Which of the following statements about a company's strategy is true? A company's strategy is mostly hidden to outside view and

is deliberately kept under wraps by top-level managers (so as to catch rival companies by surprise when the strategy is launched). A company's strategy is typically planned well in advance and usually deviates little from the planned set of actions and business approaches because of the risks of making on-the-spot changes. A company's strategy generally changes very little over time unless a newly appointed CEO decides to take the company in a new direction with a new strategy. A company's strategy is typically a blend of proactive and reactive strategy elements.

Please see answer in explanatory column

Explanation:

Journal for  Budgetary entries

a) Anticipated revenues are $11.8 million; anticipated expenditures and encumbrances are $8.0 million

Account                                        Debit                Credit

Estimated Revenue control  $11,800,000

Appropriation control                                            $8,000,000    

Budgetary fund                                                      $3,800,000

Calculation

Budgetary fund = Estimated Revenue control  $11,800,000-

Appropriation control   $8,000,000 = $3,800,000        

b)Anticipated revenues are $8.0 million; anticipated expenditures and encumbrances are $9.4 million.

Account                                        Debit                Credit

Estimated Revenue control   $8,000,000

Budgetary fund                        $1,400,000

Appropriation control                                            $9,400,000

Budgetary fund = Estimated Revenue control  $8,000,000-

Appropriation control   $9,400,000 = -$1,400,000  , therefore will be debited

c)Anticipated revenues are $9.4 million; anticipated transfers from other funds are $1.6 million; anticipated expenditures and encumbrances are $8.0 million; anticipated transfers to other funds are $0.7 million

Account                                          Debit                             Credit

Estimated Revenue control         $9,400,000

Estimated other finance source control$1,600,000

Appropraition control                                                 $8,000,000

Estimated other finance source control                     $700,000

Budgetary fund                                                            $2,300,000

Budgetary fund = Estimated Revenue control +Estimated other finance source control) -Appropriation control + Estimated other finance source control=  $9,400,000 +$1,600,000)- $8,000,000 + 700,000 ) = 11,000,000 - $8,700,000 =$2,300,000  

d)Anticipated revenues are $8.6 million; anticipated transfers from other funds are $1.1 million; anticipated expenditures and encumbrances are $9.7 million; anticipated transfers to other funds are $1.0 million.

Account                                          Debit                             Credit

Estimated Revenue control           $8,600,000

Estimated other finance source control$1,100,000

Budgetary fund                                    $1,000,000

Appropraition control                                                 $9,700,000

Estimated other finance source control                     $1,000,000

Budgetary fund = Estimated Revenue control +Estimated other finance source control) -Appropriation control + Estimated other finance source control=  $8,600,000 +$1,100,000)- $9,700,000 + 1,000,000 ) = 9,700,000 - $10,700,000 =-$1,000,000  so will be debited

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

d. $489,500

Explanation:

The capitalized cost will include all the costs incurred by Holiday laboratories to readily make the asset for use.

Therefore,

Capitalized cost = High speed industrial centrifuge + Shipping cost + Foundation cost + Equipment cost + Labor and testing cost + Material cost

= $440,000 + $30,000 + $8,600 + $3,000 + $5,300 + $2,600

= $489,500

Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for S25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

1A. Compute the CM ratio and the break-even point in balls.

  • CM ratio = 2.5
  • break even point = 21,000 balls

1B. Compute the degree of operating leverage at last year.

  • 31.82%

2. Due to an increase in labor rates, the company estimates that variable expenses will increase by $3 per ball next year. If this change takes place and the selling price per ball remains constant at $25, what will be the new CM ratio and break-even point in balls?

  • CM ratio = 3.57
  • break even point = 30,000 balls

3. Refer to the data in (2) above. If the expected change in variable expenses takes place, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, last year?

  • 42,858 balls

4. The president feels that the company must raise the selling price of its basketballs. If Northwood Company wants to maintain the same CM ratio as last year, what selling price per ball must it charge next year to cover the increased labor costs?

  • new price of $28 per ball

5. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable expenses per ball by 40%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double. If the new plant is built, what would be the company's new CM ratio and new break-even point in balls?

  • CM = 1.32
  • 26,250 balls

6.a. If the new plant is built, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, as last year?

  • 31,875 balls

6.b. Assume the new plant is built and that next year the company manufactures and sells 30,000 balls (the same number as sold last year). Prepare a contribution format income statement and compute the degree of operating leverage.

Income Statement

Total revenue $750,000

Variable expenses <u>($270,000) </u>

Contribution margin $480,000

Fixed expenses <u>($420,000 )</u>

Net operating income $60,000

Degree of operating leverage = 60.87%

6.c. If you were a member of top management, would you have been in favor of constructing the new plant?

  • If you cannot avoid paying the salary raise, then the company needs to carry on the new plant project.

Explanation:

sales price per ball = $25

variable expenses: $15 per unit

  • direct labor $9
  • other variable costs $6

CM ratio = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $300,000 = 2.5

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $210,000 / $10 = 21,000 balls

degree of operating leverage = fixed costs / total costs = $210,000 / $660,000 = 31.82%

new CM ratio = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $210,000 = 3.57

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $210,000 / $7 = 30,000 balls

sales level for $90,000 profit = ($210,000 + $90,000) / $7 = 42,857.14 ≈ 42,858 balls

CM ratio (new plant) = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $570,000 = 1.32

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $420,000 / $16 = 26,250 balls

sales level for $90,000 profit = ($420,000 + $90,000) / $16 = 31,875 balls
