Catamount Inc. employs one worker to load packages on an outgoing truck. The work shift is an 8 hour day. Trucks arrive at the l

oading dock at an average of 40 per day. The worker can load a truck in 8 minutes. Truck drivers earn $20 per hour while the employees who load the trucks earn $18/hour. While the trucks are being loaded, the truck drivers must sit and wait with the truck.
a) Should the cost be based on truck drivers in the system or truck drivers in the queue? Explain.
b) What is the hourly cost for this system?
c) Catamount has the enough capital to make one improvement to the system. They can decrease the loading rate from 8 minutes per truck to 6 minutes per truck; OR they can add a second dock with an additional worker (each worker still loads at a rate 8 minutes per truck). If they add an additional dock, trucks will still line up in a single line and go to the first available dock. Perform a cost analysis (ignore capital improvement costs) for both options and explain which option Catamount should take. Provide all relevant cost calculations and explain your answer.

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

a).Work shift per day = 8 hours

Average of arriving trucks = 40

Loading time of workers = 8 min.

Earning of truck drivers = $20

Earning of workers = $18

If the truck drivers are engaged for one station, the cost may be focused on truck drivers in the system at a certain point. But if it's not, then the cost in the line must be dependent on truck drivers, since that's the best approximation of scope.

b). Hourly Cost for this System =Truck Driver Cost × No. of Trucks in an Hour + Worker Hourly Cost

= $20 × (60 ÷ 8) + $18

= $20 × 7.5+ $18

= $168

c). If they add additional dock. Then Their Total Cost in an hours

= $168 ×2

= $336 (because both worker take similar time so simultaneously 2 truck can be loaded)

If the cost doubles, the average no. of trucks service doubled too along with the ability of company to send out delivered trucks. So option 2 is better.

4. when the total expenses are greater than the total revenues, (a) the income summary account has a credit balance. (b) the inc
irina [24]

When the total expenses are greater than the total revenues, then the income summary account has a debit balance.

An income summary account is a temporary account in which the revenue and expenses closing entries are entered to find out the profit or loss.

In the income summary account, all the revenue account closing entries are credited, and all the expenses closing entries are on the debit side.

Thus, if the credit balance is more than the debit balance, it shows the profit and if the debit balance is more than the credit balance, it shows the loss.

Rudiy27
Given: -
 Sarah's income = 25% of the partnership income but not less than $12,000.
 Net income of partnership for the year = $32,000.  
To find: -
 1) Amount that can be deducted by partnership as guaranteed payment.
 2) Income that Sarah is to report on her tax return. 
 Solution: -
 Partnership income = $32,000
 Sarah's share = 25% of 32000 = $8,000
 But Sarah must receive $12,000 (Shortfall $12,000-$8,000=$4,000)
 So, 1) $4,000 can be deducted by partnership as guaranteed payment.
 2) Income that Sarah needs to report on her tax return = $12,000.
