Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

Another industry that I know fairly well that also have made very different choices for these strategic trade-offs is a restaurant such as McDonald’s and the Michelin-starred. Even though they are in food industry, it should be noted that their approach is not thesame.

McDonald’s sells cheap, fast foods and typically employs workers who have low skills while Michelin-starred restaurant sells food that are of high quality and also has excellent service. It should also be noted that McDonald's doesn't really place much focus on the experience and the atmosphere while Michelin does.

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts A/c Dr $2,300

             To Accounts Receivable A/c $2,300

(Being the written-off amount is recorded)

Since we have to record this journal entry so we debited the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts A/c and credited the account receivable account so that the correct posting can be done.

For the coming year, Loudermilk Inc. anticipates fixed costs of $600,000, a unit variable cost of $75, and a unit selling price
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

a) 4.800 units: Operational loss area (L)

12,000: Break even point (BEP)

$1,500,000: BEP

20,000 units: Operational profit area (P). Also, the maximum amount of units.

$2,500,000: Operational profit area (P). Also, the maximum amount of sales.

b) BEP: 12,000 units or $1,500,000 in sales.

Explanation:

The graph is divided in two sections:

1 - The operational loss area (L)

2 - The operational profit area (P)

The interface between both regions is the breakeven point.

a) 4.800 units: Operational loss area (L)

12,000: Break even point (BEP)

$1,500,000: BEP

20,000 units: Operational profit area (P). Also, the maximum amount of units.

$2,500,000: Operational profit area (P). Also, the maximum amount of sales.

b) The breakeven point is where sales equal total cost (or the level at which profits are zero). This breakeven point (BEP) is at 12,000 units:

BEP=\frac{FC}{price-VC} =\frac{600,000}{125-75}=\frac{600,000}{50}=12,000

This corresponds to $1,500,000 in sales.

S_{BEP}=125*12,000=1,500,000

Lynna [10]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, The complete question with options should be;

When Sebastian wrote the contract with BP for over two billion dollars, he included targets for performance that had to be met before a payment would be released. Sebastian was trying to avoid ________bias.

A. overconfidence

B. escalation of commitment

C. sunk-cost

D. framing

E. hindsight

The answer is

B. Escalation of commitment

Explanation:

Escalation of commitment is a human behavior pattern in which an individual or group facing increasingly negative outcomes from a decision, action, or investment regardless continues the behavior instead of changing the course.

It simply means the irrational behaviour of investing additional resources to a project that is failing.

These resources could be time, energy and money that an individual continue to invest into a falling and sinking venture or business

So, in this situation, before releasing the payment, Sebastian ensures that the targets should be met for the performance. He is avoiding the situation of escalation of commitment bias of him continuing to release or invest money into an already failing contract.

REI has a 100% satisfaction guarantee on its items. It allows customers to return products up to one year after purchase. This i
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: risk

Explanation: 100% satisfaction guarantee is a statement that if a customer of a product (or service) is not satisfied with the item purchased, then the producer will offer a full refund back to the customer. In this case REI allows this option for a period of up to 1 year after the sale was made.

REI utilises this option in an effort to reduce costs attributed to risk. For customers, this is a powerful tool as they are allowed to try the product, while knowing that if they don't like it then they can return it for a full refund. For REI, it increases customer trust as it allows customers to believe that the product is worth the sales price. It also reduces risk as REI is able to test the product out to actual customers and get a feel for if they like it, and what can be improved if needed.
