A) State the total fixed cost

B) State the variable cost

C)State the price

D) Given the available data, at what quantity will Jose's Bakersfield Espresso break even?

Answers

Answer:

A. $100,000

B. $1.25 per unit

C. $3.5 per unit

D. Break even point = 44,444 units

Explanation:

Break even point denotes that level of sales at which total costs equal or even total revenues.

Contribution represents the sales revenue in excess of variable costs to cover up for fixed costs.

Break even point in units = [tex]\frac{Fixed\ Cost}{Contribution\ per\ unit}[/tex]

Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

Contribution per unit = $3.50 - $1.25 = $2.25

Break even point = [tex]\frac{100,000}{2.25}[/tex] = 44,444 units approx.

Carroll Corporation has two products, Q and P. During June, the company's net operating income was $24,000, and the common fixed expenses were $52,000. The contribution margin ratio for Product Q was 40%, its sales were $137,000, and its segment margin was $44,000. If the contribution margin for Product P was $42,000, the segment margin for Product P was:

Answers

Answer:

$32,000= Segment margin product P

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Company net operating income= $24,000

Common fixed costs= $52,000

Product Q:

Segment margin= $44,000

Contribution margin for Product P= $42,000

We need to calculate the segment margin for Product P.

Net income= Segment margin product P + Segment margin product Q - common fixed costs

24,000= Segment margin product P + 44,000 - 52,000

32,000= Segment margin product P

Minstrel Manufacturing uses a job order costing system. During one month, Minstrel purchased $201,000 of raw materials on credit; issued materials to production of $198,000 of which $27,000 were indirect. Minstrel incurred a factory payroll of $153,000, of which $37,000 was indirect labor. Minstrel uses a predetermined overhead application rate of 150% of direct labor cost. If Minstrel incurred total overhead costs of $180,000 during the month, compute the amount of under- or overapplied overhead:

Answers

Answer:

Underapplied overhead=  $6,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor= $153,000 - $37,000= $116,000

The predetermined overhead application rate= 150% of direct labor cost.

Actual overhead= $180,000

First, we need to allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 116,000*1.5= $174,000

Now, we can calculate the over/under allocation:

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 180,000 - 174,000

Under/over applied overhead=  $6,000 underallocated

As a manager your organization is constantly confronted with a variety of changes in the market or a wide range of situations. You have to recruit and select a manager for a group of employees responsible for several related products. You have just read about Fiedler’s Contingency model and decided to use the LPC score to aid you in selecting a leader for the management group. You have interviewed four candidates for the job (Erin, Josh, Michael, Tabitha) and the scores for each of the candidates were Erin=high LPC, Josh=moderately high LPC, Michael=middle LPC, Tabitha=low LPC. Which of the candidates would you hire?A. ErinB. JoshC. MichaelD. TabithaE. None of these.

Answers

Answer:

C. Michael

Explanation:

The least preferred coworker scale is a method used to determine the leadership style of individuals. It was developed by Fred Fiedler and American scholar.

When a person gives positive feedback on coworkers they are more relationship oriented and get a high LPC score.

For those that give negative feedback on coworkers, they are task oriented and will get low LPC scores.

Relationship oriented style is used when employees are experienced and know what to do, while task oriented leadership is needed when the team is less experienced or results need to be delivered in a short time.

The organization is constantly confronted with a variety of changes in the market or a wide range of situations. So this requires a mix of both relationship and task oriented leadership to adapt to changing organisational needs.

Michael is the best option with middle LPC score.

A promise to make a gift for a charitable or educational purpose is unenforceable unless and until the institution to which to promise was made incurs obligations by relying on the promise. This exception is usually justified on the basis of either _____ or _____.

Answers

Answer:

This exception is usually justified on the basis of either promissory estoppel or public policy.

Explanation:

There are many Judicial devices and one of them is the Estoppel. In common law, there are legal systems which allow a court to use this device to prevent a person (corporate or individual) from making pronouncements or from defecting on their promise.

 

With regard to public policy, courts in recent cases have reached conclusions that pledges are legally enforceable regardless of whether or not the recipient of the promise has incurred liabilities based on the pledge, and that, the only way to ensure compliance with requirements of the law, a test of public policy is to ensure the promise is made good.

This thought holds true in Ohio where for example, a pledge has the same weight as a promissory note.

According to precedence established in Pennsylvania, any written promise can be enforced regardless of whether or not the pledger intends to be legally bound.

