Sparkle Metallurgy, Inc. has two service departments (Human Resources and Building Maintenance) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The company allocates Building Maintenance cost on the basis of square footage and Human Resources cost on the basis of employees. It believes that Building Maintenance provides more service than Human Resources. The square footage and employees in each department follow. Square Footage Employees Human Resources 4,000 10 Building Maintenance 10,000 15 Machining 15,000 40 Assembly 21,000 60 Assuming use of the step-down method, which of the following choices correctly denotes the number of square feet and employees over which the Building Maintenance cost and Human Resources cost would be allocated (i.e., spread)?
a. 19,000.
b. 44,000.
c. 50,000.
d. 63,000.
Answer:
B.40,000 square feet
Explanation:
Calculation to correctly denotes the number of square feet and employees over which the Building Maintenance cost and Human Resources cost would be allocated
Employees Human Resources 4,000
Machining 15,000
Assembly 21,000
Number of square feet 40,000
(4,000+15,000+21,000)
Therefore the number of square feet and employees over which the Building Maintenance cost and Human Resources cost would be allocated is 40,000

. Bartholomew Corp's master budget calls for the production of 6,000 units of products monthly. The master budget includes indirect labor of $396,000 annually; Bartholomew considers indirect labor to be a variable cost. During the month of September, 5,600 units of product were produced, and indirect labor costs of $30,970 were incurred. A performance report utilizing flexible budgeting would report a flexible budget variance for indirect labor of:
Answer:
$170 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Budgeted monthly indirect labor = $396,000/12 = $33,000
Budgeted indirect labor per unit = $33,000/6,000 = $5.5 per unit
Flexible budgeted cost = 5,600*$5.5 = $30,800
Flexible budget variance = Actual cost - Flexible cost
Flexible budget variance = $30,970 - $30,800
Flexible budget variance = $170 Unfavorable

Explanation:
The objectives of labor unions frequently shift with social and economic trends. In the 1970s, the primary objective was additional pay and benefits for members. In the 1980s, job security and union recognition were uppermost. In the 1990s and into the 2000s, unions again focused on job security due to the growth of global competition and outsourcing. Organized labor has also strongly opposed the increase in offshore outsourcing, claiming this practice will cost U.S. jobs. Labor unions generally insist that a contract contain a union security clause stipulating that employees who reap union benefits either officially join or at least pay dues to the union. Edward was recently transferred to a location in a new state. He was surprised that he was not required to be in the union in the new state, but he was in the old state. He later learned that the new state passed a provision giving him the choice.
a. Open shop agreement
b. Union shop agreement
c. Agency shop agreement & Right-to-work law
Answer:
The provision passed by the new state giving Edward the choice is called:
a. Open shop agreement.
Explanation:
The open shop agreement allows Edward but does not oblige him to be a union member before he can be hired in the new state. This means that the choice to belong to a union should be made by Edward and not his employer. It is not like a closed shop agreement, where Edward must be required to be a union member to be employed.
LJM Corporation includes two divisions, Shay Division and Patty Division. The Shay Division makes specialized filters, including one that could be used by the Patty Division. Costs for the filter are variable costs, $16; fixed costs, $20. Shay Division has capacity to make 20,000 of the filters, and it is operating at capacity. It sells the filters to other companies for $52 each. The Patty Division needs 8,000 filters per year, and it has been purchasing them from another company for $45 each. Required: 1) If a transfer were to occur between Shay Division and Patty Division, what is the maximum that Patty Division should be willing to pay for the filters? 2) If a transfer were to occur between Shay Division and Patty Division, what is the minimum price that Shay Division should be willing to accept?
Answer:
LJM Corporation
1. The Maximum price that Patty Division should be willing to pay for the filters is: $45.
2. Minimum price that Shay Division should be willing to accept is: $52.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Shay Division Patty Division
Costs:
Variable costs $16
Fixed costs 20
Sales/purchase price 52 $45
Capacity/requirement 20,000 8,000
Maximum price that Patty Division should be willing to pay for the filters is: $45.
Minimum price that Shay Division should be willing to accept is: $52.
b) The minimum transfer price should be determined based on the variable costs and the opportunity costs. The opportunity cost for Shay Division is $36 ($52 - $16). For Patty Division, the maximum price it should be willing to pay is the opportunity cost, which is the price Patty pays when it buys the filters from the market.

