The investigation of materials price variance usually begins in the:
controller’s office. accounts payable department. first production
department. purchasing department Hollis Industries produces flash
drives for computers, which it sells for $20 each. Each flash drive
costs $13 of variable costs to make. During April, 1,000 drives were
sold. Fixed costs for March were $2 per unit for a total of $1,000 for
the month. How much is the contribution margin ratio? 35% 25%
75% 65% Which of the following statements is not true? When a
company’s sales revenue is decreasing, high operating leverage is
good because it means that profits will decrease at a slower pace
than revenues decrease. When a company’s sales revenue is
increasing, high operating leverage is good because it means that
profits will increase rapidly. Companies that have higher fixed costs
relative to variable costs have higher operating leverage. Operating
leverage refers to the extent to which a company’s net income reacts
to a given change in sales. Which of the following will not result in an
unfavorable controllable margin difference? Sales under budget;
costs under budget Sales exceeding budget; costs under budget Sales
under budget; costs over budget Sales exceeding budget; costs over
budget 5 Based on the following data, what is the amount of working
capital? Accounts

$332,000 $326,000 $284,000 6 Miller Manufacturing’s degree of
operating leverage is 1.5. Warren Corporation’s degree of operating
leverage is 3. Warren’s earnings would go up (or down) by ________
as much as Miller’s with an equal increase (or decrease) in sales. 2
times 4.5 times 1.5 times 1/2 times 7 What is the primary difference
between a static budget and a flexible budget? The static budget
contains only fixed costs, while the flexible budget contains only
variable costs. The static budget is prepared only for units produced,
while a flexible budget reflects the number of units sold. The static
budget is constructed using input from only upper level
management, while a flexible budget obtains input from all levels of
management. The static budget is prepared for a single level of
activity, while a flexible budget is adjusted for different activity
levels. 8 Ben Gordon, Inc. manufactures 2 products, wheels and
seats. The company has estimated its overhead in the assembling
department to be $660,000. The company produces 300,000 wheels
and 600,000 seats each year. Each wheel uses 2 parts, and each seat
uses 3 parts. How much of the assembly overhead should be
allocated to wheels? $165,000 $220,000 $264,000 $282,856 9
Financial and managerial accounting are similar in that both: produce
general-purpose reports. deal with the economic events of an
enterprise. have reports that are prepared quarterly and annually.
have the same primary users. 10 It costs Garner Company $12 of
variable and $5 of fixed costs to produce one bathroom scale which
normally sells for $35. A foreign wholesaler offers to purchase 3,000
scales at $15 each. Garner would incur special shipping costs of $1
per scale if the order were accepted. Garner has sufficient unused
capacity to produce the 3,000 scales. If the special order is accepted,
what will be the effect on net income? $6,000 decrease $9,000
decrease $6,000 increase $45,000 increase 11 Which one of the
following is an example of a period cost? A manager’s salary for work
that is done in the corporate head office. A box cost associated with
computers. A change in benefits for the union workers who work in
the New York plant of a Fortune 1000 manufacturer. Workers’
compensation insurance on factory workers’ wages allocated to the
factory. 12 The Mac Company has four plants nationwide that cost
$350 million. The current fair value of the plants is $300 million. The
plants will be reported as assets at: $300 million. $350 million. $600
million. $700 million. 13 Are advanced receipts from customers
treated as revenue at the time of receipt? Why or why not? Yes, the
intent of the company is to perform the work and the customer is
confident that the services will be completed. No, the amount of
revenue cannot be adequately determined until the company
completes the work. Yes, they are treated as revenue at the time of
receipt because the company has access to the cash. No, revenue
cannot be recognized until the work is performed. 14 Which
statement is correct? The cash basis of accounting is objective
because no one can be certain of the amount of revenue until the
cash is received. As long as management is ethical, there are no
problems with using the cash basis of accounting. As long as a
company consistently uses the cash basis of accounting, generally
accepted accounting principles allow its use. The use of the cash
basis of accounting violates both the revenue recognition and
expense recognition principles. 15 If a plant is operating at full
capacity and receives a one-time opportunity to accept an order at a
special price below its usual price, then: the order will likely be
accepted. only variable costs are relevant. the order will likely be
rejected. fixed costs are not relevant. 16 Kimble Company applies
overhead on the basis of machine hours. Given the following data,
compute overhead applied and the under- or overapplication of
overhead for the period: Estimated annual overhead cost $1,600,000
Actual annual overhead cost $1,575,000 Estimated machine hours
400,000 Actual machine hours 390,000 $1,560,000 applied and
$15,000 underapplied $1,560,000 applied and $15,000 overapplied
$1,600,000 applied and $15,000 overapplied $1,575,000 applied and
neither under- nor overapplied 17 Scorpion Production Company
planned to use 1 yard of plastic per unit budgeted at $81 a yard.