A company uses a process costing system. Its Welding Department completed and transferred out 100,000 units during the current period. The ending inventory in the Welding Department consists of 30,000 units (75% complete with respect to direct materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion costs). Determine the equivalent units of production for the Welding Department for direct materials and conversion costs assuming the weighted average method.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion costs is shown below:-

                                  Direct material          Conversion

Completed                   100,000                    100,000

Ending Work in progress  

Direct material             22,500

(30,000 × 0.75)

Conversion                                                      12,000

(30,000 × 0.40)

Equivalent Units of

Production                   122,500                          112,000

So, to reach the equivalent units of production of direct material we simply added the completed and transferred out units with direct material and for conversion we added the completed and transferred out units with conversion units.

b) issue a statement apologizing for the choking hazard and recall the stuffed bears.
c) daim that if parents put the bear in the washing machine, the button stitching will come loose, causing it to detach. As a result, parents should not put the bear in the washing machine.
d) create a set of industry-wide guidelines to help prevent choking hazards on toys for children. It pay to be socially responsible

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer option is B

Explanation:

The company would issue a statement apologizing for the choking hazard and recall the stuffed bears.

A defense strategy is one in which the toy manufacturing company accepts responsibility for a problem, even though they would do the least required to meet societal expectations.

The toy manufacturer might issue a statement apologizing for the choking hazard and recall the stuffed bears. In this case the company has accepted responsibility and done the least required to meet societal expectations.

3. Under variable costing, closing inventory = 400 units x $0.50 (variable production costs per unit) = $200.

Under absorption costing, closing inventory = 400 units x $1 (production cost per unit) = $400

Since closing inventory is $200 higher under absorption costing, then net operating income during 2011 increases by $200.

4. a) Variable costing is more likely to result in inventory buildups. Since variable costing determines the value of closing inventory only using variable manufacturing costs, their value is much lower. E.g. in this case the value of closing inventory 2011 under variable costing is $200, while under absorption costing it is $400. This means that less costs are transferred from one year to another.

b) Cost of goods sold must include all production costs (both variable and fixed). This way COGS costs cannot be over estimated during one year and under estimated the next.

Round to one decimal place. a. Current ratio b. Quick ratio

Answers

Answer:

Current ratio= 2.3

Quick ratio= 1.8

Explanation:

Cash=$510,000

Marketable securities= $398,000

Account receivables= $338,900

Inventory= $346,000

Account payable = $693,000

Curent ratio= current assets/current liability

Current assets= cash+ marketable securities+ Account receivables+inventory

Current liability= Account payable

($510,000+$398,000+$338,900+$346,000)/$693,000

= $1,592,900/$693,000

= 2.29

Current ratio = 2.3 ( to 1 decimal place)

ii) Quick ratio= ( cash+ marketable securities+ Account receivable)/Current liability

=$510,000+$398,000+$338,900/$693,000

= $1,246,900/$693,000

= 1.79.

Quick ratio = 1.8 ( to 1 decimal place)

Accounts payable = $693,000

( a.) The current ratio : this helps to determine the relationship between current assets and current liabilities

= current assets / current liabilities

Currents assets = ( cash + marketable securities + inventory + account receivable )

= $( 510,000 + 398,500 + 338,900 + 346,500)

= $1,593,900

Current liabilities = $693,000

Current ratio = $1,593,900 / $693,000

= 2.3

(b) Quick ratio is the ratio of quick asset against current liabilities.

Quick assets ( cash + marketable securities + accounts receivable)

= $( 510,000 + 398,500 + 338,900)

= $1,247,400

Quick ratio = $1,247,400 / $693,000

= 1.8

Management of Mittel Rhein AG of Köln, Germany, would like to reduce the amount of time between when a customer places an order and when the order is shipped. For the first quarter of operations during the current year the following data were reported: Inspection time 0.3 days Wait time (from order to start of production) 14.0 days Process time 2.7 days Move time 1.0 days Queue time 5.0 days
1.Compute the throughput time.
2. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
3. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non–value-added activities? (Enter your answer as a percentage (i.e., 0.12 should be entered as 12).)
4.Compute the delivery cycle time.
5. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE? (Round your percentage answer to 1 decimal place (i.e., 0.123 should be entered as 12.3).)

Answers

Answer:

1. The throughput time is 9 days

2. The MCE is 0.30

3. 70% of the throughput time was spent on non-value added activities.

