Answer:
Beginning inventory = 80,650
Explanation:
Lets us use the following method to solve the given problem
Average Monthly Sales = 882000/12= 72,500
Required inventory = 72,500*127%= 90650
Beginning inventory of the component = 90650-(880,000-870,000) = 80,650
Salyers Family Inn is a bed and breakfast establishment in a converted 100 year-old mansion. The Inn's guests appreciate its gourmet breakfasts and individually decorated rooms. The Inn's overhead budget for the most recent month appears below: Activity Level 57 guests Variable overhead costs Supplies $148.20 Laundry 216.60 Fixed Overhead costs Utilities 170.00 Salaries and wages 4,310.00 Depreciation 2,340.00 Total Overhead Cost $7,184.80 The Inn's variable overhead costs are driven by the number of guests. What would be the total budgeted overhead cost for a month if the activity level is 53 guests. Group of answer choices $6,680.60 $26,154.40 $7,159.20 $7,184.80
Answer:
The budgeted overhead= $7,159.2
Explanation:
The budgeted Overhead cost can be determined as follow
The budgeted overhead= Fixed cost + variable cost
Fixed overhead cost = 170.00 + 4,310.00 + 2,340.00 = 6820
Variable cost per activity = ( 148.20 + 216.60)/57 = 6.4 per guest.
The budgeted cost equation = 6820 + 6.4 x
Where X represent the number of guest
The budgeted overhead = 6820 + (6.4 × 53)= $7,159.2
The budgeted overhead= $7,159.2
Balser Corporation manufactures and sells a number of products, including a product called JYMP. Results for last year for the manufacture and sale of JYMPs are as follows: Sales $ 960,000 Less expenses: Variable production costs $ 464,000 Sales commissions 144,000 Salary of product manager 100,000 Fixed product advertising 160,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 132,000 1,000,000 Net operating loss $ (40,000 ) Balser is trying to decide whether to discontinue the manufacture and sale of JYMPs. All expenses other than fixed manufacturing overhead are avoidable if the product is dropped. None of the fixed manufacturing overhead is avoidable. Assume that dropping Product JYMP would result in a $90,000 increase in the contribution margin of other products. If Balser chooses to discontinue JYMP, the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) of eliminating this product should be:
Answer:
$2,000 disadvantage
Explanation:
The computation of the annual financial advantage or disadvantage of eliminating the product is shown below:
Sales $960,000
Less Variable production costs ($464,000)
Less Sales commission ($144,000)
Less salary of product manager ($100,000)
Less fixed product advertising ($160,000.00)
Less contribution margin from other products ($90,000)
Income from JYMP 2,000.00
This is the financial disadvantage for eliminating the product of $2,000 so the company should continue to manufactured the JYMP
And the fixed cost is not considered here as it is not relevant because it has fixed in nature does not have create any impact whether company should manufactured the product or not
Which factors are relevant to the time a consumer spends looking at a product on the shelf prior to selection? The article "Effects of Base Price Upon Search Behavior of Consumers in a Supermarket" (J. Econ. Psycho., 2003: 637-652) reported the following data on elapsed time (sec) for fabric softener purchasers and washing-up liquid purchasers; the former product is significantly more expensive than the latter. These products were chosen because they are similar with respect to allocated shelf space and number of alternative brands. Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the true difference between the means for the two products.
Answer:
Shown below.
Explanation:
In this case we need to compute a 90% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean elapsed time (sec) for fabric softener purchasers and washing-up liquid purchasers.
It is provided that these products were chosen because they are similar with respect to allocated shelf space and number of alternative brands.
The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the true difference between the means, when the population standard deviations are not known, is given as follows:
[tex]CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n_{1}+n_{2}-2)}\times S_{p}\times\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}}[/tex]
Here,
[tex]\bar x_{1}=\text{sample mean for fabric softener purchasers}\\\bar x_{2}=\text{sample mean for washing-up liquid purchasers}\\S_{p}=\text{pooled standard deviation}[/tex]
The formula to compute the value of [pooled standard deviation is:
[tex]S_{p}=\sqrt{\frac{(n_{1}-1)s_{1}^{2}+(n_{2}-1)s_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}-2}}[/tex]

The requirement that certain professionals possess a license in order to work in a particular market has the effect of reducing the supply of those services, which in turn causes _________.
O price and the profits of firms in the market to increase.
O price to decrease and the profits of firms in the market to increase.
