Answer: Your question is incomplete below is the missing part
missing question : Calculate the between-group sum of squares
Answer : 46.8
Explanation:
Given data :
N = 5 for each group
First step : determine the grand mean value
∑ mean values / number of groups = ( 7.4 + 4.4 + 8.6 ) / 3 = 6.8
Finally the between-group sum of squares
= N ( mean A - Grand mean )^2 + N( mean B - Grand mean)^2 + N( mean C -grand mean )^2
= 5 ( 7.4 - 6.8)^2 + 5( 4.4 - 6.8 )^2 + 5( 8.6 - 6.8 )^2
≈ 46.8

Jonathon Maine is the inventory control manager of the Aucetics Company. In 2020, the annual demand for product X was 7500 units, and the order quantity Q was set to be 535 units per order. Jonathon Maine is planning for next year inventory. The annual demand of product X is expected to remain the same (7500 units per year). Utilizing the EOQ model, if Jonathon changes the order quantity Q to 680 units per order, the total annual ordering cost wil:__________
Answer:
decrease
Explanation:
The ordering quantity for the current year is 535 units, this means that the company must make 7,500 / 535 = 14.02 orders.
If the ordering quantity increases to 680, the number of orders will be 7,500/ 680 = 11.03.
Regardless of how much it costs to place an order, the number of orders made is 3 less than in the previous year, therefore, the ordering costs must decrease.
One day, while Barbara was parking her car at the mall, she backed into another car. She got out of her car to see what happened. The other driver was not there at the time. Barbara could not see any damage, so she continued on her way. Which of the following statements is true about this situation? Because there was no obvious damage, Barbara has no liability.

Describe the life cycle of a product and explain profitability and sales volume at each stage
Answer:
Product Life Cycle: Overview
The product life cycle (PLC) describes a product's life in the market with respect to business/commercial costs and sales measures. It proceeds through multiple phases, involves many professional disciplines and requires many skills, tools and processes.
This is not to say that product lives cannot be extended – there are many good examples of this – but rather, each product has a ‘natural’ life through which it is expected to pass.
The stages of the product life cycle are:
Introduction
Growth
Maturity
Decline
PLC management makes these three assumptions:
Products have a limited life and, thus, every product has a life cycle.
Product sales pass through distinct stages, each of which poses different challenges, problems and opportunities to its parent company.
Products will have different marketing, financing, manufacturing, purchasing and human resource requirements at the various stages of its life cycle.
The product life cycle begins with the introduction stage (see ). Just because a product successfully completes the launch stage and starts its life cycle, the company cannot take its success for granted.
image
Product Development and Product Life Cycle: The Product Life Cycle follows directly after new product development.
A company must succeed at both developing new products and managing them in the face of changing tastes, technologies and competition. A good product manager should find new products to replace those that are in the declining stage of their life cycles; learning how to manage products optimally as they move from one stage to the next.
Product Lifecycle Management Stage 1: Market Introduction
This stage is characterized by a low growth rate of sales as the product is newly launched and consumers may not know much about it. Traditionally, a company usually incurs losses rather than profits during this phase. Especially if the product is new on the market, users may not be aware of its true potential, necessitating widespread information and advertising campaigns through various media.
However, this stage also offers its share of opportunities. For example, there may be less competition. In some instances, a monopoly may be created if the product proves very effective and is in great demand.
Characteristics of the introduction stage are:
High costs due to initial marketing, advertising, distribution and so on.
Sales volumes are low, increasing slowly
There may be little to no competition
Demand must be created through promotion and awareness campaigns
Customers must be prompted to try the product.
Little or no profit is made owing to high costs and low sales volumes
Growth
During the growth stage, the public becomes more aware of the product; as sales and revenues start to increase, profits begin to accrue.

