ity for boys and girls to engage in intensive summer sports activities. Parents often bring their all of children for the six week session. Due to diminishing profits in the basketball program, they are considering eliminating the basketball program. Camp owner Mikey Matheny has asked you to review the income statement, determine the impact on profit from dropping the basketball program and make a recommendation.

*There is NO alternative work for the sports directors, if the sport program is eliminated, the sport program director will be eliminated.
**Common Fixed Costs are allocated based upon the number of campers but will remain constant.
Use the information above to answer questions 1-3.
1. What is the impact on profit if the basketball program is dropped?
2. For partial credit on the problem above, you can upload a spreadsheet here. (You will not receive full credit for the problem shown above if you do not upload a spreadsheet.)
3. Assume now that we are able to eliminate $50,000 of the allocated fixed costs if we drop the basketball program. What do you recommend? Write a memo to Mr. Matheny outlining your recommendation and your reasoning. Be sure to consider all of the stakeholders and use an appropriate decision model.

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

A stock had returns of 17.88 percent, −5.16 percent, and 20.39 percent for the past three years. What is the variance of the ret
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Variance of the return = 0.01983

Explanation:

S^{2}= Σ(X-X)^{2}/ N - 1

Mean return = 17.88% + -5.16% + 20.39% = 11.0367%  

Variance = [(17.88% - 11.0367%)2 + (-5.16% - 11.0367%)2 + (20.39% - 11.0367%)2] /(3 - 1)

Variance = [0.004683 + 0.026233 + 0.008748]/2

Variance = 0.01983

Suppose you are interested in studying whether scent affects spatial reasoning abilities. You decide to test spatial reasoning u
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer: 1. c. There are no differences in the mean completion times among the scents compared

2. Scent; Completion Time

Explanation:

The Null Hypothesis of a research is that hypothesis which you aim to disprove because it holds that no significant relationship between the variables being researched exists.

In this scenario you are studying whether scent affects spatial reasoning abilities.

The Null Hypothesis will.be that which states that there is no relationship between scent and spartial reasoning therefore there will be no differences in the mean completion times among the scents compared.

The factor of interest is the variable that is being changed to examine a difference making it the SCENT in this scenario.

The dependent variable changes due to the Factor of Interest so it is the COMPLETION TIME.

ABC, a U.S. company sends by fax an offer to sell to XYZ, a French company, 1,000,000 widgets for $1.00 a widget. XYZ sends back
galben [10]

Answer:

The correct option is B. False.

Further explanation is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

Offer From ABC Company to XYZ Company:

1,000,000 widgets to sell.

Selling Price of 1 widget = $1.00

Total Price = $1,000,000

Counter Offer from XYZ company to ABC Company.

Selling Price = $0.75

Total Price = 0.75 x 1,000,000 = $750,000

But in the end, ABC company sold its widgets to GHK company.

The correct option to this question is false.

This case is false because here ABC sends an original offer of $1 but XYZ sent a counter offer of $0.75. This counter offer was then duly rejected by ABC.

XYZ cannot again confirm and accept the original offer of ABC because they have already rejected your claim and thus XYZ have to wait until ABC make them another offer.

To arrive at operating cash flows, you should start with _______, _______ non-cash items and then adding or subtracting changes
Aleks04 [339]

To arrive at operating cash flows, you should start with net income, adding non-cash items and then add or subtract changes in working capital.

A measure of the amount of money made by a company's regular business operations is called operating cash flow (OCF). Operating cash flow shows if a business can produce enough positive cash flow to support and expand its operations; if not, it may need outside finance for capital growth.

An essential metric for assessing the financial performance of a company's main business operations is operating cash flow.

A cash flow statement's opening part, which also contains cash from investing and financing activities, shows operating cash flow.

The indirect method and the direct approach are both ways to show operating cash flow on a cash flow statement.