O price to increase and the profits of firms in the market to decrease.
O price and the profits of firms in the market to decrease.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The correct option is C :price to increase and the profits of firms in the market to decrease
This can be explained by the fact that, since it always been mandatory to possess a license in order to work in a particular market. This certainly reduces the competition in the market and thus, the prices would increase; therefore, as the firms have to pay for licence thus would reduce the profits of firm.
Managers must chart a company's strategic course by Multiple Choice ensuring excess production capacity and/or inventory. building a bigger dealer network. ensuring that marketing and promotion programs are state-of-the-art. developing a thorough understanding of the company's external and internal environments. competing fiercely for a share in the market.
Answer:
The correct answer is the fourth option: developing a thorough understanding of the company's external and internal environments.
Explanation:
To begin with, in order to understand that a company's strategy must be guided by thorough understanding of its external and internal environments it is necessary to understand that the system proposed is formed by several factors that influence it and therefore that a manager must study carefully those factors and that system in order to guide the company to a successful work and accomplish the goals by using a strategy that compresses all the information about those factors.
Lee is considering buying one of two newlyminusissued bonds. Bond A is a twentyminusyear, 7.5% coupon bond that is nonminuscallable. Bond B is a twentyminusyear, 8.25% bond that is callable after two years. Both bonds are comparable in all other aspects. Lee plans on holding his bond to maturity. What should Lee do if he feels that interest rates are going to decline by 2% in the near future and then remain relatively stable thereafter?
Answer:
Bond A will be purchased
Explanation:
He will purchase Bond A, since the 20-year interest payments are fixed guaranteed and can not be named called. When he buys bond B, after 2 years the corporation will actually call the bond, as it would be easier to call the bond and issue a new bond at a lesser interest rate.
When a bond is named it means the issuer takes the bond back and charges the holder the bond's face value (what the initial purchaser paid for it)
Here are the comparative income statements of Cullumber Corporation. CULLUMBER CORPORATION Comparative Income Statement For the Years Ended December 31 2022 2021 Net sales $639,400 $578,200 Cost of goods sold 464,800 433,400 Gross Profit 174,600 144,800 Operating expenses 70,500 43,000 Net income $ 104,100 $ 101,800 (a) Prepare a horizontal analysis of the income statement data for Cullumber Corporation, using 2021 as a base.

Answer:
Explanation:
Horizontal analysis of financial statements is a system of comparing each item of financial statement in a previous year to the current year with each line item analysis expressed in a horizontal pattern for clear comparison.
The change in growth is calculated by deducting the previous year's value of an item of the financial statement from the current year while the percentage growth is calculated by calculating the growth value as a percentage of the previous year value

Breckenridge Ski and Snow Board Rental Co. charges 67 for a one day rental. At that price they average renting 159 sets of apparatus. Their yield management consultant recommended they lower their price to 56. At that price the consultant expects their average daily rental will be 205 sets of apparatus. At those prices and demand, what elasticity of demand can be expected? (Solve to two decimal places.)
Answer:
Price elasticity of demand = 1.76
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand (PED) is the degree of responsiveness of demand to a change in price.
Where a percentage change in price produces a more than a proportional change in quantity, we say the product is price elastic. On the other hand, where a change in price produces a less than a proportional change in quantity demand, then demand is price inelastic
PED is computed as follows:
PED = % change in quantity /% change in Price
% change in demand = (56- 67)/67 × 100 = 28.93081761
% change in price =16.41791045
PED = 28.93/16.4179 = 1.762
Price elasticity of demand = 1.76
c. Assume that neither country experiences population growth or technological progress and that 6 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 15 percent of output each year and country B saves 23 percent of output each year. Using your answer from part b and the steady-state condition that investment equals depreciation, find the steady-state level of capital per worker (k∗) , income per worker (y∗) , and consumption per worker (c∗) for each country.
Answer:
Check Explanation.
Explanation:
Note that the production function of bother country = Y=F(K,L) = K L c : k^1/2 L^1/2.
Thus Y/L = b; b = k^1/2 L^1/2/ L.
b = k^1/2.
From the question we are given that L = 6% = 0.06.
Country A saves 15% = 15/100 = 0.15 and country B saves 23% = 23/100 = 0.23.
For country A,
(a). the steady state;
∆k = 0 = y - dk.
0 = 0.15 × k^1/2 - 0.06k.
