Answer:

The price of tee-time should be reduced by 6.67%.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand for tee times is –1.5.  

The manager wants to increase the number of tee times sold by 10%.  

The price elasticity of demand shows the change in quantity demanded due to a change in the price level. It is the ratio of the percentage change in quantity demanded and percentage change in price.  

Price elasticity = \frac{\% \Delta Q}{\% \Delta P}

- 1.5 = \frac{10 \%}{\% \Delta P}

\% \Delta P = \frac{10}{- 1.5}

\% \Delta P = - 6.67 \%

Answer:

1. <u>Impact on profits</u>:

Contribution Margin =                     $63,000

Less: Traceable Rent = $10,000

Less: Salary of Director = $10,000

Total avoidable fixed expenses = <u>$20,000</u>

Decrease in Profits =                      <u>$43,000</u>

Hence, the profits will reduce by $43,000 if the basketball program is eliminated.

3. If the allocated fixed costs can be reduced by $50,000. The program should be dropped since there will be an increase in profits by $7,000 (50,000 - 43,000). The avoidable costs and revenues should be taken into account for the purpose of this decision. If the avoidable costs are more than the revenues, the line should be dropped else not.

Hence, since after considering the reduction in allocated fixed costs, the avoidable costs are greater than revenues, the program should be dropped

balu736 [363]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": the employees perceive the outcome as negative.

Explanation:

Procedural fairness requires high-rank executives to make decisions without showing any preference.

Gitano Products operates a job-order costing system and applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct materials used in p
Yanka [14]

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-  

1. Predetermined Overhead Rate for a Year

= Estimated Manufacturing Overhead ÷ Estimated Allocation Base Of Direct Material × 100

= $133,500 ÷ $89,000 × 100

= 150%

2. We have a need the value of overhead applied and overhead incurred, to calculate the value of over applied and under applied overhead.

Overhead Applied = (Purchase Of Direct Material + Opening Value of Direct Material - Closing Value of Direct Material) × Predetermined Overhead Rate

= ($139,000 + $27,000 - $13,000) × 150 ÷ 100

= $153,000 × 150 ÷ 100

= $229,500

Overhead Incurred

= Indirect Labor + Property Taxes + Depreciation of Equipment + Maintenance + Insurance + Rent&Building  

= 127,800 + 8,880 + 18,000 + 12,000 + 11,300 + 40,000

= $217,980

Over Applied Overhead = Overhead Applied - Overhead Incurred

= $229,500 - $217,980

= $11,520

Overhead applied is more than overhead incurred, so this situation is called over applied overhead.

3. Cost of Goods Manufactured for the Year

Particular  Amount  ($)

Opening stock of raw material 27,000

Add-purchases of raw material 139,000

Less-closing stock of raw material 13,000

Add-Direct labor 85,000

Add-Manufacturing overhead applied to WIP 229,500

Add-Opening Work in Progress 46,000

Less-closing Work in Progress 36,000

Goods manufacturing cost 477,500

4. Unadjusted Cost of Goods Sold

Particular  Amount ($)

Goods manufacturing cost 477,500

Add-finished goods opening stock 71,000

Less-finished goods closing stock 56,000

Cost of goods sold 492,500
