Arturiano [62]

Answer:

fixed costs = $255,000

variable costs = (15,000 / 17,000) x $216,750 = $191,250

Explanation:

A flexible budget is prepared in order to compare how budgeted revenues and costs actually worked out. In other words, if actual revenues and costs were similar to the budget previously prepared. A flexible budget adjusts actual results and helps management control how efficient the company was in following their budget. That is why a flexible budget is done after the budgeted period is over.

Fixed costs should not change (that is why they are fixed), but variable costs should change if the actual output was different than the budgeted output.

It is likely that airplane tickets will be increased by 5% each year for the next four years. The cost of the plane ticket to De
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The amount to save now is = $862.03 (to 2 decimal places)

Explanation:

In order to solve this, we will compute the end-of-year amounts using the 5% increase each year. This is done as follows:

Year 1 ending = $200

Year 2:

Year 2 beginning price = $200

Note that 5% increase = 5/100 = 0.05

increase in year 2 = 5% of 200 = 0.05 × 200 = 10

Year 2 new price = 200 + 10 = $210

Year 3:

beginning price = $210

increase in year 3 = 0.05 × 210 = $10.5

Year 3 new price = 210 + 10.5 = $220.5

Year 4

beginning price = $220.5

interest in year 4 = 0.05 × 220.5 = 11.025

new price in year 4 = 220.5 + 11.025 = $231.525

Next to calculate the amount needed to pay for one travel ticket per year for the next four years, we will add the prices of the tickets each year as follows:

Total amounts needed = 200 +210 + 220.50 + 231.53 = $862.03

A manufacturer is contemplating a switch from buying to producing a certain item. Setup cost would be the same as ordering cost.
Flauer [41]

Answer

D) compared to the EOQ, the maximum inventory would be approx 30% lower.

Explanation

EOQ = √(2*Co*D/Cc)

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/(Cc*(1-x)))

x=D/P

D = demand rate

P =production rate

Co=ordering cost

Cc=holding cost

1) The production rate would be about double the usage rate.

hence, P = 2D

x=D/2D=0.5

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/((1-0.5)*Cc))

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/0.5Cc)

EPQ=√ (1/0.5)*EOQ

EPQ=√ (2)*EOQ

EPQ=1.41*EOQ

Hence, EPQ is around 40% larger than EOQ.

Ans.: c) EPQ will be approximately 40% larger than the EOQ.

2) Compared to the EOQ, the maximum inventory would be

maximum inventory = Q

EPQ = 1.41 EOQ

EPQ = 1.41*Q

Q=EPQ/1.41

Q=0.71 EPQ

Hence, compared to EOQ, maximum inventory in EPQ is only 70% of that in EOQ model.
