Lydo Cinema Chain based in Melbourne, owns three cinemas in the suburbs of Camberwell, South Yarra and Ringwood. It has prepared budgets for the coming year based upon a ticket price of $20. Particulars Camberwell South Yarra Ringwood Budgeted revenue from ticket sales 1,500,000 1,250,000 750,000 Costs: Film license 510,000 390,000 380,000 Wages and salaries 295,000 265,000 175,000 Overheads 495,000 395,000 345,000 Total costs 1,300,000 1,050,000 900,000 Included in the overhead figures are the Head Office fixed costs that amount to $750,000, these have been allocated to each cinema based on budgeted ticket receipts. All other costs are variable. The top management is concerned about the Ringwood cinema and the fact that it is showing a budgeted loss and is considering closing the cinema and selling the site to a Property Developer. Required: (a) Prepare marginal costing income statements to show contributions for each cinema and contribution and profit for the overall chain based on the original budget. (b) Prepare marginal costing income statements to show contributions for each cinema and contribution and profit for the overall chain assuming Ringwood cinema is closed. (c) Based on your calculations in requirement (b) above, do you think that Ringwood cinema should be closed? Justify your answer with appropriate explanation. (d) What is the contribution per ticket sale at each cinema? (e) What is the margin of safety in revenue for the chain at the budgeted level of activity if the Ringwood cinema is kept open? (f) What is the margin of safety in revenue for the chain at the budgeted level of activity if the Ringwood cinema is closed? (g) If the Ringwood cinema is kept open, management would like to increase its profitability. One suggestion is that ticket sales at Ringwood cinema can be increased by 60% by an advertising campaign directed at Ringwood that will add $20,000 to the chain's fixed costs. Do you think that the advertising campaign should be undertaken to improve the cinema's profitability? Give reasons for your decision.

Many regions in North and South Carolina and Georgia have experienced rapid population growth over the last 10 years. It is expected that the growth will continue over the next 10 years. This has motivated many of the large grocery store chains to build new stores in the region. The Kelley’s Super Grocery Stores Inc. chain is no exception. The director of planning for Kelley’s Super Grocery Stores wants to study adding more stores in this region. He believes there are two main factors that indicate the amount families spend on groceries. The first is their income and the other is the number of people in the family. The director gathered the following sample information.

I just returned from a research trip to South Dakota and started to enter my data into a spreadsheet and realized that there were 60 statisticians (You) meeting each Monday and Wednesday morning. When asked, the 60 statisticians were elated to help me in do an analysis. I wanted to determine if sharp-tailed grouse flight speed was affected by length of primary feathers. Don’t get overly excited, but here are the data. There are not very many measurements, so I presume they are not normally distributed. Analyze and interpret. In your own words (a few sentences will suffice), draw some conclusions about our results. Include all of the information necessary for publication.

Bob the Farmer grows vegetables at his farm in South Dakota. He grows his vegetables for sale to food companies. On November 1, he sells his vegetables to Granny’s Pie Company for $65,000, inclusive of 13% VAT. Granny’s Pie Company uses his vegetables to produce savory meat and vegetable pies (they’re huge in the UK). After the production of the pies is complete, Granny’s Pie Company sells the pies to Winn Dixie Grocery Stores for $140,000, inclusive of 13% VAT. Winn Dixie Grocery Stores subsequently sell all of the pies to consumers for $200,000, inclusive of 13% VAT. Assume that meat and vegetable pies are not subject to VAT exemptions (the government has deemed them not essential).

b) How much VAT is remitted to the government at each stage in the production process, and by whom? 4 points Advanced Taxation Spring 2020 c) How much net tax burden is economically borne by each participant in the production process/supply chain?
