The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses i

n its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 62 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below: Fixed Cost per Month Cost per Course Cost per Student Instructor wages $ 2,960 Classroom supplies $ 270 Utilities $ 1,220 $ 75 Campus rent $ 4,800 Insurance $ 2,300 Administrative expenses $ 3,900 $ 44 $ 7 For example, administrative expenses should be $3,900 per month plus $44 per course plus $7 per student. The company’s sales should average $890 per student. The company planned to run four courses with a total of 62 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 56 students. The actual operating results for September appear below: Actual Revenue $ 52,280 Instructor wages $ 11,120 Classroom supplies $ 16,590 Utilities $ 1,930 Campus rent $ 4,800 Insurance $ 2,440 Administrative expenses $ 3,936 Required: 1. Prepare the company’s planning budget for September. 2. Prepare the company’s flexible budget for September. 3. Calculate the revenue and spending variances for September.

Upon what specific assumptions is this production possibilities curve based?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

C. Full employment, fixed supplies of resources, fixed technology, and two goods

Explanation:

Production Possibility curve: It is a curve that shows all possible combinations to the amounts of the two goods that can be produced with the available resources and technology.

In simple words, all resources which are used to produce the possible combinations are called full employment. Thus, these specific assumptions plays vital role in production possibilities curve.

So, A, B, and the D are incorrect options.

Explain why to maximize profits a firm needs to produce an output at a level where marginal revenue
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Rest of question:

... equals marginal cost.

Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.

As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.

This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.

On August 1, our company purchases $1,000 worth of merchandise inventory on credit with the terms 2/10, n/30. What is the amount
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a) $1,000

Explanation:

Early Settlement Discount

This form of quotation is common with suppliers offering their customers deferred payment arrangement in a sale contract. Usually, under this arrangement customers are allowed to purchase goods on credit and settle their acccount at a specified  later date.

However, to encourage customers to pay up their outstanding earlier than expected, suppliers do offer early settlement discount as incentives to induce prompt payment.

A quotation of 2/10, n/30

This implies that the customer is a given a 30-day period from the date of purchase within which he is expected to settle his account. However, if he does so within the next 10 days of purchase he will be given a 2% discount.

<em>Applying this to the question, the purchase date is August 1, the the latest date for which account is settle to qualify for early settlement discount will be 11 days i.e (1+10) .</em>

Since the payment will be made on August 12, no cash discount will received. Therefore, a payment of gross amount of $1,000 would be credited to the cash account.
