...CHAPTER 1: Exercise 14 If Ken stayed open on Saturdays, the added income would be $130,000 per year ($2,500 x 52), while the additional costs are shown to be $1,000 ($700 + $500 + $100 + $200). Using these two figures, we can calculate the opportunity cost (the loss from an opportunity not taken), which would be $1,500 ($2,500 - $1,000). To me, this says that Ken should keep his shop open on Saturday’s. Rent or depreciation of office equipment do not need to be calculated because these are fixed costs. They would not change regardless of how many days his shop is open nor his shops production. Also, rent of course would not change if his shop stays open on Saturday’s because rent covers the whole month. Problem 2 a.) If we reference 1-1 so we can see the production costs, we need to add the ingredient costs of $20,000 + labor costs of $12,000, totaling $32,000. Then divide that by the number of jars that actually produced (25,000). This equals $1.28/one jar of salsa. The incremental cost is calculated as follows: $1.28 x 50,000 (extra jars of salsa) = $64,000. b.) The revenue started out at $1,625,000 (325,000 jars x $5.00), while the new revenue would be $1,725,000 (375,000 x $4.60). After calculating the difference, we can see that the incremental revenue after the reduction of price would be $100,000 ($1,725,000 - $1,625,000). c.) Yes, he should lower the price of its salsa. Problem 4 a.) On page 6 of our text book, we learn about the Management...

...Chapter 1 Managerial Accounting and the Business Environment Solutions to Questions 1-1 Managerial accounting is concerned with providing information to managers for use within the organization. Financial accounting is concerned with providing information to stockholders, creditors, and others outside of the organization. 1-2 Essentially, managers carry out three major activities in an organization: planning, directing and motivating, and controlling. All three activities involve decision making. 1-3 The Planning and Control Cycle involves formulating plans, implementing plans, measuring performance, and evaluating differences between planned and actual performance. 1-4 A line position is directly related to the achievement of the basic objectives of the organization. A staff position is not directly related to the achievement of those objectives; rather, it is supportive, providing services and assistance to other parts of the organization. 1-5 In contrast to financial accounting, managerial accounting: (1) focuses on the needs of the manager; (2) places more emphasis on the future; (3) emphasizes relevance and flexibility, rather than precision; (4) emphasizes the segments of an organization; (5) is not governed by GAAP; and (6) is not mandatory. 1-6 A number of benefits accrue from reduced setup time. First, reduced setup time allows a company to produce in smaller batches, which in turn reduces the level of inventories. Second, reduced setup time allows a company to spend...
