Answer:
1. Osaka ROI 32 %
Yokohoma ROI 30%
2.Osaka Residual income $329,000
Yokohoma Residual income $960,000
Explanation:
1. Computation for return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover.
Using this formula
ROI = Net operating income/Average operating assets
Let plug in the morning
Osaka ROI = 752,000/2,350,000
Osaka ROI =32 %
Yokohoma ROI = 2,400,000/$ 8,000,000
Yokohoma ROI =30%
Therefore for return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover is :
Osaka ROI 32 %
Yokohoma ROI 30%
2. Computation for the residual income for each division.
Using this formula
Residual income = Net operating income - Required return
Let plug in the formula
Osaka Residual income= 752,000 - (2,350,000*18%)
Osaka Residual income= 752,000-423,000
Osaka Residual income = $329,000
Yokohoma Residual income = 2,400,000 - ($8,000,000*18%)
Yokohoma Residual income = 2,400,000-1,440,000
Yokohoma Residual income= $960,000
Therefore the residual income for each division is:
Osaka Residual income $329,000
Yokohoma Residual income $960,000

An electronics store introduces three new types of music players to its customers. Each of the new music players are priced at $99, $79, and $59. Which psychological pricing approach is the store using to price the music players
Answer: The case of the number nine
Explanation:
Studies have shown that the human brain prefers to buy things whose prices end with the number 9 as opposed to zero such as 10 or 100.
The brain apparently interprets the number 9 at the end of a price to mean that the person is saving money and getting better value by buying the product. In making all three prices end in nine, the electronics store is using this psychological pricing strategy.
Under absorption costing, which of the following costs would not be included in finished goods inventory? a.overtime wages paid to factory workers b.the salaries for salespeople c.hourly wages of assembly worker d.straight-line depreciation on factory equipment
Answer:
b.the salaries for salespeople
Explanation:
Absorption costing is the method of costing that tries to itemise all factors that are used in manufacturing a product. These include direct materials, direct labour, and overhead.
However there is no provision for items under contributing margin (that is costs that are derived from sales revenue). Such costs can include salaries of sales people that are taken out of sales revenue.
Other items such as overtime wages paid to factory workers, hourly wages of assembly worker, and straight-line depreciation on factory equipment are all included in absorption costing
All companies try to have happy workers as they know the relationship between satisfaction and performance. This is why they are focusing on motivating their employees in a variety of ways. From what you have learned please suggest what companies should do to have a working place that could effectively motivate their employees.
Answer:
1. Reward and incentivize workers
2. Set smaller weekly or biweekly goals for them.
3. Foster trust between the managers and workers.
Explanation:
In order to have workers who are motivated to put in their best in the company, employers should take certain positive actions. These actions include;
1. Reward and incentivize workers: Rewards which could be monetary, as word of praise, or formal recognition can move workers to give their best. Humans are motivated when their efforts are recognized and praised. Therefore, incentivizing workers is a good way to get them motivated.
2. Set smaller weekly or biweekly goals for them: Setting humongous goals and targets can scare off and pressurize the workers. But when these large goals are broken into smaller goals, they can then be motivated to reach those goals.
3. Foster trust between the managers and workers: When workers have a sense of belonging and know that they are trusted, they will be in a more relaxed frame to achieve their goals. Unwarranted allegations and suspicions can put the workers on edge.

Answer:
$22,000
Explanation:
Costs of goods manufactured = Opening Work in Process + Manufacturing Costs Incurred during the Period - Ending Work in Process
thus,
Ending Work in Process = Opening Work in Process + Manufacturing Costs Incurred during the Period - Costs of goods manufactured
therefore,
Ending Work in Process = $85,000 + ( $344,000+ $224,000+ $329,000) - $960,000
= $22,000

