The fixtures being used in the North Store would be transferred to the other two stores if the North Store were closed.

d.

The general manager of the North Store would be retained and transferred to another position in the company if the North Store were closed. She would be filling a position that would otherwise be filled by hiring a new employee at a salary of $20,600 per quarter. The general manager of the North Store would be retained at her normal salary of $21,600 per quarter. All other employees in the store would be discharged.

e.

The company has one delivery crew that serves all three stores. One delivery person could be discharged if the North Store were closed. This person’s salary is $22,000 per quarter. The delivery equipment would be distributed to the other stores. The equipment does not wear out through use, but does eventually become obsolete.

f. The company’s employment taxes are 15% of salaries.
g. One-third of the insurance in the North Store is on the store’s fixtures.
h.

The “General office salaries” and “General office—other” relate to the overall management of Superior Markets, Inc. If the North Store were closed, one person in the general office could be discharged because of the decrease in overall workload. This person’s compensation is $10,800 per quarter.


Required:
1.

Prepare a schedule showing the change in revenues and expenses and the impact on the company’s overall net operating income that would result if the North Store were closed. (Any losses/ reductions should be indicated by a minus sign.)

      

2.

Based on your computations in (1) above, what recommendation would you make to the management of Superior Markets, Inc.?

The North Store should be closed.
The North Store should not be closed.


3.

Assume that if the North Store were closed, at least one-fourth of its sales would transfer to the East Store, due to strong customer loyalty to Superior Markets. The East Store has enough capacity to handle the increased sales. You may assume that the increased sales in the East Store would yield the same gross margin as a percentage of sales as present sales in that store.


a.

Calculate the net advantage of closing the North Store. (Any reductions or outflows should be indicated by a minus sign.)

          

b. What recommendation would you make to the management of Superior Markets, Inc.?
The North Store should be closed.
The North Store should not be closed.

operating-income differences. Nascar Motors assembles and sells motor vehicles and uses standard costing. Actual data relating to April and May 2017 are as follows:

The selling price per vehicle is $24,000. The budgeted level of production used to calculate the budgeted fixed manufacturing cost per unit is 500 units. There are no price, efficiency, or spending variances. Any production-volume variance is written off to cost of goods sold in the month in which it occurs.
Required:
Prepare April and May 2017 income statements for Nascar Motors under (a) variable costing and (b) absorption costing.
17-24​Weighted-average method, equivalent units. The assembly division of Quality Time Pieces, Inc. uses the weighted-average method of process costing. Consider the following data for the month of May 2017:

$1,916,000
a Degree of completion: direct materials, 80%; conversion costs, 35%.
b Degree of completion: direct materials, 80%; conversion costs, 40%.
1. Required:
Compute equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.
17-25​ Weighted-average method, assigning costs (continuation of 17-24).
2. Required:
For the data in Exercise 17-24, summarize the total costs to account for, calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs, and assign costs to the units completed (and transferred out) and units in ending work in process.
17-26​FIFO method, equivalent units. Refer to the information in Exercise 17-24. Suppose the assembly division at Quality Time Pieces, Inc. uses the FIFO method of process costing instead of the weighted-average method.
3. Required:
Compute equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.
17-27​FIFO method, assigning costs (continuation of 17-26).
4. Required:
For the data in Exercise 17-24, use the FIFO method to summarize the total costs to account for, calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs, and assign costs to units completed (and transferred out) and to units in ending work in process.

Income Statements under Absorption Costing and Variable Costing

Joplin Industries Inc. manufactures and sells high-quality sporting goods equipment under its highly recognizable J-Sports logo. The company began operations on May 1 and operated at 100% of capacity (41,800 units) during the first month, creating an ending inventory of 3,800 units. During June, the company produced 38,000 garments during the month but sold 41,800 units at $95 per unit. The June manufacturing costs and selling and administrative expenses were as follows:

Number of Units Unit Cost Total
Cost
Manufacturing costs in June 1 beginning inventory:
Variable 3,800 $38.00 $144,400
Fixed 3,800 14.00 53,200
Total $52.00 $197,600
Manufacturing costs in June:
Variable 38,000 $38.00 $1,444,000
Fixed 38,000 15.40 585,200
Total $53.40 $2,029,200
Selling and administrative expenses in June:
Variable 41,800 18.20 $760,760
Fixed 41,800 7.00 292,600
Total 25.20 $1,053,360

a. Under absorption costing, the cost of goods manufactured includes direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead costs. Both fixed and variable factory costs are included as part of factory overhead.

b. Under variable costing, the cost of goods manufactured includes only variable manufacturing costs.

Learning Objective 1.

c. What is the reason for the difference in the amount of income from operations reported in (a) and (b)?

Under the absorption costing  method, the fixed manufacturing cost included in the cost of goods sold is matched with the revenues. Under variable costing , all of the fixed manufacturing cost is deducted in the period in which it is incurred, regardless of the amount of inventory change. Thus, when inventory decreases, the absorption costing  income statement will have a lower income from operations.

You sign up for a bungee jump off a tall bridge. A thick rope with a fixed length of 18.0 m is tied to the bridge, and a bungee cord with an unstretched length of 11.0 m is then connected to the rope. The other end of the bungee cord is attached to your legs.

You step off the bridge, falling from rest. The bungee cord does not start exerting any force on you until you have fallen a distance of 29.0 m (the sum of the rope's length and the unstretched length of the bungee cord). After that, it exerts an upward force on you that eventually brings you to rest, for an instant. Assume the bungee cord, when stretched, acts like an ideal spring, and take g = 10 N/kg, to make the calculations easier. Your mass is 50.0 kg.

You fall a total distance of 54.0 m before coming instantaneously to rest. Determine the spring constant of the bungee cord.
_______ N/m

Derek decides to buy a new car. The dealership offers him a choice of paying $576.00 per month for 5 years (with the first payment due next month) or paying some amount today. He can borrow money from his bank to buy the car. The bank requires a 6.00% interest rate. What is the most that he would be willing to pay today rather than making the payments?

A patient who has been taking ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel for contraception and in no apparent distress has an elevated blood pressure in need of antihypertensive therapy.

  • Which of the prototype drugs representing the JNC-8 first-line treatments for hypertension (i.e., CCBs, diuretics, ACEIs, and ARBs) have a potentially concerning drug-drug interaction with ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel?

  • What is the most concerning consequence of the observed anti-HTN drug interaction with ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel?