Exercise 23-2 Make or buy LO P1 Gelb Company currently manufactures 43,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $5.15 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $73,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $78,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.70 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 43,000 units and buying 43,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer:
If the company buys the units, it will save $135,350.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 43,000
Make in-house:
Variable costs are $5.15 per unit
Avoidable fixed costs= $73,000
Buy:
Unitary cost= $3.7
We will take into account only the incremental cost, therefore, the unavoidable fixed costs will not be taken into account.
Total cost of production= 43,000*5.15 + 73,000= $294,450
Total cost of purchase= 3.7*43,000= $159,100
If the company buys the units, it will save $135,350.

The company estimates that it can issue debt at a rate of rd = 10%, and its tax rate is 30%. It can issue preferred stock that pays a constant dividend of $5 per year at $48 per share. Also, its common stock currently sells for $33 per share; the next expected dividend, D1, is $4.00; and the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% per year. The target capital structure consists of 75% common stock, 15% debt, and 10% preferred stock.
Required:
a. What is the cost of each of the capital components?
b. What is Adamson's WACC?
Answer:
a. Cost of debt = Interest * (1 - Tax rate)
= 10%*(1 - 0.30)
= 7%
Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/ Issue price
= 5/48
= 10.42%
Cost of common stock (Cost of retained earnings) = (D1/P0) + g
= (4/33) + 0.07

g Comfi Airways, Inc., a small two-plane passenger airline, has asked for your assistance in some basic analysis of its operations. Both planes seat 10 passengers each, and they fly commuters from Comfi’s base airport to the major city in the state, Metropolis. Each month, 40 round-trip flights are made. Shown below is a recent month’s activity in the form of a cost-volume-profit income statement. Fare revenues (400 passenger flights) $48,000 Variable costs Fuel $16,960 Snacks and drinks 720 Landing fees 2,100 Supplies and forms 1,100 20,880 Contribution margin 27,120 Fixed costs Depreciation 3,100 Salaries 11,600 Advertising 600 Airport hanger fees 1,650 16,950 Net income $10,170 Calculate the break-even point in dollars.

Break-even point $Type your answer here eTextbook and MediaAssistance Used If ticket prices were decreased by 10%, passenger flights would increase by 25%. However, total variable costs would increase by the same percentage as passenger flights. (1) How much would net income be impacted by this change? Net income to $ (2) Should the ticket price decrease be adopted?
Answer:
Comfi Airways, Inc.
a. Break-even point in sales dollars = $30,000
b. Break-even point in passenger flights = 250
c. Contribution at break-even point = fixed costs = $16,950
d. Net income will increase to $10,950 (an increase of $780).
e. Yes. The ticket price decrease should be adopted.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of airplanes = 2
Maximum number of passengers per flight = 10
Number of round-trip flights each month = 40
Number of passenger flights = 400 (40 * 10)
Total Unit
Fare revenues $48,000 $120 ($48,000/400)
Variable costs:
Fuel $16,960
Snacks and drinks 720
Landing fees 2,100
Supplies and forms 1,100 20,880 $52.20 ($20,880/400)
Contribution margin 27,120 $67.80 ($27,120/400)
Fixed costs:
Depreciation 3,100
Salaries 11,600
Advertising 600
Airport hanger fees 1,650 $16,950
Net income $10,170
Contribution margin ratio = $67.80/$120 = 0.565
Break-even point in sales dollars = Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio
= $16,950/0.565
= $30,000
Break-even point in sales units = Fixed costs/Contribution per unit
= $16,950/$67.80
= 250 passenger flights
Contribution at break-even point = Fixed costs = $16,950
Decrease of ticket prices by 10% from $120 to $108 ($120 * 90%)
Passenger flights increased to 500 (400 * 1.25)
Fare revenues = $54,000 (500 * $108)
Total variable costs increased to $26,100 ($20,880 * 1.25)
Contribution = $27,900
Fixed costs = $16,950
Net income = $10,950
Increase in net income = $780 ($10,950 - $10,170)