December 11: 12 units were sold at $35 per unit.
December 15: 20 units were purchased at $10.15 per unit.
December 22: 18 units were sold at $35 per unit.
a. $51.75
b. $94.00
c. $50.75
d. $83.22
e. $41.30
Answer:
COGS= $297
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
December 2: 5 units were purchased at $7 per unit.
December 9: 10 units were purchased at $9.40 per unit.
December 11: 12 units were sold at $35 per unit.
December 15: 20 units were purchased at $10.15 per unit.
December 22: 18 units were sold at $35 per unit.
First, we need to calculate the number of units sold:
Number of units sold= 12 + 18= 30
Now, under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the lasts units incorporated into inventory:
COGS= 20*10.15 + 10*9.4
COGS= $297

Rachel is preparing to open her own raft rental business, cleverly named Rachel's Rafts. She figures out that her fixed costs will be $7,500 and her unit variable costs are $2 per raft. She plans to rent all 2,500 rafts she has on hand. What is Rachel's breakeven price
Answer:
selling price= $5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed cost= $7,500
Unitary variable cost= $2
Break-even point= 2,500 units
The break-even point is the number of units to sell to cover the fixed costs. At this level, net income is zero.
So given the costs structure and 2,500 units to sell, the selling price that provides the break-even point is:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ (selling price - unitary variable cost)
2,500 = 7,500 / (selling price - 2)
2,500selling price - 5,000 = 7,500
2,500selling price = 12,500
selling price = 12,500 / 2,500
selling price= $5

She has allocated her entire budget. If the price of an apple is 10 cents and the price of an orange is 20 cents, to maximize her utility, what should Mary do
Answer:
Buy more apples and fewer oranges
Explanation:
Utility is defined as the level of enjoyment or satisfaction that a person gets from consumption of a good or service.
Consumers logically try to maximise utility.
In the given instance we need to get the level of utility for apples and oranges to see which has more utility per unit cash spent.
For apples utility per cash spent = 30 units of utility ÷ 10 cents= 3 utility per cent
For oranges utility per cash spent = 40 units of utility ÷ 20 cents = 2 utility per cent
As apples have a higher utility per cent spent, it will be best Mary buys more apples and fewer oranges

Tora Co. plans to produce 1,020 units in July. Each unit requires two hours of direct labor. The direct labor rate is $20 per hour. Prepare a direct labor budget for July.\
Answer: $40,800
Explanation:
Each unit requires 2 hours of direct labor.
1,020 units would therefore require:
= 1,020 * 2
= 2,040 hours of labor
The direct labor rate is $20 per hour. If there are 2,040 hours to be worked, the cost would therefore be:
= 20 * 2,040
= $40,800
October 1 October 31 Raw materials $ 30,000 $21,000 Work in process 48,000 37,000 Finished goods 108,000 90,000 During October, purchases of direct materials were $36,000. Direct labor and factory overhead costs were $60,000 and $84,000, respectively. What is the cost of goods manufactured
Answer:
Cost of goods manufactured= $200,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
October 1 October 31
Raw materials $ 30,000 $21,000
Work in process 48,000 37,000
Direct material purchase= $36,000
Direct labor= $60,000
Factory overhead costs= $84,000
First, we need to calculate the direct material used:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 30,000 + 36,000 - 21,000
Direct material used= $45,000
Now, the cost of goods manufactured:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 48,000 + 45,000 + 60,000 + 84,000 - 37,000
cost of goods manufactured= $200,000

