When choosing a type of media to use what should be considered? Why?

Assume that a company makes only three products: Product A, Product B, and Product C. Currently, the company uses a conventional

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Company A

Using the activity-based costing approach, the percent of the company’s total Material Handling activity cost that would be allocated to Product B is:

d. 33%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Product A Product B Product C Total Use

Number of units produced 1,000 units 7,000 units 2,000 units 10,000

Direct labor hours per unit 2 hours 2 hours 2 hours 6

Number of setups 30 setups 50 setups 20 setups 100

Number of material moves 600 moves 400 moves 200 moves 1,200

Number of products 1 product 1 product 1 product 3

Product B usage of Material Handling Activity Cost:

Allocation Basis = Number of material moves

Product B material moves = 400

Total material moves = 1,200

Therefore, the percentage of Product B usage of material handling activity is:

= 400/1,200 * 100

= 33%

If all projects are assigned the same discount rate for purposes of evaluation, which of the following could occur? A. Highmin

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

D. All of the choices could occur when using a single discount rate for all projects.

Explanation:

The discount rate is the rate of return that is used to discount the cash flows analysis in determining the present and future values of cash flows.

The discount rate also called the discounted cash flow analysis follows the valuation method based on the time concept of money the DFC helps to find out the variability of the project by calculating the present values by the discounted rate.

Thus if all the projects are assigned the same discount rates then the aim of revaluation of the project choices will be the same for all the projects like investing in standards assets like the bonds.

The following information is given for an economy: Labor Force of an Economy Number of People (millions) Total population 35.4 C

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

a. 28.7 millions

b. 20.4 millions

c. 0.9231, or 92.31%

Explanation:

a. How much of the population is older than 16? million

Number of population older than 16 = Total population - Children under the age of 16 = 35.4 – 6.7 = 28.7 millions

b. What is the size of the labor force? million

Labour force = Employed + Unemployed = 18.5 + 1.9 = 20.4 millions

c. What is the labor force participation rate?

Working age population = Total population – Children under the age of 16 – Retirees = 35.4 – 6.7 – 6.6 = 22.1 millions

Labor force participation rate = Labor force ÷ Working age population = 20.4 ÷ 22.1 = 0.9231, or 92.31%

A copy machine acquired with a cost of $1,410 has an estimated useful life of 4 years. It is also expected to have a useful oper

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

a. Straight-line method

Depreciation Expense for the first year: $333.75

b. Double-declining-balance method

Depreciation Expense for the first year: $667.5

c. Units-of-output method

Depreciation Expense for the first year: $450

Explanation:

a. Straight-line method

Depreciation Expense each year is calculated by following formula

Annual Depreciation Expense = (Cost of machine − Residual Value)/Useful Life = ($1,410 - $75)/4 = $333.75

Depreciation Expense for the first year: $333.75

b. Double-declining-balance method

Under the straight-line method, useful life is 4 years, so the asset's annual depreciation will be 25% of the Depreciable cost.

Depreciable cost = Total cost of machine - Residual value = $1,410-$75 = $1.335

Under the double-declining-balance method the 25% straight line rate is doubled to 50% - multiplied times

Depreciation Expense for the first year = $1.335 x 50% = $667.5

c. Units-of-output method

Depreciation Expense per copy = (Cost of machine − Residual Value)/Life in Number of Units = ($1,410 - $75)/13,350 = $0.1

Depreciation Expense for the first year = Depreciation Expense per copy x number of copies were made the first year = $0.1 x 4,500 = $450

High Flying takes tourists on helicopter tours of Hawaii. Each tourist buys a $190 ticket; the variable costs average $57 per pe

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a. 450 tours per month

b. $850 per month

c. CM Ratio = 0.7

d.

1. Increase

2. Decrease

3. No Effect

Explanation:

The questions are:

a. Compute the average number of tours the company must conduct per month to break even

b. Compute the average sales revenue needed per month to produce a target average profit of $53,200

c. Calculate the contribution margin ratio. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

d. Determine whether the actions that follow will increase, decrease, or not affect the company's break-even point.

1. A decrease in tour prices.

2. The termination of a salaried clerk (no replacement is planned).

3. A decrease in the number of tours sold.

Solution:

a.

Selling Price = 190

VC = 57

Unit Contribution Margin = $133

Fixed Cost = 718,200 yearly, so monthly is:

718,200/12 = 59,850

Break even occurs when by selling tours they will cover monthly fixed cost of 59,850 [each tour will get 133], thus:

59,850/133 = 450 tours per month

b.

718,200 FC yearly, means, monthly:

718,200/12 = $59,850

Profit needed 53,200, so we would need to cover:

53200+59850 = $113,050

Each tour gives Unit CM to be $133, so we would need revenue of:

Rev = 113,050/133 = $850

c.

Contribution margin ratio is the quotient of difference in sales and var expenses to sales.

So,

CM Ratio = (Sales - Var Exp) / Sales

CM Ratio = (190 - 57) / 190 = 0.7

d.

1.

If the tour prices, decrease, there will be less revenue coming in so the break even point would go higher.

So, break even point will increase

2.

If a salaried clerk is terminated, it will decrease the salary costs of the company. This is decrease the fixed costs of the company (annual wages and salaries), thus it will be easier to cover the new, lower, fixed costs. Thus, the break even point will decrease

3.

A decrease in number of tours sold would proportionally change the variables and other costs and revenues associated. If you look at the calculation above, you will see that "number of tours" won't affect the Break Even Point. Thus, this action will create "no effect".