K^1/2 = 2.5, k* = 6.25
(b). y = K^1/2 = (6.25)^1/2.
y* = 2.5
(c). C = 2.5 - (0.15 × 2.5) = 2.5 - 0.375.
C* = 2.125.
Then, for COUNTRY B.
(a). ∆k = 0 = y - dk.
0 = 0.25 × k^1/2 - 0.06k.
K^1/2 = 4.167, k* = 17.36
(b). y = K^1/2 = (17.36)^1/2.
y* = 4.167.
(c). C = 4.167 - (0.25 × 4.167) = 2.5 - 0.375.
C* = 3.127.
C* = 2.125.
Assume the following: WIP, beginning 2 comma 500 units (100% complete as to direct materials, 50% complete as to conversion costs) Started 10 comma 500 units during the period Total spoilage is 700 with normal spoilage is calculated to be 550 units Completed and transferred out during the period 6 comma 000 units WIP, ending 6 comma 300 units (100% complete as to direct materials, 60% complete as to conversion costs) Spoiled units 700 and inspection happens when the process is 20% complete All materials are added at the start of the process Under the weighted average method, would would be the equivalent units of work done for the period? A. 9 comma 920 B. 10 comma 190 C. 6 comma 000 D. 6 comma 300
Answer:
B. 10 comma 190
Or none of the given
Explanation:
Particulars Units % of Completion Equivalent Units
Materials Conversion Materials Conversion
Transferred 6000 100 100 6000 6000
+Ending WIP 6300 100 60 6300 3780
+Normal Spoilage 550 100 60 550 330
+Abnormal
Spoilage 150 100 60 150 90
Total 13000 10200
As we see the total weighted Equivalent units for materials are 13000
and for conversion are 10200 . So the correct choice would be 10190 that is choice B which the nearest answer of the choices given to the answer calculated .
Under weighted method the Transferred out units are added to the ending work in process and the normal and abnormal spoilage is also added to find the equivalent units of production.
The other answer would be none of the given choices if exact figures are to be matched.
Cawley Company makes three models of tasers. Information on the three products is given below.Tingler Shocker Stunner Sales $296,000 $504,000 $200,000 Variable expenses 145,000 190,000 135,000 Contribution margin 151,000 314,000 65,000 Fixed expenses 114,840 225,160 92,000 Net income $36,160 $88,840 $(27,000) Fixed expenses consist of $290,000 of common costs allocated to the three products based on relative sales, as well as direct fixed expenses unique to each model of $29,000 (Tingler), $79,000 (Shocker), and $34,000 (Stunner). The common costs will be incurred regardless of how many models are produced. The direct fixed expenses would be eliminated if that model is phased out.James Watt, an executive with the company, feels the Stunner line should be discontinued to increase the company’s net income.
(a) Compute current net income for Cawley Company. Net income $ ______
(b) Compute net income by product line and in total for Cawley Company if the company discontinues the Stunner product line. (Hint: Allocate the $290,000 common costs to the two remaining product lines based on their relative sales.)
Tingler Net Income $ _______
Shocker Net Income $ _______
Total Net Income $ _______
(c) Should Cawley eliminate the Stunner product line?
Why or why not?
Net income would _____ from $ ______to $ ________.
Answer:
Cawley Company
a) Current Net Income

Net Income 36,160 88,840 (27,000) 98,000
b) Net Income by product line with Stunner discontinued:
Tingler Shocker Total
Sales $296,000 $504,000 $800,000
Variable Costs 145,000 190,000 335,000
Contribution 151,000 314,000 465,000
Fixed Expenses 136,300 261,700 398,000
Net Income 14,700 52,300 67,000
c1) Cawley should not eliminate the Stunner product line.
c2) Net income would decrease from $98,000 to $67,000 if the Stunner product line is eliminated.
Explanation:
a) The decision to be made is whether to eliminate a product line or not. In making such decisions, the relevant costs to be considered are avoidable costs. Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable and should not be taken into account.
b) Stunner makes a Net Income of $31,000 without the allocated common fixed expenses. This shows that the allocated common fixed expenses is actually causing Stunner to record Net Loss. And when Stunner is eliminated the company is not better off.
c) Allocation of Fixed Expenses based on Sales:
Tingler = 296/800 * $290,000 = $107,300 Plus direct cost of $29,000 = $136,300
Shocker = 504/800 * $290,000 = $182,700 Plus direct of of $79,000 = $261,700
On December 12, 2021, an investment in equity securities costing $77,000 was sold for $94,000. The total of the sale proceeds was credited to the investment in equity securities account. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry to correct the error, assuming it is discovered before the books are adjusted or closed in 2021. (Ignore income taxes.) 2. Prepare the journal entry to correct the error assuming it is not discovered until early 2022. (Ignore income taxes.)
