Answer:

Part a.

Yes, variable costing operating income is less than or greater than absorption costing.

Part b.

$247,860

Explanation:

The difference between variable costing operating income and absorption costing operating income lies in the fixed costs deferred in inventory.

The profit in both method is the same if and only if there is no inventory. That means units produced equal units sold (Production = Sales)

The absorption costing method includes fixed manufacturing cost in determining product costs whereas the variable costing method only accounts for variable manufacturing cost.

When the units produced are greater than units Sold (Production > Sales) , Fixed Costs in Inventory increases this means absorption profits will be greater than Variable costing profit as <em>Fixed costs in inventory value reduces cost of sales in absorption costing.</em>

<u>Difference in variable costing and absorption costing operating income.</u>

Difference = (81,000 - 76,140) x $51

                  = $247,860

7. Which type of business document do you think you are most likely to use often in your company? Why?
Sever21 [200]

Company bylaws for corporations. Most states require corporations to keep a written record of bylaws, although you don’t need to file the document with a state office. Bylaws define how the company will govern itself. Even if your company is incorporated in the handful of states that don’t require bylaws, they are still a good idea as they spell out your business’ structure, individual roles, and governance issues. For example, bylaws can help settle a dispute on the length of a director’s term or define if you need a simple majority to approve a decision.

Cully Furniture buys two products for resale: king beds (K) and queen beds (Q). Each king bed costs $500 and requires 100 cubic
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

1) 500K + 250Q ≤ 80,000

  100K+80Q≤ 30,000

K≥0

Q≥0

P= 400K + 200Q

2) zero king beds and 320 queen beds

or zero queen beds and 160 king beds

3) surplus variable

surplus variable is storage space

values of surplus variable is 14,000 cubic feet if zero queen beds and 160 king beds

value of surplus variable is 4,400 cubic feet if zero king beds and 320 queen beds.

surplus is the extra amount available after all resources have been utilized to theri maximum.

4) none of the resources will be completely used. There will be surplus of both

Explanation:

1) Implicit variables: K≥0 ;   Q ≥ 0

Explicit variables:

500K + 250Q ≤ 80,000-------------------------- from investment constraint

  100K+80Q≤ 30,000 ---------------------- from storage space constraint

LP:  P= 400K + 200Q

2) See the attachment for profit maximization graph

3) From graph in the attachment, it can be inferred that storage space is the surplus variable since graph of that equation lies completely outside of optimal area.

Also,

if K=160 and Q=0, the inequality of investment gives

500(160) + 250(0)= 80,000

if K=0 and Q=320, the inequality of investment gives

500(0)+ 250(320) =80,000

if K=0 and Q = 320, the inequality of space gives

100(0) + 80(320)= 25,600

surplus= 30,000- 25,600= 4,400

if K=160 and Q=0, the inequality of space gives

100(160) +250(0)= 16000

surplus= 30000-16000= 14000

4) K=0 and Q=300

investment inequality gives

500(0) + 250(300) ≤ 80,000

75,000≤ 80,000

space inequality gives

100(0) + 80(300) ≤ 30,000

24,000≤ 30,000

Both space and investment are in surplus

Suppose someone offered to sell you a note calling for the payment of $1,000 15 months from today. They offer to sell it to you
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

1. The future value = 1000

Now we are to calculate the future value of bank savings

= 850x(1+0.07)^15/12

= 850x1.07^1.25

=$925.0147

So it is better to buy note.

2. Present value = 1000/(1.07^15/12)

= 1000/1.08825252622

= $918.9

For one to get same amount of money then savings would have to be increased. So we choose note

3. EAR = EFF%

= 1000/(850^12/15)-1

= 13.88%

We have EAR on bank as 7% and that of note as 13.88%. note is higher so we choose note