However, the plastic actually cost $80 per yard. The company
actually made 3,900 units, although it had planned to make only
3,300 units. Total yards used for production were 3,960. How much
is the total materials variance? $3,960 F $48,600 U $900 U $4,860 U
18 Which of the following statements concerning users of accounting
information is incorrect? Present creditors are considered external
users. Taxing authorities are considered external users. Regulatory
authorities are considered internal users. Management is considered
an internal user. 19 Top management notices a variation from
budget and an investigation of the difference reveals that the
department manager could not be expected to have controlled the
variation. Which of the following statements is applicable?
Department managers should be credited for favorable variances
even if they are beyond their control. Department managers should
be held accountable for all variances from budgets for their
departments. Department managers’ performances should not be
evaluated based on actual results to budgeted results. Department
managers should only be held accountable for controllable variances
for their departments. 20 Danner Corporation reported net sales of
$650,000, $720,000, and $780,000 in the years 2016, 2017, and
2018, respectively. If 2016 is the base year, what percentage do 2018
sales represent of the base? 120% 83% 20% 108% 21 La More
Company had the following transactions during 2016: Sales of $9,000
on account Collected $4,000 for services to be performed in 2017
Paid $3,750 cash in salaries for 2016 Purchased airline tickets for
$500 in December for a trip to take place in 2017 What is La More’s
2016 net income using accrual accounting? $9,250 $9,750 $5,250
$5,750 22 If there are no units in process at the beginning of the
period, then: the units started into production will equal the number
of units transferred out. the company must be using a job order cost
system. the units to be accounted for will equal the units transferred
out and the units in process at the end of the period. only one
computation of equivalent units of production will be necessary. 23
Which of the following is not an underlying assumption of CVP
analysis? Sales mix is constant. Beginning inventory is larger than
ending inventory. Cost classifications are reasonably accurate.
Changes in activity are the only factors that affect costs. 24. In
performing a vertical analysis, the base for sales revenues on the
income statement is: net sales. cost of goods available for sale. sales
revenue. net income. 25 Differences between a job order cost
system and a process cost system include all of the following except
the: unit cost computations. flow of costs. documents used to track
costs. point at which costs are totaled. 26 Henson Company began
the year with retained earnings of $380,000. During the year, the

Team Assignment Purpose of Assignment The case study focuses on
break-even, margin of safety, and incremental analysis and allows
students to experience working through a business scenario to apply
these tools in managerial decision making. Students are required to
make decisions and provide solutions based on their evaluation of

Accounting Principles (GAAP), U.S. Securities and Exchange
Committee (SEC) Tutorial help on Excel® and Word functions can be
found on the Microsoft® Office website. There are also additional
tutorials via the web offering support for Office products. Scenario:
Shelley Jones has just been elected as president of the Circular Club of
Auburn, Kansas, and she has been asked to suggest a new
fundraising activity for the club. After a considerable amount of
research, Shelley proposed the Circular Club sponsor a professional
rodeo. In her presentation to the club, Shelley recommends the
fundraiser become an annual activity with the following goals: •
Continue to grow each year • Give back to the community • Provide
the club a presence in the community Shelley's goal in the first year is
