  1. Explain the difference between the market demand curve and the demand curve facing a perfectly competitive firm. Which is more elastic?
  2. Because of an increase in the wage rate that it must pay its workers, a perfectly competitive firm’s marginal costs increase so that its marginal cost curve shifts upward. If the price of the product does not change and the firm does not shut down, in a diagram show the impact the higher wage rate has on the quantity the firm produces.
  3. Draw a diagram showing the long-run equilibrium for a perfectly competitive firm. Is it possible for a perfectly competitive firm to earn an economic profit in the long run? Explain your answer.

Answer the following multiple choice questions.

  1. If firms in a perfectly competitive industry are incurring persistent economic losses, then in the long run some firms will
    1. exit and the price will fall.
    2. exit and the price will rise.
    3. enter and the price may either rise or fall.
    4. exit and the price may either rise or fall.
    1. A perfectly competitive firm’s supply curve is the same as
      1. all of its marginal cost curve.
      2. its marginal cost curve above the minimum point on the AVC curve.
      3. its marginal cost curve above the minimum point on the ATC curve.
      4. its marginal cost curve above the AFC curve.

Ellie Mosk, CEO of X-Space Industries, decided to expand the company’s product offering beyond the core model rocket business. After investigation, she decided to set up a separate division to design and manufacture products for the drone market. Several companies were interested in having X-Space develop these drones, and financial results, to date, have been encouraging. Revenue was $4 million, gross margins have been running about 40%, and the customer sales and support costs were $1 million. However, there is a growing concern that some customers require a disproportionate share of the sales and support resources, and the true profitability of the customers is unknown. Data were collected to support an analysis of customer profitability:

Activity Cost Driver Total Cost
Sales visits Sales visit days $ 489,000
Product modifications Number of modifications 273,000
Phone calls Number of minutes 93,300
E-mail/electronic communications Number of communications 175,000
$ 1,030,300
Customer Revenue Gross Profit Visit Days Modifications Phone Minutes Electronic Communications
A $ 403,000 $ 153,000 15 15 1,160 625
B 503,000 203,000 25 15 1,250 875
C 603,000 233,000 40 40 1,500 1,130
D 1,130,000 423,000 90 60 1,850 2,130
E 1,530,000 593,000 100 70 2,250 2,380
Totals $ 4,169,000 $ 1,605,000 270 200 8,010 7,140

Required:

1. Management felt the easiest way to allocate the sales and support costs was based on the total revenue. Using total revenue as the allocation base, determine the profitability of each of the five customers.

2. Management felt that because the data revealed some customers require a disproportionate share of sales and support resources, activity-based costing should be used to determine customer profitability. Use ABC to prepare a customer profitability analysis.

Problem 16-46 Solve for Master Budget Given Actual Results (LO 16-2, 4)

A new accounting intern at Gibson Corporation lost the only copy of this period's master budget. The CFO wants to evaluate performance for this period but needs the master budget to do so. Actual results for the period follow:  
  

Sales volume 130,000 units
Sales revenue $ 873,600
Variable costs
Manufacturing 192,192
Marketing and administrative 78,624
Contribution margin $ 602,784
Fixed costs
Manufacturing 251,200
Marketing and administrative 146,000
Operating profit $ 205,584

  

The company planned to produce and sell 110,500 units for $6.00 each. At that volume, the contribution margin would have been $464,100. Variable marketing and administrative costs are budgeted at 10 percent of sales revenue. Manufacturing fixed costs are estimated at $2.40 per unit at the normal volume of 110,500 units. Management notes, "We budget an operating profit of $1.00 per unit at the normal volume."

  

Required:

a. Construct the master budget for the period. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

You are hired to do some data analysis for a financial services company. There are three different Investment Plans that the company could offer to its customers. You are asked to find out if the expected revenue from marketing any one of these plans is different from the other plans. You survey 60 customers and this survey asks each customer to choose a plan they prefer and also involves other relevant questions that allow you to compute the expected revenues that the company can generate from each customer. Given the three different plans and the expected revenues, test whether each plan generates the same mean revenue. If the mean revenue generated is different depending on the marketed plan, which plan would be a better choice?
