Brubaker Inc., a manufacturer of high-sugar, low-sodium, low-cholesterol frozen dinners, would like to increase its market share

in the Sunbelt. In order to do so, Brubaker has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City, Florida, area. Brubaker will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three buildings.
Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $610,000, useful life 25 years.
Building B: Lease for 25 years with annual lease payments of $70,000 being made at the beginning of the year.
Building C: Purchase for $650,000 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 25 years at a net annual rental of $6,000. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. Brubaker Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.


Instructions


In which building would you recommend that Brubaker Inc. locate, assuming a 12% cost of funds?

Answer: Building C

Explanation:

We will take out the present value of each of the alternative

A: PV = $610000

B: PV = 70000 + 70000×(P/A,12%,24) = 614902

Where, [P/A, r %, n] = [((1+r)^n -1)/(r(1+r)^n]

r=12%=12/100=0.12 ;  n=24

70000 + 70000 * [((1+0.12)^24 -1)/(0.12(1+0.12)^24]

= $614902

C: PV = 650000- 6000×(P/A,12%,25) = 602941

 recall, [P/A, r %, n] = [((1+r)^n -1)/(r(1+r)^n]

r=12%=12/100=0.12 ;  n=25

650000 - 6000 * [((1+0.12)^25 -1)/(0.12(1+0.12)^25]

= $602941

Thus, the minimum will be selected, that is building C

Incomplete manufacturing costs, expenses, and selling data for two different cases are as follows.(a) Indicate the missing amoun
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Incomplete manufacturing costs:

                                                              Case 1               Case 2

Direct materials used                          $9,700              $3,900

Direct labor                                             5,100                 8,100

Manufacturing overhead                       8,400                 4,100

Total manufacturing costs                  23,200               16,100

Beginning work in process inventory    1,100                 9,100

Ending work in process inventory        7,200                 3,100

Sales revenue                                     25,000              31,500

Sales discounts                                     2,600                 1,500

Cost of goods manufactured               17,100               22,100

Beginning finished goods inventory   5,000                 3,400

Goods available for sale                     22,100              25,500

Cost of goods sold                             18,600              22,900      

Ending finished goods inventory        3,500                 2,600

Gross profit                                          3,800                  7,100

Operating expenses                           2,800                  2,000

Net income                                          1,000                   5,100

Explanation:

To work out the missing figures involves some manoeuvres of the figures, working up or down as the case may be.  For example, to calculate the cost of goods sold in Case 1, I deducted the ending inventory of finished goods from the Goods available for sale.  With this figure, it becomes possible to work out the Gross profit and the Net income.

Levine Inc., which produces a single product, has prepared the following standard cost sheet for one unit of the product. Direct
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Total materials variance = (Actual quantity * Actual price) - (Standard quantity * Standard price)

= 2,850 - (230 * 14.4)

= 462 (Favourable)

Materials price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) * Actual quantity

= [1.8 - (2,850/1,500)] * 1,500

= 150 Unfavourable

Materials quantity variance = (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) * Standard price

= [(230 * 8) - 1,500] * 1.8

= 612 Favourable

Total labour variance = (Actual hours * Actual rate) - (Standard hours * Standard rate)

= 19,458 - (230 * 84)

= 138 Unfavourable

Labour price variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) *  Actual hours

= [14 - (19,458/1,410)] * 1,410

= 282 Favourable

Labour quantity variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) * Standard rate

= [(230 * 6) - 1,410] * 14

= 420 Unfavourable

Inseparability in services means consumers Multiple Choice are unable to differentiate price from quality. cannot separate thems
cestrela7 [59]

<u>Answer: </u>Option Consumer cannot separate the service itself from the deliverer of the service.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Inseparability means that the consumer does not see the service and provider of the service as varied things. Because of this inseparable concept the business in service industry concentrates on the quality of the people providing the service.

The consumer's service evaluation is inseparable from the service provider. The service providers have to take decisions according to this concept. If the organisations do not take these steps then they will miss in providing customer satisfaction.

Acton Corporation, which applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours, has provided the following data for its m
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Acton Corporation

The overhead for the year was:

$1,208 overapplied

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated manufacturing overhead $361,260

Estimated machine-hours 2,700

Predetermined overhead rate = $361,260/2,700 = $13.38

Actual manufacturing overhead $354,700

Actual machine-hours 2,660

Overhead applied = Actual machine hours * Predetermined overhead rate

= 2,660 * $13.38

= $355,908

Overapplied overhead = Overhead applied minus Actual overhead

= $355,908 - $354,700

= $1,208