In Washburn's factory, what is the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is (a) $349, (b) $389, and (c) $309? Also, (d) if Washburn achieves the sales target of 2,000 units at the $349 retail price, what will its profit be?
Answer:
a. 186 units
b. 156 units
c. 232 units
d. $370,000
Explanation:
a. Calculation to determine the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $349
Using this formula
Break-even point quantity = Fixed cost / Unit price – Unit variable cost
Let plug in the formula
Break-even point quantity = ($14,000 + $4,000 + $20,000) / $349 – ($25 + $120)
Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $349 - $145
Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $204
Break-even point quantity= 186.27
Break-even point quantity= 186 units
Therefore the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $349 will be 186 units
b. Calculation to determine the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $389
Break-even point quantity = ($14,000 + $4,000 + $20,000) / $389 – ($25 + $120)
Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $389 - $145
Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $244= 155.74
Break-even point quantity = 156 units (Approximately)
Therefore Therefore the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $389 will be 156 units
c. Calculation to determine the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $309
Break-even point quantity=($14,000+$4,000+$20,000)/$309 – ($25 + $120)
Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $309 - $145
Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $164
Break-even point quantity= 231.71
Break-even point quantity = 232 units (Approximately)
Therefore the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $309 will be 232 units
d. Calculation to determine what will its profit be
if Washburn achieves the sales target of 2,000 units at the $349 retail price
Using this formula
Profit = Total revenue – Total cost
Profit= (P x Q) – [FC + (UVC x Q)]
Let plug in the formula
Profit= ($349 x 2000) – [$38,000 + ($145 x 2,000)]
Profit= $698,000 – $328,000
Profit= $370,000
Therefore the profit will be $370,000
MC Qu. 163 Flagstaff Company has budgeted production... Flagstaff Company has budgeted production units for July of 7,500 units. Variable factory overhead is $1.3 per unit. Budgeted fixed factory overhead is $17,000, which includes $2,600 of factory equipment depreciation. Compute the total budgeted overhead to be reported on the factory overhead budget for the month.
Answer:
$26,750
Explanation:
Computation for the total budgeted overhead to be reported on the factory overhead budget for the month.
Using this formula
Total budgeted overhead=Variable factory overhead +Fixed factory overhead X
Let plug in the formula
Total budgeted overhead=($1.3*7,500 units)+$17,000X
Total budgeted overhead=$9,750+$17,000X
Total budgeted overhead=$26,750
Therefore the total budgeted overhead to be reported on the factory overhead budget for the month is $26,750
Standish Company manufactures consumer products and provided the following information for the month of February:
Units produced 131,000
Standard direct labor hours per unit 0.20
Standard fixed overhead rate (per direct labor hour) $2.50
Budgeted fixed overhead $65,000
Actual fixed overhead costs $68,300
Actual hours worked 26,350
Required:
a. Calculate the fixed overhead spending variance using the formula approach.
b. Calculate the volume variance using the formula approach.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Fixed overhead Spending Variance is
= Budgeted Fixed Overhead - Actual Fixed overhead
= $65000 - $68300
= - $3300 (unfavorable)
b.
Fixed Overhead Volume Variance is
= (131000 × 0.20 × $2.50) - $65000
=$65500 - $65000
= $500 Favorable
In this way these can be determined

You are considering the purchase of a machine out of your evaluation among four new ones. They have differing initial and ongoing costs and differing lives. Whichever machine is purchased will be replaced at the end of its useful life. Under such circumstances, you should choose the machine to purchase based on the ___________________.
Answer:
Lowest equivalent annual cost.
Explanation:
Considering the above scenario, it is more advantageous to choose the machine that has the lowest equivalent annual cost. As the newly acquired machine will be replaced at the end of its useful life, it is more advantageous for it to have a higher performance and lower annual cost among others, as the cost of depreciation of machinery and equipment must be considered as a fixed cost that will also directly impact a company's accounts.
Bailey Corporation purchased a building on December 31, 2003 for $2,500,000. The building was placed in service on January 1, 2004 and was assumed to have an estimated useful life of 50 years and a zero salvage value. Bailey uses the straight line method for computing depreciation, and all applicable depreciation has been recorded through December 31, 2017. During 2018, an examination of the building by an engineering firm revealed that the remaining estimated useful life is now 15 years. What amount should Bailey record for building depreciation expense in 2018
Answer: $120,000
Explanation:
The annual depreciation will be calculated as:
= Cost/Estimated Life
= 2500000/50
= 50000
The depreciation up to 2017 will be:
= 50000 × 14
= 700000
The book value at the end of 2017 will be:
= Cost - Depreciation up to 2017
= 2500000 - 700000
= 1800000
Then, the annual depreciation with the revised life will be:
= Book Value at the End of 2017/Remaining Life
= 1800000/15
= 120000
Therefore, the amount of depreciation for 2018 will be $120000
