Other - Business & Finance - December 2007

New technologies abound - many have "high impact" potentials or open-ended application capabilities. Their respective "debuts" (and marriages) can have far-reaching & unforeseen effects, most often destabilizing. Do candidates stand for laissez-faire non-interventionism OR more proactive, reflexive approach whereby humankind is given due-notice & due-diligence, to encourage a participatory future & create organizations to expeditiously reach viable & reliable consenses as to the kinds of application which should be tolerated over a given span of time. This points to questions concerning rates of change & human abilities to maintain a cohesive society & sustainable ecologies.
The technology acquisition curve - an exponential one, is NOT an academic "pipe-dream;" but a very real fact of our present day existence. Will we collectively choose to face a "no-holds-barred" future or one of "managed (in)sanity?" Think about genetics & the knee-jerk reactionism against stem cell research!

Lester Enterprises’ comparative balance sheets included inventory of $55,300 at December 31, 2006, and $41,500 at December 31, 2007. Lester’s comparative balance sheets also included accounts payable of $34,500 at December 31, 2006, and $23,000 at December 31, 2007. Lester’s accounts payable balances are composed solely of amounts due to suppliers for purchases of inventory on account. Cost of goods sold, as reported by Lester on its 2007 income statement, amounted to $460,600. What is the amount of cash payments for inventory that Lester will report in the Operating Activities section of its 2007 statement of cash flows assuming that the direct method is used?

has two departments, Bath and Kitchen. The company's most recent monthly contribution format income statement follows:
Department
Total Bath Kitchen
Sales $ 5,000,000 $ 1,000,000 $ 4,000,000
Variable expenses 1,900,000 300,000 1,600,000
Contribution margin 3,100,000 700,000 2,400,000
Fixed expenses 2,700,000 900,000 1,800,000
Net operating income (loss) $ 400,000 $ (200,000 ) $ 600,000

A study indicates that $370,000 of the fixed expenses being charged to the Bath Department are sunk costs or allocated costs that will continue even if the Bath Department is dropped. In addition, the elimination of the Bath Department would result in a 10% decrease in the sales of the Kitchen Department.

Required:
If the Bath Department is dropped, what will be the effect on the net operating income of the company as a whole? (Input the amount as positive value. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
__________ in overall net operating income $ ____________

The company I work for was sold Friday,all employees were given P45.New owner is taking on all staff and from what we can assess is taking over the holiday obligations.
Shouldn't we have got paid? doesn't a P45 mean end of working for old company? Also the company has a new name now etc.

With an incorrect account number and a roll number missing one digit, is it possible for a money transaction?
to go through. The situation is that housing benefit are claiming that they paid money into a wrong account using an incorrect account number and roll number missing one digit. They have been doing this since Aprill. Is it possible?

Previously I have used swift to send money abroad and if the account number or roll number was wrong the money would be returned to my account the following day and the transaction would not go through. Is this not what would happen with housing benefit in the circumstance described?

I have been in a Chapter 13 repayment plan for the last year. Due to my adjustable rate mortgage, my payment has gone up. At the beginning of the plan I did not sign a reaffirmafication on my mortgage, but I have continually paid my mortgage payment on top of my Chapter 13 repayment plan and now with my mortgage payment going up, I can not afford to pay the mortgage. I think it would be best for me to let the house get foreclosed on, but I want to continue making the Chapter 13 payment.

Question 1: If the house sells for less than what is owed, am I still responsible for the deficiency?

Question 2: Will I still be able to make my Chapter 13 repayment plan at the same amount that I'm paying now?

Question 3: Will I still get my full tax return refund?

Question 4: Does anyone know if Massachusetts has a foreclosure dificiency law while I'm in a Chapter 13.

Any advice would be helpful!

Thank you.
