Consumption Ratios; Activity Rates Saludable Company produces two types of get-well cards: scented and regular. Drivers for the

four activities are as follows:
Scented Cards Regular Cards
Inspection hours 1,080 720
Setup hours 420 180
Machine hours 960 2,880
Number of moves 2,880 720
The following activity data has been collected:
Inspecting products $45,000
Setting up equipment 28,500
Machining 30,720
Moving materials 16,200
Required:
1. Calculate the consumption ratios for the four drivers. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Scented Cards Regular Cards
Inspection hours
Setup hours
Machine hours
Number of moves
2. Which of the following statements indicate there is product diversity?
Explain the significance of product diversity for decision making if the company chooses to use machine hours to assign all overhead.
If machine hours are used as the only driver, cards would receive 21% of the overhead, and cards would receive 79% of the overhead. Yet, the cards consume well over 53% of the non-machine related overhead. Thus, the Scented cards are , and the Regular cards are . This inaccuracy can adversely affect many decisions, including pricing, keep or drop, and cost-volume-profit.
3. Calculate the activity rates that would be used to assign costs to each product. Round your answers to the nearest cent.
Rates:
Inspecting products $ per inspection hour
Setting up equipment $ per setup hour
Machining $ per machine hour
Moving materials $ per move
4. Suppose that the activity rate for inspecting products is $20 per inspection hour. How many hours of inspection are expected for the coming year?

Answer:

Saludable Company

Consumption Ratios=  Amount of Activity per driver /Total Driver Quantity

                                Scented Cards         Regular Cards       Total  

                                       A                            B                          C  

Inspection hours          1,080                     720                      1800

Setup hours                 420                       180                         600

Machine hours           960                          2,880                   3840

Number of moves     2,880                       720                       3600

Consumption Ratios  

                                Scented Cards         Regular Cards  

                                       A/ C                           B /C                        

Inspection hours          1,080/1800                 720/1800

                                         0.6                               0.4                      

Setup hours                 420/600                    180/600  

                                          0.7                          0.3                      

Machine hours           960/3840                    2,880/3840    

                                        0.25                          0.75              

Number of moves     2,880/3600                 720/3600

                                          0.8                            0.2                    

2. Diverse products consume activities in different amounts. When they are different product line with diversification the product cost may vary than the actual costs IF ABC is not used. ABC helps removal of un necessary amounts allocated and assigns actual costs incurred.

The Scented cards are more costly than the Regular card. If machine hours are used as the only driver,Scented cards cards would receive 21% of the overhead, and Regular cards would receive 79% of the overhead. This shows that Scented cards are under costed and Regualr Cards are over costed if ABC is not used.

                                             

3. Activity Rate= Activity Cost/ Cost Driver

Activity                                              

Inspecting products /Inspection hours= $45,000/1800=  25 $ per inspection hour    

Setting up equipment/Setup hours= 28,500/600= $ 47.5 per setup hour          

Machining/Machine hours = 30,720/3840  =  $8  per machine hour                          

Moving materials /Number of moves=16,200/3600 =  $ 4.5 per move  

4.      Activity Rate= Activity Cost/ Cost Driver

            $ 20= $ 45000/ Hours

           Hours = $ 45000/20 =  2250 inspection hours are expected  for the coming year.

Consider a $1200 investment for a new plant that is expected to have a Residual Value of $200 in five years. What is the Salvage
deff fn [24]

Answer:

$173

Explanation:

The computation of the salvage value at the end of year 5 is given below:

Cost of the asset $1,200

Multiply with the depreciation rate 5.76%

Book value at the 5 year end = $69

Resale value $200

gain on sales $131

Multiply with the Capital gain 21%

tax on gain $27

After tax gain on salvage value $173 ($200 - $27)

Nastasia [14]

The case of Dole bananas has been referred to in the press and business publications as an example of right-minded import protection in the United States.

<h3>What was the case of Dole bananas?</h3>

Dole Foods used a litigation strategy in US courts to discredit Nicaraguan plantation workers, demonstrating how corporations can use the legal system to avoid providing compensation for human rights violations.

In 2004, a group of Nicaraguan banana plantation workers sued Dole and Dow Chemical Companies for causing them to become sterile as a result of their exposure to a US-banned pesticide (DBCP), which the companies told them to use on Nicaraguan plantations in the 1970s.

Therefore, the Dole bananas case has been referred to in the press and business publications as an example of right-minded import protection in the United States.

Pete Morton is planning to go to graduate school in a program of study that will take three years. Pete wants to have $8,000 ava
pochemuha

Answer: $22,200.72

Explanation:

Given the following :

Amount Pete Morton wants to be able to withdraw each period = $8000

Number of periods = 3

Interest rate on deposit = 4%

The amount Pete must deposit at the beginning of his study to be eligible is the product of the payment per period and the present value of annuity factor.

From the present value of annuity factor table ; the factor obtained for a 3 years period at 4 % Interest rate is 2.77509

Hence,

$8000 × 2.77509 = $22,200.72
