Waterway Mars, a recent graduate of Bell’s accounting program, evaluated the operating performance of Dunn Company’s six divisions. Waterway made the following presentation to Dunn’s board of directors and suggested the Percy Division be eliminated. “If the Percy Division is eliminated,” she said, “our total profits would increase by $26,900.”
| The Other Five Divisions |
Percy Division |
Total | ||||||
| Sales | $1,665,000 | $100,600 | $1,765,600 | |||||
| Cost of goods sold | 978,700 | 77,000 | 1,055,700 | |||||

| Net income | $159,100 | $ (26,900 | ) | $132,200 |
In the Percy Division, cost of goods sold is $59,200 variable
and $17,800 fixed, and operating expenses are $31,600 variable and
$18,900 fixed. None of the Percy Division’s fixed costs will be
eliminated if the division is discontinued.
Is Waterway right about eliminating the Percy Division? Prepare a
schedule to support your answer. (Enter negative
amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45
or parentheses e.g. (45).)

The Superior Gardening Service provides gardening services to its clients. The company uses an activity-based costing system for its overhead costs. The company has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system.
Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity
Gardening $125,425 17,300 hours
Job support 28,134 1,775 jobs
Client support 4,530 280 clients
Other 150,000 Not applicable
Total $308,089
The "Other" activity cost pool consists of the costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs.
One particular client, the Gutierrez family, requested 24 jobs
during the year that required a total of 175 hours of gardening.
For this service, the client was charged $2,500.
Required:
a. Compute the activity rates for the activity cost pools. Round
off all calculations for the nearest 2 decimals.
b. Using the activity-based costing system, compute the customer
margin for the Gutierrez family. Round off all calculations to the
nearest 2 decimals.
c. Assume the company decides instead to use a traditional costing
system in which ALL costs are allocated to customers on the basis
of gardening hours. Compute the margin for the Gutierrez family.
Round off all calculations to the nearest 2 decimals.

If quantity is 100 when price is $50, what is total revenue?
Given a quantity of 1,000, a price of $10, and a total cost of $8,000, calculate total profit.
On a monopoly graph, how do you find the profit maximizing level of output?
| At the intersection of demand and marginal cost and drop straight down. |
| At the intersection of marginal revenue and marginal cost and drop straight down |

|
I don't know, I didn't learn the graphs. |
Which of the following is a characteristic of monopolistic competition?
| One firm |
| Strong barriers to entry |
| No close substitutes |
| Many, small firms |
If the 5 firms in an industry have market shares of 40, 30, 15, 10, and 5, calculate the Hirerfindahl-Hirschman Index.
What is the general solution for dealing with the market failure of public goods?
| It is best to leave things to private markets |
| Have the government regulate the industry |
| Have the government provide the good and force people to pay for it with taxes |
|
Have the government sue the industry to pay for all of the costs of production |
Does the existence of a negative externality result in the market system producing too much or too little of the product compared to what is best for society?
| Too much |
| Too little |
| Just the right amount |

#Create a class called FrapOrder. FrapOrder should
#have two attributes (instance variables): size and
#extra_shots. Make sure the variable names match those
#words. size will be a character, either "S", "M", or "L".
#extra_shots will be an integer.
#
#FrapOrder should have a constructor with two required
#parameters, one for each of those attributes (size and
#extra_shots, in that order).
#
#FrapOrder should also have a method called get_total.
#get_total should calculate the total cost of the order.
#If size is "S", the base cost is 2.50. If the size is "M",
#the base cost is 3.50. If the size is "L", the base cost is
#4.50. Then, each extra shot costs $0.35.
#
#For example, if size is "M" and extra_shots is 2, then
#get_total would return 4.2: 3.50 + 0.70 = 4.20 (and Python
#drops trailing 0s).
#
#total should NOT be an attribute of the class; instead,
#total should be calculated and returned live when the method
#get_total is called.
#
#The get_total method should have NO parameters besides self.
#Instead, it should calculate the total based on the current
#values for the size and extra_shots attributes.
#Write your class here!
#The code below will test your function. If it works, it
#should print "M" (without the quotes), 2, and 4.2 in that
#order.
test_order = FrapOrder("M", 2)

Marathon Running Shop has two service departments (advertising and administrative) and two operating departments (shoes and clothing). The table that follows shows the direct expenses incurred and square footage occupied by all four departments, as well as total sales for the two operating departments for the year 2019.
| Department | Direct Expenses | Square Feet | Sales | ||||||||
| Advertising | $ | 15,000 | 1,080 | ||||||||
| Administrative | 28,000 | 990 | |||||||||
| Shoes | 123,000 | 3,330 | $ | 166,400 | |||||||
| Clothing | 18,000 | 3,600 | 93,600 | ||||||||
The advertising department developed and distributed 240
advertisements during the year. Of these, 72 promoted shoes and 168
promoted clothing. Utilities expense of $45,000 is an indirect
expense to all departments.
Complete a departmental expense allocation spreadsheet for Marathon
Running Shop. The spreadsheet should assign (1) direct expenses to
each of the four departments, (2) the $45,000 of utilities expense
to the four departments on the basis of floor space occupied, (3)
the advertising department’s expenses to the two operating
departments on the basis of the number of ads placed that promoted
a department’s products, and (4) the administrative department’s
expenses to the two operating departments based on the amount of
sales.
