"A lower price? No, that would cost too much to reprice the merchandise..."
I took a managerial accounting course as an undergrad. The prof said he did a Summer internship at one of the food companies based in NYC. A whole floor was dedicated to cost accountants trying to shave, er, save half a cent a pound. A marketing guy strolls through and says the new ad campaign will cost five cents a pound.
He said it was right there that he decided cost accounting was not for him.
Then he says the accounting department had to pay the new cost accounting professor more than the department chairman.
I think I heard someone say “a litre is smaller than a quart”.
Actually I think a ltr. is about 33 oz., which is slightly
more than a quart. There even used to be a series of public
service announcements, “Take ten (minutes) to learn the
metric way” and one line said “it’s (a liter) a little more
than a quart”
(Just looked up: 1 ltr. = 33.8 ounces)
How about this? Ingraham (on WTKK) tonight did not start at 10:07 pm; I presume a tech. difficulty. Well it was a whopper of a problem as there were ads
upon ads; finally it starts but Mark Levin is
running along with it! Finally they abruptly go back to ads; I think the 10 pm hour was about
85 per cent ADS. Yeah, tech. problems do happen but they didn’t have a backup show to put on?
Or were they taking care of “make goods”—making up for ads that for some reason didn’t run when
they were supposed to?
