Q
Utease Corporation has several production plants nationwide. A newly opened plant in Dubuque produces and sells one product. The plant is treated, for responsibility accounting purposes, as a profit center. The unit standard costs for a production unit, with overhead applied based on direct labor hours, are as follows.Manufacturing costs (per unit based on expected activity of 24,000 units or 36,000 direct labor hours):Direct materials (2 pounds at $20)$ 40Direct labor (1.5 hours at $90)135Variable overhead (1.5 hours at $20)30Fixed overhead (1.5 hours at $30) 45Standard cost per unit$250Budgeted selling and administrative costs: Variable$ 5 per unitFixed$1,800,000Expected sales activity: 20,000 units at $425 per unit Desired ending inventories: 10% of sales Assume this is the first year of operations for the Dubuque plant. During the year, the company had the following activity.Units produced23,000Units sold21,500Unit selling price$420Direct labor hours worked34,000Direct labor costs$3,094,000Direct materials purchased50,000 poundsDirect materials costs$1,000,000Direct materials used50,000 poundsActual fixed overhead$1,080,000Actual variable overhead$620,000Actual selling and administrative costs$2,000,000In addition, all over- or underapplied overhead and all product cost variances are adjusted to cost of goods sold.InstructionsPrepare a production budget for the coming year based on the available standards, expected sales, and desired ending inventories.Prepare a budgeted responsibility income statement for the Dubuque plant for the coming year.page 1122Find the direct labor variances. Indicate if they are favorable or unfavorable and why they would be considered as such.Find the direct materials variances (materials price variance and quantity variance).Find the total over- or underapplied (both fixed and variable) overhead. Would cost of goods sold be a larger or smaller expense item after the adjustment for over- or underapplied overhead?Calculate the actual plant operating profit for the year.Use a flexible budget to explain the difference between the budgeted operating profit and the actual operating profit for the Dubuque plant for its first year of operations. What part of the difference do you believe is the plant manager’s responsibility?Assume Utease Corporation is planning to change its evaluation of business operations in all plants from the profit center format to the investment center format. If the average invested capital at the Dubuque plant is $8,050,000, compute the return on investment (ROI) for the first year of operations. Use the DuPont method of evaluation to compute the return on sales (ROS) and capital turnover (CT) for the plant.Assume that under the investment center evaluation plan the plant manager will be awarded a bonus based on ROI. If the manager has the opportunity in the coming year to invest in new equipment for $600,000 that will generate incremental earnings of $108,000 per year, would the manager undertake the project? Why or why not? What other evaluation tools could Utease use for its plants that might be better?The chief financial officer of Utease Corporation wants to include a charge in each investment center’s income statement for corporatewide administrative expenses. Should the Bellingham plant manager’s annual bonus be based on plant ROI after deducting the corporatewide administrative fee? Why or why not?

In your Grade 9, you have taken up respiratory system. Explain how does Boyle's Law can be applied in the lungs and diaphragm in breathing? We all have seen hot air balloons flying. But has anyone wondered how it works? An air balloon consists of a bag, a basket to carry passengers, and a source of heat. The heat source is usually a fuel like propane which on burning causes the heating of the air surrounding it. How is Charles' Law applied in hot air balloons? Using the Kinetic Molecular Theory, explain why you can smell the aroma of brewed coffee, the trace of burnt food, the sour scent of lemons, the stench of trash bin, and the fragrance of perfume.