Answer:
1.
Dr. Investment Account $17,000
Cr. Gain on Sale $17,000
2.
Dr. retained Earning $17,000
Cr. Gain on Sale $17,000
Explanation:
1.
If an assets is sold more than the book value, then there is a gain on the sales of asset.
Gain on Sale = Sales Proceeds - Book value of Investment = $94,000 - $77,000 = $17,000
As sales proceeds of $94,000 are credited in the Investment account, which needs to be credited by $77,000 only. The excessive amount of $17,000 should be recorded in the Gain on sale account.
2.
Error is not discovered until 2022 and earning for 2021 was transferred to retained earning. So, adjustment should me made in the retained earnings to eliminate the effect.
On September 1, Jenkins Company purchased $2,520 of supplies on account. By the end of the calendar year, $2,000 of supplies remains. Required: 1. How much has been expensed by the end of the year? 2. How much will be in the Supplies account at the end of the year, after the adjusting entries have been prepared and posted?
Answer:
The amount expensed by the end of the year is $520.The balance in the supplies account at the end of the year, after the adjusting entries have been prepared and posted is $2,000.Explanation:
To calculate the amount of supplies that was expensed, we simply deduct the closing balance of $2,000 from the opening balance of $2,520, as follows: $2,520 - $2,000 = $520. So, the amount of $520 was expensed during the year and the appropriate entries recorded will be:
Debit Supplies expense $520
Credit Supplies $520
(To record the amount of supplies expensed)

The following information was drawn from the balance sheets of the Kansas and Montana companies: Kansas Montana Current assets $ 59,000 $ 78,000 Current liabilities 40,000 43,000 Required a. Compute the current ratio for each company. b. Which company has the greater likelihood of being able to pay its bills? c. Assume that both companies have the same amount of total assets. Speculate as to which company would produce the higher return-on-assets ratio.
Answer:
a) Current ratio for Kansas company is 1.475
Current ratio for Montana company is 1.814
b) Since the current ratio for the Montana company is more than that of the Kansas company which shows better liquidity, the Montana company has the greater likelihood of being able to pay its bills.
c) Kansas company would produce the higher return-on-assets ratio.
Explanation:
Current Assets Current liabilities
Kansas Company $ 59,000 $ 40,000
Montana Company $ 78,000 $ 43,000
a) To calculate the current ratio of A company
Current ratio = [tex]\frac{Current Assets}{Current Liabilities}[/tex]
Therefore current ratio for Kansas company = $ 59,000 ÷ $ 40,000 = 1.475
Current ratio for Montana company = $ 78,000 ÷ $ 43,000 = 1.814
Which of the following situations leads to an unplanned increase in inventories of $2.0 trillion? A. real GDP = $5.0 trillion and aggregate planned expenditures = $7.0 trillion B. real GDP = $5.0 trillion and aggregate planned expenditures = $5.0 trillion C. real GDP = $6.0 trillion and aggregate planned expenditures = $4.0 trillion D. real GDP = $8.0 trillion and aggregate planned expenditures = $5.0 trillion E. More information is needed about planned investment and actual investment.
Answer: C. real GDP = $6.0 trillion and aggregate planned expenditures = $4.0 trillion
Explanation:
Unplanned Inventory arises when Real GDP is larger than Planned Expenditure because it must satisfy the below formula,
Real GDP = Planned + Unplanned expenditure
For Option C,
Real GDP = 6.0 trillion,
Planned expenditure = 4.0 trillion
Unplanned Expenditure = Real GDP - Planned Expenditure
= $6.0 trillion - $4.0 trillion
= $2.0 trillion
Therefore Option C is correct as it led to a $2.0 trillion increase in Expenditure which translates to inventory.
Bakers' Town Bread is selling 1,500 shares of stock through a Dutch auction. The bids received are as follows: 200 shares at $17 a share, 400 shares at $15, 700 shares at $14, 400 shares at $13, and 200 shares at $11 a share. How much cash will the company receive from selling these shares of stock?
