The Skulls, a student social organization, has two different locations under consideration for constructing a new chapter house. The Skulls' president, a POM student, estimates that due to differing land costs, utility rates, etc., both fixed and variable costs would be different for each of the proposed sites, as follows LocationAnnual FixedVariableAlpha Ave.$5,000 $200per personBeta Blvd.$8,000 $150per person If it is estimated that 30 persons will be living in this new chapter house, which location should the Skulls select

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The Skulls

The location that Skulls should select is:

Alpha Avenue.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated number of persons living in this new chapter house = 30

                    Fixed       Variable                   Total Cost

Alpha Ave. $5,000       $200 per person     $11,000

Beta Blvd.  $8,000        $150 per person    $12,500

b) The location that Skulls should select must minimize the total cost.  The location which meets this criterion is Alpha Avenue, with a total cost of $11,000.  This is purely because of the number of persons living in the chapter house.  Assuming that this number would increase, then it may be considered economically better to choose the Beta Boulevard instead of the Alpha Avenue.

Cullumber Company purchases land for $185000 cash. Cullumber assumes $5200 in property taxes due on the land. The title and attorney fees totaled $3100. Cullumber has the land graded for $4100. They paid $25000 for paving of a parking lot. What amount does Cullumber record as the cost for the land?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is

$197,400.

Explanation:

The cost of acquisition of an asset (land) is the non-depreciable costs associated with the acquisition of the land, because land is considered as an asset that does not depreciate. The costs that make up the cost of acquiring a land includes the normal, reasonable and necessary expenditures associated with the land to obtain it and get it ready for use. These include the agreed upon cash price, repair and reconditioning costs, title fees, legal fees, zoning fees and survey fees. On the there are costs of improvements made on the land and this is not part of acquisition costs because these improvements depreciate with time, and they are recorded in the cost of improvement account which takes depreciation into consideration. Example of these costs include parking lots, irrigation systems etc.

Hence in this case, all the expenditures except the cost of paving a parking lot are recorded as cost of acquisition of the land, and these include:

cost of purchase         = $185,000

property taxes             = $    5,200

title and attorney fees = $    3,100

cost of grading             = $    4,100

Total                              = $197,400

Which of the following illustrates economies of scale , diseconomies of scale , and constant returns to scale ?Liza's average total cost changes from $4.50 to $2.20 when she increases salad production from 7 to 9 an hour. Sam's average total cost changes from $1.30 to $2.80 when he increases smoothie production from 5 to 8 gallons an hour. Tina's average total cost remains at $3 when she increases pizza production from 12 to 13 an hour.

a. Sam faces economies of scale; Liza faces diseconomies of scale; Tina faces constant returns to scale.
b. Sam faces economies of scale; Tina faces diseconomies of scale; Liza faces constant returns to scale.
c. Tina faces economies of scale; Sam faces diseconomies of scale; Liza faces constant returns to scale.
d. Liza faces economies of scale; Sam faces diseconomies of scale; Tina faces constant returns to scal

Answers

Answer: d. Liza faces economies of scale; Sam faces diseconomies of scale; Tina faces constant returns to scale

Explanation:

Economies of scale occurs when the increase in production by companies brings about a reduction in cost. Diseconomies of scale is when a rise in production leads to an increase in cost as well. For a constant return to scale, the cost remains the same.

Therefore, the answer will be option D "Liza faces economies of scale; Sam faces diseconomies of scale; Tina faces constant returns to scale".

Melinda invests $200,000 in a City of Heflin bond that pays 6 percent interest. Alternatively, Melinda could have invested the $200,000 in a bond recently issued by Surething Inc., that pays 8 percent interest and has risk and other nontax characteristics similar to the City of Heflin bond. Assume Melinda’s marginal tax rate is 25 percent. (Leave no cells blank - be sure to enter "0" wherever required.)Required:

What is her after-tax rate of return for the City of Heflin bond?
How much explicit tax does Melinda pay on the City of Heflin bond?
How much implicit tax does she pay on the City of Heflin bond?
How much explicit tax would she have paid on the Surething Inc. bond?
What is her after-tax rate of return on the Surething Inc. bond?

Answers

Answer:

What is her after-tax rate of return for the City of Heflin bond?

  • Melinda's after tax rate of return for the City of Heflin bonds = $200,000 x 6% = $12,000. Interest revenue from city bonds is not taxed.

How much explicit tax does Melinda pay on the City of Heflin bond?

  • $0

How much implicit tax does she pay on the City of Heflin bond?

  • $4,000. The tax difference between the yields of the city bond vs Surething bond.

How much explicit tax would she have paid on the Surething Inc. bond?

  • ($200,000 x 8%) x 25% = $4,000

What is her after-tax rate of return on the Surething Inc. bond?

  • ($16,000 - $4,000) / $200,000 = $12,000 / $200,000 = 6%

Anner Manufacturing is developing an activity-based costing system to improve overhead cost allocation. One of the first steps in developing the system is to classify the costs of performing production activities into activity cost pools. Classify the cost of each activity in the following list into unit-, batch-, product-, or facility-level cost pools:

1. Labelling and packaging
2. Plant Security
3. Sales commission
4. Supplies

Answers

Answer:

When you collect all the costs related to performing a particular activity (e.g. producing a product), you have created an activity cost pool. This helps to get an accurate estimate of the cost of that activity or task and is mostly applied in activity-based costing system. Different activities may require different cost pools.

The activities below are thus classified accordingly:

1. Labelling and Packaging - Batch Cost Pool

2. Plant Security - Facility Level Cost Pool

3. Sales Commission - Product Cost Pool. (This is incurred in selling the product and so must be pre-built into the price of the product.

4. Supplies - Unit Level Cost Pool (Supplies are incidental items that are expected to be consumed in the near future. Examples are paper clips that you use in the daily workings of the business. Supplies are differ from Materials which refer to the raw stock from which finished goods are made. Examples of material are raw materials, components, sub-components, and production supplies. Materials would go under Product Cost Pool.