$13,325
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2
First step is to calculate the Variable cost per unit
Using this formula
Variable cost per unit = Change in costs ÷ Change in activity Cost of goods sold
Let plug in the formula
Variable cost per unit = (41,700 − 38,000) ÷ (4,500 units − 4,100 units)
Variable cost per unit =3,700/400
Variable cost per unit = $9.25 per unit
Second step is to calculate the Selling and administrative expense
Variable cost per unit = (17,500- 16,300) ÷ (4,500 units − 4,100 units)
Variable cost per unit =1,200/400 units
Variable cost per unit = $3.00 per unit
Now let calculate the Contribution margin in Year 2
Using this formula
Contribution margin = Sales revenue − Variable costs
Let plug in the formula
Contribution margin= $ 63,550 − [4,100 units × ($9.25 per unit + $3.00 per unit)]
Contribution margin=$ 63,550-(4,100 units×$12.25)
Contribution margin=$ 63,550-$50,225
Contribution margin = $13,325
Therefore Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2 is $13,325
Walmart and Target are the only stores in a remote town that currently stock and sell the PlayStation 5 video game console. Managers at both stores are simultaneously deciding whether to charge a price of $1,000 or $1,500 for each console. If both stores charge $1,000, they earn a profit of $100,000 each. If both stores charge $1,500, they earn a profit of $200,000 each. If one store charges $1,000 and the other store charges $1,500, the store that charges $1,000 earns a profit of $250,000 and the firm that charges $1,500 earns a profit of $50,000. If Walmart and Target ________, they can both charge $1,500 and earn the highest combined profit available.
Answer:
collude with each other
Explanation:
A monopoly market structure is the structure in which the chances of high profit are there. In the case when the two firms and they work together so that the can extract the maximum profits and after that they shared themselves
As in the given question, in the case when Walmart and Target collude with each other so they would charge $1.500 and earned highest profit available
The same would be considered
Bramble Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $325,000 (units 5,000); variable costs $212,000; and fixed costs $70,400. Management is considering the following independent courses of action to increase net income. Compute the net income to be earned under each alternative. 1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume. Net income $ 2. Reduce variable costs to 60% of sales. Net income $ 3. Reduce fixed costs by $18,000. Net income $ Which course of action will produce the highe
Answer
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information,
1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or variable cost
Net income = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost -
10% increase in selling price = $325,000 × 10% = $357,500
Net profit = $357,500 - $212,000 - $70,400
Net profit = $75,100
2. Reduce variable costs to 60% of sales
Variable costs = $325,000 × 60% = $195,000
Net profit = Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
Net profit = $325,000 - $195,000 - $70,400
Net profit = $59,600
3. Reduce fixed costs by $18,000
Net profit = Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
Net profit = $325,000 - $212,000 - $18,000
Net profit = $95,000

Explanation:
profit generated by corporations is known as ?
Answer: Net Income
Explanation:
Net Income is the profit made by a company after it has finished paying off all expenses including taxes and interest payments on debt.
Calculating the net income is the main purpose of the Income statement which is where we will see the expenses that the business is incurring and how much sales they are making to get such profits. This net income is then transferred to the Retained Earnings in the balance sheet.
XYZ Office Supplies is about to introduce a new customer service program that will affect all its 355 sales and service employees. Job duties will be changed, and the employee rewards system will be altered to fit this new customer focus. Moreover, the company wants to improve the efficiency of work processes, thereby removing some of the comfortable (and often leisurely) routines that employees have followed over the years. Top management is concerned about the different types of forces resisting change that the company will potentially experience during this change process. The employees at XYZ discreetly weaken the new customer service program to prove that the decision is wrong and that the new program is not effective. Which of the following reasons to resist change is depicted in this scenario?
a. induce organizational learning.
b. negotiate with the employees.
c. use the stress management technique.
d. create an urgency for change.
Answer: d. Create an urgency for change.
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the reason to resist change that is depicted in this scenario is creating an urgency for change.
The urgency for change can be seen in situations such as the shifting of the reward system towards the new customers, getting employees closer to the customers and also by making job roles to be more focused towards customer.
Therefore, the correct option is D.

Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) (LO 7.4) Mike purchases a new heavy-duty truck (5-year class recovery property) for his delivery service on April 30, 2017. No other assets were purchased during the year. The truck is not considered a passenger automobile for purposes of the listed property and luxury automobile limitations. The truck has a depreciable basis of $39,000 and an estimated useful life of 5 years. Assume half-year convention for tax. .
a. Calculate the amount of depreciation for 2017 using financial accounting straight-line depreciation (not the straight-line MACRS election) over the truck's estimated useful life.
b. Calculate the amount of depreciation for 2017 using the straight-line depreciation election, using MACRS tables over the minimum number of years with no bonus depreciation or election to expense
c.Calculate the amount of depreciation for 2017, including bonus depreciation but no election to expense, that Mike could deduct using the MACRS tables
d. Assume no income limit on the expense election. Calculate the amount of depreciation for 2017 including bonus depreciation and the election to expense that Mike can deduct.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The amount of depreciation for 2017 using financial accounting straight-line depreciation will be:
= $39000 × 8months/5 years
= $39000 × 8months / 60months
= $39000 × 8/60
= $5200
b. The amount of depreciation for 2017 using the straight-line depreciation election will be:
= $39000 × 10%
= $39000 × 0.1
= $3900
c. The amount of depreciation for 2017, including bonus depreciation but no election to expense, that Mike could deduct using the MACRS tables will be:
= ($39000/2) + $3900
= $19500 + $3900
= $23400
d. If there is no income limit on the expense election, the amount of depreciation for 2017 including bonus depreciation and the election to expense that Mike can deduct will be:
= $25000 + $7000 + $1400
= $33400
Gelb Company currently manufactures 47,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $6.25 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $85,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $84,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.70 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 47,000 units and buying 47,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer:
Gelb Company
1. The total incremental cost of making and buying 47,000 units is:
= $204,850.
2. Gelb should buy this component from the outside supplier. It is far cost-effective.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Required quantity of key component per year = 47,000 units
Variable costs per unit = $6.25
Avoidable fixed costs per year = $85,000
Unavoidable fixed costs per year = $84,500
Purchase price of component from outside supplier = $3.70 per unit
Incremental cost of making or buying the 47,000 units:
Make Buy Incremental Costs
Variable costs $293,750 $173,900 $119,850
Avoidable fixed costs 85,000 0 85,000
Total relevant costs $378,750 $173,900 $204,850
n 1982 the inflation rate hit 16%. Suppose that the average cost of a textbook in 1982 was $25. What was the expected cost in the year 2017 if we project this rate of inflation on the cost? (Assume continuous compounding. Round your answer to the nearest cent.) If the average cost of a textbook in 2012 was $150, what is the actual inflation rate (rounded to the nearest tenth percent)?
Answer:
Total number of years = 35
a. Expected cost in 2017 = $25 * e^(35*0.16)
Expected cost in 2017 = $25 * e^5.6
Expected cost in 2017 = $25 * 270.42
Expected cost in 2017 = $6,760.50
b. If the average cost of a textbook in 2012 was $150, then the actual inflation rate:
150 = 25 * e^(r*t)
150 = 25 * e^(r*30)
6 = e^(r*30)
Taking log base e on both side
30r = Ln6
30r = 1.7918
r = 1.7918/30
r = 0.05972667
r = 5.97%
So, actual inflation rate is 5.97%
