Under constant reminders to improve the quality of our very own education within a rapidly improving technological world. Technology is often seen as a way to increase learning and collaboration on students on college campuses. The current generation of college students has basically grown up with technology in their lives always, and these students are among the earliest of creations of new advances in technology. With this students are encouraged to explore new ways of learning as well as connecting to their campus community, collaborate with peers, learn new information, and demonstrate what they have learned through technology which is essential for college campuses seeking to meet the necessities of present day college students. In order to effectively use technology to improve education, we must investigate how students are currently using technology, what they want from their colleges in the use of technology, how technology impacts educational outcomes, and how these factors differ for different student populations.

Media culture and technologies influence on curriculum in the classroom over the last 20 years has been astronomical. The increase in the use of multimedia and technology in our everyday lives has become a major influencer on the way students and teachers navigate within their classrooms. This has created a sense of urgency to incorporate this new tech culture into the classroom. With so many advancements and ideas for the facilitation of technology in the classroom, there are a number of seemingly outlying factors that contribute to technologies successful incorporation and use. When technology is seen as a valuable collaborative tool in the eyes of the students and educators it can aid in student learning, understanding, and lesson facilitation. When technology is not seen as a valuable collaborative tool its implementation and use is stagnant. The perception and attitudes of teachers play a major role in the success or failure of the introduction and implementation of technology in classroom.

The ROE of Boston Chicken from 1993 to 1994 shows the improvements from 1.7% to 6.2%, which is due to the improvements of Net Income. The increase in the number of stores from which Boston Chicken is the factor contributing to the improvements. The revenue shows the leap from $8.282 million in 1992 to $42.53 million in 1993 to $96.15 million in 1994.The new stores leading to an increase in royalty and franchise fees which is the reason of the increased revenue. NOPAT margin and EBITDA margin shows improvement in proportion to Net Income margin that indicates there is no change in interest. Profit margins indicate that the company’s performance has improved markedly in 1994.The stock value for Boston Chicken for 1994 was about $7 and the actual stock price was about $16 at the end of 1994. This indicates that Boston Chicken has been overvalued due to the optimistic view of market because of the present revenue growth rate and the inclusion of royalties and initial

In order for a company to succeed and be successful, it is very important for the company to understand the difference between profit and cost of goods. There are costing tools that can help a business figure out what the cost of product is during the manufacturing process. These tools are beneficial for a company to figure out how much profit can be made. These tools take the cost of manufacturing the unit and subtract it from the sale price of the product. Having this information, the profit per unit, is very beneficial for a company to know which products they should produce more heavily, or which ones to eliminate. I want to discuss two costing methods that are beneficial to a

As will be seen below, the cost to manufacture a single unit of the architectural windows is much greater than the standard window (note the negative contribution margin of the architectural windows). This is contrary to the volume-based method where standard windows were more expensive. Under ABC, It makes sense that the architectural window is more expensive as it is generally more labor-intensive, requires more direct material and consumes more fixed resources than its standard window counterpart. ABC is able to capture these costs by tracing the activities to the correct product. The following section will analyze the individual components of the income statement in further detail. What is realized is that cost information is severely distorted under volume-based allocation approach, leading Doug to make uninformed decisions. As it currently stands, architectural windows would be unable to bring the Texas plant into a profitable position.

There is substantial evidence in the case to suggest that ODI should segment the market based on flock size of the farms and focus their marketing and sales strategy towards farms with more than 10,000 birds. As illustrated in Exhibit 4 of the case study, number of chicken farms with flock size less than 10,000 has vastly shrunk between 1964 and 1969. This trend has continued and it is estimated that between 1975 and

(5) The out-of-pocket cost determines the true profitability of the chili. (See attached computations). I performed two scenarios for the out-of-pocket cost. The first scenario is the standard 90% of the time where no extra meat needs to be cooked for the chili, and the second scenario is a hypothetical 10% of the time meat needs to be cooked specifically for the production of the chili. After calculating the costs for the first scenario, the total cost was $0.3615/8-ounce bowl and $0.5073/12-ounce bowl. Under the second scenario, the total cost was $0.5795 and $0.8343/12-ounce bowl. Both of which ring up well below selling price, resulting in a profit. After calculating the weighted average cost for both the 8 and 12 ounce bowl of chili, both costs are favorable after comparing them to the selling price.

The purpose of this paper is examine operating budgets and variance analysis for Tasty Treats. It will discuss Budgets and fianances can be the sole reason a company succeeds or fails. It is important for a company to know how much they need for future inventory, the cost of materials to produce an item, the overhead costs, and any other items needed to manufacture their products. In this paper we will discuss some changes we should make to change the unfavorable items on the variance report.

(B) The full production cost (per gallon) of the Polynesian Fantasy and Vanilla products as per new costing method (Louise’s suggestion) is as below:

The company I am continuing to work with is US Airways Group. There is plenty of hard and soft technology to list for the domestic environment. Some of the hard technology used in the domestic environment is aircraft, security system, and safety gear. Some soft technology used in the domestic environment is management, government regulations that govern the procedures of the company, and training for employees. The hard technology I listed above is the obvious technology the air line company utilizes yet there is more hard technology being used. The soft

Over the past few years technology has advanced in many ways. There are many experts who believe new technology is a threat to our brains. While others argue that new technology offers many benefits to our brains like, “enhancing our intellect, creativity, and mental capacity.” In my opinion, I think new technology is and can be a threat to our brains because I believe technology is replacing our ability to write, and read books. Also, while others might disagree with my thoughts on new technology, I believe technology has become a threat to our brains because it has consumed and become a bigger part of our lives today. An example of this scenario, is the essay “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” by author Nicholas Carr where he talks about how

As shown in the previous Exhibit 1, the company recorded for cost of goods sold (COGS) $3,000,000 of Pick/Pack shipping costs during the year. Under this Pick/Pack shipping activity the company is recognizing

With this costing technique , a Manager can easily determine if there is a weak link in production chain by keeping an eye on the cost per unit each day. Using the accounting programs involved in process costing, a manager can figure out where in the process the item 's per unit cost is going up. This way a single manager or a team of managers can monitor millions of units being produced without needing to check on each department unless a problem comes up. By the same token, these numbers need to be watched diligently, as a change of even a fraction of a cent can cost thousands of dollars quite quickly.

The current method of apportioning production overheads based on direct labour hours can be described as a traditional approach to product costing. In a manufacturing company’s financial statements, each item produced must be allocated some of the production overheads to make the statements compliant. Sometimes the individual costs of these items can be calculated incorrectly based on overall production overhead and the system of allocating in place, however the overall financial statement can still be accurate. This traditional method of allocating the production
