to make assumptions about what’s in the other person’s head, and stereotypes help me do that," she explains.

Discuss the merits of and problems with the manager’s statement.

Answer: Stereotypes can have positive (merits) and negative (problems) traits attached to it.

Explanation:

A stereotype is an over generalized, predetermined belief about a category of individuals.

Merits:

Stereotypes can help to make a perception of someone, thus filling in missing information about that person.

Stereotypes can also place individuals into certain pre - established groups, which help to organize info much more efficiently.

Stereotypes can allow one to respond to problems quicker by applying past experiences that may seem similar to the current situation.

Problems:

Generalizations about people are made, as their differences are ignored and assumptions about them are created.

Stereotypes can create employee discrimination. This is when an employee is treated differently because of a certain category that they belong to.

Stereotypes can also make it difficult for people to change their perceptions of a person with regards to qualities that may be in conflict with the stereotype.

bogdanovich [222]

Complete Question:

Goldfarb's Book and Music Store has two service departments, Warehouse and Data Center. Warehouse Department costs of $310,000 are allocated on the basis of budgeted warehouse -hours. Data Center Department costs of $100,000 are allocated based on the number of computer log-on hours. The costs of operating departments Music and Books are $102,500 and $123,000, respectively. Data on budgeted warehouse-hours and number of computer log-on hours are as follows: Production Departments Support Departments Warehouse Data Center Department Department Music Books Budgeted costs Budgeted warehouse-hours Number of computer hours $310,000 NA 270 $100,000 520 NA $102,50 0 1080 900 $123,00 0 1590 1020 Using the step-down method, what amount of Warehouse Department cost will be allocated to Department Music if the service department with the highest percentage of interdepartmental support service is allocated first? (Do not round any intermediate calculations.) A) $34,702 B) $125,393 C) $33,856 D) $104,953

Answer:

Goldfarb's Book and Music Store

Amount of warehouse department cost allocated to department music is:

D) $104,953

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                       Support Departments      Production Departments

                                      Warehouse   Data Center      Music        Books

Budgeted costs                $310,000      $100,000     $102,500   $123,000

Budgeted warehouse-hours  NA             520              1,080           1,590

Number of computer hours    270           NA                 900            1,020

b) Allocation of Warehouse costs:

Basis for allocation is budgeted warehouse hours:

Data Center = 520

Music =         1,080

Books =        1,590

Total hours  3,190

Allocation of Warehouse cost to Music:

1,080/3,190 * $310,000 = $104,953

b) The step-down method for allocating the manufacturing overheads of service departments to the production departments involves first allocating one service department's cost to the production departments and other service departments in a step-down manner.  After all service departments' costs have been so allocated, there is some re-allocation which then eliminates the costs of some departments.  This continues until all service departments' costs are allocated.  It is unlike the direct method which allocates one service department costs without allocating them to another service department.

salantis [7]

Answer:

B. 9.0 times.

Explanation:

Accounts Receivable Turnover (ART) = Net credit sales/ Average accounts receivable

Net credit sales = <em>$7,200,000</em>

Average accounts receivable  = (beginning AR - ending AR) /2

Average Accounts receivable = ($820,000 + $780,000)/2

Average AR = <em>$800,000</em>

Therefore Accounts receivable turnover = $7,200,000/800,000 = 9.0 times

fomenos

Answer:

"Pursuit of monopoly power" is the correct solution,

Explanation:

  • Antitrust laws in the United States discourage monopolies and whatever other practices which unduly restrict competitor's commerce. The form of trade restriction shown by this illustration is the acquisition of monopoly control.

Paul [167]

Answer:

the answer for the first question is $166667.

the answer for the second question is $210526

the answer for the third question is An inverse.

Explanation:

given information that i will invest in a $10000 scholarship that will pay forever.

the interest rate charged is 6.00% per annum therefore this is a perpetuity present value problem where there is streams of income forever therefore we use the formula :

Pv of perpetuity= Cf/r

where Cr is the cash flows payed by the single investment forever in this case $10000 then r is the interest rate of the investment amount which is 6% in this case.

Pv of Perpetuity= $10000/6%

                           =$166667 therefore i must invest this amount to get the scholarship running with streams of $10000 forever.

in the second problem if now the interest rate is changed from 6% to 4.75% then the amount to be invested would be :

Pv of perpetuity = $10000/4.75%

                              =$210526 therefore this is the amount to be invested for a forever $10000 stream of incomes for a scholarship.

the relationship is indirect cause as the interest rate decreases the present value of the perpetuity that must be invested increases.
