Answer:
national borders.
Explanation:
Globalization can be defined as the strategic process which involves the integration of various markets across the world to form a large global marketplace.
Basically, globalization makes it possible for various organizations to produce goods and services that is used by consumers across the world.
On a related note, the saturation of domestic (local) markets in the industrialized parts of the world has forced many companies into searching for better marketing opportunities beyond their national borders or shores of their country.
This ultimately implies that, as a result of having too many businesses in domestic (local) markets, many businesses have looked outwardly in search of better marketing opportunities by exporting their goods and services to foreign countries.
Export typically involves the sales of goods produced in a domestic country to a foreign country.
An employee on the Internet-facing part of a company's website submits a 20-character phrase in a small textbox on a web form. The website returns a message back to the browser stating Error: Table 'advprofile' entry into column 'Inane' has exceeded number of allowed characters. Error saving database information. Of which of the following is this an example?
A. Resource exhaustion
B. Buffer overflow
C. Improperly configured account Improper error handing
Answer:
(B) Buffer Overflow
Explanation:
The description in the question is an example of a Buffer Overflow. This is also called a Buffer Overrun.
As the question depicts, the employee input more characters than was required in the text box. The text box was programmed to allow a more limited number of characters; maybe 15, 12, 18, etc but not up to 20.
A buffer is a storage space that holds data temporarily while it's being transported to a new space. An overrun on the buffer will occur if or when the inputed data exceeds the storage capacity of the buffer.
This overrun can cause the program to crash or access errors to develop; like the errors displayed in the question.

Operating expenses 55,240 53,240
Net earnings 27,820 19,820
Answer:
Year 1 56%
Year 2 55%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the Year 1 and Year 2 common size percentages for cost of goods sold using Net sales as the base.
Year 1
Using this formula
Common size percentage for cost of goods sold for year 1 = Cost of good sold/Net sales
Let plug in the formula
Common size percentage for cost of goods sold for year 1= 129,590/231,400
Common size percentage for cost of goods sold for year 1= 56%
Year 2
Using this formula
Common size percentage for cost of goods sold for year 2 = Cost of good sold/Net sales
Let plug in the formula
Common size percentage for cost of goods sold for year 2 = 151,900/276,200
Common size percentage for cost of goods sold for year 2 = 55%
Therefore the Year 1 and Year 2 common size percentages for cost of goods sold using Net sales as the base is :Year 1 56% and Year 2 55%
Dilts Company has a unit selling price of $400, unit variable costs of $250, and fixed costs of $210,000. Compute the break-even point in units using (a) the mathematical equation and (b) unit contribution margin.
Answer:
(a) Break-even point in units using the mathematical equation = 1,400 units
(b) Break-even point in units using unit contribution margin = 1,400 units
Explanation:
(a) Break-even point in units using the mathematical equation
Break-even point in units using the mathematical equation = Fixed costs / (Unit selling price - Unit variable costs) …………….. (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
Break-even point in units using the mathematical equation = $210,000 / ($400 - $250) = 1,400 units
(b) Break-even point in units using unit contribution margin
Unit contribution margin = Unit selling price - Unit variable costs = $400 - $250 = $150
Therefore, we have:
Break-even point in units using unit contribution margin = Fixed costs / Unit contribution margin = = $210,000 / $50 = 1,400 units
Item2 1 points Time Remaining 59 minutes 39 seconds00:59:39 Item 2 Time Remaining 59 minutes 39 seconds00:59:39 Crimson Inc. recorded credit sales of $755,000, of which $500,000 is not yet due, $180,000 is past due for up to 180 days, and $75,000 is past due for more than 180 days. Under the aging of receivables method, Crimson Inc. expects it will not collect 5% of the amount not yet due, 19% of the amount past due for up to 180 days, and 28% of the amount past due for more than 180 days. The allowance account had a debit balance of $2,800 before adjustment. After adjusting for bad debt expense, what is the ending balance of the allowance account
Answer:
$83,000
Explanation:
The computation of the ending balance of the allowance account is given below:
Given that
Accounts receivable not yet due be $500,000
So, the bad debt for the same should be
= 5% of $500,000
= $25,000
Accounts receivable due for upto 180 days be $180,000
So, the bad debts for the same should be
= 19% of $180,000
= $34,200
Accounts recievable due for more than 180 days be $75,000
So, the bad debts for the same should be
= 28% of $75,000
= $21,000
Now
Ending balance of Allowance aoount is
= $2,800 + $25,000 + $34,200 + $21,000
= $83,000
EcoFabrics has budgeted overhead costs of $1,162,350. It has allocated overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (wool and cotton) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 553,500 for the current year.

