Make the telephones; the savings is $2,000 C. Buy the telephones; the savings is $24,000 D. Make the telephones; the savings is $12,000

Answer:

A. Buy the telephones; the savings is $12,000

Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

Particulars                    Without offer                  with offer

Direct material              $4,000                              $0

                              (2,000 × $2)

Direct labor              $16,000                                 $0

                             (2,000 × $8)

Variable manufacturing overhead $12,000         $0

                             (2,000 × $6)

Fixed manufacturing overhead $12,000             $2,000

                                                                 ($12,000 - $10,000)

Purchase cost                                                        $30,000

                                                                  ($2,000  × $15)

Total cost                   $44,000                        $32,000

Therefore the option A is correct

Review each of the following independent sets of conditions. For each condition, calculate the (1) sample rate of deviation, and use the AICPA sample evaluation tables to identify the (2) upper limit rate of deviation, and (3) allowance for sampling risk (n = sample size, d = deviations. ROO = risk of overreliance). (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

a. n = 100. d = 8. ROO = 5%.
b. n = 100. d = 4. ROO = 5%.
c. n = 100. d = 8. ROO = 10%.

The purchase price allocation included the following items: $4 million, patent; $5 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $6 million, goodwill.

On January 8, 2012, Speedway Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $65,000. Before placing the truck in service, Speedway spent $4,000 painting it, $2,500 replacing tires, and $8,000 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $6,000. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 22,000 miles in each of the first four years and 12,000 miles in the fifth year—100,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, David Greer, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Requirements
1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.
2. Speedway prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use. For income tax purposes, the company uses the depreciation method that minimizes income taxes in the early years. Consider the first year that Speedway uses the truck. Identify the depreciation methods that meet the general manager’s objectives, assuming the income tax authorities permit the use of any of the methods.

You are the manager for a Pizza restaurant. Currently, your restaurant pre-makes pizzas that are ordered the most to increase the number of pizzas being made on time for your customers. Over time, many customers have complained that their pizzas were cold upon delivery and not fresh, requesting refunds or remakes of their pizza. Your location is losing money from these wasteful practices, therefore, you want to create a Kanban based on the following basic principles:

1. A later process tells an earlier process when new items are required. This means that unless a customer orders a pizza, no pizzas will be made. Pull!
2. The earlier process produces what the later process needs.
3. No Items can be made without a Kanban card (order request). This allows the process to be transparent so everyone knows what is going on.
4. Defects are not passed on to the next stage.Create a Kanban board for your pizza company that delivers. You must have 4-6 columns with headings for each.

Required:
Decide what your Kanban cards will represent. Set Rules for your Kanban.
