Behavioral Considerations and Budgeting Anthony Wagner, the controller in the Division of Transportation for the state, recognizes the im ance of the budgetary process for planning, control, and motivation purposes. He believes that properly implemented participative budgeting process for planning purposes and a management by exception reporting procedure based on that budget will motivate his subordinates to improve productivity within their particular departments. Based on this philosophy, Wagner has implemented the following budget procedures:
An appropriation target figure is given to each department manager. This amount is the maximum funding that each department can expect to receive in the next fiscal year Department managers develop their individual budgets within the following spending constraint as directed by the controller's staff:
1. Expenditure requests cannot exceed the appropriation target
2. All fixed expenditures should be included in the budget: these should include items such . . as contracts and salaries at current levels
3. All government projects directed by higher authority should be included in the budget in their entirety. The controller consolidates the departmental budget requests from the various departments into one budget that is to be submitted for the entire division. Upon final budget approval by the legislature, the controller's staff allocates the appropriation to the various departments on instructions from the division manager. However, a specified percentage of each department's appropriation is held back in anticipation of potential budget cuts and special funding needs. The amount and use of this contingency fund are left to the discretion of the division manager Each department is allowed to adjust its budget when necessary to appropriation level. However, as stated in the original directive, specific projects authorized b higher authority must remain intact. The final budget is used as the basis of control for a management by exception form of reporting. Excessive expenditures by account for each department are highlighted on a monthly basis. Department managers are expected to account for all expenditures over budget. Fiscal responsibility is an important factor in the overall performance evaluation of department managers .Each department is allowed to adjust its budget when necessary to operate within the reduced · Wagner believes that his policy of allowing the department managers to participate in the budget process and then holding them accountable for their performance is essential, e these times of limited resources.
Answer:
Deficiencies in Wagner's Participative Budgeting Policy
1. Fixed costs are not controllable by managers. This defeats, to a large extent, the idea of participative budgeting policy by Wagner as his departmental managers' performances are evaluated based on goals they have not set for themselves.
2. Wagner's participative budgetary policy allows him to revise some approved budgets arbitrarily without seeking the participation of divisional managers in the revision. This negatives the principle of participation.
Explanation:
An effective participating budgeting process ensures the utilization of specialist knowledge of the participants who are close to the daily operations of their departments. An effective process ensures the setting of more realistic and acceptable goals. A good participative budgetary policy wins managers' commitment, improves communication and accountability, and ensures group cohesiveness.

At the fourth and final resource, one operator handles the product. No quality problems exist at this step and the processing time is 12 minutes per unit. For every unit of demand, how many units have to flow through the second step in the process
Answer:
2.25 units.
Explanation:
Processing time is 5 minutes per unit for step 1. The total capacity is 60 minutes then no. of units produced can be;
60 / 5 = 12 units per hour.
For second step processing time is 4 minutes per unit. There is 0.85 unit of product is scrapped. Then no. of units produced per hour can be ;
60 / 4 = 15 units per hour.
After scrap the net product units per hour will be;
15 units * [1 - 0.85] = 2.25 units per hour.
Do you think Hollywood and record companies have a right to alter or mandate changes to audio/video technology including TV's, TIVO, gaming consoles, DVR's, PC's, phones and IPODS, in order to insure or enforce copyright law?
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
I think Hollywood and record companies have a right to mandate changes in order to insure or enforce copyright law.
This is because Copyright law sets out to protect ownership of an original creative work by preventing unauthorized usage of the work. The creative work can be in the form of ideas, artwork, book or other forms of media. hence Hollywood and record companies have a right to enforce copyright laws by mandating changes to audio or video technology .
We are given the following information for the Pettit Corporation.
Sales (credit) $3,549,000
Cash 179,000
Inventory 911,000
Current liabilities 788,000
Asset turnover 1.40 times
Current ratio 2.95 times
Debt-to-assets ratio 40%
Receivables turnover 7 times
Current assets are composed of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and inventory.
Calculate the following balance sheet items:
a. Accounts receivable.
b. Marketable securities.
c. Fixed assets.
d. Long-term debt.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. Accounts receivables
= Sales / Receivables turnover
= $3,549,000 / 7x
= $507,000
b. Marketable securities
= Current assets - (Cash + Accounts receivable + Inventory)
Where;
Current asset = Current ratio × Current liabilities
Current asset = 2.95 × $788,000
Current asset = $2,348,240
Hence,
Marketable securities
= $2,348,240 - ($179,000 + $507,000 + $911,000)
= $2,348,240 - $1,597,000
= $751,240
c. Fixed assets
Total assets = Current assets + Fixed assets
$2,535,000 = $2,348,240 + Fixed assets
Fixed assets = $2,535,000 - $2,348,240
Fixed assets = $186,760
d. Long term debt
= Total debt - Current liabilities
Where,
Total debt = Debt to assets × Total assets
= 40% × ($3,549,000 / 1.40)
= 40% × $2,535,000
= $1,014,000
Hence,
Long term debt
= $1,014,000 - $788,000
= $226,000

