Motorcycle Manufacturers, Inc. projected sales of 51,100 machines for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory is 6,460 units, and the desired December 31 inventory is 7,130 units. What is the budgeted production (in units) for the year
Answer:
51,770 units
Explanation:
With regards to the above, the budgeted production (in unit) for the year is computed as;
= Sales - Beginning inventory + Ending inventory
Given that ;
Sales = 51,100
Beginning inventory = 6,460
Ending inventory = 7,130
Budgeted production in units for the year = 51,100 - 6,460 + 7,130 = 51,770 units
For each of the following situations, state whether total revenue received by the seller increases, decreases, or does not change.
a. If price elasticity of demand is -1.00 and price increases, total revenue.
b. If price elasticity of demand is -0.02 and price increases, total revenue
c. If price elasticity of demand is 5.00 and price increases, total revenue
d. If price elasticity of demand is-0.131 and price decreases, total revenue
e. If price elasticity of demand is -3.33 and price decreases, total revenue
Answer:
doesn't change
increases
decreases
decreases
increase
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
a. Demand is unit elastic and if price increases, quantity demanded would change by the same amount and total revenue would remain the same
b. Demand is inelastic. If prices increases, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded and revenue would increase
c. Demand is elastic. Increase in price would lead to a reduction in quantity demanded and total revenue would fall
Demand is inelastic, if prices are decreased, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded and revenue would fall
Demand is elastic. A decrease in price would increase the quantity demanded and total revenue would rise

d. The ticket taker admits his friends without tickets.
Julio produces two types of calculator, standard and deluxe. The company is currently using a traditional costing system with machine hours as the cost driver but is considering a move to activity-based costing. In preparing for the possible switch, Julio has identified two cost pools: materials handling and setup. The collected data follow:
Standard Model Deluxe Model
Number of machine hours 26,500 31,500
Number of material moves 625 925
Number of setups 85 575
Total estimated overhead costs are $313, 020, of which $183, 750 is assigned to the material handling cost pool and $179, 180 is assigned to the setup cost pool.
Required:
1. Calculate the overhead assigned to each product using the traditional cost system.
2. Calculate the overhead assigned to each product using ABC.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
a)
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 313,020 / 58,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5.4 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Standard= 5.4*26,500= $143,100
Deluxe= 5.4*31,500= $170,100
b)
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:
Material handling= 183,750 / 1,550= $118.55 per material moves
Setup= 179,180 / 660= $271.48 per setup
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Standard= 118.55*625 + 271.48*85= $97,169.55
Deluxe= 118.55*925 + 271.48*575= $265,759.75

Assume the following: The standard labor rate per hour is $17.00. The standard labor-hours allowed per unit of finished goods is 3 hours. The actual quantity of labor hours worked during the period was 44,000 hours. The total actual direct labor cost for the period was $726,000. The company produced 15,000 units of finished goods during the period. What is the labor efficiency variance
Answer: $17,000
Explanation:
Labour efficiency variance = Standard rate * (Standard hours - Actual hours )
Standard hours:
= Standard labor-hours allowed per unit * Number of units produced in period
= 3 * 15,000
= 45,000 hours
Labor efficiency variance = 17 * (45,000 - 44,000)
= $17,000 Favorable
Favorable because the standard amount is higher than the actual amount.

Madison Corporation's production cycle starts in the Processing Department. The following information is available for April: Units Work-in-process, April 1 (25% complete) 50,000 Total units in process during April 290,000 Work-in-process, April 30 (60% complete) 30,000 Materials are added at the beginning of the process in the Processing Department. What are the equivalent units of production for the month of April, assuming Madison uses the weighted-average method
Answer:
Equivalent units of production= 278,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total units in process during April 290,000
Work-in-process, April 30 (60% complete) 30,000
The weighted average method blends the costs and units of the previous period with the costs and units of the current period.
To calculate the equivalent units, we need to use the following formula:
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production= (290,000 - 30,000) + 30,000*0.6
Equivalent units of production= 278,000
Suppose Dr. Chu decided to open a donuts shop call Dr. Donuts. Dr. Chu is able to source flours at $2 per pound (making 40 donuts), sugars at $5 per pound (making 100 donuts), and butter at $1 per pound (making 100 donuts) While the donuts are not very tasty, Dr. Chu believes he can sell a lot of them by pricing them at $0.36 per donuts. Assuming his rent is $1800 per month, corporate tax of $100 per month, and draws a salary of $200 a day (use 30 days in a month), how many donuts must Dr. Chu sell in a month to break-even.
Answer:
31,600 donuts
Explanation:
Break even point is the level of activity where a company makes neither a profit nor a loss.
Break even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Contribution per unit = Sales per unit - Variable Costs per unit
Step 1 : Sales per donut
Sales per donut = $0.36
Step 2 : Variable Cost per Donut
Variable Cost per Donut :
Flours ($2 ÷ 40) $0.05
Sugars ($5 ÷ 100) $0.05
Butter ($1 ÷ 100) $0.01
Total $0.11
Step 3 : Fixed cost per month
Rent $1,800
corporate tax $100
Salary ($200 x 30) $6,000
Total $7,900
therefore,
Break even point = $7,900 ÷ ($0.36 - $0.11)
= 31,600 donuts
Conclusion :
Dr. Chu sell 31,600 donuts in a month to break-even.

Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services.
In sales and marketing, pricing of products is considered to be an essential element of a business firm's marketing mix because place, promotion and product largely depends on it.
Price discrimination refers to the situation in which a business firm sells an identical product to different consumers at different selling price based on reasons that are not in any way associated or related with its manufacturing cost.