to have an activity that would become an "annual community event"
and would break even the first year and raise $5,000 the following
year. In addition, based on the experience of other communities,
Shelley believed a rodeo could grow in popularity so the club would
eventually earn an average of $20,000 annually. A rodeo committee
was formed. Shelley contacted the world's oldest and largest rodeo-
sanctioning agency to apply to sponsor a professional rodeo. The
sanctioning agency requires a rodeo to consist of the following five
events: Bareback Riding, Bronco Riding, Steer Wrestling, Bull Riding,
and Calf Roping, Team Roping and Women's Barrels. Prize money in
the amount of $3,000 would be paid to winners in each of the seven
events. Members of the rodeo committee contracted with RJ Cattle
Company, a livestock contractor on the rodeo circuit, to provide
bucking stock, fencing, and chutes. Realizing costs associated with
the rodeo were tremendous and ticket sales would probably not be
sufficient to cover the costs, the rodeo committee sent letters to local
businesses soliciting contributions in exchange for various
sponsorships. Exhibiting Sponsorships are $1,000 to exhibit products
or services, while Major Sponsorships are $600, and Chute
Sponsorships are $500 to have the name of the sponsor's business on
one of the six bucking chutes. For a contribution of $100, individual
sponsors will be included in a Friends of Rodeo list found in the rodeo
programs. A local youth group will be contacted to provide
concessions to the public and divide the profits with the Circular Club.
The Auburn Circular Club Pro Rodeo Roundup will be held on June 1,
2, and 3. The cost of an adult ticket is set at $8 in advance or $10 at
the gate; the cost of a ticket for a child 12 or younger is set at $6 in
advance or $8 at the gate. Tickets are not date-specific. Rather, one
ticket will admit an individual to one performance of his or her
choice-- Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. The rodeo committee is able to
secure a location through the county supervisors' board at a nominal
cost to the Circular Club. The arrangement allows for the use of the
county fair grounds and arena for a one-week period. Several months
prior to the rodeo, members of the rodeo committee were notified
the bleachers at the arena would hold 2,500 patrons. On Saturday
night, paid attendance was 1,663, but all seats were filled due to
poor gate controls. Attendance was 898 Friday and 769 on Sunday.
The following revenue and expense figures relate to the first year of
the rodeo. Receipts Contributions from sponsors $22,000 Receipts
from ticket sales $28,971 Share of concession profits $1,513 Sale of
programs $600 Total receipts $53,084 Expenses Livestock contractor
$26,000 Prize money $21,000 Contestant hospitality $3,341* Sponsor
signs for arena $1,900 Insurance $1,800 Ticket printing $1,050
Sanctioning fees $925 Entertainment $859 Judging fees $750 Port-a-
potties $716 Rent $600 Hay for horses $538 Programs $500 Western
hats to first 500 children $450 Hotel rooms for stock contractor $325
Utilities $300 Sand for arena $251 Miscellaneous fixed costs $105
Total expenses $61,410 Net loss $ (8,326) *The club contracted with
a local caterer to provide a tent and food for the contestants. The
cost of the food was contingent on the number of contestants each
evening. Information concerning the number of contestants and the
costs incurred are as follows: Contestants Total Cost Friday 68 $998
Saturday 96 $1,243 Sunday 83 $1,100 $3,341 On Wednesday after
the rodeo, members of the rodeo committee met to discuss and
critique the rodeo. Jonathan Edmunds, CPA and President of the
Circular Club, commented that the club did not lose money. Rather,
Jonathan said, "The club made an investment in the rodeo." The
rodeo committee has requested an analysis of the rodeos
performance and evaluation of the CPA's review. Create a minimum
