Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                           Fixed     Variable  Actual

Revenue                                             $276 $35,890

Insurance                           $2,890              $2,890  

Miscellaneous expenses     $930         $1     $375

Expected number of jobs to be worked = 140

Actual number of jobs worked = 150

Flexible costs:

Revenue = $276 * 150 = $41,400

Mobile lab operating expense:

Fixed element = $4,600

Variable element = $34 * 150 = $5,100

Total flexible budget = $9,700

Office Expenses:

Fixed element = $2,800

Variable element =  $3 * 150 = $450

Total flexible budget =  $3,250

Miscellaneous expenses:

Fixed element = $930

Variable element = $1 * 150 = $150

Total flexible budget = $1,080

Spending Variances:

Technician wages             $8,600                $8,450      8,600        150   F

A garage band wants to hold a concert. The expected crowd has a Normal distribution with the mean of 3000 and standard deviation of 200. The average expenditure on concessions is Uniformly distributed with a minimum of $10 and maximum of 25 dollars. Tickets sell for $10 each, and the band’s profit is 80% of the gate (ticket sale) and concession sales, minus a fixed cost of $12,000. Use the provided spreadsheet model and conduct a Monte Carlo simulation with 500 trials to analyze the band profit.
In your analysis,

As reported in the chapter, quarterly revenue (in billions of dollars) for Nike is estimated as
R= 3.820 + 0.139t + 0.168 Upper D1 + 0.482 Upper D2 + 0.594 Upper D3, where t is a time trend, Upper D1 is a dummy variable indicating the year's first quarter, Upper D2 is a dummy variable indicating the second quarter, and Upper D3 is a dummy variable indicating the third quarter.

During December, Krause Chemical Company had the following selected data concerning the manufacture of Xyzine, an industrial cleaner:

Production Flow Physical Units
Completed and transferred to the next department 100
Add: Ending work in process inventory 10(40% complete as to conversion)
Total units to account for 110
Less: Beginning work in process Inventory 20(60% complete as to conversion)
Units started during 90

All materials are added at the beginning of processing in this department, and conversion costs are added uniformly during the process. The beginning work in process inventory had $120 of raw materials and $180 of conversion costs incurred. Materials added during December were $540, and conversion costs of $1,484 were incurred. Krause uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) process cost method. The equivalent units of production used to compute conversion costs for December were:

a. 110 units.
b. 104 units.
c. 100 units.
d. 92 units.
