LO 8.4What is the main difference between a flexible budget and a master budget?

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Flexible budget and master budget are very different.

Explanation:

The "master budget" is the sum of all the budgets that are prepared by a company's various departments. They include financial statements that are budgeted, a financing plan and a cash forecast. They are based on one specific level of production.

A "flexible budget" is a budget that changes or adjusts when the level of activity changes. They are dynamic in nature and can be operated on many levels of output. It is realistic and not based on assumption.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

$27,333.33

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of income reported is shown below:

= Provided services to the customer + Payment received × number of months ÷ given number of months

= $25,000 + $12,000 × 7 months ÷ 36 months

= $25,000 + $2,333.33

= $27,333.33

The seven months is calculated from the June 1 to December 31. We assume the books are closed on December 31

Sale price $60 $100 Variable costs $35 $60 Machine hours required for 1 vase 1 2 Total fixed costs are $600,000, and Rose Incorp

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

a) CM1 = 25

CM2 = 40

b) CMmh1 = 25

CMmh2 = 20

c) 25,000 units of Vase 1 and 12,500 units of Vase 2

d) OI = $ 525,000

Explanation:

a. Determine the contribution margin per unit for each type of vase.

The contribution margin per unit is equal to the difference between the sale price and the variable cost per unit:

$CM_1=P_1-VC_1=60-35=25\\\\\\CM_2=P_2-VC_2=100-60=40$

b. Determine the contribution margin per machine hour for each type of vase.

For the Vase 1, the number of machine hours per unit is 1. So the contribution margin per machine hour for Vase 1 is equal to CM1=$25.

For the Vase 2, the number of machine hours per unit is 2. Then, the contribution margin per machine hour for Vase 2 is equal to CM2=$40/2=$20.

c. Determine the number of units of each style of vase that Rose Incorporated should produce to maximize operating income.

There are 3 restrictions:

- Max 25,000 units of Vase 1

- Max 25,000 units of Vase 2

- 50,000 hours of machine hour

As the contribution margin per machine hour is higher for the Vase 1, so we start producing the more we can of Vase 1. The limit is 25,000 units.

Then, we are left with 25,000 machine hours available for Vase 2. We can produce 25,000/2=12,500 units, which is under the market constraint.

d. What is the dollar amount of the maximum operating income as calculated in C above

The operating income for the mix proposed in C is:

$OI=CM_1*q_1+CM_2*q_2-FC\\\\OI=25*25,000+40*12,500-600,000\\\\OI=625,000+500,000-600,000\\\\OI=525,000$

I can only put away $2,000 a year toward retirement. I am 25 and plan on retiring at 65 and earning 5%. How much will I have at

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: $241,600

Explanation:

As this amount is a constant amount, it is an annuity. To find out the total amount after a certain period of time, use the future value of annuity formula.

Future value of annuity = Amount * [ {( 1 + rate) ^number of periods - 1} / rate]

Number of periods = 65 - 25 = 40

Future value of annuity = 2,000 * [ {(1 + 5%)⁴⁰ - 1} / 5%]

= 241,599.54

= $241,600