10-slide presentation, including detailed speaker notes, as the
committee's consultation team and respond to the following: • What
did Jonathan Edmunds mean when he said the club had made an
investment in the rodeo? Is his comment consistent with Shelley's
idea that the club should have a fundraiser that would: o Continue to
get better each year. o Give back to the community. o Provide the
club a presence in the community? Why or why not? • Shelley,
Jonathan, and Adrian Stein, the Fundraising Chairperson, are
beginning to make plans for next year's rodeo. Shelley believes by
negotiating with local feed stores, inn- keepers, and other business
owners, costs can be cut dramatically. Jonathan agrees. After
carefully analyzing costs, Jonathan has estimated the fixed expenses
can be pared to approximately $51,000. In addition, Jonathan
estimates variable costs are 4% of total gross receipts. After talking
with business owners who attended the rodeo, Adrian is confident
the funds solicited from sponsors will increase. Adrian is comfortable
in budgeting revenue from sponsors at $25,600. The local youth
group is unwilling to provide concessions to the audience unless they
receive all of the profits. Not having the personnel to staff the
concession booth, members of the Circular Club reluctantly agree to
let the youth group have 100% of the profits from the concessions. In
addition, members of the rodeo committee, recognizing the net
income from programs was only $100, decide not to sell rodeo
programs next year. o Compute the break-even point in dollars of
ticket sales assuming Adrian and Jonathan are correct in their
assumptions. • Shelley has just learned you are calculating the break-
even point in dollars of ticket sales. She is still convinced the Club can
make a profit using the assumptions above (second bullet point
above). o Calculate the dollars of ticket sales needed to earn a target
profit of $6,000. o Calculate the dollars of ticket sales needed to earn
a target profit of $12,000. • Are the facilities at the fairgrounds
adequate to handle crowds needed to generate ticket revenues
calculated above (third bullet point above) to earn a $6,000 profit?
Show calculations to support your answers. • A few members in the
Circular Club do not want to continue with the annual rodeo.
However, Shelley is insistent the Club must continue to conduct the
rodeo as an annual fundraiser. Shelley argues she has spent hundreds
of dollars on western boots, hats, and other items of clothing to wear
to the rodeo. Are the expenses related to Shelley's purchases of rodeo
clothing relevant costs? Why or why not? • Rather than hire the local
catering company to cater the Contestant Hospitality Tent, members
of the Circular Club are considering asking Shady's Bar-B-Q to cater
the event in exchange for a $600 Major Sponsor spot. In addition, The
Fun Shop, a local party supply business, will be asked to donate a tent
to use for the event. The Fun Shop will also be given a $600 Major
Sponsor spot. Several members of the Club are opposed to this
consideration, arguing that the two Major Sponsor spots will take
away from the money to be earned through other sponsors. Adrian
Stein has explained to the members the Major Sponsor signs for the
arena cost only $48 each. In addition, there is more than enough
room to display two additional sponsor signs. What would you
encourage the Club to do concerning the Contestant Hospitality Tent?
Would your answer be different if the arena were limited in the
number of additional signs that could be displayed? What kind of
cost would you consider in this situation that would not be found on a
financial statement? • Assume you are elected chair of the rodeo
committee for next year. What steps would you suggest the
committee take to make the rodeo profitable? Show your work in
Microsoft® Word or Excel®. Complete calculations/computations
using Microsoft® Word or Excel®. Format the assignment consistent
with APA guidelines.

