Assume that management used the allocation base that is most influenced by advertising effort and consistent with sound managerial accounting practices. How much advertising would be allocated to the Irvine center

Answer: $19,800

Explanation:

Actual Revenue would be the most appropriate base to use because it is the most influenced by advertising effort and sound managerial practices.

Total actual revenue from all centers is $1,620,000.

Actual revenue for Irvine center is $534,600.

Advertising expenses to Irvine would be:

= Advertising cost * Actual revenue for Irvine / Total actual revenue for all centers

= 60,000 * 534,600 / 1,620,000

= $19,800

Analyzing and Interpreting Restructuring Costs and Effects
General Electric (GE) reports the following footnote disclosure (excerpted) in its 2018 10-K relating to its restructuring program. Restructuring actions are an essential component of our cost improvement efforts to both existing operations and those recently acquired. Restructuring and other charges relate primarily to workforce reductions, facility exit costs associated with the consolidation of sales, service and manufacturing facilities, the integration of recent acquisitions, and other asset writedowns. We continue to closely monitor the economic environment and may undertake further restructuring actions to more closely align our cost structure with earnings and cost reduction goals. 2018 2017 2016 $0.9 $1.2 $1.3 1.8 1.9 1.3 Workforce reductions Plant closures & associated costs and other asset write-downs Acquisition/disposition net charges Other 0.8 0.8 0.6 0.1 0.2 0.3 Total $3.6 $4.1 $3.5 For 2018, restructuring and other charges were $3.5 billion of which approximately $1.4 billion was reported in cost of products/services and $2.1 billion was reported in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A). These activities were primarily at Power, Corporate and Oil & Gas. Cash expenditures for restructuring and other charges were approximately $2.0 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.

For centuries, Alaskans relied on salmon and other freshwater fish for protein, oil, and other nutrients. But when jetliners began flying tourists who love fishing from Seattle to Anchorage in the 1950s, the stock of Alaskan salmon began falling. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game had concerns about the high fraction of young salmon caught before they could reproduce. Following the advice of environmental scientists and economists, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game introduced restrictions on the minimum size (28 inches) and the number of salmon caught (5 per day). Among their concerns was the high fraction of young salmon caught before they could reproduce.
a. Alaskan salmon are a ____________.
b. In addition to restricting the number of salmon caught and imposing minimum size limits, which of following are suitable policy interventions to deal with this market failure?