Zigzag Manufacturing has just hired a new controller, Leslie Demorest. During her first week on the job, Leslie was asked to establish a budget for operating expenses in 2019. Since Leslie was not yet familiar with the operations of Zigzag Manufacturing, she decided to budget these expenses using the same procedures as the prior controller. Therefore, in order to establish a budget for operating expenses, Leslie started with actual operating expenses incurred in 2018 and added 3.8%. Leslie based this percentage on inflation as measured by the consumer price index.
Required: Comment on the effectiveness of Leslie’s budgeting strategy.
Answer:
Zigzag Manufacturing
The Effectiveness of Leslie Demorest's Budgeting Strategy
The strategy of adjusting the previous year's operating expenses with inflation is not an effective way of strategic budget planning. Leslie's budgeting strategy does not take advantage of forecasts of unexpectedly good performance and fails to provide any reaction that can occur when there are downturns in cash flow.
An effective budgeting strategy should provide the standard for the effective use of financial resources of Zigzag Manufacturing in its business operations. There are no clear goals to be achieved and an evaluation of how the goals will be achieved through the budget implementation.
Explanation:
An effective budget should be able to forecast and track revenues and expenses, which are received and incurred in pursuit of business goals and projections. An effective budget ensures that those who implement the projections contained in the budget remain motivated. The idea of adjusting previous expenses with inflation is not an effective budgeting strategy.

Explanation:
Morrison Company manufactures two products: digital cameras and video cameras. The company uses an activity-based costing system. The annual production and sales volume of digital cameras is 10,000 units and of video cameras is 8,000 units. Direct costs for the digital cameras are $122; for the video cameras, direct costs are $153.
For overhead costs, there are three activity cost pools with the following expected activities and estimated total costs:
Activity Cost Pool Estimated Cost Expected Activity Digital Cameras Expected Activity Video Cameras Total
Activity 1$30,000 100 500 600
Activity 2 $45,000 600 300 900
Activity 3 $96,600 400 2,000 2,400
Refer to Morrison Company. Using ABC, the total cost per digital camera is approximately:
Please show calculations!
Answer:
"$127.11 per unit" is the correct approach.
Explanation:
The activity cost as per the questions will be:
Activity 1:
= [tex]\frac{30,000}{600}[/tex]
= [tex]50[/tex] ($)
Activity 2:
= [tex]\frac{45000}{900}[/tex]
= [tex]50[/tex] ($)
Activity 3:
= [tex]\frac{96600}{2400}[/tex]
= [tex]40.25[/tex] ($)
Now,
The overhead cost for digital cameras will be:
= [tex](50\times 100)+(50\times 600)+(40.25\times 400)[/tex]
= [tex]5000+30000+16.100[/tex]
= [tex]51100[/tex] ($)
Per unit overhead cost will be:
= [tex]\frac{51100}{10000}[/tex]
= [tex]5.11[/tex] ($)
hence,
The total cost will be:
= [tex]Direct \ costs+Indirect \ costs[/tex]
= [tex]122+5.11[/tex]
= [tex]127.11 \ per \ unit[/tex] ($)

ABC Company's production budget for October is based on 500 units. Standard unit cost for raw materials is $130 per unit ($10 per pound x 13 pounds per unit).
ABC's actual production in October= = 525 units.
The actual cost of materials used = $69,300 ($11 per pound x 12 pounds per unit).
Required:
a. Calculate the raw materials price variance for October. Is it favorable or unfavorable?
b. Calculate the raw materials usage variance for October. Is it favorable or unfavorable?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. Raw material price variance is
= (standard price - actual price) × actual quantity
= ($10 - $11) × ($69,300 ÷ $11)
= ($10 - $11) × 6,300
= $6,300 unfavorable
b. The raw material usage variance is
= (Standard quantity - actual quantity) × standard price
= (525 × 13 - 6,300) × $10
= $5,250 favorable
In this way it should be calculated

Which competitive strategy best utilizes Country Comfort's core competencies (which include a large and efficient network of obtaining and processing quality coffee beans)
Answer:
I don't know the answer to this
Problems and Applications Q6 The price of coffee fell sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations: Sean: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic. Yvette: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic. Bob: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time. Cho: Supply increased, but demand was perfectly inelastic. Eric: Supply increased, but demand was unit elastic. Who could possibly be right
Answer:
YvetteBobChoExplanation:
Yvette was right because a perfectly inelastic supply means that the supply remains the same regardless of the price. With the supply remaining the same even though prices fell, enough people still bought regardless of the decrease in price that the quantity sold remained the same.
Bob was also right because the scenario painted is similar to the above. The supply increased when demand decreased which meant that even though there were less people demanding, there was more coffee being supplied such that quantity remained the same.
Cho was also correct because a perfectly inelastic demand means that the demand does not change in response to a change in price. With coffee being perfectly inelastic, people will buy the same quantity regardless so quantity sold remained the same.

