Answer:

In the flexible budget for October Other Expenses would be closest to $38,200.

Further Explanation:

  • Flexible budget is defined as the budget which is flexible with number of units produced in the accounting period concerned, after putting the values of variable and fixed expenses in a combined format, we put the actual expensed values to calculate the variances.
  • In the given instance, the flexible budget is prepared for the month of October only, and not for the complete accounting year.
  • Even in the flexible budget, the value of fixed expenses do not alter as fixed expenses remain static, and do not change with the level of output.
  • Since the flexible budget has its own format, as follows: there is no title of other expenses, these will be clubbed with general and administration expense. In that we will also club the employee salary and wages fixed, as later will not form part of cost of goods sold, and only the variable part of the later amounting $1,000 per well serviced is part of cost of goods sold.

The calculation for the Gross Profit and Operating Income is shown in the attached table.

As stated in table , direct cost form part of cost of goods sold. Other expenses are selling and administration expense.

Employee salaries and wages are fixed for executives and not for labor, also labor is directly related to the product (here well servicing) therefore that cost is part of cost of goods sold and fixed portion is part of administration expense.

Further the office expense is also part of administration expense and not of direct cost related to the product.

Answer:

Average rate of return =  14 %

Explanation:

Average rate of return = Annual average return/ Average Investment

Average investment =( Initial investment + scrap value)/2

Average investment = 138,000 + 12,000/2 =75,000

Average annual return = Savings in cost - energy cost - depreciation

Depreciation = (initial cost - scrap value)/2= (138,000 - 12,000)/2= 12600

Average annual return = 29,780-6,680-12600= 10500

Average rate of return = 10,500/75,000 × 100= 14 %

Average rate of return =  14 %

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

If a company pays more in dividends than it generates in net income, its retained earnings as reported on the balance sheet will decline from the previous year's balance.

Explanation:

The dividend is shown while preparing the retained earning statement. So, it does not affect the net income.

The highly liquid marketable securities does not show a decline in the current assets

If the long term bonds are issued to purchase fixed assets it would show under the long term liabilities and the long term assets rather than the current assets and the current liabilities

Account receivable are reported in the current assets rather than the current liabilities

We know that

The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

If the dividend amount is more than the net income so the ending balance of retained earning will decline than its beginning year balance.