Charlie Plopp is selling a horse. If he does not sell the horse, then he gets no revenue. Three types of people are interested in buying the horse: professional cowboys who value the horse at $H, recreational riders who value the horse at $M, and glue factory representatives who value the horse at $L, where H>M>L. There are two buyers visiting Charlie's barn, and while Charlie can't tell what type of buyers they are, he knows that each one is independently and equally likely to be one of the three types. He is considering two methods of selling the horse: Method 1: He posts the horse at a price of $M. Method 2: He runs a sealed-bid auction and sells to the highest bidder at the second highest bid. Assume bidders bid rationally, and if a buyer is indifferent between buying and not buying, he buys. Charlie gets higher expected revenue from Method 2 if and only if which of the following conditions holds?
A) H+ 5L > SM
B) H+4L > 7M
C) 2H + 5M > 4M
D) H+ 5L <8M
E) H+ 5L <5M
Elfalan Corporation produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 53,000 units per month is as follows:
Per Unit
Direct materials $49.10
Direct labor $9.40
Variable manufacturing overhead $2.40
Fixed manufacturing overhead $19.90
Variable selling & administrative expense $4.40
Fixed selling & administrative expense $21.00
The normal selling price of the product is $112.10 per unit.
An order has been received from an overseas customer for 3,300 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $2.50 less per unit on this order than on normal sales. Suppose there is ample idle capacity to produce the units required by the overseas customer and the special discounted price on the special order is $89.40 per unit. The monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be: _________
a. ($67,000)
b. $22,110
c. $87,780
d. ($55,440)
Answer: $87780
Explanation:
The monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order will be calculated thus:
Sales = $295020
Less Cost:
Material = $162030
Labor = $31020
Variable manufacturing = $7920
Variable selling = $6720
Total cost = $207240
Financial Advantage = $295020 - $207240
= $87780

A product has an annual demand of 18,930 units. The unit price is $60 each and the ordering cost is $93. The store uses a yearly inventory holding cost of 34% of the unit price. They have decided to order 38 units every time they order, instead of the EOQ amount. What is the total annual cost of purchasing 38 units per order (purchasing, ordering, and holding)
Answer:
The total annual cost of purchasing 38 units per order (purchasing, ordering and holding) is:
= $1,568,301.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Annual demand = 18,930 units
Unit price = $60
Total purchasing cost = $1,135,800 ($60 * 18,930)
Ordering cost is $93 per order
Total ordering cost = $46,329 ($93 * (18,930/38))
Annual Holding cost = 34% of the unit price = $20.40 ($60 * 34%)
Total holding cost = $386,172 ($20.40 * 18,930)
The total annual cost:
Total purchasing cost = $1,135,800
Total ordering cost = $46,329
Total holding cost = $386,172
Total annual cost = $1,568,301

Let me give you an example of a segment addition problem that uses three points that asks the student to solve for x but has a solution x = 20.
First, I assumed values for each x, y and z and then manipulated their coefficients to get the total at the end of each equation.
20 + 10 +30 = 60
40 + 0 + 40 = 80
40 + 10 = 50
Then exchangeing these numbers into values and we have the following equation.
x + 2y + 3z = 60
2x + 4z = 80
2x + z = 50
If you will solve them m bcccbvqcve2anually by substituting their variables into these equations, you can get
x = 20
y = 5
z = 10

In 2019, Henry Jones (Social Security number 123-45-6789) works as a freelance driver, finding customers using various platforms like Uber and Grubhub. He is single and has no other sources of income. In 2019, Henry's qualified business income from driving is $61,200. Assume Henry takes the standard deduction of $12,200. Click here to access the 2019 individual tax rate schedule to use for this problem. Assume the QBI amount is net of the self-employment tax deduction.
Required:
a. Compute Henrys QBI deduction and his tax liability for 2019.
b. Complete Henry's 2019 Form 8995 (Qualified Business Income Deduction Simplified Computation).
Answer:
a. QBI Deduction = $9,800
Tax liability = $4,510
Explanation:
a. The BI deduction in 2019 was 20% of the qualified business income in excess of the standard deduction:
QBI deduction = (61,200 - 12,200) * 20%
= $9,800
We then use this to find the taxable income:
= Qualified business income - standard deduction - QBI deduction
= 61,200 - 12,200 - 9,800
= $39,200
Tax liability for a single person in 2019 as shown by the attached file is:
= 970 + 12% * (39,200 - 9,700)
= 970 + 3,540
= $4,510
b. Form not attached but the main item should be the taxable income which is calculated above.

