Answer:
The main conflict that results between planning and control use of budgets is that managers might place their own personal interests before the interests of the company. This might result in budgets that are easily achievable (resulting in bonuses) or shifting income from one period to another in order to achieve certain budgets that will result in bonuses.
I will use a real life example that happened to me to explain this. I worked as a B2B sales representative for a large corporation (we were only 2 B2B salespeople + 1 manager) and when sales were slowing down, upper management would set up bonuses for achieving certain sales goals. The problem was that intentionally certain large sales that required management's approval were delayed and total sales would fall. Then suddenly the bonus show sup and all the large sales were approved and in two weeks the sales goals were achieved. Since B2B sales are not about selling to a lot of customers, but instead selling to the right customers a lot of products, a couple of delayed big sales made a huge difference and a 1% bonus meant changing your old car for a new one.
Answer:
COGS= $181,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning Finished Goods= $39,000
Ending Finished Goods= $53,000
Cost of goods manufactured= 234,000 - 39,000= $195,000
<u>To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:</u>
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 39,000 + 195,000 - 53,000
COGS= $181,000
Answer:
Total cost= $650,857
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
At an activity level of 6,900 units in a month, Zeus Corporation's total variable maintenance and repair cost is $408,756, and its total fixed maintenance and repair cost is $230,253.
<u>We need to calculate the total cost of 7,100 units. Because it is between the relevant range, fixed costs will remain the same. We need to determine the unitary variable cost.</u>
Unitary variable cost= total variable cost/ unit
Unitary variable cost= 408,756/6,900= $59.24
Total cost= 59.24*7,100 + 230,253= $650,857
