Answer:

1. The need to specify "not necessarily" delay the project implies that the presence of positive slack or float enables a project to be completed without regard to the noncritical path activity.

2. A project necessarily possesses some form of deadline because deadlines help a project team to collaborate toward achieving the shared goal.  Another reason for a deadline is to keep complex projects on track. Deadlines also help to set project delivery expectations. Deadlines eliminate confusion in the execution of projects.  A project without a deadline looks meaningless and unimportant.

3. Task C's early finish time = 7 days.

4. The slack in task E = 2 days.

Explanation:

a) Task C's immediate predecessors = Tasks A and B

Task A's early finish time = 3 days

Task B's early finish time = 5 days

Task C's duration = 2 days

Therefore, task C's early finish time = 5 + 2 = 7 days

b) Task E's early start time = 3 days

Task E's early finish time = 5 days

Task E's late start time = 10 days

Task E's late finish time = 12 days

Slack in task E = 5 - 3 = 2 days

c) Task E can be finished in 3 days (e.g. from day 10 to day 12), but it was allocated an early completion time of 5 days.  This implies that there is a slack of 2 days.

Sales                                          295704                       444

Less Variable Costs                  (138084)                      (311)

Contribution                               157620                        133

Part d

                                    Billing Company

     CVP Income for as at September 2017 - Break Even Point

                                                      Total                      Per Unit

                                                         $                               $

Sales                                           199800                       444

Less Variable Costs                  (139950)                      (311)

Contribution                                59850                        133

Net Income                                       0                              0

Explanation:

Part a

Contribution Margin = Contribution/Sales × 100

Therefore contribution margin is  ($444-$311)/$444 * 100 = 29.95% (2 d.p)

Part b

Sales - Variable Cost = Contribution

Net Income  =   Contribution - Total Fixed Costs                            

Part c

Break Even Point is when Billings neither makers a profit or loss.

Break Even Point ( Units) = Total Fixed Cost/Contribution per unit

Therefore Break Even Point (Units) = $59850/$133 = 450 units

Part d

The total and unit CVP should neither reflect a profit or loss at a capacity of 450 units as this is the break even point. In this case profit = nill

erastova [34]

Answer:

C. Ron’s basis in his stock is $27,000

Explanation:

Income recognized on services rendered $21,000

Add basis of $6,000

Ron stock basis $27,000

The property contributed by Ron is not considered insignificant compared to the value of the services he has rendered, which is why the entire contribution is counted as being for property.

Hence, the control requirement is satisfied and a valid § 351 transaction results. Ron’s stock basis is $27,000 [$6,000 (basis of cattle transferred) + $21,000 (income recognized on services rendered)]