If the margin of safety for Canace Company was 25%, fixed costs were $1,419,375, and variable costs were 75% of sales, what was the amount of actual sales (dollars)? (Hint: Determine the break-even in sales dollars first.) $fill in the blank 3
Answer:
Canace Company
a-1) Margin of safety is:
= $256,500.
a-2) Margin of safety is:
= 55%.
b) The amount of actual sales is:
= $5,677,500.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Break-even point sales = $313,500
Actual sales = $570,000
Margin of safety = $256,500 ($570,000 - $313,500)
Margin of safety as a percentage of sales = 55% ($313,500/$570,000 * 100)
2) Margin of safety = 25%
Fixed costs = $1,419,375
Break-even point in sales dollars = $1,419,375
Variable costs = 75% of sales
Contribution margin at break-even point = 25% (100% - 75%) = $1,419,375
Actual sales in dollars = $5,677,500 ($1,419,375/25%)

Flapjack Corporation had 7,736 actual direct labor hours at an actual rate of $12.10 per hour. Original production had been budgeted for 1,100 units, but only 961 units were actually produced. Labor standards were 7.8 hours per completed unit at a standard rate of $13.21 per hour. The direct labor rate variance is:______.
Answer: $8,586.96 Favorable
Explanation:
Direct Labor Rate Variance = Actual Cost - Standard Cost of Actual Hours
Actual cost = Actual direct labor hours * Actual rate
= 7,736 * 12.10
= $93,605.60
Standard cost of actual hours = Actual hours * Standard cost
= 7,736 * 13.21
= $102,192.56
Direct labor rate variance:
= 93,605.60 - 102,192.56
= $8,586.96 Favorable
Favorable because actual cost was less than the budgeted standard cost.
Charlie's brother, Alexander, also consumes apples (A) and bananas (B). Alexander's utility function happens to be U(A, B) = 5A + 2B.
(a) Alexander has 40 apples and 5 bananas. The indifference curve through (40, 5) also include bundle ( _____ , 2).
(b) Alexander has 40 apples and 5 bananas. With this bundle, Alexander would like to give up _____ apple(s) for a banana.
Solution :
[tex]U(A, B) = 5A + 2B[/tex]
a). Bundles [tex](40, 5)[/tex] = U ( _____ , 2), lie on the same indifference curve. Suppose missing numbers is x.
So, [tex]U(40, 5) = U(x, 2)[/tex]
(40 x 5) + (2 x 5) = 50x + (2 x 2)
210 - 4 = 5x
[tex]x = 41.2[/tex]
So Alexander has [tex]40[/tex] apples and [tex]5[/tex] bananas. The indifference curve though [tex](40, 5)[/tex] also include bundle.
Therefore, (41.2, 2)
b). [tex]$MRS_{BA} = \frac{MU_B}{MU_A}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{\delta U/\delta B}{\delta U/\delta A}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{2}{5}$[/tex]
= 0.4
So Alexander has [tex]40[/tex] apples and [tex]5[/tex] bananas with this bundle. Alexander would like to give up [tex]0.4[/tex] unit apples for a banana.

Average Variable Cost =15 - 1.5 = 13.50
Increased demand for bonds tends to reduce the yield from holding bonds.
Answer:
Bonds have an inverse relationship to interest rates. When the cost of borrowing money rises (when interest rates rise), bond prices usually fall, and vice-versa.
At first glance, the negative correlation between interest rates and bond prices seems somewhat illogical. However, upon closer examination, it actually begins to make good sense.

What is a market that runs most efficiently when one large firm supplies all of the output referred to as?
a government monopoly
a natural monopoly
a franchise
market power
(Gradpoint)
Answer:
a natural monopoly
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller (one seller) who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes.
A monopolist refers to any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market.
On a related note, a natural monopoly is a market that runs most efficiently when all of the output is supplied by one large business firm. Thus, a business firm is considered to be a natural monopoly if it's capable of producing the total output of the market at a lower cost than two or more business firms could.
Some examples of natural monopoly are the United States Postal Service, electricity grid, water supply, gas network, sewer services, energy distributors, railway service, etc.

the baking department started the month with 23,500 units in its beginning work in process inventory. An additional 216,000 units started into production during the month to begin processing. There were 193,900 units in completed and transferred to the next processing department during the month. How many units were in ending work in process inventory at the end of the month
Answer:
45,600 units
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How many units were in ending work in process inventory at the end of the month
Using this formula
Units in ending work in process = Units in beginning work in process + Units started into production – Units transferred to the next department
Let plug in the formula
Units in ending work in process= 23,500 units + 216,000 units – 193,900 units
Units in ending work in process= 45,600 units
Therefore the number of units that were in ending work in process inventory at the end of the month is 45,600 units

Answer:
Fredonia Barber Shop
a. Variable costs per haircut = $4.40
Total monthly fixed costs = $8,910
b. Break-even point in units = 1,350
Break-even point in sales dollars = $14,850
Net income with 1,670 haircuts = $2,120
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fixed costs:
Wages of barbers per month = $6,900 ($1,380 * 5)
Manager's allowance per month = $535
Advertising per month = $270
Rent per month = $1,010
Utilities per month = $160
Magazines per month = $35
Total fixed costs per month = $8,910
Ivanhoe currently charges $11 per haircut.
Variable costs per haircut:
Commission per haircut = $3.75
Barber supplies per haircut = $0.50
Utilities per haircut = $0.15
Total variable costs per unit $4.40
Contribution margin per haircut = $6.60 ($11 - $4.40)
Contribution margin ratio = 0.6
Break-even point in units = $8,910/$6.60 = 1,350
Break-even point in sales dollars = $8,910/0.6 = $14,850
Net income assuming 1,670 haircuts for a month:
Sales revenue = $18,370 ($11 * 1,670)
Variable costs = 7,340 ($4.40 * 1,670)
Contribution $11,030
Fixed costs 8,910
Net income $2,120
