Service Department Charges

In divisional income statements prepared for LeFevre Company, the Payroll Department costs are charged back to user divisions on the basis of the number of payroll distributions, and the Purchasing Department costs are charged back on the basis of the number of purchase requisitions. The Payroll Department had expenses of $58,380, and the Purchasing Department had expenses of $22,000 for the year. The following annual data for Residential, Commercial, and Government Contract divisions were obtained from corporate records:

a. Determine the total amount of payroll checks and purchase requisitions processed per year by the company and each division.

b. Using the activity base information in (a), determine the annual amount of payroll and purchasing costs charged back to the Residential, Commercial, and Government Contract divisions from payroll and purchasing services. If required, round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round your interim calculations, round your answers to two decimal places, if required.

c. Residential's service department charge is   than the other two divisions because Residential is a   user of service department services. Residential has many employees on a weekly payroll, which translates into a   number of check-issuing transactions.

Problem 1. One of the consequences of ethanol addiction is fatty liver disease, an illness in which liver cells accumulate large amounts of triacylglycerols, the esters derived from glycerol and fatty acids. Ethanol is oxidized in the cytoplasm of liver cells by alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase to yield acetate and 2 NADH. Acetate is then transported into the mitochondrion, where it is converted to acetyl-CoA and metabolized in the citric acid cycle.

1. Give a reason based on the products of ethanol metabolism and the electron transport chain for high energy charge in the cell
2. How would excess G6P concentration contribute to the reducing potential required for fatty acid synthesis?
3. How does acetate stimulate the rate of citrate formation based on enzyme kinetic?
4. How would the concentration of citrate in the mitochondria increase if the rate of isocitrate dehydrogenase rate were inhibited
5. What would inhibit the rate of isocitrate dehydrogenase if ethanol metabolism causes high-energy charge.

Analyze competitors’ offerings

CASE STUDY SITUATION You are the vice president of development for BULLET, the second largest discount retailer in the nation. The senior VP has asked you to analyze a new sales venture and determine how to build a clientele foe the new venture and for traditional BULLET stores. There are close to 2000 BULLET stores across the country, most anchoring strip malls or outdoor shopping centers. BULLET stores feature typical grocery store items along with pharmacies, apparel, home décor, books, toys, electronics, seasonal items and health and beauty sections. BULLET’S biggest competitor is BOX MART, the leading discount retailer. BULLET does not come close to the number of store locations nor the revenue that BOX MART produces each year. Aside from similar store layouts and product offerings, there are notable differences between the two discount retailers. Although product offerings are similar, BULLET has a much different image than BOX MART. BULLET is perceived to be better organized, with a more streamlined store layout. They are also more in touch with fashion trends and home décor. BULLET also markets higher quality house brands in all departments, most notably in its food and beverage departments. BULLET offers a wide variety of fresh, ready-to-eat meals that beat BOX MART’S offerings in customer ratings each year. Executives at BULLET have decided to test market a concept for a BULLET branded convenience store. The BULLET convenience store will be located away form BULLET stores and will offer fuel and the loyal BULLET customer, and also new clientele who does not usually shop at BULLET stores. They are also hoping to attract the BOX MART customer. YOUR CHALLENGE The senior VP wants you to determine how a BULLET C-store can feel like a BULLET store, rather than a typical convenience store. You are to suggest techniques tha can expose BULLET C-store customers to BULLET retail store products, ideally resulting in a larger clientele for BULLET retail stores. In addition, you need to plan the product mix the BULLET C-stores; what typical convenience store products should be sold and what other products should be sold to keep up with BULLET’S well-regarded image? Are there store services that should be offered or not?
