True Nutri Inc. sells performance enhancing foods and beverages for athletes and health-conscious people. In a recent product development meeting, Mike suggested that True Nutri Inc. should acquire a new technology developed by One Health Corp. for infusing vitamin and mineral blends into food. He believed it would be easier to acquire the technology directly from One Health Corp. Justin felt that the method of infusing blends into food should be developed within True Nutri Inc. itself. He knows it may take longer but feels that the competitive advantage it would provide was worth the wait. Lara suggested that True Nutri Inc. should use its resources and work jointly with One Health Corp. to develop an entirely new product.
Based on the scenario, which method of acquiring technology does Justin favor?
a. internal development
b. licensing
c. contracted development
d. franchising
e. research partnership
Answer: a. internal development
Explanation:
Internal development is a method of growth and development that is done by using the resources of the company instead of relying on takeovers or acquisitions.
Justin wants True Nutri Inc to develop the tech itself without acquiring it from One Health Corp so he has an Internal Development mindset. Benefits of Internal Development include the development of a competitive advantage and increased efficiency which Justin hopes can benefit the company.

Suppose that per-unit costs for Alpha-Zeta Co. are $25 when they are producing 50,000 units. Now suppose that the firm increases production to 50,100 units and total costs are $2,000,000 at that level of production. Question: What is occurring as the firm increases production from 50,000 to 50,100 units?
Answer:
Diseconomies of scale due to the fact that per unit cost increased from $25 to $39.92
Explanation:
Economies is scale is when a larger production is a product leads to reduced cost of production.
For example if production of 1,000 units of a good costs $20 per unit, but production of 1,500 units goes for $17. The cost of production per unit reduces. So there is economies of scale.
In the given scenario production of 5,000 units is at $25 per unit.
While at 5,100 units it is (2,000,000 ÷ 50,100) = $39.92
So this is a diseconomies of scale.

On June 30, 20X1, a tornado damaged Jensen Corporation’s warehouse and factory, completely destroying the work-in-process inventory. Neither the raw materials nor finished goods inventories were damaged. A physical inventory taken after the tornado revealed the following valuations:
Raw materials $87,000
Work-in-process 0
Finished goods 151,000
$238,000
The inventory of January 1, 20X1, consisted of the following:
Raw materials $41,000
Work-in-process 128,000
Finished goods 173,000
$342,000
A review of the books and records disclosed that the gross profit margin historically approximated 28% of sales. The sales total for the first six months of 20X1 was $405,000. Raw material purchases totaled $150,000. Direct labor costs for this period were $112,000, and manufacturing overhead has historically been applied at 50% of direct labor.
Required:
Compute the value of the work-in-process inventory lost at June 30, 20X1.
Answer:
$130,400
Explanation:
Raw material transferred to WIP = Beginning balance + Purchase - Closing balance = $41,000 + $150,000 - $87,000 = $104,000
Cost of Goods manufactured = Closing balance + Cost of goods sold - Beginning balance
Cost of Goods manufactured = $151,000 + $405,000*70% - $173,000 = $151,000 + $291,600 - $173,000
Cost of Goods manufactured = $269,000
Ending Work in Process = Beginning balance + Direct material + Direct labor - Manufacturing overheads - Cost of goods manufactured
Ending Work in Process = $128,000 + $104,000 + $112,000 + $112,000*50% - $269,600
Ending Work in Process = $128,000 + $104,000 + $112,000 + $56,000 - $269,600
Ending balance of Work in Process = $130,400
Assume that you are part of the accounting team for Logan Digital. The company currently expects to sell 362 units for total revenue of $16,300 each month. Logan Digital estimates direct materials costs of $3,150, direct labor costs of $4,200, variable overhead costs of $2,100, and variable selling and administrative costs of $1,050. Fixed costs of $4,800 are also expected, which includes fixed overhead and selling and administrative costs. Using this information, complete the contribution margin income statement shown below.
Logan Digital is examining cost behavior patterns. Your recommendation is to first determine the break-even point in units. First, calculate the contribution margin (CM) per unit (rounded to the nearest dollar).
Next, complete the formula below to determine the break-even units.
Total Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin per Unit = Units
A profit-volume graph helps managers to visualize the relationship between profits and units sold. The data for Logan Digital has been used to construct the profit-volume graph below. The purple points (diamond symbols) plot the profit line. The operating loss is the shaded area bordered by the red points (cross symbols). The operating profit is the area bounded by the green points (triangle symbols). Graph the correct profit-value graph.
APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Effect of Changes to Sales Price, Variable Costs and Fixed Costs
Now consider each of the following scenarios for Logan Digital. Calculate the contribution margin (CM) per unit, rounded to nearest dollar, and the new break-even point in units, rounded to the nearest whole unit, for each scenario separately.
Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3
Logan will dispose of a machine in the factory. The depreciation on that equipment is $500 per month. After some extensive market research, Logan has determined that a sales price increase of $2 per unit will not affect the sales volume and will be effective immediately. Logan has been experiencing quality problems with a materials supplier. Changing suppliers will improve the quality of the product but will cause direct materials costs to increase by $1 per unit.

denver company issued bonds with a face value of 100,000 and stated interest rate of 8%. the bonds have a life of five years and were sold at 102 1/2. if denver amoritizes discounts and premiums using the straight line method, the amount of interest expense each full year would be
Answer:
$7,500
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of interest expense each full year
First step is to calculate the the annual interest
Annual interest =$ 8,000
($100,000*8%)
Second step is to calculate the premium paid
Premium paid=$ 2,500
($ 100,000 * 2.5%)
Third step is to calculate the Amortization of premium
Amortization of premium=$500
( $2,500 / 5years )
Last step is to calculate the interest expenses using this formula
Interest expenses=Annual interest-Amortization of premium
Let plug in the formula
Interest expenses ($8,000 - $500 )
Interest expenses= $ 7,500
Therefore the amount of interest expenses each full year would be $7,500

Explanation:
Case ScenarioOver the past four years, the LSS organization, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, has become renowned nationally for its Camp Noah project. Following floods, tornadoes or other weather emergencies, children lose their daily routine, their schools and oftentimes their homes. Parents are often stressed and unavailable during emergencies, and children have few resources to help them understand their situation. In Camp Noah, volunteers with skills in child psychology and counseling meet in a two day support group environment with children in flood ravaged areas. They encourage the children to share their stories and develop important resiliency skills and learn how to cope emotionally with the disaster.Due to the need for such services, LSS has developed a training system that lets them partner with resource organizations located near flood or tornado areas. They have partnered with many local organizations around the U.S. to train, equip and empower volunteers to staff local camps attended by children during their summer vacation. LSS also provides pre-packaged Camp Noah supplies that range from workbooks, crayons and puppets to a quilt for each child.Recently, powerful rainstorms in southeastern France triggered flash flooding that displaced more than 1000 families, and left 200,000 people without electricity for more than two weeks. City officials in France called the LSS Director of Camp Noah Services, Chris Walker, and asked if she could provide training and equip 20 volunteers in southeastern France to deliver the Camp Noah curriculum to up to 500 children. The French officials have asked that a decision to proceed be made within 2 weeks, and that the training and they want the equipment be delivered 6 weeks after the decision is made. Chris Walker wants to help but isn’t sure how to start. Currently, Camp Noah supplies are all written in English, and the counselor training documents are only written in English as well. The floods occurred in an area of France that has few English speakers.You are a contract employee who has been engaged to help LSS because you speak French fluently and because you are an expert, experienced project manager with great interpersonal skills. Your job is to assist the director, Chris Walker, during project initiation. If the project is approved, you may be asked to lead the remainder of the project as well. You and Chris have been in meetings together all day discussing the opportunity for a French Camp Noah. You’ve been listening very carefully and asking dozens of questions about the potential effort. Now, you’re ready to get started and put your considerable project management skills and knowledge to work.Questions based on above scenario and answer need to be 1/2 page long:1. Is this (or will this be) a project or operations? Justify your choice.2. What process group is this project currently in? How do you know?3. As an experienced project manager, you are aware that analyzing the environment in which a project operates is critically important. Select two (2) OPA and two (2) EEF that you believe are important to understand for this project. Apply these to the case scenario and justify why the four items you selected are important. 4. Once the decision is made to proceed with the project, Chris Walker, the director, will need to select a project manager. You know that LSS is a strong-matrix org. What does this mean in terms of how the project will be conducted and the role of the project manager? (5. You and Chris Walker, the director, will work on trying to define what project success will look like as you define the project objectives. What should you keep in mind about the process of writing objectives? Why are good statements of project objectives important to project success?
Answer and Explanation:
1. This is a project because it is carefully planned and follows a series of tasks to achieve a particular goal
2. Project is at initiation stage. It is yet to be approved and discussions are still on
3. Two organizational process assets (OPA) are : checklist, lessons database. Two Enterprise environmental factors(EEF): Organization management, group performance. EEF enable project managers understand their environment and factors that influence the project which may be beyond their control. OPAs here will enable organization learn from the knowledge base and everything other thing already acquired by management that can be used in the project or from projects initially executed by organization
4. Since LLS is a matrix organization(answering to both functional head and project manager), employees involved in the project would answer to project manager and project manager reports to functional head
5. The important to have in mind while writing project objectives is the goal of the project while considering threats and opportunities surrounding reaching the goal of the project. Clear objectives are important as they form guidelines to achieving project goal.

