What advantage does a normal costing system offer?
1.)Income smoothing purpose- Applied FOH rate is an average or normalised rate used in calculation of applied FOH cost.- Use only one surrogate as a FOH cost driver rather than FOH cost are being affected by many one-off and/ or uncontrollable factors2.) More timely factory overhead costs information (Esp. for pricing purpose)- Estimated (applied) FOHs can be made available before actual FOHs are available.3.) Removal of incentive for managers to produce for inventory. If the value of inventories includes FFO (Which is fixed cost), managers can bolster operating profit by producing more units than are sold.-->> Applied overhead cost = variable cost4.) Providing a basis for monitoring evaluating and controlling overhead costs by means of variance analysis.-->> Underapplied FOH = Applied FOH < Actual FOH -->> Unfavourable-->> Overapplied FOH = Applied FOH > Actual FOH -->> Favourable
What can 105 be divided by?
Technically, 105 can be divided by any number that strikes your fancy. (except zero!)But for it to result in a whole number, you must divide by a factor of 105. Factoring is usually just by done by dividing by numbers until you get all the numbers that work.A couple shortcuts to factoring:-All numbers are divisible by themselves and 1-If a number ends in a 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0, it is divisible by 2-If the digits of a number add up to a number that is divisible by 3, then the original number is divisible by 3-If a number ends in 5 or 0, it is divisible by 5-If the digits of a number add up to 9 (or a number that is divisible by 0), then it is divisible by 9105 ends in a 5, so it is divisible by 5. 5 and 21 are factors2+1 adds up to 3, so 21 is divisible by 3. 3 and 7 are factorsBe sure to multiply any unpaired factors together to get additional factors1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35, 105
What are the proper factors of the numbers from 1 to 100?
The proper factors of a number are all its factors except itself. Sometimes, the number 1 is also excluded. So, the proper factors of 6 are either 1, 2, and 3, or if excluding the number 1, they are 2 and 3. (If your instructor distinguishes between proper factors and proper divisors, then proper factors are all the factors of a number except 1 and itself, while proper divisors are all the factors of a number except itself, but often proper factors is the only term used, so check whether 1 is included in the definition you are using.)The list of factors in the question "What are the factors of the numbers from 1 to 100" (see link below) includes both 1 and the number itself, but if you remove the number itself, and the 1 if it is excluded in the definition of proper factor that you are using, you will have the complete list of proper factors.The prime numbers, which only have themselves and 1 as factors, are in bold in the list of factors on that page. Their proper factors are either the number 1, or if 1 is excluded, they have no proper factors.Short List of Proper Factors:As an example, here are the proper factors (including 1, which is sometimes used and sometimes not) for the first 10 numbers:1: No proper factors2: 13: 14: 1, 25: 16: 1, 2, 37: 18: 1, 2, 49: 1, 310: 1, 2, 5A less unwieldy versionIn practice, it seems unlikely that anyone wants you to continue the above list to 100. (That would be 3 sides of handwritten A4 paper.) Maybe they only wanted to know which numbers appear in the list of proper factors. For example, the proper factors of numbers from 1 to 10 are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (as you can see above).

Factor affecting dividend policy?
Dividend DecisionDividendMeaning: Dividend is that part of the profits of a company which is distributed amongst its shareholders.Definition: According to ICAI, "Dividend is a distribution to shareholders out of profits or reserves available for this purpose."Nature of Dividend DecisionThe dividend decision of the firm is crucial for the finance manager because it determines:1. the amount of profit to be distributed among the shareholders, and2. the amount of profit to be retained in the firm.There is a reciprocal relationship between cash dividends and retained earnings.While taking the dividend decision the management take into account the effect of the decision on the maximization of shareholders' wealth.Maximizing the market value of shares is the objective.Dividend pay out or retention is guided by this objective.Dividend PolicyFactors Affecting Dividend Policy:1.

Desire of the Shareholders:Though the directors decide the rate of dividend, it is always at the interest of the shareholders.Shareholders expect two types of returns:[i] Capital Gains: i.e., an increase in the market value of shares.[ii] Dividends: regular return on their investment.Cautious investors look for dividends because,[i] It reduces uncertainty (capital gains are uncertain).[ii] Indication of financial strength of the company.[iii] Need for income: Some invest in shares so as to get regular income to meet their living expenses.2. Financial Needs of the Company:If the company has profitable projects and it is costly to raise funds, it may decide to retain the earnings.3. Nature of earnings:A company which has stable earnings can afford to have an higher divided payout ratio4. Desire to retain the control of management:Additional public issue of share will dilute the control of management.5. Liquidity position:Payment of dividend results in cash outflow. A company may have adequate earning but it may not have sufficient funds to pay dividendsStability of DividendsThe term stability of dividends means consistency in the payment of dividends. It refers to regular payment of a certain minimum amount as dividend year after year.Even if the company's earnings fluctuate from year to year, its dividend should not. This is because the shareholders generally value stable dividends more than fluctuating ones.Stable dividend can be in the form of:1. Constant dividend per share2. Constant percentage3. Stable rupee dividend plus extra dividendSignificance of Stability of Dividend1. Desire for current income2. Sign of financial stability of the company3. Requirement of institutional investors4. Investors confidence in the companyDanger of Stable Dividend PolicyStable dividend policy may sometimes prove dangerous. Once a stable dividend policy is adopted by a company, any adverse change in it may result in serious damage regarding the financial standing of the company in the mind of the investors.Forms of Dividend1. Cash Dividend:The normal practice is to pay dividends in cash.The payment of dividends in cash results in cash outflow from the firm. Therefore the firm should have adequate cash resources at its disposal before declaring cash dividend.2. Stock Dividend:The company issues additional shares to the existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings of equity share capital of the company.Stock dividend is popularly termed as 'issue of bonus shares.'This is next to cash dividend in respect of its popularity.3. Bond Dividend:In case the company does not have sufficient funds to pay dividends in cash it may issue bonds for the amount due to shareholders.The main purpose of bond dividend is postponement of payment of immediate dividend in cash. The bond holders get regular interest on their bonds besides payment of the bond money on the due date.[Bond dividend is not popular in India]4. Property Dividend:This is a case when the company pays dividend in the form of assets other than cash. This may be in the form of certain assets which are not required by the company or in the form of company's products.[This type of dividend is not popular in India]Bonus SharesWhen the additional shares are allotted to the existing shareholders without receiving any additional payment from them, is known as issue of bonus shares.Bonus shares are allotted by capitalizing the reserves and surplus.Issue of bonus shares results in the conversion of the company's profits into share capital. Therefore it is termed as capitalization of company's profits.Since such shares are issued to the equity shareholders in proportion to their holdings of equity share capital of the company, a shareholder continues to retain his/ her proportionate ownership of the company.Issue of bonus shares does not affect the total capital structure of the company. It is simply a capitalization of that portion of shareholders' equity which is represented by reserves and surpluses.It also does not affect the total earnings of the shareholders