Bedard Corporation reported net income of $445,050 in 2020 and had 198,000 shares of common stock outstanding throughout the year. Also outstanding all year were 45,000 options to purchase common stock at $12 per share. The average market price of the stock during the year was $15.
Required:
Compute diluted earnings per share.
Answer:
$2.35
Explanation:
Convertible option = Total options available - [Total options available*Purchase price per share / Average market price per share]
Convertible option = 45,000 - [45,000*12/15]
Convertible option = 45,000 - 36,000
Convertible option = 9,000 shares
Weighted average number of shares = Common stock outstanding - Convertible option
Weighted average number of shares = 198,000 - 9,000
Weighted average number of shares = 189,000
Diluted earnings per share = Net income attributable to common stockholders / Weighted average number of shares
Diluted earnings per share = $445,050 / 189,000 shares
Diluted earnings per share = $2.354761905
Diluted earnings per share = $2.35

Cost of townhome = 335k
APR ( I ) = 6%
percentage of cost of townhome borrowed = 95%
Down payment of cost of townhome = 5%
maturity period = 30 years = 360 months
Determine time line that depicts cash flows
First step : calculate value of loan
value of loan = ( 95% )* (335,000) = $318,250
final step : calculate value of monthly payments
Applying TVM calculation

When Simple Semiconductors was operating at the minimum efficient scale of 10,000–12,000 units per month, the firm's cost per unit was $45. However, when the output level was increased beyond 12,000 units, the cost per unit increased to $47. This increase was attributed to the wear-and-tear of the machinery, and complexities of managing and coordinating. What is this phenomenon known as?
a) minimum efficient scale
b) diseconomies of scale
c) experience curve effect
d) learning-curve effect
Answer:
b
Explanation:
Diseconomies of scale is when a firm increases its output and cost per unit increases. This occurs when a firm produces beyond its minimum efficient scale
The minimum efficient scale is the lowest point on the cost curve where a firm can produce its output at the lowest cost
Diseconomies of scale is the opposite of economies of scale. Economies of scale is when as output is increases, cost per output falls.
State and explain elements of organizational structure?
Answer:
Explanation:
Organizational structure could be explained as a connected workflow through which an organization is strategically setup to operate.
Five elements create an organizational structure: job design, departmentation, delegation, span of control and chain of command
Job design : This element allows the definition of individual job role, the demands of each job position, duties, responsibilities and the key performance indicators.
Departmentation : Here, individual job roles which seems similar and have similar requirement are grouped into a certain defined category called department. Deparmentation may be ascribed based on task, job role, task force and so on.
Delegation : This involves process handling and management, each process and logical department has to be headed by a defined individual or group of persons.
Span of control : Definitions control and authority such that delegates know their limits and when to initiate their organizational power.

When 30-year-old Lindsay was in a coma for 3 months, her friend Corey had the legal authority to handle her personal, financial, and medical affairs. Why did Corey have the legal right to do this? A. Corey was her life insurance agent. B. She had chosen Corey as her executor. C. Corey was named as her guardian. D. Corey had designated power of attorney.
Answer:
The correct answer is C. Corey was named as her guardian.
Explanation:
A legal guardian is a person appointed by a guardianship authority or a district court to represent a principal in matters where he or she is unable to control his or her own interests or manage his or her affairs himself or herself for other reasons, usually health. A legal guardian cannot act as such in matters where he or she and the principal could have a conflict of interest. Thus, in short, the guardian has the power to make decisions by and for the principal, without requiring the consent of the principal, who consents to his actions by means of a prior mandate.
Lang Warehouses borrowed $178,960 from a bank and signed a note requiring 8 annual payments of $28,819 beginning one year from the date of the agreement. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: Determine the interest rate implicit in this agreement. (
Answer: 6%
Explanation:
The annual payments can be considered to be annuity payments as they are constant. The amount borrowed can be considered the present value of the annuity.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8 years, %?
178,960 = 28,819 * Annuity factor
Annuity factor = 178,960 / 28,819
= 6.20979
To find out the interest rate, look at the Present Value of Annuity table and go to the 8 period column. Look for 6.20979. The interest rate that intersects with this factor is the interest rate implicit in this agreement.
That rate is 6%.

actor Co. can produce a unit of product for the following costs: Direct material $ 8.60 Direct labor 24.60 Overhead 43.00 Total product cost per unit $ 76.20 An outside supplier offers to provide Factor with all the units it needs at $48.40 per unit. If Factor buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 60% of its overhead. Factor should choose to:
Answer:
Relevant cost to make = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead
Relevant cost to make = $8.60 + $24.60 + $43.00 (1-60%)
Relevant cost to make = $8.60 + $24.60 + $17.20
Relevant cost to make = $50.40
Outside supplier cost ($48.40) < Relevant cost to make ($50.40). So, Factor should choose to buy because the relevent cost is less than outside supplier cost.
