Answer:

Process-oriented.

Explanation:

A functional (departmental) organizational structure is a type of structure used to organize staffs by dividing them into various departments based on their skill set, roles or functions and knowledge.

These departments which are vertically structured may include, finance, IT, sales and marketing, research and development, customer service etc. Also, the various departments are headed by a functional manager who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing, managing and reporting to the executive management.

Similarly, a type of layout in the manufacturing process that features departments or other functional groupings in which similar activities are performed is generally referred to as being process-oriented.

One of the main advantages of a process-oriented layout is that it mitigates or reduces difficulties associated with material flow variability for a product.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

$56,000

Explanation:

Given the above information, we will calculate first the total cash flow.

Total cash flow = Opening cash receivable + Sales - Ending cash receivables

= $196,000 + $880,000 - $226,000

= $850,000

Ending cash balance = Opening cash balance + Total cash flow - Cash disbursement

= $146,000 + $850,000 - $940,000

= $56,000

Nadine Chelesvig has patented her invention. She is offering a potential manufacturer two contracts for the exclusive right to m

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The uniform annual sales volume of the product for Nadine to be indifferent between the contracts is 7,772 units per year.

Explanation:

We have to compare the present-value of both plans to answer this question.

The Plan A has a present value of $30,000 as is an inmediate payment.

The Plan B has both an annual payment and a royalty, for a span of ten years.

The present value for Plan B is:

$PV_b=\sum_{i=1}^{10}(1000+0.50q)/(1+i)^i$

This can be simplified with a annuity factor for 10 years, with i=10%.

$A_{10}=\frac{1-(1+i)^{-10}}{i}= \frac{1-1.1^{-10}}{0.10}\\\\A_{10}=\frac{1-0.386}{0.10}=\frac{0.614}{0.10}=6.14$

Then, the PV can be calculated as:

$PV_b=6.14(1,000+0.50q)\\\\PV_b=6,140+3.07q$

To be indifferent, both present values have to be equal:

$PV_b=PV_a\\\\6,140+3.07q=30,000\\\\q=(30,000-6,140)/3.07=23,860/3.07=7,772$

The uniform annual sales volume of the product for Nadine to be indifferent between the contracts is 7,772 units per year.

Explanation:

given data

accept a salary = $60,000

salary = $25,000

bonus = 20% of net income

to find out

amount of income would be necessary so that Maxwell would consider

solution

we get here income by bonus that is express as

bonus = 2 ( income - bonus - salary ) ..............1

3500 = 2 ( income - ( 0.2 × 35000 ) - ( 0.2 × (75000 + 35000) )

solve it we get

income = $310000

so Maxwell world consider choice equal to $310000
