​Brown's, a local​ bakery, is worried about increased costs particularly energy. Last​ year's records can provide a fairly good

estimate of the parameters for this year. Wende​ Brown, the​ owner, does not believe things have changed​ much, but she did invest an additional ​$3,000 for modifications to the​ bakery's ovens to make them more energy efficient. The modifications were supposed to make the ovens at least 20​% more efficient. Brown has asked you to check the energy savings of the new ovens and also to look over other measures of the​ bakery's productivity to see if the modifications were beneficial. You have the following data to work​ with:
Last Year Now
Production​ (dozen) 1,500 1,500
Labor​ (hours) 340 320
Capital Investment​ ($) 15,000 18,000
Energy​ (BTU) 3,200 2,800

Energy productivity increase​ =_______________

Answer: a. 12.5%

b. -16.67%

c. 5.88%

Explanation:

a. Energy Change will be:

(Production x 12)/Energy

Last year : (1500 × 12)/3200

= 5.625loaves/BTU

Now : (1500 × 12)/2800

= 6.42857 loaves/BTU

Percent Change will be:

= [6.42857 - 5.625]/6.42857 × 100

= 12.5%

b. Capital productivity increase will be:

= Production x 12)/Capital investment

Last year : (1500 × 12)/15000

= 1.2loaves/BTU

Now : (1500 × 12)/18000

= 1 loaves/BTU

Percent Change will be:

= (1-1.2)/1.2 × 100

= -16.67%

b. Labor Change:

Last year : (1500 × 12)/340

= 52.94 loaves/labor hour

Now : (1500 × 12)/320

= 56.25 loaves/labor hour

Percent Change:

= (56.25 - 52.94/56.25) × 100

= 5.88%

Finding the required interest rate: Your parents will retire in 18 years. They currently have $250,000, and they think they will
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

i= 8% annual compunded

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Your parents will retire in 18 years. They currently have $250,000, and they think they will need $1,000,000 at retirement.

We need to calculate the interest rate required to reach the $1 million goal in 18 years without any additional deposit.

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

Isolating i:

i= [(FV/PV)^(1/n)] - 1

i= [(1,00,000/250,000)^(1/18)] - 1= 0.08

i= 8% annual compunded

Scott Corporation produces a part for use in the production of one of its products. The per-unit costs associated with the annua
denpristay [2]

Answer:

It is cheaper to buy the part. The company will save $5,000.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

UNitary production cost:

Direct Materials $10.50

Direct labor $24.00

Variable factory overhead $ 5.50

Total avoidable Fixed factory overhead= (12*1,000) - 5,000= 7,000

Larson Company has offered to sell 1,000 units of the same part to Scott Corporation for $42 per unit.

First, we need to calculate the total cost of making the units:

Total cost= (10.5 + 24 + 5.5)*1,000 + 7,000= $47,000

Now, the total cost of buying them:

Buy= 1,000*42= $42,000

It is cheaper to buy the part. The company will save $5,000.

Variable costs:

  • Brokerage fees $11,340
  • Carriage drivers $52,650

Operating profit                                             $103,305

2) If the total amount of passengers increase by 10%, then all variable costs will increase by 10% except brokerage fees which would increase only by 6%. Revenues should also increase by 10%. Period costs should not change.

Contribution margin should increase by 10.29% and operating profit would increase by 16.81%.

Explanation:

since the information is not complete, I looked it up:

Revenues

13,500 passengers:

8,100 x $23 = $186,300

5,400 x $15 = $81,000

variable costs:

fees paid to the city 10% of total revenue

souvenirs $0.55 per passenger

brokerage fees 60% of total tickets x $1.40

carriage drivers $3.90 per passenger

fixed costs:
