Answer:

A. $0.1 per can

B. $3,315

C. 0.098 per packaged can

Explanation:

a) Calculation to Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations.

Using this formula

Total activity cost per packaged = Total activity cost under present operations ÷ total cans packaged

Let plug in the formula

Total activity cost per packaged= $650,000 ÷ 6,500,000

Total activity cost per packaged= $0.1 per can

Therefore the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations is $0.1 per can

b) Calculation to Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.

First step is to calculate the Packaging cost per bottle =

Using this formula

Packaging cost per bottle = Current packaging cost ÷ total cans packaged

Let plug in the formula

Packaging cost per bottle = 110,500 ÷ 6,500,000

Packaging cost per bottle = $0.017 per bottle

Second step is to calculate the Total packaging cost

Using this formula

Total packaging cost = Total bottle × cost per bottle

Let plug in the formula

Total packaging cost= 6,695,000 × $0.017

Total packaging cost= $113,815

Now let determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.

Using this formula

Amount of increased packaging activity costs = total packaging cost - current packaging cost

Let plug in the formula

Amount of increased packaging activity costs= $113,815 - 110,500

Amount of increased packaging activity costs= $3,315

Therefore the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements is $3,315

c) Calculation to Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements

First step is to calculate Total activity cost using this formula

Total activity cost = Mixing cost + filling cost + packaging cost

Let plug in the formula

Total activity cost == $286,000 + $253,500 + $113,815

Total activity cost == $653,315

Now let determine the Expected total activity cost per packaged can

Using this formula

Expected total activity cost per packaged can = Total activity cost ÷ no. of bottles

Let plug in the formula

Expected total activity cost per packaged can= $653,315 ÷ 6,695,000

Expected total activity cost per packaged can=0.098 per packaged can

Therefore the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements is 0.098 per packaged can

The options to the question are:

a. describe the bottom line of the policy changes at the beginning of the memo.

b. include an apology at the end of the memo stating the inconveniences that could be caused due to the new policy.

c. present the rationale for the new policies at the memo's beginning.

From the question, we are informed that Rubina is the director of procurement at Baines Corporation and that she plans to send a memo to the employees in her department outlining some changes in the company's personnel policies as she believes that most of the employees will view the changes favorably.

Since she is of the opinion that most of the employees will view the changes favorably, she can describe the bottom line of the policy changes at the beginning of the memo. This is because she believes the memo will get a favourable audience. In a situation whereby she is not sure if it will be favourable, in the begining of the memo, she may have to offer and apology and tell them the rationale behind the memo before going into further details.