Answer:
Duck Corporation
Rock Concert
a) Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2020:
Gross receipts $300,000
Less: Coliseum rental 25,000
Food 30,000
Souvenirs 60,000
Performers 100,000
Total expenses 215,000
Net income for 2019 85,000
b) The true cost is $116,240.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Rental of coliseum $25,000 December 21, 2020
Cost of goods sold:
Food 30,000 December 30, 2020
Souvenirs 60,000 December 30, 2020
Performers 100,000 January 5, 2021
Cleaning the coliseum $10,000
b) The Cleaning expense is excluded because the services had not been rendered as at December 31. The inclusion of the Performers' compensation is necessary because the services had been enjoyed and incurred as at December 31.
c) The true cost = the Present value of the $100,000 performers' compensation plus additional tax expense of $21,000 ($100,000 * 21%) that would have been deducted.
= $116,240 ($95,240 + $21,000)

Marshall Motor Homes currently sells 1,160 Class A motor homes, 2,170 Class C motor homes, and 1,600 pop-up trailers each year. It is considering adding a midrange camper and expects that if it does so the firm can sell 800 of them. However, if the new camper is added, the firm expects its Class A sales to decline by 8 percent while the Class C camper sales decline to 1,950 units. The sales of pop-ups will not be affected. Class A motor homes sell for an average of $179,000 each. Class C homes are priced at $64,500, and the pop-ups sell for $5,700 each. The new midrange camper will sell for $26,900. What is the erosion cost of the new camper
Answer:
$30,801,200
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the erosion cost of the new camper
Erosion cost (new camper) = [0.08 × 1,160 × $179,000] + [(2,170 − 1,950) × $64,500]
Erosion cost (new camper)=$16,611,200+$14,190,000
Erosion cost (new camper) = $30,801,200
Therefore the erosion cost of the new camper will be $30,801,200
You are the manager of a firm that manufactures front and rear windshields for the automobile industry. Due to economies of scale in the industry, entry by new firms is not profitable. Toyota has asked your company and your only rival to simultaneously submit a price quote for supplying 100,000 front and rear windshields for its newest version of the Highlander. If both you and your rival submit a low price, each firm supplies 50,000 front and rear windshields and earns a zero profit. If one firm quotes a low price and the other a high price, the low-price firm supplies 100,000 front and rear windshields and earns a profit of $11 million and the high-price firm supplies no windshields and loses $2 million. If both firms quote a high price, each firm supplies 50,000 front and rear windshields and earns a $6 million profit. Determine your optimal pricing strategy if you and your rival believe that the new Highlander is a "special edition" that will be sold only for one year. Would your answer differ if you and your rival were required to resubmit price quotes year after year and if, in any given year, there was a 60 percent chance that Toyota would discontinue the Highlander? Explain.
Answer:
a. The optimal pricing strategy will be one-shot Nash equilibrium in which “You” charge low price, “Your Rival” charge low price and then the payoff is ($0, $0)
b. Yes, the anwer will differ becuase it is not possible to sustain the collusive outcome as a Nash equilibrium because [tex]\pi ^{Cheat}[/tex] > [tex]\pi ^{Cooperate}[/tex].
Explanation:
a. Determine your optimal pricing strategy if you and your rival believe that the new Highlander is a "special edition" that will be sold only for one year.
Note: See the attached excel file for the Representation of one shot normal for of the game played between "You" and "Your Rival" together with the payoffs.
From the attached excel file, the dominant strategy is for “You” and “Your Rival” to charge “Low Price” each. If the dominant strategy is played by “You” and “Your Rival”, the optimal pricing strategy will be one-shot Nash equilibrium in which “You” charge low price, “Your Rival” charge low price and then the payoff is ($0, $0).
b. Would your answer differ if you and your rival were required to resubmit price quotes year after year and if, in any given year, there was a 60 percent chance that Toyota would discontinue the Highlander? Explain.
When we have a year-after-year competition between “You” and “Your Rival” but with a 60 percent chance that Toyota would discontinue the Highlander, the payoffs of the firm that continue to comply with the collusive strategy of charging “High Price” by each firm under the normal trigger strategy whereby “You” and “Your Rival” agree to charge high price as long as there is no past deviation by any of the firm, otherwise charge a low price is as follows:
[tex]\pi ^{Cooperate}[/tex] = $6 + $6(100% - 60%) + $6(100% - 60%)^2 + 6(100% - 60%)^2 …….
[tex]\pi ^{Cooperate}[/tex] = $6 / 6% = $10
Therefore, what the firm that cheats earn today is $11 million and it earns $0 forever. The implication of this is that [tex]\pi ^{Cheat}[/tex] = $11
Therefore, the anwer will differ becuase it is not possible to sustain the collusive outcome as a Nash equilibrium because [tex]\pi ^{Cheat}[/tex] > [tex]\pi ^{Cooperate}[/tex].
The manager of the Quick Stop Corner convenience store (which is open 360 days per year) sells four cases of Stein soda each day (1440 cases per year). Order costs are $8.00 per order. The lead time for an order is three days. Annual holding costs are equal to $57.60 per case. If the manager orders 16 cases each time she places an order, how many orders would she place in a year
Answer:
90 orders she would place in a year
Explanation:
The total annual cases of Stein soda that the manager buys are 1,440 cases. If she were to place 16 cases in a single order then we would divide the total cases bought in a year by the cases bought in a single order to determine the number of orders the manager would place in a year. As shown below:
No. of orders placed in a year = Annual Total Cases bought / Cases purchased in single order
No. of orders placed in a year = 1,440 / 16
No. of orders placed in a year = 90 orders
