Answer:

C. Create a rotating assignment so each team member shares note taking.

Explanation:

In the case noted in the question above, there is a situation that could be unpleasant if it were decided by some type of bias.

Therefore, the most appropriate alternative for the team to address this situation would be to create a rotating assignment for each team member to share the notes. This way it would not happen that a team member is always chosen to perform a task that causes dissatisfaction in the whole team. Creating a rotating assignment to carry out the task would guarantee the uniformity of the task assignment and avoid possible dissatisfactions, inequalities and interpersonal conflicts that could arise.

Complete question text:

1. Depreciation on the equipment for the month of January is calculated using the straight-line method. At the time the equipment was purchased, the company estimated residual value of $4,500 and two-year service life. <em>Equipment cost $16,000</em>

2. The company estimates future uncollectible accounts. The company determines $13,000 of accounts receivable on January 31 are past due, and 30% of these accounts are estimated to be uncollectible. The remaining accounts receivable on January 31 are not past due, and 4% of these accounts are estimated to be uncollectible.

Account Receivable 46,400

Allowance 4,300

Answer:

depreciation expense 479.17 debit

  accumulated depreciation - equipment 479.17 credit

-----

uncollectible account expense 2,236 debit

  allowance for uncollectible amount 2,236 credit

Explanation:

We solve for the yearly depreciation:

(cost - residual value) / useful life

(16,000 - 4,500) / 2 = 5,750 per year

monthly depreciation: 5,750 / 12 = 479,17

--------------------

We solve for the different receivables ages:

13,000 x 40% = 5,200

46,400 - 13,000 = 33,400 not past due

33,400 x 4% = 1,336

we add them together and get 6,536

now we compare against the current allowance to determiantethe adjustment:

6,536 - 4,300 = 2,236

5. Refer to the original data. By automating, the company could reduce variable expenses by $3 per unit. However, fixed expenses
gogolik [260]

Question Completion:

Due to erratic sales of its sole product - a high capacity battery for laptop computers - PEM, Inc., has been experiencing difficulties for some time.  The contribution format income statement for the most recent month is given as follows:

Sales (19,500 units at $30 per unit) $585,000

Variable expenses                              409,500

Contribution margin                             175,500

Fixed expenses                                    180,000

Net operating margin                           ($4,500)

Answer:

PEM, Inc.

a1) New CM ratio = 40%

a2) Break-even point in unit sales and dollars sales

i) Break-even point in unit sales = Fixed Expenses/Contribution per unit

= $237,000/$12

= 19,750 units

ii) Break-even point in dollars sales = Fixed Expenses/Contribution margin ratio

= $237,000/0.4

= $592,500

b. Contribution format income statements, based on sales of 20,800 units:

                                                             Without                With

                                                         Automation         Automation

Sales (20,800 units at $30 per unit) $624,000    $624,000 (20,800 * $30)

Variable expenses (20,800 at $21)     436,800       374,400 (20,800 * $18)

Contribution margin (20,800 * $9)      187,200       249,600 (20,800 * $12)

Fixed expenses                                    180,000       237,000

Net operating margin                            $7,200       $12,600

c) I would recommend that the company should automate its operations.  It will generate more net operating margin, equal to $5,400 ($12,600 - $7,200), when it automates than when it does not, assuming that it expects to sell 20,800 units.  

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable expenses reduction = $3 per unit

Old variable expenses per unit = $21 ($409,500/19,500)

New variable expenses per unit = $18 ($21 - $3)

New variable expenses = $351,000 ($18 * 19,500)

New Contribution Margin per unit = $12 ($30 - $18)

New Contribution margin ratio = $12/$30 * 100 = 0.4 or 40%

Old Fixed Expenses = $180,000

New Fixed Expenses = $237,000 ($180,000 + $57,000)

The Securities Investor Protection Corporation is a government agency charged with administering the liquidation of failed secur
deff fn [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

First of all, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation is not a government agency. The S.I.P.C was formed in 1970 under the Securities Investor Protection Act as a non-profit membership corporation.

In the unfortunate event that a securities firm fails (which is rather unlikely), the S.I.P.C steps in to help the investor. It can help by either transferring the accounts of the failed firm to a different firm or by liquidation.

Feldpausch Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system:
juin [17]

Answer:

Product margin per unit= $7.2

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity

Assembly $ 1,137,360 84,000 machine-hours

Processing orders $ 28,479 1,100 orders

Inspection $ 97,155 1,270 inspection-hours

First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate for each activity cost pool:

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Assembly= 1,137,360/84,000= $13.54 per machine hour

Processing= 28,479/1,100= $25.89 per order

Inspection= 97,155/1,270= $76.5 per inspection hour

We will calculate the total cost of production and then the unitary cost to determine the product margin:

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

The company makes 470 units of product W26B a year, requiring a total of 660 machine-hours, 50 orders, and 40 inspection-hours per year. The product's direct materials cost is $40.30 per unit and its direct labor cost is $42.22 per unit. The product sells for $118.00 per unit.

Total cost= 40.30*470 + 42.22*470 + (660*13.54 + 50*25.89 + 40*76.5)= 52,075.3

Unitary cost= 52,075.3/470= 110.80

Product margin= selling price - unitary cost= 118 - 110.8= $7.2