Scenario: Shelley Jones has just been elected as president of the Circular Club of Auburn, Kansas, and she has been asked to suggest a new fundraising activity for the club. After a considerable amount of research, Shelley proposed the Circular Club sponsor a professional rodeo. In her presentation to the club, Shelley recommends the fundraiser become an annual activity with the following goals: • Continue to grow each year • Give back to the community • Provide the club a presence in the community Shelley's goal in the first year is to have an activity that would become an "annual community event" and would break even the first year and raise $5,000 the following year. In addition, based on the experience of other communities, Shelley believed a rodeo could grow in popularity so the club would eventually earn an average of $20,000 annually. A rodeo committee was formed. Shelley contacted the world's oldest and largest rodeo- sanctioning agency to apply to sponsor a professional rodeo. The sanctioning agency requires a rodeo to consist of the following five events: Bareback Riding, Bronco Riding, Steer Wrestling, Bull Riding, and Calf Roping, Team Roping and Women's Barrels. Prize money in the amount of $3,000 would be paid to winners in each of the seven events. Members of the rodeo committee contracted with RJ Cattle Company, a livestock contractor on the rodeo circuit, to provide bucking stock, fencing, and chutes. Realizing costs associated with the rodeo were tremendous and ticket sales would probably not be sufficient to cover the costs, the rodeo committee sent letters to local businesses soliciting contributions in exchange for various sponsorships. Exhibiting Sponsorships are $1,000 to exhibit products
  • 38. or services, while Major Sponsorships are $600, and Chute Sponsorships are $500 to have the name of the sponsor's business on one of the six bucking chutes. For a contribution of $100, individual sponsors will be included in a Friends of Rodeo list found in the rodeo programs. A local youth group will be contacted to provide concessions to the public and divide the profits with the Circular Club. The Auburn Circular Club Pro Rodeo Roundup will be held on June 1, 2, and 3. The cost of an adult ticket is set at $8 in advance or $10 at the gate; the cost of a ticket for a child 12 or younger is set at $6 in advance or $8 at the gate. Tickets are not date-specific. Rather, one ticket will admit an individual to one performance of his or her choice-- Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. The rodeo committee is able to secure a location through the county supervisors' board at a nominal cost to the Circular Club. The arrangement allows for the use of the county fair grounds and arena for a one-week period. Several months prior to the rodeo, members of the rodeo committee were notified the bleachers at the arena would hold 2,500 patrons. On Saturday night, paid attendance was 1,663, but all seats were filled due to poor gate controls. Attendance was 898 Friday and 769 on Sunday. The following revenue and expense figures relate to the first year of the rodeo. Receipts Contributions from sponsors $22,000 Receipts from ticket sales $28,971 Share of concession profits $1,513 Sale of programs $600 Total receipts $53,084 Expenses Livestock contractor $26,000 Prize money $21,000 Contestant hospitality $3,341* Sponsor signs for arena $1,900 Insurance $1,800 Ticket printing $1,050 Sanctioning fees $925 Entertainment $859 Judging fees $750 Port-a- potties $716 Rent $600 Hay for horses $538 Programs $500 Western hats to first 500 children $450 Hotel rooms for stock contractor $325 Utilities $300 Sand for arena $251 Miscellaneous fixed costs $105 Total expenses $61,410 Net loss $ (8,326) *The club contracted with a local caterer to provide a tent and food for the contestants. The
  • 39. cost of the food was contingent on the number of contestants each evening. Information concerning the number of contestants and the costs incurred are as follows: Contestants Total Cost Friday 68 $998 Saturday 96 $1,243 Sunday 83 $1,100 $3,341 On Wednesday after the rodeo, members of the rodeo committee met to discuss and critique the rodeo. Jonathan Edmunds, CPA and President of the Circular Club, commented that the club did not lose money. Rather, Jonathan said, "The club made an investment in the rodeo." The rodeo committee has requested an analysis of the rodeos performance and evaluation of the CPA's review. Create a minimum 10-slide presentation, including detailed speaker notes, as the committee's consultation team and respond to the following: • What did Jonathan Edmunds mean when he said the club had made an investment in the rodeo? Is his comment consistent with Shelley's idea that the club should have a fundraiser that would: o Continue to get better each year. o Give back to the community. o Provide the club a presence in the community? Why or why not? • Shelley, Jonathan, and Adrian Stein, the Fundraising Chairperson, are beginning to make plans for next year's rodeo. Shelley believes by negotiating with local feed