Divisions deemed the most precarious within the company will tend to receive diminished funding. In layman's terms, the weighted average represents the cost of capital, indicating the return investors expect while reflecting the average risk of the firm. Managers often adjust this return depending on the risk levels associated with potential projects. Therefore, applying an average return across all projects would result in high-risk projects lacking sufficient funding, whereas low-risk projects would attract more resources.

Answer:

1.                                            Variable           Fixed

Cost of goods sold          70,000,000     30,000,000

Selling Expenses             12,000,000        4,000,000

Administrative Exp.           6,000,000         6,000,000

Total                                  88,000,000     40,000,000

Note:

Cost of goods sold: 70% variable and 30% fixed on 10,000,000 respectively

Selling expenses: 75% variable and 25% fixed on $16,000,000 respectively

Administrative expenses: 50% variable and 50% fixed on $12,000,000 respectively

2. Unit Variable cost = Total variable cost / Units produced

Total Variable cost          88,000,000

Units produced                  1,000,000

Unit variable cost                  88      

Unit Contribution margin = Selling Price - Variable cost per unit

Selling Price                    $188

- Variable cost per unit       $88

Unit Contribution margin   $100

3. Break even Point (Units) = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost                                    40,000,000

Contribution margin per Unit           100    

Break even Point (Units)               400,000

4. Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost                                           40,000,000

Increased Fixed cost                           5,000,000

Total New fixed cost                          45,000,000

Contribution margin per unit                   100      

Break even point (units)                      450,000

5. Determined sales units = (New fixed cost + Desired Income) / Contribution margin

New Fixed Cost                45,000,000

Desired Income                60,000,000

                                         105,000,000

Contribution margin                100        

per unit

Determined sales units      1,050,000

6. Maximum Income from operation = Total New sales - Total New variable cost - Total Fixed cost

Sales                               188,000,000

Increased sales               11,280,000

Total New sales              199,289,000

Variable cost                    88,000,000

New Variable cost     5,280,000

Total New Variable cost   93,280,000

Total New Fixed cost       45,000,000

Maximum Income from   61,000,000

operation

Number of units = Increase in sales / Price per unit

New variable cost = Number of units * Unit variable cost

Increased sales                    11,280,000

Price per unit                            188    

Number of units                      60,000

Unit variable cost x                  88.00

New Variable cost                 5,280,000

7. Net income = Sales - Variable cost - New fixed cost

Sales                           188,000,000

Less: Variable cost      88,000,000

Less: New fixed cost   45,000,000

Net Income                  55,000,000

8. Option b. Supporting the proposal due to its potential to boost operational income.

Free_Kalibri [3484]

Question not complete

Direct Labour Cost is missing

Direct Labor Cost ----- $50,000.00 $270,000.00

Answer:

a.

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $5.5 per machine hour = $5.5 per machine hour

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = $12.2 per labour hour

b. Total Manufacturing Cost = $644

c. Yes

Explanation:

a. To determine the predetermined overhead rate appropriate for each department.

Given

Cutting Department

The Cutting Department calculates its rate based on machine-hours

Manufacturing Overhead Costs = $264,000

Machine Hours = 48,000

Finishing Department

For the Finishing Department, the rate is calculated based on direct labor-hours.

Manufacturing Overhead Costs = $366,000

Direct Labour Cost = $270,000

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = Manufacturing Overhead Cost/Machine Hours

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $264,000/48,000

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $5.5 per machine hour

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = Manufacturing Overhead Cost/Machine Hours

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = $366,000/$270,000

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = 1.36

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = 136% direct labour cost

b.

The Cutting Department's rate is based on machine-hours

Given

Machine hours = 80 machine hours

Overhead Rate = $5.5 per machine hours ------ This was calculated

The Finishing Department's calculations rely on direct labor-hours.

Given

Direct Labour Cost = 150

Overhead Rate = 136% of labor cost ------ This was deduced

Overhead Applied (Cutting Department) = 80 * 5.5

Overhead Applied = 440

Overhead Applied (Finishing Department) = 136% * 150

Overhead Applied = $204

Total Overhead Applied = $440 + $204

Total = $644

c. Yes

If the business utilizes a company-wide overhead rate linked to direct labor cost and if jobs have increased machine hours paired with lower labor costs, they would incur less overhead expenses.

Scilla [3549]

Answer:

Firstly, emotional distress often results in speeding; in those "heated moments," individuals may drive faster than usual in an attempt to flee from or overlook their problems.

Secondly, aggression can manifest in driving behaviors when upset, leading to reacting harshly towards others who may disrupt your driving, such as by cutting you off or not signaling.

Lastly, stress can impede your ability to see clearly. Emotions play a significant role in daily life, and it's essential to calm down before making driving decisions during such heated instances.

Consulting life (10 points) Mt. Kinley is a strategy consulting firm that divides its consultants into three classes: associates
soldi70 [3439]

Answer:

A. 50

B. 4%

Explanation:

To determine the number of new MBA graduates that Mt. Kinley must recruit annually, we calculate the flow rate of associates by dividing the average number of associates by the flow time for associates.

Requirement A:

Flow rate of associates = Average inventory of associates / Flow time of associates

Flow rate of associates = 200/4

Flow rate of associates = 50

Thus, the company needs to hire 50 new MBAs each year.

Requirement B

The likelihood of an associate advancing to partner is 20% x 20%

This results in a probability of 4% for an associate to become a partner

Therefore, the probability that a new employee at Mt. Kinley will be promoted to partner stands at 4%

Working

The manager flow rate equals the average inventory of managers divided by their flow time

The flow rate of managers = 60/6

The flow rate for managers totals 10 per year

For partners, the flow rate is calculated as the average inventory of partners divided by their flow time

The flow rate of partners = 20/10

This results in 2 partners per year

The probability of an associate becoming a manager is given by 10/50

yielding a probability of 20%

The chances of progressing to partner stands at 2/10

indicating a 20% chance of becoming a partner
