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.

Which of the following are necessary conditions for successful price discrimination?
mixer [17]

Answer:

d. at least two different markets with different price elasticities of demand

Explanation:

The theory of microeconomics about price differentiation is based on the concept of elasticity of demand. Price elasticity of demand is a measure of the sensitivity of demand for a good or service to changes in the price of that product. We say that the price elasticity of demand is elastic when a percentage change in the price of this good has major impacts on demand. On the contrary, we say that the price elasticity of demand is inelastic when variations in the price of goods have little or no influence on demand.

For price discrimination to take place, the offeror must be able to sell the same product at different prices to at least two different groups. This will depend on the price elasticity of consumer demand for the good in each of the markets. Thus, if one group is less elastic than the other, the offeror will be able to sell the goods at different prices.

An example: air market. Consumers are often more price sensitive when traveling for tourism than for business. Thus, a higher price may be charged to executives. which has lower price elasticity of demand than tourists.

What is the present value of receiving $100 investment two years from now at a 10 percent annual discount rate
guapka [62]

Answer: $121

Explanation:

The question simply wants us to find the present value of receiving $100 investment two years from now at a 10 percent annual discount rate.

This can be easily solved as follows:

For the first year, the $100 will be worth:

= $100 + ($100 × 10%)

= $100 + ($100 × 0.1)

= $100 + $10

= $110

The worth at the end of the second year will then be:

= $110 + ($110 × 10%)

= $110 + $11

= $121
