Fabio Corporation is considering eliminating a department that has a contribution margin of $32,000 and $64,000 in fixed costs. Of the fixed costs, $16,000 cannot be avoided. The effect of eliminating this department on Fabio's overall net operating income would be:

a decrease of $32,000.

an increase of $32,000.

a decrease of $16,000.

an increase of $16,000.

The management of Fannin Corporation is considering dropping product H58S. Data from the company's accounting system appear below:

Sales	$950,000
Variable expenses	$396,000
Fixed manufacturing expenses	$378,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses	$258,000

In the company's accounting system all fixed expenses of the company are fully allocated to products. Further investigation has revealed that $249,000 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $210,000 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product H58S is discontinued. What would be the effect on the company's overall net operating income if product H58S were dropped?

Overall net operating income would decrease by $82,000.

Overall net operating income would increase by $82,000.

Overall net operating income would increase by $95,000.

Overall net operating income would decrease by $95,000.

Answer 1

Solution 17:

C. $ 5,082 U

Variable overhead efficiency variance for the month

= [(Standard hours-Actual hours) X Standard variable overhead rate]

= [(4.40 machine hours X 1,900 units – 8,800 machine hours) X $ 11.55]

= ($ 8,360 - $ 8,800) X $ 11.55

= - $ 440 X $ 11.55

= $ 5,082 (U) Answer

Solution 18:

Materials price variance for the month

= (Actual quantity purchased X Standard rate)- Actual cost

= (3,400 X $ 12) - $ 39,610

= -$ 40,800- $ 39,610

= $ 1,190 F (Answer)

Materials quantity variance for the month

= (Standard quantity allowed? Actual quantity used) × Standard rate

= (4.5 grams X 530 units -2,700 grams) X $ 12 per gram

= 2,385 grams -2,700 grams X $ 12 per gram

=- 315 grams X $ 12 per gram

= - $ 3,780 U (Answer)

Solution 19:

Variable overhead rate variance

=Actual hours worked X (Standard variable overhead rate- Actual variable overhead rate)

=9800 hours – ($ 13 per hour -$125,200 /9800 hours)

=9800 hours ($ 13 per hour-$ 12.77 per hour)

=9800 hours X $ 0.23

=$ 2,254 F (Answer)

Variable overhead efficiency variance

= (Actual hours worked × Standard rate) – (Standard hours allowed × Standard rate)

= (9,800 hours X $13.00 per hour) – (6.5 hours X 1500 units X $13.00 per hour)

=$ 127,400 – 126,750

=$ 650 F (Answer)

Solution 20

a.15.2%

Division's margin is closest to

= Net operating income / Average operating assets X 100

= $738,360 / $4,860,000 X 100

=15.19 rounded to 1 decimal

= 15.2 (Answer)
