C) $14,420

D) $27,829

Ans:  D AACSB:  Analytic AICPA BB:  Critical Thinking AICPA FN:  Reporting Appendix:  12B LO:  5 Level:  Medium
Solution:

Actual Customer Service Department cost incurred

= $891,089 + $709,820 = $1,600,909

Customer Service Department cost charged to operating divisions

= [$72 per order × (2,610 orders + 9,580 orders)] + $695,400

= [$72 per order × 12,190 orders] + $695,400

= $877,680 + $695,400 = $1,573,080

Actual Customer Service Department cost not charged to operating divisions

= $1,600,909 − $1,573,080 = $27,829

For each of the following questions, refer back to the original data.


52. If Store B sales increase by $20,000 with no change in traceable fixed expenses, the overall company net operating income should:

A) increase by $2,500

B) increase by $5,000

C) increase by $8,000

D) increase by $12,000

Ans:  C AACSB:  Analytic AICPA BB:  Critical Thinking AICPA FN:  Reporting; Measurement LO:  1 Level:  Medium


Solution:

Store B contribution margin ratio = $80,000 ÷ $200,000 = 40%

Additional net operating income = $20,000 × 40% = $8,000

53. The marketing department believes that a promotional campaign at Store A costing $5,000 will increase sales by $15,000. If its plan is adopted, overall company net operating income should:

A) decrease by $800

B) decrease by $5,800

C) increase by $5,800

D) increase by $10,000

Ans:  A AACSB:  Analytic AICPA BB:  Critical Thinking AICPA FN:  Reporting; Measurement LO:  1 Level:  Medium
Solution:

Store A contribution margin ratio = $28,000 ÷ $100,000 = 28%

Change in net operating income = ($15,000 × 28%) − $5,000

= $4,200 − $5,000 = $800 decrease


54. A proposal has been made that will lower variable expenses in Store A to 62% of sales. However, this reduction can only be accomplished by an increase in fixed expenses of $8,000. If this proposal is implemented and sales remain constant, overall company net operating income should:

A) remain the same

B) decrease by $4,200

C) increase by $2,000

D) increase by $8,000

Ans:  C AACSB:  Analytic AICPA BB:  Critical Thinking AICPA FN:  Reporting; Measurement LO:  1 Level:  Medium


Solution:

New amount for Store A variable expenses = $100,000 × 62% = $62,000

Change in net operating income = ($72,000 − $62,000) − $8,000

= $10,000 − $8,000 = $2,000 increase

55. If sales in Store B increase by $30,000 as a result of a $7,000 expenditure in fixed expenses:

A) the contribution margin should increase by $18,000

B) the segment margin should increase by $12,000

C) the contribution margin should increase by $11,000

D) the segment margin should increase by $5,000

Ans:  D AACSB:  Analytic AICPA BB:  Critical Thinking AICPA FN:  Reporting LO:  1 Level:  Hard


Solution:

Store B contribution margin ratio = $80,000 ÷ $200,000 = 40%

Change in segment margin = ($30,000 × 40%) − $7,000

= $12,000 − $7,000 = $5,000 increase


56. Currently the sales clerks receive a salary of $7,000 per month in Store B. A proposal has been made to change from a fixed salary to a sales commission of 5%. Assume that this proposal is adopted, and that as a result sales increase by $20,000. The new segment margin for Store B should be:

A) $29,000

B) $32,000

C) $39,000

D) $45,000

The company's overall contribution margin ratio was 38%, and its fixed expenses totaled $525,000 for the year. Sales by product were: Product A, $750,000; Product B, $450,000; and Product C, $300,000. Traceable fixed expenses were: Product A, $180,000; Product B, $150,000; and Product C, $90,000. The variable expenses were: Product A, $450,000; Product B, $270,000; and Product C, $___?___.
57. The net operating income for the company as a whole for June was:

A) $45,000

B) $105,000

C) $150,000

D) $570,000

Ans:  A AACSB:  Analytic AICPA BB:  Critical Thinking AICPA FN:  Reporting; Measurement LO:  1 Level:  Medium


Solution:

Net operating income

$ 45,000

58. The contribution margin ratio for Product C for June was:

A) 0%

B) 30%


C) 38%

D) 70%


Ans:  B AACSB:  Analytic AICPA BB:  Critical Thinking AICPA FN:  Reporting LO:  1 Level:  Hard
Solution:

Company variable expenses = $1,500,000 × (100% − 38%)

= $1,500,000 × 62% = $930,000

Product C variable expenses = $930,000 − $450,000 − $270,000 = $210,000

Product C contribution margin = $300,000 − $210,000 = $90,000

Product C contribution margin ratio = $90,000 ÷ $300,000 = 30%

59. Common fixed expenses for Higgins Company for June were:

A) $45,000

B) $420,000

C) $150,000

D) $105,000

Ans:  D AACSB:  Analytic AICPA BB:  Critical Thinking AICPA FN:  Reporting LO:  1 Level:  Hard


Solution:

Common fixed expenses = Total fixed expenses – Traceable fixed expenses

= $525,000 – ($180,000 + $150,000 + $90,000)

= $525,000 – $420,000 = $105,000

Increase in net operating income = $320,000 × 10% × 35% = $11,200
62. If operations in rural areas would have been discontinued at the beginning of last year, how would this have changed the net operating income of Azuki Company as a whole?

A) $5,000 increase

B) $6,000 increase

C) $11,000 increase

D) $24,000 decrease

Ans:  B AACSB:  Analytic AICPA BB:  Critical Thinking AICPA FN:  Reporting LO:  1 Level:  Easy


Solution:

Solution:

Actual cost = $237,390 + $239,140 = $476,530

Cost allocated to operating divisions

= [$56 per order × (1,240 + 2,860 orders)] + $233,700

= [$56 per order × 4,100 orders] + $233,700

= $229,600 + $233,700 = $463,300

Actual Order Fulfillment cost not allocated to operating divisions

= $476,530 − $463,300 = $13,230
