SORIA COMPANY

Clothing Department

Flexible Budget Report

For the Month Ended October 31, 2017

See attachment.

In flexible budgeting, the fixed costs are assumed to be constant within the relevant range.  Only the variable costs are flexed.

Workings:

1. Sales Commission = $1,680/8,400 x 9,000 = $1,800

2. Advertising = $1,176/8400 x 9,000 = $1,260

3. Travel Expense = $4,032/8,400 x 9,000 = $4,320

4. Free Samples = $1,680/8,400 x 9,000 = $1,800

Explanation:

The flexible budget is one that flexes the activity level or volume in order to recognize changes that may arise.  This changes the base volume of the variable costs.

To achieve this, the value under the static budget is divided by the static budget volume and multiplied by the flexed budget volume(s).

In this case, when the budget was flexed from the static sales volume of 8,400 to 9,000 in accordance with the actual volume achieved, the favorable value was increased from $1,188 to $1,800 more than 50% increase.

The implication is that a flexible budget helps to better evaluate performance than its opposite, the static budget.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The preparation of the report form balance sheet as of August 31, 2019 is presented below:

                                      Sentinel Travel Service

                                 Report form balance sheet

                              For the year ended August 31, 2019

Assets

Cash                                             $143,125

Account receivable                     $54,240

Supplies                                       $9,300      

Land                                             $248,000

Total assets                                 $454,665

Liabilities

Account payable                        $19,370

Owner equity

Ending capital                            $435,295

Total liabilities

And owners equity                    $454,665

The net income would be

= Fees earned - Office expense - Miscellaneous expense - Wages expense

= $774,800 - $178,205- $15,495 - $371,905

= $209,195

And, the ending capital would be

= Opening capital - withdrawn amount + net income - additional cpiatl

= $209,000 - $29,400 + $209,195 + $46,500

= $435,295

The one-year forward rate of the British pound is quoted at $1.63, and the spot rate of the British pound is quoted at $1.60. Th
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The forward is discount, which is -1.8%

Explanation:

The forward rate is the rate of interest that is applicable or applied to the financial transaction, which will happen in the near future.

The percent is computed as:

= (Spot rate / Forward rate) - 1

where

Spot rate is $1.60

Forward rate is $1.63

Putting the values above:

= ($1.60 / $1.63) - 1

= $0.9815 - 1

= -1.8 %

which is forward discount.