Last year Electric Autos had sales of $190 million and assets at the start of the year of $330 million. If its return on start-of-year assets was 15%, what was its operating profit margin
Answer:
2.61%
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the operating income
= ROE × assets
= 15/100 × $330,000,000
= 0.15 × $330,000,000
= $49,500,000
Therefore the operating profit margin can be calculated as follows
= operating income/sales
= $49,500,000/190,000,000
= 0.2605 × 100
= 2.61 %
Discuss MSOs corporate governance. Has the company been able to separate the ownership and managerial control
Answer:
The corporate governance of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia MSO has failed.
Explanation:
The reason for failure of corporate governance at MSO was the lack of transparency. The owner of the company was the largest shareholder. There was lack of separation of ownership and control in the company. The management of the company has not been effective in managing the operations and there were lack of internal controls in place. The company has gone to produce lower category products such as cleaning fluid and so, this has lead the company to deteriorate its brand image.

suppose that we are in butter market and the government implements an excise tax on butter. the price elasticity of demand for butter equals 2 and the price elasticity of supply for butter equals 2. what is the portion of the tax that consumers will be burdened with? is this realistic given the market we are in?
Answer:
Portion of tax burden shared by buyers (consumers) & sellers will be equal, ie half half each.
Explanation:
When an indirect tax, whose burden & incidence are on different people, (like excise tax) is levied : Its burden is borne more by buyers if demand is relatively more inelastic (or less elastic), & more by sellers if supply is relatively less inelastic (or less elastic).
Given, price elasticity of demand & supply both = 2 respectively. So, excise tax burden is shared by both buyer & sellers equally, as both demand & supply are equally price elastic.
The readings suggest there are certain strategies for pricing new products, which is decidedly more difficult than adjusting prices to existing products. The new product pricing approaches are:
Skimming
Penetration
Everyday low prices
The pricing approaches discussed for existing products are:
Cost plus
Markup
Markdown
Odd-even pricing
Prestige pricing
Price lining
Demand backward pricing
Leader pricing
Sealed bid pricing
Going-rate pricing
Price bundling
Captive pricing
Product mix pricing
Two-part pricing
Promotional pricing
There is no shortage of pricing approaches, and as customers, we are exposed to all of them at some time or another in our purchasing processes.
Choose one of the pricing approaches and discuss the product, the pricing approach, and why you think it is the most appropriate approach for that particular product given your consumer characteristics. Be sure you understand the definition of your approach before tackling this topic.
Many of you will be tempted to use promotional pricing since it is the easiest to demonstrate. So promotional pricing is not "for sale" (pun intended). Pick one of the other approaches for this topic.
Answer:
Strategy - Prestige Pricing
Product - Female Bags
Explanation:
Another term for this is Premium Pricing or Image Pricing.
It's a pricing strategy where a product's price is set very high in order to create the impression that it is of very high quality. This strategy is mostly used if it is discovered that keeping the prices low will discourage sales or at best leave it dormant.
In order to use this strategy successfully, the manufacturers always take particular care to differentiate the product by including additional features to the product such as using high-quality materials.
The target market for this product is usually the influencers and love to show off. In order words, they are more particular about their image.
For this strategy to work, the manufacturer has to be consistent in the brand positioning and pay exceptional attention to fine details and finishing. It is also important to target consumers with high spending ability.
A real-world example of a business that uses this strategy is Nike.

