Answer:
Pam and Lenny's Ice Cream Shop
a. The effect of the promotion on operating income for the second week of February is an increase by $350.
b. The promotion should occur. The shop will make additional operating income of $350 within the second week. And there will be spillover positive effects during the coming weeks after the promotion.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per cone of ice cream = $1.60
Variable expenses = $0.35
Contribution = $1.25
Fixed costs per month = $2,200
Additional sales from the promotion = 650 cones
Revenue from additional sales = $1,040.00 ($1.60 * 650)
Variable cost 227.50 ($0.35 * 650)
Cost of promotions:
Giveaways 297.50 ($0.35 * 850)
Advertising costs 165.00
Total costs $690.00
Additional income $350.00
Answer:
$532.24
Explanation:
Since Mr. Wise will be making monthly payments for the period of 25 years in order to accumulated the $1,000,000 at the end of 25 years, therefore, the future value of annuity shall be used to determine the monthly payments to be deposited by Mr Wise. The formula of future value of annuity is given as follows:
Future value of annuity=R[((1+i)^n-1)/i]
In the given scenario:
Future value of annuity=amount after 25 years=$1,000.000
R=monthly payments to be deposited by Mr Wise=?
i=interest rate per month=12/12=1%
n=number of payments involved=25*12=300
$1,000,000=R[((1+1%)^300-1)/1%]
R=$532.24
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
A rent ceiling is a government regulation that makes it illegal to charge a rent higher than a specified level. Meaning that the landlord of a building cannot charge a rent amount higher than the maximum price set forth by the rent ceiling. Landlords that violate this law are usually fined by the government as a consequence.
Answer:
$60 per unit
Explanation:
Total overheads:
= Overheads of fabrication department + Overheads of assembly department
= $90,500 + $109,700
= $200,200
Total labor hours:
= Blinks + Dinks
= (1,013 × 4) + (1,859 × 5)
= 4,052 + 9,295
= 13,347
Overhead rate per hour = Total overheads ÷ Total labor hours
= $200,200 ÷ 13,347
= $15 per hour
Total overhead cost for blinks:
= Total hours for blinks × rate per hour
= 4,052 × $15 per hour
= $60,780
Overhead cost per unit for Blinks:
= Total overhead cost for blinks ÷ Total units
= $60,780 ÷ 1,013
= $60 per unit
Answer:
MW Company
Activity rate for order process = $54,120/660
= $82 per order
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production = 16,500 units
Direct labor = 19,800 hours
Machine hours = 21,450 hours
No. of orders = 660
No. of shipments = 165
Order-processing cost pool = $54,120
Shipping cost pool = $14,025
Assembly cost pool = $71,280
Activity rate for order process = $54,120/660
= $82 per order
b) MW Company uses an activity-based costing system to identify its activities into cost pools and assign the cost of each activity pool to the products and services according to their actual consumption of the activities. The activity-based costing technique provides a more accurate method for determining the costs of products and services. As a more accurate method for pricing decisions than other traditional methods, activity-based costing technique increases management's understanding of overheads and cost drivers and makes activities that are costly and non-value adding to become more visible, allowing managers to reduce or eliminate them, because these activities add costs to the production system.
