Companies A and B are in the same industry and are identical except for cost structure. At a volume of 50,000 units, the compani

es have equal net incomes. At 60,000 units, Company A's net income would be substantially higher than B's. Based on this information,
A. Company A's cost structure has more variable costs than B's.
B. Company A's cost structure has higher fixed costs than B's.
C. Company B's cost structure has higher fixed costs than A's.

Answer:

B. Company A's cost structure has higher fixed costs than B's.

Explanation:

Let's see the formula for income:

50,000 units x sales price - variable cost x 50,000 - fixed = net income

50,000 (sales - variable) - fixed = net income

At 50,000 both have equal net income.

Also we are given the fact that their sales is the same.

"identical except for cost structure"

So:

50,000 (S-V_a)-Fixed_a = 50,000 (S-V_b)-Fixed_b

We work it and remove sales from the equation:

50,000S-50,000V_a-Fixed_a = 50,000S-50,000V_b-Fixed_b

-50,000Variable_a-Fixed_a = -50,000Variable_b-Fixed_b

At 60,000 units, Company A has a higer income, so the increase of variable cost in company A is lower than company B

The cost of 10,000 more units is all variable cost, if Company A has more income, then their variable are lower.

If variable cost for 10,000 is lower, same applies for the variable cost for 50,000 so we have:

10,000Va < 10,000 Vb

50,000Va < 50,000Vb

So to have equal income at 50,000 units.

Fixed of A > Fixed of B

Atkinson Construction assembles residential houses. It uses a job-costing system with two direct-cost categories (direct materia
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

1. Compute the

(a) budgeted indirect-cost rate

$40 per labor hour

and (b) actual indirect-cost rate.

$42 per labor hour

Why do they differ?

Because total assembly support costs and labor hours were different.They both were actually lower than expected, but the labor hours were 9% lower while the costs were around 5% lower. That is why the actual rate increased (denominator decreased more than numerator).

2. What are the job costs of the Laguna Model and the Mission Model using (a) normal costing

                                               Laguna Model       Mission Model

assembly-support cost                $38,800               $40,000

and (b) actual costing?

                                              Laguna Model       Mission Model

assembly-support cost                $40,7400               $42,000

3. Why might Atkinson Construction prefer normal costing over actual costing?

The problem with actual costing is that they cannot be budgeted, you can only budget normal costing. Any business has to prepare budgets in order to control how their operations are being carried out and then they need to adjust them to the actual costs incurred.

Explanation:

                                                  Laguna Model       Mission Model

Construction period                 Feb-June 2017       May-0ct 2017

Direct material costs                   $106,550              $127,450

Direct labor costs                         $36,250                 $41,130

Direct labor-hours                             970                      1,000

budgeted indirect cost rate:

assembly-support costs $8,800,000

direct labor-hours 220,000

budgeted assembly-support cost per labor hour = $8,800,000 / 220,000 = $40 per hour

                                               Laguna Model       Mission Model

assembly-support cost                $38,800               $40,000

actual indirect cost rate:

assembly-support costs $8,400,000

direct labor-hours 200,000

actual assembly-support cost per labor hour = $8,400,000 / 200,000 = $42 per hour

                                               Laguna Model       Mission Model

assembly-support cost                $40,7400               $42,000

aleksley [76]

Answer: 0.050

Explanation:

Mean = 18

USL = 18.6

LSL = 17.4

SD = 1.25

Cpk = Min{(mean - LSL / 3*sd), (USL - mean / 3*sd)}

= Min{ ( 18 - 17.4/ 3 * 1.25), (18.6 - 18 / 3 * 1.25)}

= Min { 0.05 0.05)

Cpk = 0.050

A beneficiary acquired stock from a decedent. The stock's fair market value at the date of the decedent's death was $500,000. Th
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Beneficiary recognized gain is $510000.

Explanation:

The amount paid by the decedent for the stock = $280000

The market value of the stock at the time of death = $500000

The selling price or the amount received by the beneficiary by the sell of stock = $510000

Since the recognized gain is calculated by subtracting the amount paid by the person to buy the stock from the amount that he receives from the sale of stock. But in this case, the beneficiary pays zero for the stock but gets all the money after selling.

Beneficiary recognized gain = amount received from the sell – the amount paid by the beneficiary.

= $510000 – 0

= $510000
