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.

Sullivan contended that it was morally right for GM to function in South Africa so long as two circumstances were satisfied. First, the company should not follow the apartheid laws in its own South African operations. Second, the firm should do all within its power to endorse the elimination of apartheid laws.

Hrustic Company issued $750,000 of 12% convertible bonds at face value on an interest payment date several years ago. The face v
mina [271]

Answer: The bondholders decided to convert the bonds into common stock because they believed that getting $2250 today is worth more than $120 interest every year and a $1000 principal payment at the end of the bonds life.

Explanation:

1) In order to find out the number of bonds issued we need to divide 750,000 (Total ) by 1000(Face value of each bond).Total number of bonds issues therefore are 750.

2) A 12 percent convertible bond means that the bond pays a coupon of 120 ( 0.12 * 1000) every year.

3) Each bond is convertible into 25 shares , which means if one bond is converted into common stock, the bond holder can earn $1750. We calculate this number by multiplying the number of shares which is 25 into the current market price of the shares which is 70.

4) Also the company is offering an extra  $500 per bond for converting it which means (500/25) an extra $20 per share.

5) So in total the bondholder by converting a bond and selling the shares he gets by converting it can earn $2250 per bond which they bought for a $1000 and gives them 120$ of interest every year.

6) SO to conclude the bondholders decided to convert the bonds into common stock because they believed that getting $2250 today is worth more than $120 interest every year and a $1000 principal payment at the end of the bonds life.
