Answer:

The total cost of operating a truck would be $18000 as calculated below.

Explanation:

The total costs of operating the truck is a combination of fixed costs of $5500 per year and variable of $0.50 per mile ,hence the total cost function is given as:

TC=5500+0.50X

Where represents the number of miles driven per year.

Since X=25000 miles

TC=$5500+($0.50*25000)

TC=$5500+$12500

TC=$18000

The understanding here is that wages paid to the two employees working  with the truck is already embedded in the fixed costs of $5500 per year, otherwise that would been given as a distinct cost entirely.

Anettt [7]

Answer:

Flexible budgets: These type of budgets are assessments, which may vary with the capacity or production for a given period.

Say for model there might be two type of budgets which bend with two or three situations of fabrication volume or production. The situations might be:

1. Budget when fabrication is at highest volume, the revenue and expenditures at the utmost output.

2. Budget when there is prime capacity, the revenue and expenditures valued at the optimal application of resources to produce optimal productivity or satisfactory output.

3. Budget when there is low capacity or demand is nearly nil, the revenues and expenditures that will be valued.

This flexible budget guides administration to appropriately plan their resources and flex with the capacity whenever it’s required subject the change in situations.

Variance Analysis: The investigation of deviance of several cost restriction with the usual set in at the start of the year results in Variance Analysis. There are several types of modifications which needs analysis and these will be diverse with the business type. The below are few common instances of modifications.

Sales capacity variances, sales combination variances, Material value variances, labor proportion variances, machine dependent price variances, overheads expenditure variances, Material procedure, Material Amount, Material replacement, labor and engine time variances etc.

These will help the administration to comprehend practically how precise the values set in for a given period of time.

Dominik [7]

Answer:

Income after tax = $1666

Explanation:

LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) is a method of inventory valuation where the goods that are received last are used first. In other words, the latest stock is used first. This is common for bulky inventory, stacked one on top of another.

In order to obtain the after-tax income, both the gross profit and income before tax are required. To obtain gross profit, we require the cost of goods sold information. The inventory information is as follows:

Feb 1 : Purchases : 102 units x $42 = $4284

Mar 14 : Purchases : 175 units x $44 = $7700

May 1 : Purchases : 124 units x $46 = $5704

288 units were sold

The COGS would be:

124 x $46 = $5704

164 x $44 = $7216

Thus COGS : $5704 + $7216 = $12920

Gross profit : Sales - COGS

Sales : $59 x 288 = $16992

Gross Profit = $16992 - $12920 = $4072

Income before tax : Gross Profit - Expenses

Operating expenses : $1692

Income before tax = $4072 - $1692 = $2380

Income after tax : Income before tax - (tax rate x income before tax)

Tax rate : 30%

Income after tax = $2380 - ($2380 x 30%) = $1666

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Answer:

1. MCE = 21.42%

2. Delivery Cycle Time 22 days

Explanation:

The Manufacturing Cycle Time is given by the formula:

Manufacturing cycle time = Inspection Time + Process Time + Move Time + Queue time

Here we have

Inspection time =1.5 days

Processing time =3.0 days

Move time =2.5 days

Queue time= 7.0 days

Wait time= 8.0 days

Manufacturing Cycle  Time = 1.5+3.0+2.5+ 7.0=  14.0 days

MCE= Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency Time= Process Time/ Processing Time + Inspection Time + Move Time + Queue time

MCE = 3/ 14=0.2142= 21.42%  

It means that MCE  consists of 21.42 %actual processing and 79 % consists of non value added activities.

2.  Delivery Cycle Time= Manufacturing Cycle  Time + Wait time

Delivery Cycle Time= 14.0 days + 8.0 days= 22.0 days

The difference between wait time and queue time is that wait time is the time when the customer places an order until it is delivered.And queue time from the start of the production of the order.

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

National Chemical Company

New Variant of a Chemical Compound:

The effect on total profit if National produces the new compound variant is that total profit increases by $33,200

Explanation:

a) Data:

Selling price of old chemical = $55

Selling price of fined chemical = $78

Initial demand for the new compound = 8,300 gallons

Refining costs for the new compound = $157,700

b) Calculations:

Profit from new fined chemical = $23 ($78 - 55)

Differential Sales revenue =  $190,900 ($23 x 8,300)

Differential processing costs $157,700

Effect on total profit =              $33,200

c) Refining a chemical always add some value to the chemical.  The additional value added is the differential sales revenue that National generates minus the additional processing costs involved to get the chemical refined.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. accounting cycle.

Explanation:

The accounting cycle, also known as the accounting process or registration flow, is the period in which the Company chronologically and reliably records each transaction in its respective Daily Book in order to analyze, prepare and prepare financial information.

The accounting process is made up of all the steps that must be followed since an accounting event occurs until it is introduced into the system and, therefore, is reflected in the financial statements.

The stages of the accounting cycle begin with the identification of the accounting fact, such as with a sale of merchandise. The next step is to generate an accounting document that supports this transaction and allows it to be reflected in quantified accounting in monetary units and with a specific date.

Once this document is generated (delivery note or invoice) the operation is recorded in the Daily Book. At the end of the accounting cycle, which is usually from January to December, the transactions are transferred to the general ledger. After some regularizations (amortizations, reclassifications between short term and long term, calculation of the result, etc.) the accounting is closed to generate the final financial statements.
