Creative Canopies (CC) is a manufacturer of flexible canopies for athletic facilities. CC has contracts with 3 universities to i

nstall and maintain the canopies on their baseball field bleachers. The fields are essentially identical, so CC management has assumed that all costs would be equal for each customer. However, after missing budget predictions this year, the CFO decided to use ABC costing principles to evaluate the profitability of their customers. The cost accounting team has put together the following estimates regarding specific cost activities related to maintenance of the canopies:
Support Activity Driver Cost per Driver Unit
Major refinishes: Hours on jobs $55
Minor touchups: Number of visits $400
Communication: Number of calls $25
The universities are all out-of-state but relatively equidistant from the manufacturing plant, so per-trip travel costs are not considered to be significantly different. However, each university has different expectations regarding maintenance of the canopy, and CC has collected the following data for each customer:
University Hours (major) Visits (minor Calls
USD 100 7 12
USC 90 5 15
UCLA 120 6 9
(Assume that each of the three customers produces gross profits of $10,000).
Which customer is the least profitable?
A. USD
B. UCLA
C. USC

Lunchco Inc. produces picnic tables in a two-step process. Pretreated wood is cut in the Cutting Department and then the lumber
babunello [35]

Answer: company’s direct labor budget = $320000

Explanation:

Given that,

Standard hourly labor rate in the Cutting Department = $12

It takes 30 minutes of direct labor time to cut the lumber

Tables take one hour to assemble

Standard hourly rate in the Assembly Department = $10

Lunchco’s production budget = 20,000

Cutting Department =  production budget × direct labor time × Standard hourly labor rate

= 20000 × 0.5 hours/unit × $12/unit

= $120000

Assembly Department = production budget × Tables take one hour to assemble  × Standard hourly labor rate

= 20000 × 1 hour/unit × $10/unit

= $200000

Therefore,

company’s direct labor budget = Assembly Department + Cutting Department

= 200000 + 120000

= $320000

Universal Containers sells through many different reseller networks. Each reseller's deals are tracked on separate opportunities
tatiyna

Answer: change the forecast category to omitted on the duplicate opportunities

Explanation:

The sales process should be modified to ensure opportunities are not double-counted in the pipeline by changing the forecast category to omitted on the duplicate opportunities.

When this is done, the multiple opportunities for the same end customer will be curtailed and hence, there'll be accuracy with regards to the pipeline report.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Total sum at te end of 6 years=$ 73,138.97

Explanation:

<em>The total sum in Lee's account at the end of year would be determined as follows:</em>

FV= A × (1+r)^n

FV- Future sum?,

A- deposit amount ,

r- interest rate - 9%/2 = 4.5% per 6 months

n- number of years is 6

First deposit for  6 years

FV =  15,000× 1.045^(2×6)

 =  $25,438.22

Last 40,000 for 2 years

FV = 40,000 1.045^(2×2)

   =47,700.74403

Total sum at the end of 6 years

= $25,438.22 + $47,700.74
