Answer:

The total hours the manager worked

= 7.14 hours

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Time spent by a manager in meetings per day = 5 hours

Percentage of time spent in meetings = 70%

Total hours the manager worked per day = 5/70% = 7.14 hours

b) The total hours that the manager worked per day = 7.14 hours or 7 hours 9 minutes (approximately).  This is obtained by dividing the hours spent in meetings by the equivalent proportion that meetings consumed per day.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Number of quarts for 960 oil changes= 6,144 quarts

No of hours for 960 oil changes = 432 hours

Number of quarts for 950 oil changes=6,080 quarts

No of hours  for 950 oil changes= 427.5 hours

Explanation:

Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company

1.Number of quarts for 1 oil change = 6.4 quarts of oil

Number of quarts for 960 oil changes= 6.4 quarts of oil *960= 6,144 quarts

2. Number of minutes for 1 oil change = 27 minutes

Number of minutes for 960 oil changes = 27 minutes*960= 25920 minutes

No of hours for 960 oil changes = 25920/60= 432 hours

3.Number of quarts for 1 oil change = 6.4 quarts of oil

Number of quarts for 950 oil changes= 6.4 quarts of oil *950= 6,080 quarts

Number of minutes for 1 oil change = 27 minutes

Number of minutes for 950 oil changes = 27 minutes*950= 25650 minutes

No of hours  for 950 oil changes= 25650/60= 427.5 hours

Erin Shelton, Inc., wants to earn a target profit of $960,000 this year. The company’s fixed costs are expected to be $1,320,000
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1. Break-even sales = $2,200,000

2. Net Income = $0

3. Sales = $3,800,000

4. See explanation section

5. Margin of safety = $1,600,000

Margin of safety (%) = 42.11%

Explanation:

Requirement 1.

We know,

Break-even sales = Fixed expense ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Given,

Expected Fixed expense = $1,320,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue

As we do not have contribution margin and Sales Revenue, we have to use variable costs that is expected to be 40% of sales. Therefore,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales (%) - variable costs (%) = 100% - 40% = 60%

Therefore, Break-even sales = $1,320,000 ÷ 60%

Break-even sales = $1,320,000 ÷ 60%

Therefore, Break-even sales = $2,200,000

Requirement 2.

                         Erin Shelton, Inc.

Contribution Margin Income Statement format

For the year ended, December 31, Current year

Sales Revenue                                          $2,200,000 (<em>Requirement 1</em>)

<u>Less: Variable expense (40% of sales)         880,000</u>

Contribution Margin                                  $1,320,000

<u>Less: Fixed Expense                                   1,320,000</u>

Net operating Income                                        0

In break-even sales, total fixed expense = total contribution margin, therefore, no income or loss.

Requirement 3.

We know,

This year, To attain profit, sales = (Fixed expense + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Given,

Expected Fixed expense = $1,320,000

Target Profit = $960,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue

As we do not have contribution margin and Sales Revenue, we have to use variable costs that is expected to be 40% of sales. Therefore,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales (%) - variable costs (%) = 100% - 40% = 60%

Therefore, To attain profit, sales = ($1,320,000 + $960,000) ÷ 60%

To attain profit, sales = $2,280,000 ÷ 60%

Therefore, To attain profit, sales = $3,800,000

Requirement 4.

Using To attain profit, sales = $3,800,000 (From Requirement 3) to find the net operating income

                          Erin Shelton, Inc.

Contribution Margin Income Statement format

For the year ended, December 31, Current year

Sales Revenue                                          $3,800,000 (<em>Requirement 3</em>)

<u>Less: Variable expense (40% of sales)        1520,000</u>

Contribution Margin                                  $2,280,000

<u>Less: Fixed Expense                                   1,320,000</u>

Net operating Income                                $960,000

Requirement 5.

We know,

Margin of safety = (Current sales - Break-even sales)

<em>From Requirement 1, we get, Break-even sales = $2,200,000</em>

<em>From Requirement 3, we get, Current sales = $3,800,000</em>

Margin of safety = $3,800,000 - $2,200,000

Therefore, Margin of safety = $1,600,000

Margin of safety as percentage = [(Current sales - Break-even sales) ÷ Current sales] × 100

Margin of safety = ($1,600,000 ÷ $3,800,000) × 100

or, Margin of safety = 0.42105 × 100

Margin of safety = 42.11%

On the basis of this information, what were total maintenance costs when the company experienced 23,000 machine hours of activit
spayn [35]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the total cost for each activity level:</u>

High activity level= 27,000*27.3= $737,100

Low activity level= 23,000*34.3= $788,900

<u>Now, using the high-low method, we can determine the variable and fixed costs:</u>

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (788,900 - 737,100) / (27,000 - 23,000)

Variable cost per unit= $12.95 per machine-hour

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 788,900 - (12.95*27,000)

Fixed costs= $439,250

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 737,100 - (12.95*23,000)

Fixed costs= $439,250

<u>Finally, for 25,000 hours:</u>

Total cost= 439,250 + 12.95*2,5000

Total cost= $763,000
