Answer:

400; 800

Explanation:

Contribution:

Product X:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= 100 - 70

= 30,

Product Y:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= 80 - 40

= 40,

Product Z:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= 25 - 20

= 5

Machine hours required :

Product X:

= Machine time per unit × Monthly demand

= 3 ×  300

= 900,

Product Y:

= Machine time per unit × Monthly demand

= 2 × 200

= 400,

Product Z:

= Machine time per unit × Monthly demand

= 1 × 500

= 500

Contribution per machine hour:

Product X = Contribution ÷ Machine time per unit

                 = 30 ÷ 3

                 = 10,

Product Y = Contribution ÷ Machine time per unit

                 = 40 ÷ 2

                 = 20,

Product Z = Contribution ÷ Machine time per unit

                = 5 ÷ 1

                = 5

It is highest for Y, so produce maximum amount of Y, then X and then Z

Y needs 400 hrs, we are left with 800 hours, so produce 800 hours of X.

Appliance Possible Inc. (AP) is a manufacturer of toaster ovens. To improve control over operations, the president of AP wants t
joja [24]

Answer:

Appliance Possible Inc. (AP)

a) Flexible Budgets for productions level:

i) Production level of 90,000 units:

Unit variable cost = $13 $(7+4+2)

Total Variable Costs = 90,000 x $13 = $1,170,000

Fixed Costs = $225,000

Total Costs = $1,395,000

ii) Production level of 105,000 units:

Total Variable costs = 105,000 x $13 = $1,365,000

Fixed Costs = $225,000

Total Costs = $1,590,000

iii) Production level of 120,000 units:

Total Variable costs = 120,000 x $13 = $1,560,000

Fixed Costs = $225,000

Total Costs = $1,785,000

b) If AP sells the toaster ovens for $18 each, to make a profit of $309,000 before taxes, units to be sold are:

Break-even Point + Target Profit =  (Fixed Cost + Target Profit)/Contribution per unit

Contribution per unit = $18 - $13 = $5

= ($225,000 + $309,000)/ $5

= $534,000/$5

= 106,800 units

Explanation:

a) A flexible budget tries to change the level of output.  It is a technique used to assess performance under different volumes or activities.  It helps management to make the right decisions, given the fact that different levels of activity may call for different cost and revenue reflections.

b) To make a target profit, the fixed cost is added to the target profit and divided by the unit contribution.  This produces the number of units to be sold in order to achieve the target profit.

c) Contribution is the difference between the selling value and the variable costs.  It is the element that covers fixed costs and generates profit before taxes.

Elan Coil [88]

Based on the actions of Preteresia , we can infer that this scenario best describes <u>Global Convergence</u>.

<h3>What is Global Convergence?</h3>
  • It refers to the current trend of various dimensions of the human life being integrated across nations.
  • Describes the integration of dimensions such as business, culture, the economy, and political policy across nations.

Preteresia in helping Abresia build those facilities, is engaging in global convergence because the industries in both countries are being integrated to allow for more efficient smartphone manufacturing.

In conclusion, this is global convergence.

The CPA Practice Advisor reports that the mean preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns was $273. Use this price as t
larisa [96]

Answer:

The CPA Practice Advisor

The probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean is:

= 56%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Population mean (preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns) = $273

Population standard deviation of preparation fees = $100

Mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns = $257 (which is within $16 of the population mean)

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = standard score

x = observed value

μ = mean of the sample

σ = standard deviation of the sample

Z = ($273 - $257)/$100

= 0.16

Using the z-table

P = 0.5636