Santos Unlimited (SU) was originally unlevered with 4200 shares outstanding. However, after a major financial restructure, SU now has $37000 of debt, with an annual interest expense of 8 percent. The restructuring has reduced the number of shares to 3800. A group of shareholders of SU are not convinced that this move towards adopting financial leverage is a good idea. Their main argument is that there is now some range of EBIT, however low, that will make the shareholders worse off than before.
Required:
Help understand the situation better by computing the level of earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) that would make shareholders indifferent between being unlevered (i.e. not having any debt) and levered (i.e. having debt). Assume a 34 percent corporate tax rate.
Answer:
Unlevered Levered
EAT EBIT * (1-t) EBIT - Interest - Tax
No. of shares 4,200 3,800
Payoff per share holder = EAT / Number of shares. At Indifference point, per share payoff should be equal in both cases
EBIT * 0.66 / 4,200 = (EBIT - (37,000*8%) * 0.66) / 3,800
0.66*EBIT / 4,200 = [0.66*EBIT - 2,960*0.66] / 3,800
3,800 * 0.66EBIT = 4,200*[0.66EBIT - 1,954]
2,508 EBIT = 2,772 EBIT - 8,206,800
2,772 EBIT - 2,508 EBIT = 8,206,800
264 EBIT = 8,206,800
EBIT = 8,206,800/264
EBIT = 31086.36363636364
EBIT = $31,086.36

2. For the fiscal year of 2017, Excel Sports Inc. had a net income of $255,000 and paid out $51,000 as common dividend. Meanwhile, the retained earnings in its 2017 Balance Sheet was $1,297,000. How much was the retained earnings in its 2016 Balance Sheet
Answer:
$1,093,000
Explanation:
Given the above information, retained earnings in the balance sheet for 2016 would be computed as;
Beginning retained earnings + Net income - Dividends = Ending retained earnings
Fixing in the values, then we'll have
Beginning retained earnings + $255,000 - $51,000 = $1,297,000
Beginning retained earnings = $1,297,000 - $255,000 + $51,000
Beginning retained earnings = $1,093,000
It therefore means that the sum of $1,093,000 is the retained earnings in Excel Sports Inc. 2016 balance sheet.
Which of the following distinguishes mediation from negotiation? Group of answer choices vested authority with a third party deciding the outcome of the dispute seeking a win-win outcome for involved parties being faster than litigation involved parties working toward a mutually acceptable solution involving a third party
Answer:
The correct answer is the last option: Involving a third party.
Explanation:
To begin with, the major difference between the terms of negotiation and mediation is that in the last one there is a third party involved that seeks for the most quickly and benefitial deal for the both parties that are discussing, while in the negotiation there is not a third party and the two parties existing seeks for their own benefits, even if that means to harm the other person in the process of getting the best for one of them. That is why that the mediation needs to use a third party that has to be impartial to the situation and only wants the best for the parties in the conflict.
Ryan estimates that he drove approximately 2,260 miles on business trips, but he can only provide written documentation of the business purpose for trips totaling 1,300 miles. Ryan uses the actual expense method. What business expense amount can Ryan deduct (if any) for these trips
Answer: $1,355.41
Explanation:
Business expense deductible:
= Adjusted Cost of gasoline + Depreciation
As Ryan can only provide documentation for 1,300 miles, this is what the deductible will be based on:
= (Cost of gasoline * Documented miles for business / Estimated miles for business) + (Depreciation * Documented miles for business / Total miles travelled)
= (1,920 * 1,300 / 2,260) + (3,900 * 1,300 / 20,200)
= $1,355.41

Marigold Company produces one product, a putter called GO-Putter. Marigold uses a standard cost system and determines that it should take one hour of direct labor to produce one GO-Putter. The normal production capacity for this putter is 100,000 units per year. The total budgeted overhead at normal capacity is $850,000 comprised of $300,000 of variable costs and $550,000 of fixed costs. Marigold applies overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. During the current year, Marigold produced 81,800 putters, worked 97,800 direct labor hours, and incurred variable overhead costs of $173,825 and fixed overhead costs of $642,300.
Required:
Compute the predetermined variable overhead rate and the predetermined fixed overhead rate.
Answer:
Marigold Company
Predetermined variable overhead rate:
= $3 per dlh
Predetermined fixed overhead rate:
= $5.50 per dlh
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Direct labor hour to produce one GO-Putter = 1 hour
Production capacity for GO-Putter = 100,000 units per year
Budgeted overhead costs:
Total overhead at normal capacity = $850,000
Variable overhead costs = $300,000
Fixed overhead costs = $550,000
Total estimated direct labor hours = 100,000 dlh (100,000 units * 1 hour)
Overhead application basis = Direct labor hours
Actual results:
Units of GO-Putters produced = 81,800
Direct labor hours used = 97,800
Variable overhead costs = $173,825
Fixed overhead costs = $642,300
Predetermined variable overhead rate:
= $300,000/100,000 = $3 per dlh
Predetermined fixed overhead rate:
= $550,000/100,000 = $5.50 per dlh
