Answer:
The most you can pay for the pitcher is $17.32
Explanation:
A mark up is a percentage that is always applied on the cost to come up at a required gain over cost. The cost is always taken to be 100% when apply a mark up on cost.
If the mark up is of 27% and cost is 100% then a selling price of 22 will be equal to cost + markup.
Let cost be x.
Selling price = Cost + Mark up
22 = 100% * x + 27% * x
22 = 1x + 0.27x
22 = 1.27 x
22/1.27 = x
x = $17.3228 rounded off to $17.32

Answer:
C. 20.00 percent
Explanation:
The computation of the accounting rate of return is shown below:
The formula to compute the accounting rate of return is shown below:
= Annual net income ÷ initial investment
where,
Annual net income is
= Net cash flows - depreciation expense
= $12,000 - $6,000
= $6,000
And, the initial investment is $30,000
So, the accounting rate of return on initial investment is
= $6,000 ÷ $30,000
= 20%
The depreciation expense is
= $30,000 ÷ 5 years
= $6,000
Answer: An effective Internal Control
Auditors must evaluate internal controls
Auditor's work overseen by Public Accounting Board
Explanation:
The early part of the 21st century saw shocking financially improper activities by companies such as WorldCom and Enron exposed to the world. Investor Confidence was shaken and the government needed to do something to restore it.
This was why in 2002, the US Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley act that aimed to ensure that the actions of those companies were never repeated.
The act requires the following;
a) An effective Internal Control
The act requires that companies enact very effective Internal controls to detect financial irregularities and even went forward to make it the responsibility of the Top Executives to ensure that this is so.
b) Auditors must Evaluate Internal Controls.
Auditors had to change their auditing strategies that were deemed inefficient. They are now required to properly evaluate in-depth, the internal controls that a company adopts to be able to give an opinion on it and they do this based on the guidelines of the Public Accounting Board.
c) Auditor's work overseen by Public Accounting Board
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) was established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with it's main purpose being to monitor and oversee auditors as they audit companies so that they may protect the public from false financial information. They set rules and standards that Auditors must follow and these rules in turn have to be approved by the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC).
Answer:
A) For which event was the labor productivity higher?
Productivity is defined as the capacity to produce with a set amount of inputs, these inputs being workers and capital. A higher productivity occurs when more output is produced with the same or less amount of inputs.
Labor productivity was higher for the the anniversary celebration last week because with 7 workers, the catering company managed to serve 250 meals. Meanwhile, the week before, with 1 more worker (8 in total), the company only served 200 meals.
B) What are some possible reasons for the productivity differences?
The reasons can be very varied. One common reason though is the law of diminishing marginal product. This economic law establishes that there is an optimal amount of workers to employ in an economic activity, and any amount above or below will be less productive.
In this case, the optimal amount may have been 7 workers, and adding the 8 worker could have created a productivity loss represented by the lesser production.