Answer:
$19,500
Explanation:
A Dutch auction is one of many common Auction types to buy or sell goods. Most generally, it means an auction where the auctioneer starts with a high selling price and decreases it until some buyer accepts the offer or arrives at a fixed reserve price.
Therefore in the given case, the cash received by the company from selling the shares of stock is
= 1,500 shares × $13
= $19,500
The $13 represent the highest bid price

Firm 1 produces output X with a cost function C_1(X)=\frac{X^2}{200}. Firm 2 produces output Y with a cost function C_2(X,Y)=\frac{Y^2}{100}-2X. Both firms face competitive markets. The competitive price of X is 6 and the competitive price of Y is \$ 5. There is no entry or exit into this market. What is the socially optimal production of X?
Answer:
800
Explanation:
The objective here is to determine the socially optimal production of X.
For this to occur ; it is crucial that both firm must merge together.
Therefore; the Profit will be = Total revenue - Total Cost
From the question; the total revenue = 6X + 5Y ; &
The total cost is : [tex]\dfrac{X^2}{200} + \dfrac{Y^2}{100} - 2X[/tex]
Now: The profit = [tex]6X+5Y - \dfrac{X^2}{200}- \dfrac{Y^2}{100}-2X[/tex]
= [tex]8X+5Y - \dfrac{X^2}{200}- \dfrac{Y^2}{100}[/tex]
If the socially optimal production of X is the differential of the equation [tex]8X+5Y - \dfrac{X^2}{200}- \dfrac{Y^2}{100}[/tex]
(X) = [tex]8-\frac{2X}{200} =0[/tex]
= [tex]8-\frac{X}{100} =0[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{X}{100}=8[/tex]
= 800
Thus the social optimal production of X = 800
Which of the following is false? Economists who advocate discretionary monetary policy argue that it is more likely to achieve the desired economic results because the monetary authority has the flexibility to shape the best monetary policy to the existing circumstances. Here is an example of zero crowding out: The government spends $100 more and the private sector doesn’t spend any less. Here is an example of complete crowding out: The government spends $100 more and the private sector spends $100 less. Not all economists believe that rule-based monetary policy is preferable to discretionary monetary policy. none of the above
Answer: None of the above
Explanation:
All of the above are correct.
For option A, Economists who advocate discretionary monetary policy do indeed believe that the monetary authority using this policy is more flexible to shape the best monetary policy to the existing circumstances.
Option B is also correct because Crowding out occurs when the government increases investment by borrowing which leaves less money for the private sector to borrow so they spend less. The government spent money here yet the private sector did not spend less so it is Zero Crowing out.
Option C by option B's explanation holds true because the entire amount the Government increased by was denied the private sector.
Option D is also true as not all Economists prefer rule-based monetary policy to discretionary monetary policy.
They are all true.
Bob, Kara, and Mark are partners in the BKM Partnership. Bob is a 40% partner and has a June 30 tax yearminus−end. Kara owns a 40% interest in the partnership and has a September 30 tax yearminus−end, and Mark owns the remaining 20% interest and has an October 31 tax yearminus−end. The partnership does not have a natural business year. What is the required tax yearminus−end for the partnership (if no Sec. 444 election is made)? A. September 30 B. October 31 C. December 31 D. June 30
Answer:
D. June 30
Explanation:
Since no Sec. 444 election is made, the required tax yearmius-end for the partnership will be the tax yearminus−end of a partner with at least 40% interest.
Since Bob is a 40% partner and has a June 30 tax yearminus−end, therefore, the required tax yearminus−end for the partnership is June 30.
Using the following accounts and an overhead rate of 140% of direct labor cost, compute the amount of applied overhead. Work in Process Inventory Beginning WIP 35,100 Direct materials 57,200 Direct labor ? Factory Overhead ? To Finished Goods 213,300 Ending WIP 25,100 Finished Goods Inventory Beginning FG 5,100 Cost of Goods Mfg'd 213,300
Answer:
$85,225
Explanation:
The computation of the applied overhead is shown below:
Let us assume that the Direct labor be X
And, the factory overhead be 1.4X
As we know that
Cost of goods manufactured = Beginning work in process + direct material + direct labor + factory overhead - ending work in process
$213,300 = $35,100 + $57,200 + X + 1.4X - $25,100
$213,300 = $67,200 + 2.4X
$146,100 = 2.4X
X = $60,875
And, the factory overhead is
= $60,875 × 1.4
= $85,225
hence, the applied overhead is $85,225

You want to invest in a project in LaLaLand. The project has an initial cost of LLL 757,000 and is expected to produce cash inflows of LLL 396,000 a year for 3 years. The project will be worthless after that. The expected inflation rate in LaLaLand is 4% while it is only 3% in the U.S. The applicable interest rate for a project like this in LaLaLand is 12%. The current spot exchange rate is LLL1 = $2.3456.
