Answer:
8,850 units
Explanation:
We know that
Net income = Unit sales × (Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit) - Fixed cost
$23,600 = Unit sales × ($55 - $39) - $118,000
$23,600 = Unit sales × $16 - $118,000
$23,600 +$118,000 = $16 unit sales
So, unit sales = 8,850 units
The net income is computed below:
= Given percentage × Total fixed cost
= 20% × $118,000
= $23,600
Intangible Standards
Intangible standards are those that do not have physical form, or those standards that cannot be perceived by the 5 senses (such as employee morale and work ethics). In contrast, tangible standards are those that can be assessed using the five senses -- seeing, smelling, hearing, tasting, and touching.
This attitude is called cash register honesty.
The book store worker knows very well that ball point pens, post-its, copies on the copier machine and long-distance phone calls are office resources and should, in principle, be used only for office purposes.
He is also aware that the he is responsible for his own needs - be it post-its or long-distance phone calls.
By taking some small supplies home or using the office equipment for personal use (e.g. making personal copies or making personal long-distance phone calls), he increases the cost to the company.
Yet, he continues to indulge in the activities described in the question, because he believes, at a personal level, that he can get away with it . (It's okay with him at a personal level.)
However, since stealing from the cash register is not ok with him on a personal level, he doesn't do it even though he knows he can get away with it. This attitude is called cash register honesty.
The use of intermediaries is the primary difference between the two.
Explanation:
Direct distribution channel is one in which the consumer is directly connected to the manufacturer and there is no use of a distribution system that is separate from them and there are no intermediaries.
The contact between the two is direct.
To the contrary in an indirect distribution channel there is no direct connection between the manufacturer and the person who is actually buying the product and the business is being mediated by the middlemen.
