Answer:

The correct answer is Community swimming pools.

Explanation:

Taking into account the duties of public entities that are not susceptible of being assigned to individuals, within the three requests only that of community pools can be privatized due to the low relationship they have with the responsibilities of a public entity of this type. The other two requests are of a different nature, and, despite having involvement with other forces or interests, the local government must ensure proper management of public resources that is evident in the citizens.

Archy [21]

Answer:

The benchmarking function of budgeting system involves the evaluation of performance of managers.

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

The integration of inputs from different business inputs and function is done at the planning stage of budgeting. It does not involve benchmarking.

Budgeting requires requires close cooperation between accountants and operational personnel. This is referred to as active participation in  budgeting. It helps to overcome behavioural challenges of budgeting.

Budget figures are used to evaluate the performance of managers. This is a benchmarking function of budgeting because it involves the comparison of performance of managers with established criteria so as to determine their level of success.                                          

The budget outlines a specific course of action for the coming year. This indicates that a budget is a financial plan that outlines future courses of action. This does not require benchmarking.

1. What is the revised net operating income if unit sales increase by 16%? 2. What is the revised net operating income if the se
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

1) NOI = $90,240

2) NOI = 29,250

3) NOI = 133,260

4) NOI = 110,190

Explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete.</em>

<em />

<em>Sales (38,000 units)      $342,000     ($9.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Variable expenses        $228,000     ($6.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Contribution margin        $114,000     ($3.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Fixed expenses                $42,000 </em>

<em>Net operating income      $72,000</em>

1. What is the revised net operating income if unit sales increase by 16%

If unit sales increase, we can calculate this with a 16% increase in the contribution margin.

NOI=CM*(1+0.16)-FE=114,000*1.16-42,000=132,240-42,000\\\\NOI=90,240

2. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price decreases by $1.50 per unit and the number of units sold increases by 25%?

A reduction of $1.50 in price means a reduction of the same amount in the contribution margin per unit (CMu), as the variable expenses stay the same .

Also, the contribution margin increases by 25%, for the increase in units sold (q).

NOI=CM_u*q-FE=(3.00-1.50)*(38,000*1.25)-42,000\\\\NOI=1.5*47,500-42,000=71,250-42,000\\\\NOI=29,250

3. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price increases by $1.50 per unit, fixed expenses increase by $6,000, and the number of units sold decreases by 6%?

The selliing price will be added to the contribution margin per unit.

The units sold are increased 6%.

NOI=CMu*q-FE=(3.00+1.50)*38,000*1.06-(42,000+6,000)\\\\NOI=4.5*40,280-48,000=181,260-48,000\\\\NOI=133,260

4. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price per unit increases by 20%, variable expenses increase by 30 cents per unit, and the number of units sold decreases by 11%?

The contribution margin per unit, with a increase in price and an increase in variable cost, becomes:

CM_u=P-VE_u=9.00*(1.20)-(6.00+0.30)=10.80-6.30=4.50

The units sold is now:

q'=(1-0.11)q=0.89q=0.89*38,000=33,820

Then, the net operating income becomes:

NOI=CM_u*q-FE=4.5*33,820-42,000=152,190-42,000\\\\NOI=110,190
