation:

Direct discrimination exists if certain individuals or groups are treated differently from most people, this includes favorable treatment such as benefits as well as unfavorable or negative treatments. Moreover, direct discrimination schemes differ from indirect discrimination schemes because these are supported by law, rules, etc. that directly define the difference in treatment and the groups or people affected by these.

The case presented is an example of an indirect discrimination scheme because the discounts to locals show a difference in treatment. Also, this difference is explicit because it is stated it only applies to locals, and this discrimination is supported by the policies or rules of the amusement park.

AlphaBrona Industries manufactures 50,000 components per year. The manufacturing cost of the components was determined as follow
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Manufacturing cost:

= Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead + Fixed overhead

= $80,000 + $100,000 + $30,000 + $60,000

= $270,000

Purchase from outside:

= Fixed overhead + Purchase price

= $60,000 + (50,000 × $10)

= $60,000 + $500,000

= $560,000

Effect on income = Purchase from outside - Manufacturing cost

                            = $560,000 - $270,000

                            = $290,000

Therefore, the above calculations shows that income will decrease by $290,000.

Merchant Company purchased property for a building site. The costs associated with the property were: Purchase price $ 181,000 R
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

<em><u>Any cost directly attributable to bring the asset into current location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating it, in the manner intended by the management ( Para 15) 4.1.1. Clause b</u></em>

According to this the cost must be allocated to the purchase of land.

There are three scenarios.

1) if the land with a building is purchased with the intention of demolishing an old building and building a new building then selling it all the costs would be assigned to the purchase of land.

2) if the land is purchased with the building on it and that building is used for a short time and then demolished then the building demolish charges would be expense out.

3)if the land with a building is purchased with the intention of demolishing an old building and building a new building then  using it then two different costs accounts of land and building would be used. We would not demolish the old building without the new building being made so the demolish would be added in the incremental costs of the new building.

The given question is of the third scenario therefore

Costs of Land = $ 181,000 + $ 15,600 + $ 1400 + 2600= $ 200,600

Incremental Cost of new building = $ 1600