4. The delivery cycle time is 23 days

5. The New MCE is 67.5%

Explanation:

1. To calculate the throughput time we would have to use to make the following calculation:

throughput time=process time+inspection time+movie time+queue time

throughput time=2.7+0.3+1+5

throughput time=9 days

2. To calculate the MCE we would have to use to make the following calculation:

MCE=value added time/throughput time

MCE=2.7/9=0.30

3. MCE is 30% which means that out of the total throughput time, time spent on value added activities was 30%. Thus it means that 70% of the throughput time was spent on non-value added activities.

4. To calculate the delivery cycle time we would have to use to make the following calculation:

delivery cycle time=wait time+throughput time

delivery cycle time=14+9=23 days

5. To calculate the new MCE we would have to use to make the following calculation:

New MCE=value added time/throughput time

New MCE=2.7/4

New MCE=67.5%

1. Based on the information given the throughput time is 9 days.

2. The manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter is 30%.

3.  The percentage of the throughput time is 70%.

4. The delivery cycle time is 23 days.

5. The New MCE is 68%.

1. Throughput time

Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time

Throughput time= 2.7 +0.3+ 1.0 + 5.0

Throughput time=9 days

2. Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE)

Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) = Value-added time / Throughput time

Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) = 2.7 /9

Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE)=30%

 

3. Non-value-added activities

Non-value-added activities  = 100% - 30%

Non-value-added activities = 70%

4. Delivery cycle time

Delivery cycle time = Wait time + throughput time

Delivery cycle time = 14.0 + 9.0

Delivery cycle time = 23 days

5. New MCE

New MCE = Value-added time / Throughput time

New MCE=2.7/(0.3+2.7+1.0)

New MCE  2.7 / 4

New MCE =67.5%

New MCE =68% (Approximately)

The operations manager of a mail order house purchases double (D) and twin (T) beds for resale. Each double bed costs $500 and requires 100 cubic feet of storage space. Each twin bed costs $300 and requires 90 cubic feet of storage space. The manager has $75,000 to invest in beds this week, and her warehouse has 18,000 cubic feet available for storage. Profit for each double bed is $300 and for each twin bed is $150. The manager's goal is to maximize profits.

Required:
What is not a feasible solution?

Answers

Answer:

Please see below for answer

Explanation:

It would not be feasible to invest the entire $75,000 amount on making double beds. Although the profit margin for the double beds is twice that of twin beds, it also requires more storage space and the market demand for double beds may not be as high as the twin beds. Hence, making double beds and ignoring twin beds completely might not make as much profit due to not being sold to begin with.

g Real and nominal variables are highly intertwined, and changes in the money supply change real GDP. Most economists would agree that this statement accurately describes a. both the short run and the long run. b. the short run, but not the long run. c. the long run, but not the short run. d. neither the long run nor the short run.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

GDP usually, is fixed in the short run. Thus, in the short-term, money supply will increase aggregate demand and prices will follow.

In the long term, however, real GDP (which is economic output that has been adjusted for price fluctuations), an increase in the money supply will create an increase in the GDP due to aggregate demand.

The US economy, for example, displays a strong positive correlation between the amount of money supplied and it's GDP growth between 1994 and 2009.

You would like to combine a risky stock with a beta of 1.87 with U.S. Treasury bills in such a way that the risk level of the portfolio is equivalent to the risk level of the overall market. What percentage of the portfolio should be invested in the risky stock

Answers

Answer:

46.5%

Explanation:

The treasury bills have zero beta as they have no systematic risk. Beta is used in the Capital asset pricing Model to demonstrate a relationship between systematic risk and rate of return.

Expected Return = Rf + Beta * Rp

The percentage that should be invested in the risky portfolio will be,

1 - 1 / Beta

1 - 1 / 1.87

= 46.5%

All of the following are techniques being used to make data centers more "green" except:________.
a) use of hydropower.
b) air-cooling.
c) use of wind power.
d) use of backup generators.
e) virtualization.

Answers

Answer:

d) use of backup generators.

Explanation:

Going green is a term used for practices that protect the environment by reducing, reusing and recycling resources. It involves engaging in ecologically friendly decisions and lifestyles with a view of preserving natural resources for future generations.

The use of backup generator causes production of green house gases like carbon dioxide. Green house gases erode the ozone layer and increases global warming.

The other options like use of hydropower, air cooling, use of wind power, and virtualisation do not have adverse effect on the environment.

In the context of the competitive environment of business, unlike leading-edge firms, bleeding-edge firms offer products just as the market becomes ready to embrace them. a. True b. False

Answers

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Bleeding edge firms provide products that are untested and carry a high risk. Products are unreliable and lead adopters stand the risk of making big losses in event that the product is not well received in the market

Leading edge firms on the other hand deal in products that are well tested and accepted by the market.

