As a result of this budget report, Joe was called into the president's office and congratulated on his fine sales performance. He was reprimanded, however, for allowing his costs to get out of control. Joe knew something was wrong with the performance report that he had been given. However, he was not sure what to do, and comes to you for advice.

Prepare a budget report based on flexible budget data to help Joe. (List variable costs before fixed costs. Do not leave any answer field blank. Enter 0 for amounts.)

Sales in units              10,000      10,000        0                  Neither

Flexed Variable Expenses:

Total  Expenses     $13,900    $12,600         $1,300          Favorable

Explanation:

a) Budgeted Variable Costs were flexed as follows:

i) Sales Commission = $1,872/7,800 x 10,000 = $2,400

ii) Advertising Expenses = $936/7,800 x 10,000 = $1,200

iii) Travel Expense = $3,120/7,800 x 10,000 = $4,000

iv) Free Samples = $1,794/7,800 x 10,000 = $2,300

b) The fixed costs could not be flexed as they remain invariable no matter the activity level.

c) Flexible budget is a budget that adjusts or flexes with changes in volume or activity.  It is a more accurate way of assessing performance because it is based on actual volume or activity level unlike a static budget, which remains unchanged.

Depending on whether you are an investor or the corporation, a bond is more or less riskier than a stock.

If you are an investor, buying a bond is safer than buying stock since in a worse case scenario where the company goes bankrupt, bond holders are paid before than stockholders. Also bonds provide fixed periodic payments (coupons) and a final payment of the face of the bond at maturity date.

If you are the corporation, issuing bonds is riskier than issuing stock since you have the obligation of making fixed periodic payments to bondholders (coupons) and must pay the face value at maturity date. On the other hand corporations don't have any legal obligation to pay dividends.

Gennadij [26K]

When using <u>Ranking</u>, finalists are ordered from the most desirable to the least desirable based on results of discretionary assessments.

Operations control is chiefly worried about planning, organizing, and supervising inside the contexts of manufacturing, manufacturing, or the availability of services. As such, it's far delivery-focused, ensuring that a company correctly turns inputs to outputs in a green manner.

It actually approaches the cease-to-stop technique of shifting and storing elements of completed and unfinished goods. as an example, a vehicle production business enterprise will save and transfer automobiles (or their components) in a scientific manner.

The number one goal of operations control is to utilize the sources of the enterprise, to create such services or products that fulfill the needs of the clients, with the aid of offering “proper component at the right rate, vicinity and time”.
