Answer: marketing managers making pricing decisions.
Explanation:
Management's product and service choices and decisions can influence the cost behavior.

Answer:
The NPV from opening the branch office is negative ( -$106668.08). Thus the branch office should not be opened.
Explanation:
The decision to open the branch office will be taken based on the NPV provided by opening of the branch office. If the NPV of a project is positive based on the required rate of return used as a discount rate fro cash flows, the investment is worth undertaking.
The net present value (NPV) for a project can be calculated as,
NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)² + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial Outlay
Where,
- r is the appropriate discount rate
- Initial Outlay is the Initial cost of the project
- CF represents cash flows from the project
As the required return is 16%, we will take this as the appropriate discount rate.
NPV = 45000 / (1+0.16) + 120000 / (1+0.16)² + 150000 / (1+0.16)³ +
150000 / (1+0.16)^4 + 150000 / (1+0.16)^5 - 485000
NPV = - $106668.08
As the NPV from project is negative at a required return of 16%, the project should not be under taken and the branch office should not be open.
Answer:
a.
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the statement that is most likely true is that the product cost of product B will be higher under ABC than under traditional costing. This is because Activity-based costing (ABC) bases their overhead costs on the actual consumption by each while traditional costs overhead is applied based on the amount of machine hours consumed. Therefore since product B is characterized as having lots of consumption then it's product cost will be higher under ABC costing.
Answer:
Gross pay:
- consultant $4,000
- computer programmer $3,300
- administrator $2,800
Net pay:
- consultant $2,767.98
- computer programmer $2,295.48
- administrator $1,993.98
Explanation:
regular earnings overtime withholding
allowances
Consultant $4,000 per week N/A 2
Computer programmer $60 per hour 1.5 1
Administrator $50 per hour 2 2
computer programmer worked 50 hours = ($60 x 40) + ($60 x 10 x 1.5) = $3,300
administrator worked 48 hours = ($50 x 40) + ($50 x 8 x 2) = $2,800
Social security taxes:
-
Consultant = 6% x $4,000 = $240
- Computer programmer = 6% x $3,300 = $198
- Administrator = 6% x $2,800 = $168
Medicare taxes:
- Consultant = 1.5% x $4,000 = $60
- Computer programmer = 1.5% x $3,300 = $49.50
- Administrator = 1.5% x $2,800 = $42
Federal income taxes:
- Consultant: amount subject to withholding = $4,000 - (2 x $75) = $3,850. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,850 - $1,796) = $932.02
- Computer programmer = amount subject to withholding = $3,300 - (1 x $75) = $3,225. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,225 - $1,796) = $757.02
- Administrator = amount subject to withholding = $2,800 - (2 x $75) = $2,650. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($2,650 - $1,796) = $596.02
Gross pay:
- consultant $4,000
- computer programmer $3,300
- administrator $2,800
Net pay:
- consultant $4,000 - ($240 + $60 + $932.02) = $2,767.98
- computer programmer $3,300 - ($198 + $49.50 + $757.02) = $2,295.48
- administrator $2,800 - ($168 + $42 + $596.02) = $1,993.98
