Which of the following characterize a manager as being efficient?

Savallas Company is highly automated and uses computers to control manufacturing operations. The company uses a job-order costin

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Part 1. Compute the company%u2019s predetermined overhead rate for the year

Predetermined overhead rate = $15 / Computer Hour

Part 2. Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year.

Underapplied Overheads are: $1,350,000 - $900,000 = $450,000

Part 3. Assume the company closes any underapplied or overapplied overhead directly to cost of goods sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry.

Cost of goods sold $450,000 (debit)

Overhead Account $450,000 (credit)

Part 4. Company allocates any underapplied or overapplied overhead to work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold on the basis of the amount of overhead applied during the year that remains in each account at the end of the year:

Work In Process $18,000 (debit)

Finished Goods $73,008 (debit)

Cost of Goods Sold $315,000 (debit)

Overhead Account $450,000(credit)

Explanation:

Part 1. Compute the company%u2019s predetermined overhead rate for the year

Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity

= $1,275,000/ 85,000

= $15 / Computer Hour

Part 2. Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year.

Applied Overheads = Actual hours × Predetermined overhead rate

= 60,000 × $15

= $900,000

Actual Overheads = given = $1,350,000

Applied Overheads $900,000 < Actual Overheads $1,350,000, thus we have an underapplied situation

Therefore Underapplied Overheads are: $1,350,000 - $900,000 = $450,000

Part 3. Assume the company closes any underapplied or overapplied overhead directly to cost of goods sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry.

Cost of goods sold $450,000 (debit)

Overhead Account $450,000 (credit)

Part 4. Company allocates any underapplied or overapplied overhead to work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold on the basis of the amount of overhead applied during the year that remains in each account at the end of the year:

Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for S25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

1A. Compute the CM ratio and the break-even point in balls.

CM ratio = 2.5
break even point = 21,000 balls

1B. Compute the degree of operating leverage at last year.

31.82%

2. Due to an increase in labor rates, the company estimates that variable expenses will increase by $3 per ball next year. If this change takes place and the selling price per ball remains constant at $25, what will be the new CM ratio and break-even point in balls?

CM ratio = 3.57
break even point = 30,000 balls

3. Refer to the data in (2) above. If the expected change in variable expenses takes place, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, last year?

42,858 balls

4. The president feels that the company must raise the selling price of its basketballs. If Northwood Company wants to maintain the same CM ratio as last year, what selling price per ball must it charge next year to cover the increased labor costs?

new price of $28 per ball

5. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable expenses per ball by 40%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double. If the new plant is built, what would be the company's new CM ratio and new break-even point in balls?

CM = 1.32
26,250 balls

6.a. If the new plant is built, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, as last year?

31,875 balls

6.b. Assume the new plant is built and that next year the company manufactures and sells 30,000 balls (the same number as sold last year). Prepare a contribution format income statement and compute the degree of operating leverage.

Income Statement

Total revenue $750,000

Variable expenses <u>($270,000) </u>

Contribution margin $480,000

Fixed expenses <u>($420,000 )</u>

Net operating income $60,000

Degree of operating leverage = 60.87%

6.c. If you were a member of top management, would you have been in favor of constructing the new plant?

If you cannot avoid paying the salary raise, then the company needs to carry on the new plant project.

Explanation:

sales price per ball = $25

variable expenses: $15 per unit

direct labor $9
other variable costs $6

CM ratio = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $300,000 = 2.5

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $210,000 / $10 = 21,000 balls

degree of operating leverage = fixed costs / total costs = $210,000 / $660,000 = 31.82%

new CM ratio = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $210,000 = 3.57

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $210,000 / $7 = 30,000 balls

sales level for $90,000 profit = ($210,000 + $90,000) / $7 = 42,857.14 ≈ 42,858 balls

CM ratio (new plant) = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $570,000 = 1.32

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $420,000 / $16 = 26,250 balls

sales level for $90,000 profit = ($420,000 + $90,000) / $16 = 31,875 balls

Consider a corrupt provincial government in which each housing inspector examines two newly built structures each week. All the

Anarel [89]

Answer:

a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?

So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.

c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.

This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.

d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?

Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.
