The following information relates to the manufacturing operations of the JNR Printing Company for the year: Beginning Ending Raw
grin007 [14]

Answer: $117,000

Explanation:

So we are to calculate the Raw Materials purchased during the year.

Logically speaking the following should hold,

Raw materials purchased during the year + beginning raw materials = ending Raw materials + Raw materials used

Agreeing on that and rearranging the formula we will have,

Raw Material purchased during the year = Raw Material used during the year + Ending Raw Material Inventory - Opening Raw Material Inventory

Slotting in the figures we will then have,

Raw Material purchased during the year = 114,000 + 56,000 - 53,000

= $117,000

Raw materials purchased during the year amount to $117,000.

Ray Jene earns $900 a week at a Publix supermarket. Ray's payroll deductions are 28%. What is Ray's take-home pay?
kaheart [24]
If Ray earns $900 a week and deductions are 28% Ray's take home pay is:
$648 a week

If we assume that the deductions of 28% are taken out of the $900 weekly we will multiply 900 by 0.28 = 252. Then subtract 252 which is the deduction amount from the 900 and we end up with take home pay of $648.

Candace owns a small business that is financially struggling. In order to respond to economic pressures, Candace is now obliged
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The answer is both: B) organizational change or competition over resources

Explanation:

Organizational change usually takes place due to external or internal pressures. In this specific case, Candace´s business is not doing well, probably her sales are down. We don´t know the reason why, I can guess probably more competition, but we know she must act fast.    

Money is the most scarce resource of all. So if money is not flowing in like Candace would expect she must be able to make difficult decisions. Laying off a worker (out of how many?) is usually seen as a bad sign for the rest of the employees. Reducing labor days (Sundays) will probably also affect the rest of the employees negatively because they will simply work less hours and get paid less.

But the bottom line is Candace as the owner (probably also the manager) has to make the decisions that are necessary for her business to continue. It would always be worst for everyone involved (Candace and her employees) if they go out of business. That way everyone loses.

At this point Candace will need to communicate with her employees and let them know how bad the situation is and the necessary steps to be taken. Her actions will be unpopular but its her job to convince her employees that its for everyone´s best interest. Well, for everyone except the one employee already fired. Leaders must show up in difficult times and make tough choices.
