Which is an organizational unit that is useful for collecting and aggregating similar data on separate forms?

If the manager of the Sicilian Defence division is evaluated based on residual income, will she want to make an investment of $100,000 that would generate additional net operating income of $18,000 per year?

Yes.

The additional investment yields comparable positive Residual Income.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Net operating income of Sicilian Defence Division = $60,000

Average operating assets = $300,000

Required rate of return for the company = 15%

Residual income (RI)= Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Required Rate of Return)

= $60,000 - ($300,000 * 15%)

= $60,000 - $45,000

= $15,000

Investment cost = $100,000

Additional net operating income = $18,000

Residual Income = $18,000 - ($100,000 * 15%)

= $18,000 - $15,000

= $3,000

Total residual income = $78,000 - ($400,000 * 15%)

= $78,000 - $60,000

= $18,000

Tanaka Systems manufactures power switches for battery backup systems. The power switch has the following manufacturing costs pe

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Tanaka Systems should buy the switch from outside supplier, because the Unitary Product Cost will be decreased.

Explanation:

The current manufacturing product cost of Tanaka’s switch are made by the sum of Direct Materials ($9,00) + Direct Labor ($2,50) + Variable overhead ($11,00) + Fixed overhead ($14,00), which totals $36,50.

If Tanaka Systems buy the switch from the outside supplier instead of producing it, the costs with Direct Materials, Direct Labor and Variable Overhead will not be necessary anymore because these costs vary according to the production level. In this case, the only cost to remain is Fixed Overhead as none of the fixed costs are avoidable. So, the new unitary product cost will be made by the sum of Switch Cost from supplier ($19,25) + Fixed Overhead ($14,00), which totals $33,50.
