A computer operator at the local data processing center decides to visit work on a Monday evening. She has a key to the outside door, and since there is no key required for the computer room, she simply walks into the computer room. The operator, who is really one of the nation’s most notorious computer programmer/hackers (having been convicted five time for manipulating various firms’ data files), opens the documentation bookcase, located in the corner of the computer room. In the bookcase she finds the procedural documentation, the systems documentation, user manuals, application documentation, and operator manuals. She examines the documentation to understand the payroll program and to find the location of the payroll files. She accesses the information systems library, which is available to all computer operators at all times, accesses the payroll program, reprograms it, and runs a payroll job that creates one electronic funds transfer (to a new account opened by the operator under an assumed name). On Tuesday, the operator transfers the funds to a Swiss bank account and does not show up for work.

Suppose the depreciation rate of capital decreased at time t* permanently. How would this affect real wage rate, real rental rate, real interest rate and price level in long run and very-long run in a closed market economy?

A: The Bustillo Corporation is preparing its Manufacturing Overhead budget for the fourth quarter of the year. The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead is $4 per direct labor-hour; the budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $84,000 per month, of which $15,900 is factory depreciation. If the budgeted direct labor time for November is 7,900 hours, then the total budgeted manufacturing overhead for November is? $115,600 / $99,700 / $131,500 / $84,000

B: Bustillo Inc. cost formula for its vehicle operating cost is $2,920 per month plus $322 per snow-day. For the month of December, the company planned for activity of 16 snow-days, but the actual level of activity was 14 snow-days. The actual vehicle operating cost for the month was $8,350. The spending variance for vehicle operating cost in December would be closest to? $278 U / $278 F / $922 U / $922 F

C: Bustillo Inc. uses two measures of activity, flights and passengers, in the cost formulas in its budgets and performance reports. The cost formula for plane operating costs is $56,760 per month plus $2,626 per flight plus $9 per passenger. The company expected its activity in February to be 63 flights and 262 passengers, but the actual activity was 62 flights and 263 passengers. The actual cost for plane operating costs in February was $220,700. The plane operating costs in the planning budget for February would be closest to? $224,556 / $223,326 / $221,939 / $220,700

C2: A total of 6,850 kilograms of a raw material was purchased at a total cost of $21,920. The materials price variance was $1,370 favorable. The standard price per kilogram for the raw material must be? $0.20 / $3.00 / $3.20 / $3.40

D: Bustillo Corporation makes a product with the following standard costs:

In January the company produced 3,320 units using 13,280 pounds of the direct material and 2,776 direct labor-hours. During the month, the company purchased 16,900 pounds of the direct material at a cost of $14,040. The actual direct labor cost was $57,895 and the actual variable overhead cost was $25,260. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The labor rate variance for January is? $401 F / $401 U / $2,119 U / $2,119 F

E: Last year, Bustillo's division had total sales of $13,420,000, net operating income of $1,261,480, and average operating assets of $2,684,000. The company's minimum required rate of return is 15%. The division's margin is closest to? 9.4% / 47.0% / 62.7% / 20.0%

PA4-2 Assigning Costs Using Traditional System, Assigning Costs Using Activity Proportions [LO 4-1, 4-3, 4-5, 4-6]

Carlise Corp., which manufactures ceiling fans, currently has two product lines, the Indoor and the Outdoor. Carlise has total overhead of $133,810.

Carlise has identified the following information about its overhead activity cost pools and the two product lines:

Required:
1. Suppose Carlise used a traditional costing system with machine hours as the cost driver. Determine the amount of overhead assigned to each product line. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)



2. Calculate the activity proportions for each cost pool in Carlise's ABC system. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

  

3. Calculate the amount of overhead that Carlise will assign to the Indoor line if it uses an ABC system. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)



4. Determine the amount of overhead Carlise will assign to the Outdoor line if it uses an ABC system. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

  

5. Compare the results for a traditional system with an ABC system. Which do you think is more accurate?