stores, inn- keepers, and other business owners, costs can be cut dramatically. Jonathan agrees. After carefully analyzing costs, Jonathan has estimated the fixed expenses can be pared to approximately $51,000. In addition, Jonathan estimates variable costs are 4% of total gross receipts. After talking with business owners who attended the rodeo, Adrian is confident the funds solicited from sponsors will increase. Adrian is comfortable in budgeting revenue from sponsors at $25,600. The local youth group is unwilling to provide concessions to the audience unless they receive all of the profits. Not having the personnel to staff the concession booth, members of the Circular Club reluctantly agree to let the youth group have 100% of the profits from the concessions. In
  • 40. addition, members of the rodeo committee, recognizing the net income from programs was only $100, decide not to sell rodeo programs next year. o Compute the break-even point in dollars of ticket sales assuming Adrian and Jonathan are correct in their assumptions. • Shelley has just learned you are calculating the break- even point in dollars of ticket sales. She is still convinced the Club can make a profit using the assumptions above (second bullet point above). o Calculate the dollars of ticket sales needed to earn a target profit of $6,000. o Calculate the dollars of ticket sales needed to earn a target profit of $12,000. • Are the facilities at the fairgrounds adequate to handle crowds needed to generate ticket revenues calculated above (third bullet point above) to earn a $6,000 profit? Show calculations to support your answers. • A few members in the Circular Club do not want to continue with the annual rodeo. However, Shelley is insistent the Club must continue to conduct the rodeo as an annual fundraiser. Shelley argues she has spent hundreds of dollars on western boots, hats, and other items of clothing to wear to the rodeo. Are the expenses related to Shelley's purchases of rodeo clothing relevant costs? Why or why not? • Rather than hire the local catering company to cater the Contestant Hospitality Tent, members of the Circular Club are considering asking Shady's Bar-B-Q to cater the event in exchange for a $600 Major Sponsor spot. In addition, The Fun Shop, a local party supply business, will be asked to donate a tent to use for the event. The Fun Shop will also be given a $600 Major Sponsor spot. Several members of the Club are opposed to this consideration, arguing that the two Major Sponsor spots will take away from the money to be earned through other sponsors. Adrian Stein has explained to the members the Major Sponsor signs for the arena cost only $48 each. In addition, there is more than enough room to display two additional sponsor signs. What would you encourage the Club to do concerning the Contestant Hospitality Tent?
  • 41. Would your answer be different if the arena were limited in the number of additional signs that could be displayed? What kind of cost would you consider in this situation that would not be found on a financial statement? • Assume you are elected chair of the rodeo committee for next year. What steps would you suggest the committee take to make the rodeo profitable? Show your work in Microsoft® Word or Excel®. Complete calculations/computations using Microsoft® Word or Excel®.

  • 42. a 400-acre farm on the outskirts of the Kentucky Bluegrass, specializing in the boarding of broodmares and their foals. A recent economic downturn in the thoroughbred industry has led to a decline in breeding activities, and it has made the boarding business extremely competitive. To meet the competition, Green Pastures planned in 2017 to entertain clients, advertise more extensively, and absorb expenses formerly paid by clients such as veterinary and blacksmith fees. The budget report for 2017 is presented as an attachment. As shown, the static income statement budget for the year is based on an expected 21,900 boarding days at $25 per mare. The variable expenses per mare per day were budgeted: feed $5, veterinary fees $3, blacksmith fees $0.25, and supplies $0.55. All other budgeted expenses were either semifixed or fixed. During the year, management decided not to replace a worker who quit in March, but it did issue a new advertising brochure and did more entertaining of clients. Develop a minimum 700-word examination of the financial statements and include the following: • Based on the static budget report: o What was the primary cause(s) of the loss in net income? o Did management do a good, average, or poor job of controlling expenses? o Were management's decisions to stay competitive sound? • Prepare a flexible budget report for the year. • Based on the flexible budget report: o What was the primary cause(s) of the loss in net income? o Did management do a good, average, or poor job of controlling expenses? o Were management's decisions to stay competitive sound? • What course of action do you recommend for the management of Green Pastures? ============================================== ACC 561 Week 6 Budgets and Decisions making