Humana Hospital Corporation installed a new MRI machine at a cost of $780,000 this year in its medical professional clinic in Cedar Park. This state-of-the-art system is expected to be used for 5 years and then sold for $100,000. Humana uses a return requirement of 24% per year for all of its medical diagnostic equipment. As a bioengineering student currently serving a Co-op semester on the management staff of Humana Corporation in Louisville, Kentucky, you are asked to determine the minimum revenue required each year to realize the expected recovery and return.
a. What is your answer?
b. If the AOC is expected to be $80,000 per year, what is the total revenue required to provide for recovery of capital, the 25% return, and the annual expenses?
c. Write the spreadsheet functions to display your answers.
Answer:
A) $277824
B) $357824
C) 80000 - PMT(25%,5,780000,0) + PMT ( 25%,5,0, - 100000 )
Explanation:
MRI machine cost = $780000
Salvage value of the MRI machine = $100000
Return requirement = 25% per year
A) Determine the the minimum revenue required each year to realize the expected recovery and return
Principal cost ( p )= $780000
salvage value ( S ) = $100000
i = 25%
n = 5 years
Minimum revenue per year
CR = - 780000 ( A / P , 25%,5 ) + 100000( A/P , 24%,5)
= - 780000 ( 0.3718 ) + 100000 ( 0.1218 )
= - 290004 + 12180 = -$277824
which means the minimum revenue required each year = $277824
B) If AOC = $80000
The total revenue required = $80000 + $277824
= $357824
C) spreadsheet functions to display answers
80000 - PMT(25%,5,780000,0) + PMT ( 25%,5,0, - 100000 )

Stress costs organizations an estimated $30 billion a year in lost productivity, and hundreds of billions a year if you include health care costs and absenteeism.

Penetration Pricing:
It is the marketing approach that consists of a strategy to insert a new product in the market offering lower prices.
This strategy would help a new company, for example, to enter the market and already achieve good demand for its products and services, in addition to this strategy being a barrier of entry for new competitors.
Penetration pricing is the most appropriate marketing strategy for companies that need to reach a market place and reach a large number of people, which is achieved when offering a product with quality and benefits that can create consumer needs for customers, which makes it possible for the company to fulfill its objective and then be able to establish itself in the market and then increase prices so that the demand for the products is maintained.
This strategy is generally used by retailers and organizations that offer products offered in bulk, such as food, cosmetics, automobiles, etc.

What is a dividend?A dividend is a payment made by a corporation to its shareholders that is decided by the board of directors. Dividend payments are frequently made quarterly and might take the form of cash payments or stock reinvestments.
The dividend yield, which is the dividend per share, is expressed as a percentage of the share price of a company, for example, 2.5%. If a common shareholder of a dividend-paying company owns the stock on the ex-dividend date or earlier, they are eligible to receive a distribution.
By using their voting powers, shareholders must approve dividends. Despite the fact that stock dividends are less prevalent than cash dividends, they are still a possibility. Different exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds also provide dividends.
