Selling price per unit $ 161.88 $ 350.41 $ 446.71
Variable cost per unit $ 116.12 $ 279.11 $ 338.71
Minutes on the constraint 2.60 4.60 7.50
Rank the products in order of their current profitability from most profitable to least profitable. In other words, rank the products in the order in which they should be emphasized. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:A. LN, JQ, RQ

Explanation:

To know the current profitability, we need to determine the contribution margin unit  by the minutes on the constraints .

a) For LN  

Contribution by unit =  Selling price per unit- Variable cost per unit

$ 161.88 -$116.12 = $45.76

Contribution by the minutes = Contribution by unit / Minutes on the constraint

= $45.76/ 2.60 = 17.60

B) For JQ

Contribution by unit =  Selling price per unit- Variable cost per unit

$ 350.41 -$279.11 = $71.3

Contribution by the minutes = Contribution by unit / Minutes on the constraint

= $71.3/ 4.60 = 15.50

c) For RQ  

Contribution by unit =  Selling price per unit- Variable cost per unit

$ 446.71 -$338.71 = $108

Contribution by the minutes = Contribution by unit / Minutes on the constraint

= $108/ 7.50 = 14.40

In order of their current profitability from most profitable to least profitable, We have LN with 17.60, next JQ with 15.50 and the least RQ with 14.40

Assume Maine Line Railway is considering hiring a reservations agency to handle passenger reservations. The agency would charge
inna [77]

Answer:

$214,000

Explanation:

The total reservation cost per month is given by the following expression:

R = \$14,000+\$1*n

Where 'n' is the number of monthly reservations.

If there are 200,000 reservations for passengers taking a trip next month, the reservation cost is:

R = \$14,000+\$1*200,000\\R=\$214,000

Total reservation cost is $214,000.

julsineya [31]

Answer: It always comes after the fact.

Explanation:

Feedback is very important for a company. It helps them know where they need to improve on so that they can offer better services ti customers. It also fosters good relations with customers as they will feel their input is taken into account.

Unfortunately though the whole premise of Feedback is that it's based on information of an event that has already happened and SOMETIMES CANNOT BE CHANGED. This is a very huge drawback but one that is implicit in the process itself.

Degger [83]

Answer:

Part a

2021  = $7,000

2022  = $6,000

Part b

2021  = $5,250

Explanation:

Sum of the year`s digit method provide for higher depreciation in early life of the asset with lower depreciation in later years.

Step 1

<em>Some of digits calculation :</em>

Year      Digits

2021        7

2022       6

2023       5

2024       4

2025       3

2026       2

2027        1

Total      28

Step 2

<em>Determine the depreciable amount</em>

Depreciable amount = Cost - Residual value

                                   = $40,000 - $12,000

                                   = $28,000

Step 3

<em>Depreciation expense calculations</em>

2021 = 7 / 28 x $28,000 = $7,000

2022 = 6/ 28 x $28,000 = $6,000

assuming the equipment was purchased on March 31, 2021

2021 = $7,000 x 9/12 = $5,250