What is the Net Present Value of this project in Lalaland's currency.(i.e., in "LLL")?
Answer:
194,112.8
Explanation:
The computation of Net Present Value is shown below:-
Net Present Value = Present value of cash inflows - Present value of Cash outflows
= -757,000 + 396,000 × PVAF (12%, 3 years)
= -757,000 + 396,000 × 2.4018
= -757,000 + 951,112.8
= LLC 194,112.8
= 194,112.8
Therefore for computing the net present value we simply applied the above formula.
Galla Inc. needs to determine a price for a new product. Galla desires a 25% markup on the total cost of the product. Galla expects to sell 6420 units. Additional information is as follows: Variable product cost per unit $ 23 Variable administrative cost per unit 25 Total fixed overhead 46,500 Total fixed administrative 30,540 Using the total cost method what price should Galla charge?
Answer:
The price Galla should charge is $75
Explanation:
Solution
Now
The total cost = variable product cost + variable administrative cost + fixed overhead + fixed administrative
= ($23 * 6,420) + ($25 * 6,420) + $46,500 + $30,540
= $147,660 + $160,500 + $46,500 + $30,540
= $385,200
Thus,
The total cost per unit = Total cost / units
= $385,200 / 6,420 units
= $60
Hence
The selling price should charge = Cost per unit * 1.25
= $60 * 1.25
= $75
Scenario 28-1 Suppose that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the entire adult population of Mankiwland can be categorized as follows: 25 million people employed, 3 million people unemployed, 1 million discouraged workers, and 1 million people who are either students, homemakers, retirees, or other people not seeking employment. Refer to Scenario 28-1. What is the unemployment rate?
Answer:
10.7%
Explanation:
Solution:
Recall that:
The Reports from Bureau of labor statistics is shown as follows:
Employed people = 25 million
Unemployed people = 3 million
Discouraged workers = 1 million
Workers or Homemakers or retirees, or students = 1 million
The next step from this scenario is to find out the unemployment rate
Now,
The rate of unemployed = (unemployed x 100 ) / labor force
= 300/28
=10.7%
Zanny Moldings has the following estimated costs for the upcoming year:
Direct materials used $25,800
Direct labor costs $62,600
Salary of factory supervisor $37,600
Advertising expense $33,800
Heating and lighting costs for factory $22,000
Depreciation on factory equipment $5600
Sales commissions $8100
The company estimates that 2100 direct labor hours will be worked in the upcoming year, while 2700 machine hours will be used during the year. The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour is closest to:____________
A) $72.
B) $51.
C) $29.
D) $31.
Answer:
D) $31.
Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ estimated direct labor hours
where,
Estimated manufacturing overhead is
= Salary of factory supervisor + Heating and lighting costs for factory + Depreciation on factory equipment
= $37,600 + $22,000 + $5,600
= $65,200
And, the direct labor hours is 2,100
So, the predetermined overhead rate is
= $65,200 ÷ 2,100
= $31
The area manager of the Red, White, and Brew Restaurants is considering two possible expansion alternatives. The required investments, expected controllable margins, and the ROIs of each are as follows:
Project Investment Controllable Margin ROI
Phoenix $120,000 $30,000 25%
Chicago $540,000 $50,000 9.25%
The Red, White, and Brew segment has currently $2,000,000 in invested capital and a controllable margin of $250,000.
1. Which one of following projects will increase the Red, White, and Brew division’s ROI?
O Both the Phoenix and Chicago optionsO Only the Phoenix optionO Only the Chicago optionO Neither the Phoenix nor the Chicago options
Answer:
Only the Phoenix
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
ROI of Red, White And Brew Segment = Controllable Margin ÷ Total Investment × 100
$250,000 ÷ $2,000,000 × 100 = 12.5%
ROI of Phoenix = 25%
ROI of Chicago = 9.25%
So only phoenix will increase the red, white and brew division’s ROI, Because Chicago ROI is less than ROI of Red, White and Brew Segment.
