Anna Wright is considering opening a Kwik Oil Change Center. She estimates the following monthly costs: rent $6,000; depreciation on equipment $7,000; and wages $16,400. Additionally, each oil change will include five quarts of oil at $1.80 per quart and one oil filter that will cost $3.00. She must also pay The Kwik Corporation a franchise fee of $1.40 per oil change. In addition, she has collected the following data from the company regarding utility costs. The total utility cost is based on the number of monthly oil changes.

Month Number of Oil Changes Utility Cost
April 4,000 $6,000
May 6,000 $7,300
June 9,000 $9,600
July 12,000 $12,600
August 19,000 $15,000

What is the variable cost per oil change?

A condensed income statement for the Electronics Division of Gihbli Industries Inc. for the year ended...

A condensed income statement for the Electronics Division of Gihbli Industries Inc. for the year ended December 31, 20Y9, is as follows:

Sales $3,480,000
Cost of goods sold 2,248,000
Gross profit $ 1,232,000
Operating expenses 710,000
Income from operations $ 522,000
Invested assets $2,900,000

Assume that the Electronics Division received no charges from service departments.

The president of Gihbli Industries Inc. has indicated that the division’s return on a $2,900,000 investment must be increased to at least 22.5% by the end of the next year if operations are to continue. The division manager is considering the following three proposals:

Proposal 1: Transfer equipment with a book value of $580,000 to other divisions at no gain or loss and lease similar equipment. The annual lease payments would be less than the amount of depreciation expense on the old equipment by $104,400. This decrease in expense would be included as part of the cost of goods sold. Sales would remain unchanged.

Proposal 2: Reduce invested assets by discontinuing a product line. This action would eliminate sales of $616,300, reduce cost of goods sold by $411,800, and reduce operating expenses by $181,300. Assets of $1,468,300 would be transferred to other divisions at no gain or loss.

Proposal 3: Purchase new and more efficient machinery and thereby reduce the cost of goods sold by $382,800 after considering the effects of depreciation expense on the new equipment. Sales would remain unchanged, and the old machinery, which has no remaining book value, would be scrapped at no gain or loss. The new machinery would increase invested assets by $1,450,000 for the year.

Required:

1. Using the DuPont formula for return on investment, determine the profit margin, investment turnover, and rate of return on investment for the Electronics Division for the past year. Round your answers to one decimal place.

2. Prepare condensed estimated income statements and compute the invested assets for each proposal.

5. If the Electronics Division were in an industry where the profit margin could not be increased, how much would the investment turnover have to increase to meet the president's required 22.5% rate of return on investment? Enter your increase in investment turnover answer as a percentage of current investment turnover. If required, round your answer to one decimal place.

West Texas Chemical Company manufactures a product called Kylon, which requires three raw materials. Production is in batches of 1,000 gallons of finished product. The firm uses standard costs as a control device. Its standard costs for materials for each batch of Kylon have been established as follows:

Material Quantity Standard Cost per Gallon Standard Cost per Batch
Starter 700 gal. $ 1.80 $ 1,260.00
Acid 230 gal. 5.00 1,150.00
Activator 70 gal. 7.00 490.00
Total standard cost 1,000 gal. $ 2,900.00


The output is packaged in 50-gallon drums. During the month of June 2019, 200 drums of Kylon were produced. There was no beginning or ending inventory of work in process. The materials actually used during June are listed below:

Material Quantity Cost per Gallon
Starter 7,070 gal. $ 1.60
Acid 2,350 gal. 5.50
Activator 490 gal. 9.10