So the statement that - unlike leading-edge firms, bleeding-edge firms offer products just as the market becomes ready to embrace them. Is not true

Products offered by bleeding edge firms are not embraced by the market as they are untested and risky

Cherokee Inc. is a merchandiser that provided the following information: Amount Number of units sold 13,000 Selling price per unit $ 16 Variable selling expense per unit $ 2 Variable administrative expense per unit $ 3 Total fixed selling expense $ 21,000 Total fixed administrative expense $ 15,000 Beginning merchandise inventory $ 11,000 Ending merchandise inventory $ 25,000 Merchandise purchases $ 88,000 Required: 1. Prepare a traditional income statement. 2. Prepare a contribution format income statement.

Answers

Answer:

1. Gross margin is $134,00; and Net profit is $33,000.

2. Contribution margin is $69,000; and Net profit is $33,000.

Explanation:

To prepare the statements, the following calculations are done first:

Sales revenue = Number of units sold * Selling price per unit = 13,000 * $16 = $208,000

Variable selling expenses = Number of units sold * Variable selling expense per unit = 13,000 * $2 = $26,000

Total selling expenses = Variable selling expenses + Total fixed selling expense = $26,000 + $21,000 = $47,000

Variable administrative expense = Number of units sold * Variable administrative expense per unit = 13,000 * $3 = $39,000

Total administrative expense = Variable administrative expense + Total fixed administrative expense = $39,000 + $15,000 = $54,000

Cost of goods sold =  Beginning merchandise inventory + Merchandise purchases - Ending merchandise inventory = $11,000 + $88,000 - $25,000 = $74,000

The statements are now prepared as follows:

1. Prepare a traditional income statement.

The purpose of the traditional income statement is to obtain the gross margin and the net profit. These can be obtained as follows:

Net profit                                             33,000  

Note:

Note that under both methods, the net profit is the same. This always holds no matter the method used.

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Amount Number of units sold 13,000

Selling price per unit $16

Variable selling expense per unit $2

Variable administrative expense per unit $3

Total fixed selling expense $21,000

Total fixed administrative expense $15,000

Beginning merchandise inventory $11,000

Ending merchandise inventory $25,000

Merchandise purchases $88,000

First, we need to calculate the cost of goods sold:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS= 11,000 + 88,000 - 25,000= 74,000

1) Traditional income statement:

Sales= 13,000*16= 208,000

COGS= (74,000)

Gross profit= 134,000

Total selling expense= (2*13,000) + 21,000= (47,000)

Total administrative expense= (3*13,000) + 15,000= (54,000)

Net operating income= 33,000

2) Contribution format income statement:

Total variable cost= (3 + 2)*13,000 + 74,000= $139,000

Sales= 208,000

Answers

Answer: 1. A. Access traditional sources and electronic sources.

2. B. Conduct an informal survey

3. A. Formal. On the Internet, find statistics gathered by the United Nations showing the dropout rates of students by gender and age. Request that certain reports be sent to you, so you can examine the date yourself.

Explanation:

1. This is a research into the history of the internet in professional Environments. Considering how long the internet has been around which isn't too long but long enough that first hand information is not readily available, consulting Traditional sources and Electronic sources is the best way to go.

It will have information from the past that you can use to come up with a chronological report on the use of the internet in a professional setting.

2. This is not a serious research and involves your immediate surroundings so an informal method can be used. The best informal method would be an informal survey amongst your co-workers who are also affected by the problem. This survey will help you come up with a solution faster and easier because you are getting first hand information from those directly affected.

3. You are working for an International Development Agency and as such can not afford to present information that is false or void of due procedure in way because it will affect the reputation of the Agency if you do so.

For this reason your sources must be formal sources with definite information and the United Nations is a very good source for that. To go a step further you can request reports and double check the figures yourself to ensure that the information used is of the highest quality and accuracy.

Explain. The slopes of the tangent lines are negative, but the tangents are becoming steeper. So the tangent lines lie below the curve f. Thus, the estimates are too large. The slopes of the tangent lines are negative, but the tangents are becoming steeper. So the tangent lines lie below the curve f. Thus, the estimates are too small. The slopes of the tangent lines are positive, but the tangents are becoming less steep. So the tangent lines lie above the curve f. Thus, the estimates are too large. The slopes of the tangent lines are positive, but the tangents are becoming less steep. So the tangent lines lie above the curve f. Thus, the estimates are too small.
