The correct answer is Journalism

Explanation:

Journalism is one of the careers that most require the use of communicative and research skills. This is because journalists are expected to gather information about important local, national and global events, which requires the use of research skills, and later they are expected to communicate the information precisely, concisely, and confidently, which requires the use of communicative skills. In this context, the career Sam is preparing for is journalism because this is the only one from the options that would require Sam to research and then communicate information confidently.

Answer:

There is no reason not to include these process measures in the employee performance evaluations.

The method of appraisal which is being deployed here is very result-oriented rather than task-oriented. Result-oriented performance appraisals help employees to focus on the result while carrying out their task. When setting these objectives, employer and employee usually agree to the terms during a joint consultative session.

Instead of measuring how much work has been done, it measures how much the employees has contributed to the desired effects for which the work was created.

In management parlance, this type of performance measurement/appraisal is called: Management by Objectives methods of Performance Appraisal.

Answer:

a. Total overhead = $294,720 + $24 × machine hours

b. Total overhead = $137,040 + $0.05 × Kilowatt-hours

c. The kilowatt-hours was the best predictor for July

Explanation:

High low method is used to separate the variable cost and fixed costs elements in a Semi-Variable Cost item.

machine-hours as cost driver.

First find the 2 points : the High and the Low

High Point : March

Machine-hours = 4,680

Total Overhead = $ 407,040

Low Point : June

Machine-hours = 3,720

Total Overhead = $ 384,000

Next find the Difference in the overhead cost and the cost driver of the 2 points

Overheads = $23,040

Machine-hours = 960

Find the Variable cost element

Variable cost = difference in overhead / difference in cost driver

= $23,040 / 960

= $24

Find the Fixed Cost Element.

Fixed Cost = Total Overhead - Variable Overhead

selecting the high point, this will be :

= $ 407,040 - (4,680 × $24)

= $294,720

Determine the Cost function

Total overhead = $294,720 + $24 × machine hours

machine-hours as cost driver.

First find the 2 points : the High and the Low

High Point : March

Kilowatt-hours = 5,400,000

Total Overhead = $ 407,040

Low Point : June

Kilowatt-hours = 4,944,000

Total Overhead = $ 384,000

Next find the Difference in the overhead cost and the cost driver of the 2 points

Overheads = $23,040

Kilowatt-hours = 456,000

Find the Variable cost element

Variable cost = difference in overhead / difference in cost driver

= $23,040 / 456,000

= $0.05

Find the Fixed Cost Element.

Fixed Cost = Total Overhead - Variable Overhead

selecting the high point, this will be :

= $ 407,040 - (5,400,000 × $0.05)

= $137,040

Determine the Cost function

Total overhead = $137,040 + $0.05 × Kilowatt-hours

Apply the machine hours for july

Total overhead = $294,720 + $24 × machine hours

= $294,720 + $24 × 4,000

= $390,720

Apply kilowatt-hours for july

Total overhead = $137,040 + $0.05 × Kilowatt-hours

= $137,040 + $0.05 × 4,550,000

= $364,540

Conclusion :

The kilowatt-hours was the best predictor for July

Last month, you lent a work colleague $5000 to cover some overdue bills. He agreed to pay you in 1 month with interest at 2% for

faust18 [17]

Answer:

There are at least 2 opportunity costs associated with of letting your colleague have another month:

if you invested in the oil-well venture, you could have earned $5,100 x 36% = $1,836 in one year
if you invested in the new IT stock, you could have earned $5,100 x 48% = $2,448 in one year

You could invest in one of these options, or divide your money and invest in both options, e.g. invest $2,000 in the oil company and $3,000 in the IT company. Each different investment proportion results in a different opportunity cost.

Explanation:

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs associated to carrying out an investment or activity instead of another alternative. Sometimes you might have several opportunity costs for one investment, e.g. invest in the IT company which is risky, invest in corporate bonds which is less risky or invest in US securities which is a safe investment.

The manager of a canned-food processing plant has two labeling machine options. on the basis of a rate of return analysis with a marr of 20% per year, determine (a) which model is economically better, and (b) if the selection changes, provided both options have a 4-year life and all other estimates remain the same.

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

First, compare the present values (PV) of all the expenses of all the investments to make an investment decision.

Given the formula of PV = ((C1/(1+r)1) + ((C2/(1+r)2) + ((C3/(1+r)3) +…….+ ((Cn/(1+r)n) + present value of investment – present value of the salvage value

Where, Cn equals to the expense incurred in the nth period and r is the rate of interest per period.

Therefore, for Machine A, present value of the expenses is

= ((1600/(1+0.20)1) + ((1600/(1+0.20)2) + 15,000 – ((3000/(1+0.20)2)

= 1333.33 + 1111.11 + 15000 – 2083.33

= 15361.11

For Machine B, present value of the expenses is

= ((400/(1+0.20)1) + ((400/(1+0.20)2) + ((400/(1+0.20)3) + ((400/(1+0.20)4) + 25,000 - ((4000/(1+0.20)2)

= 333.33 + 277.77 + 25,000 – 2777.77

= 22833.33

Therefore, it is shown that, Machine A is the least cost alternative and should be selected.
