Which of the following comparisons best isolates the impact of a change in activity on performance?

static planning budget and flexible budget

Todco planned to produce 3,000 units of its single product, Teragram, during November. The standard specifications for one unitof Teragram include six pounds of material at $0.30 per pound. Actual production in November was 3,100 units of Teragram. Theaccountant computed a favorable materials purchase price variance of $380 and an unfavorable materials quantity variance of $120.Based on these variances, one could conclude that

the actual cost of materials was less than the standard cost

When there is a production constraint, a company should emphasize the products with

the highest contribution margin per unit of the constrained resource

A labor efficiency variance resulting from the use of poor quality materials should be charged to

the purchasing agent

The purpose of a flexible budget is to

update the static planning budget to reflect the actual level of activity of the period

a. ROI = Net operating income÷Average operating assets = $1,054,100÷$5,000,000 =21.1% b. Residual income = Net operating income - Average operating assets×Minimum requiredrate of return = $1,054,100 - $5,000,000×16% = $1,054,100 - $800,000 = $254,100

Durkee Corporation keeps careful track of the time required to fill orders. The timesrequired for a particular order appear below: Required:a. Determine the throughput time. Show your work! b. Determine the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE). Show your work!c. Determine the delivery cycle time. Show your work!

a. Throughput time= Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time= 0.9 hours + 0.4 hours + 2.3 hours + 4.5 hours= 8.1 hours b. MCE = Value-added time/Throughput time= 0.9 hours÷8.1 hours = 0.11 c. Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time= 10.7 hours + 8.1 hours = 18.8 hours

During the most recent month at Coggan Corporation, queue time was 5.3 days,inspection time was 0.5 day, process time was 1.9 days, wait time was 4.5 days, and movetime was 0.5 day.Required: a. Compute the throughput time. b. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE). c. What percentage of the production time is spent in non-value-added activities? d. Compute the delivery cycle time

a. Throughput time= Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time= 1.9 days + 0.5 days + 0.5 days + 5.3 days = 8.2 days b. MCE = Value-added time (Process time)÷Throughput time= 1.9 days÷8.2 days = 0.23c. Percentage of time spent on non-value-added activities= 100% - MCE% = 100% - 23% = 77%d. Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time= 4.5 days + 8.2 days = 12.7 days

Jaster Corporation's management keeps track of the time it takes to process orders. Duringthe most recent month, the following average times were recorded per order: Required:a. Compute the throughput time. b. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE).c. What percentage of the production time is spent in non-value-added activities?d. Compute the delivery cycle time.

a. Throughput time= Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time= 2.6 days + 0.2 days + 0.6 days + 3.2 days = 6.6 days b. MCE = Value-added time (Process time)÷Throughput time= 2.6 days÷6.6 days = 0.39 c. Percentage of time spent on non-value-added activities= 100% - MCE% = 100% - 39% = 61%d. Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time= 10.6 days + 6.6 days = 17.2 days

The general model for calculating a price variance is

actual quantity of inputs×(actual price - standard price).

Beilke Corporation processes sugar beets in batches that it purchases from farmers for $53a batch. A batch of sugar beets costs $12 to crush in the company's plant. Two intermediate products, beet fiber and beet juice, emerge from the crushing process. The beet fiber can besold as is for $20 or processed further for $10 to make the end product industrial fiber that issold for $26. The beet juice can be sold as is for $30 or processed further for $29 to make theend product refined sugar that is sold for $79. Which of the intermediate products should be processed further

beet fiber should NOT be processed into industrial fiber; beet juice should be processedinto refined sugar

The purpose of the Data Processing Department of Falena Corporation is to assist thevarious departments of the corporation with their information needs free of charge. The Data Processing Department would best be evaluated as a

cost center

A study has been conducted to determine if Product A should be dropped. Sales of the product total $200,000 per year; variable expenses total $140,000 per year. Fixed expensescharged to the product total $90,000 per year. The company estimates that $40,000 of thesefixed expenses will continue even if the product is dropped. These data indicate that if Product A is dropped, the company's overall net operating income would

decrease by $10,000 per year

Lusk Company produces and sells 15,000 units of Product A each month. The selling price of Product A is $20 per unit, and variable expenses are $14 per unit. A study has beenmade concerning whether Product A should be discontinued. The study shows that $70,000 of the $100,000 in fixed expenses charged to Product A would continue even if the product wasdiscontinued. These data indicate that if Product A is discontinued, the company's overall netoperating income would

decrease by $60,000 per month

Residual income is a better measure for performance evaluation of an investment center manager than return on investment because

desirable investment decisions will not be rejected by divisions that already have a high ROI.

A general rule in relevant cost analysis is

differential future costs and revenues are always relevant

A static budget:

is valid for only one level of activity

The opportunity cost of making a component part in a factory with no excess capacity is the

net benefit foregone from the best alternative use of the capacity required
