I know there are many people on the hype in school or going back to school. Some of us have been around a long time. Sometimes you just need some help with an assignment. We aren't all cynical and bitter. How about listing assignments you need help with here and maybe someone can find it in the kindness of their hearts to lend a hand. So go ahead and post your questions and see what happens.
 
Can I also use this thread for stuff at my office too? I'm buried in paperwork over here, and could use someone who can handle logical equations in Excel. :(
 
Let me get something out of the way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

If your teacher wants sources cited, they're usually in the "References" section of any Wikipedia article. Use those to double-check the article or just to cheat by filling out your footnotes page.
 
good idea for a thread, this may come in handy when my statistics class starts.

I really wish Wikipedia had been more prevalent when I was in school.
 
Hey guys, are any of you good with accounting? I have a project I have to do and could use the help of anyone. P.S., Also need help with Excel. PM Me.
 
I'm taking accounting and business law right now. Maybe I can help...What's the question?
 
Here's my scenario and I'm stuck...


Consider the following scenario:
The Ski Pro Corporation, which produces and sells to wholesalers a highly successful line of water skis, has decided to diversify to stabilize sales throughout the year. The company is considering the production of cross-country skis.

After considerable research, a cross-country ski line has been developed. Because of the conservative nature of the company management, however, Minnetonka’s president has decided to introduce only one type of the new ski for this coming winter. If the product is a success, further expansion in future years will be initiated.

The ski selected is a mass-market ski with a special binding. It will be sold to wholesalers for $80 per pair. Because of availability capacity, no additional fixed charges will be incurred to produce the skis. A $100,000 fixed charge will be absorbed by the skis, however, to allocate a fair share of the company’s present fixed costs to the new product.

Using the estimated sales and production of 10,000 pairs of skis as the expected volume, the accounting department has developed the following cost per pair of skis and bindings:

Direct Labor: $35
Direct Material: $30
Total Overhead: $15
Total: $80

Ski Pro has approached a subcontractor to discuss the possibility of purchasing the bindings. The purchase price of the bindings from the subcontractor would be $5.25 per binding, or $10.50 per pair. If the Ski Pro Corporation accepts the purchase proposal, it is predicted that direct-labor and variable-overhead costs would be reduced by 10% and direct-material costs would be reduced by 20%.

Write a 1–2 page paper, and create a spreadsheet that answers the following questions:

Should the Ski Pro Corporation make or buy the bindings? Show calculations to support your answer.
What would be the maximum purchase price acceptable to the Ski Pro Corporation for the bindings? Support your answer with an appropriate explanation.
Instead of sales of 10,000 pairs of skis, revised estimates show sales volume at 12,500 pairs. At this new volume, additional equipment, at an annual rental of $10,000 must be acquired to manufacture the bindings. This incremental cost would be the only additional fixed cost required even if sales increased to 30,000 pairs. (This 30,000 level is the goal for the third year of production.) Under these circumstances, should the Ski Pro Corporation make or buy the bindings? Show calculations to support your answer.
What qualitative factors (that is, issues with vendors, customers, or within the product itself) should the Ski Pro Corporation consider in determining whether they should make or buy the bindings?

If anyone can help me, I may give you the phone number of someone really famous that I have on my speed dial.
 
Ok, start with the spreadsheet.

Your First column is Description, your second column is quantity and your third is unit cost, fourth is total cost for that particular expense.

Below your final Description you'll have a Sub-Total for 10,000 units.

Next continue with the incremental costs as columns or lines (depending on how you feel more comfortable handling it).
 
Now, I have my Excel question. I have a start date in column D and an end date in column E. Column F is supposed to be "Term" (number of months between start and end date). I started by trying to use YEAR and MONTH but Excel wasn't smart enough to realize what I was asking it to do. Then I divided by 30, but that mucks up with February (giving me 0 months instead of 1). So, does anyone know the Excel formula to aquire the number of months between two date columns?
 
Thank God for this thread. :woot:

I don't really need homework help, but I do need some help for my psychology research report. Basically I just need ten males (sorry to the female users here :p) to look at the these ten inkblot cards and then write the first thing that comes to your mind when you see it. Don't think too much about it.

So if you would like to be apart of my assignment (and I'd really appreciate it if you were) just click on the link below and scroll down to the cards and then tell me what you see (listing them in the order that they are shown on the site).

Oh, and ignore the part about the sexual imagery comment below the cards. Just write whatever you see. There are no right or wrong answers. :yay:
