Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The relevant range of activity is 8,000 units to 11,000 units.

When it produces and sells 10,000 units:

Direct materials $ 6.40

Direct labor $ 3.20

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.50

Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 14.40

Fixed selling expense $ 2.80

Fixed administrative expense $ 2.00

Sales commissions $ 0.80

Variable administrative expense $ 0.70

A) product costs= Direct material + direct labor + manufacturing overhead

Product cost= (6.40*10000) + (3.20*10000) + (1.5*10000) + (14.40*10000)= $255000

B) Q= 9

Variable cost= direct material + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead + variable sales comission + variable administrative expense

Variable cost= 6.40 + 3.20 + 1.5 + 0.80 + 0.70= $12.60

C) Total variable cost= 12.60*9000=$113400

D) Contribution margin= Price - unitary variable cost

CM= 19.20 - 12.60= $6.6

E) 10,001 units are still is the relevant range. Therefore the incremental costs are the variable cost.

If it sells 1 unit more, the manufacturing cost will increase in the proportion of direct material, direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead.

6.40+3.2+1.5= $11.1

Last year Ann Arbor Corp had $250,000 of assets (which equals total invested capital), $305,000 of sales, $20,000 of net income,

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

8.32%

Explanation:

The computation of cost reduction improve the ROE is shown below:-

For computing the increase in ROE first we need to follow some steps which is here below:-

Debt = capital × Debt

= $250,000 × 37.5%

= $93,750

Equity = Assets - Debt

= $250,000 - $93,750

= $156,250

New ROE = New Net income ÷ Equity

= $33,000 ÷ $156,250

= 21.12%

Old ROE = Old Net income ÷ Equity

= $20,000 ÷ $156,250

= 12.8%

Increase in ROE = New ROE- Old ROE

= 21.12% - 12.8%

= 8.32%

In an economy, the government wants to increase aggregate demand by $50 billion at each price level to increase real GDP and red

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

(B) $20 billion

Explanation:

Given a certain level of MPC, an increase in government spending (G) by a certain amount translates to an increase in aggregate demand (AD) through the relationship below.

$ΔAD = \frac{ΔG}{1 - MPC}$

where Δ means <em>change.</em>

<em />

Therefore, given ΔAD of $50 billion, and MPC of 0.6,

$ΔAD = \frac{ΔG}{1 - MPC}$

= $50 = \frac{ΔG}{1 - 0.6}$

= $50 = \frac{ΔG}{0.4}$

= ΔG = 50 * 0.4 = 20

Therefore, increase in government purchases = $20 billion.

At the beginning of the period, the Cutting Department budgeted direct labor of $52,350 and supervisor salaries of $42,150 for 3

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

$77,000

Explanation:

Direct Labor = $52,350 (Its varies with the number of Production hours). Hence, $52,350 for 3,490 hours

For 3,800 hours, (52,350/3,490) * 3,800 = $57,000

Supervisor Salaries = $20,000 (Since the Supervisor Salary is not an incremental cost, it is a fixed one). So, the Supervisor Salaries remain $20,000

Net budget (flexible) = $57,000 + $20,000

Net budget (flexible) = $77,000
