Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
Pretax income = Contribution - Fixed cost
Contribution = Pretax income + Fixed cost
= $1,824,000 + $1,444,000
= $3,268,000
Sales - Variable Cost = Contribution
Variable Cost = Sales - Contribution
= (380,000 electric screwdrivers × $20.40 each) - $3,268,000
= $7,752,000 - $3,268,000
= $4,484,000
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the statement that is mislabeled as a performance example is "The system must automatically generate an insurance claim form." This is the only answer provided that does not deal with performance but instead is dealing with insurance claims that do not affect performance at all. Therefore this is the answer.
Answer:
hence investor's rate of return is 10.26%
Explanation:
Given data
time = 5 year
rate = 9%
coupon bond = $975
sell bond = $985
at time = 1 year
to find out
investor's rate of return
solution
we will find first here Coupon payment that is
Coupon payment = 9% of 1000 that is $90
so that we can say that coupon bond will be
975 = 90 / (1 + r ) + $985 / (1 + r )
solve here r we get r
rate r = 10.26 %
so
hence investor's rate of return is 10.26%
Answer:
fixed cost = 11.026,6
Explanation:
we will use the High-Low method to sovle for variable and fixed component of utilities:
We subtract the high form the low
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}High&2710&34712\\Low&2200&30255\\Diference&510&4457\\\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7DHigh%262710%2634712%5C%5CLow%262200%2630255%5C%5CDiference%26510%264457%5C%5C%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
510 hours generates 4,457 cost in utilities.
so variable cost:
4,457 / 210 = 8.74
Then we solve for fixed cost:
total cost = variable cost x Q + fixed cost
34,712 = 8.74(2,710) + fixed cost
fixed cost = 11.026,6
Answer:
1) This question is about whether diversification is good or bad for a large corporation. Whether diversification can be considered good or bad depends on the corporation itself, there is no one answer fits all. In this case, Sony is divided into 12 segments or divisions and each of them generates their own cash flows and offers their own products or services.
High tech companies generally tend to diversify a lot because they need to continuously produce innovative products or improve their existing ones. E.g. Google got so large and diversified that it turned into Alphabet which owns more than 200 companies (most of them through acquisitions). Sony's largest revenue sources are gaming services, financial services and home entertainment.
When we think about Sony we probably think about consumer electronics, the Playstation or even movies, but in order to be profitable, Sony had to expand and diversify. Sony's revenues are shifting from consumer electronics to services (including financial, gaming, network, music and movies), so that means that their diversification model actually worked.
2) Sony's goal with Future Lab is to create customer value and new lifestyles, whether they are able to do so depends on how well they work it out. Future Labs is based on San Francisco, and it should serve as a place where innovative prototypes should be tested by real users. The goal is that Sony can learn from actual real life user experiences in order to improve their products and services. The real life customers and users that want to participate in Sony's program must pay a fee for doing so, but they can also experience prototypes before anyone else.
