Static and flexible budgets are similar in that:

The New Products Division of Testar Company, had operating income of $8,000,000 and operating assets of $44,800,000 during the current year. The New Products Division has developed a potential new product that would require $8,500,000 in operating assets and would be expected to provide $1,400,000 in operating income each year. Testar has set a target return on investment (ROI) of 16% for each of its divisions. Assuming that the new product is put into production, calculate the residual income for the division.

Campbell Candy Corporation desires a 13% return on investment (ROI) on all operations. The following information was available for the company for the current year: Sales \1 6,000 Operating income \4 ,200 Turnover 0.5 What is the corporation's ROI? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Grenada Company estimates sales of 15,000 units for the upcoming period. At this sales volume its budgeted income is as follows: During the period the company actually produced and sold 18,000 units.Required:Prepare a flexible budget based on 18,000 units.

Joseph Company has an investment in assets of $1,003,000, operating income that is 10% of sales, and an ROI of 17%. From this information the amount of operating income would be:

Which of the following would increase residual income? (Assume all other things are equal)

The following standard cost card is provided for Navid Company's Product A: Direct material (2 lbs. ( \ 5.00 per lb.) \1 0.00 Direct labor (1 hr @ \5 .00 per hr.) 5.00 Variable overhead (1 hr. @ \4 .00 per hr.) 4.00 Fixed overhead (1 hr. @ \ 2.00 per hr.) Total standard cost per unit The fixed overhead rate is based on total budgeted fixed overhead of $15,000. During the period, the company produced and sold 5,300 units at the following costs: Direct material 15,000 pounds @ $4.50 per pound Direct labor 5,050 hours @ $5.00 per hour Overhead $29,970The standard manufacturing cost per unit is $27.00. What is the actual manufacturing cost per unit? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Jones Company developed the following static budget at the beginning of the company's accounting period: Revenue ( 8,100 units) \ 16,200 Variable costs Contribution margin \ 12,150 Fixed costs Net income If actual production totals 8,500 units, the flexible budget would show total costs of:

Sanford Company reported the following information for the current year: Sales \ 880,000 Average operating assets \ 475,000 Desired ROI 10\% Het income \ 90,000 Required:Based on this information, calculate the company's residual income.

White Company budgeted fixed overhead costs of $200,000 and volume of 40,000 units. During the year, the company produced and sold 39,000 units and spent $210,000 on fixed overhead.The spending variance relating to the fixed overhead cost is:

Distinguish between static and flexible budgets. Give an example of how flexible budgets can be used.

If the master budget prepared at a volume level of 10,000 units includes direct labor of $10,000, a flexible budget based on a volume of 11,000 units would include direct labor of $10,000.

The following static budget is provided: Units Units Sales \ 200,000 Less variable costs: Manufacturing costs \7 0,000 Selling and administrative costs Contribution margin \ 90,000 Less fixed costs: Manufacturing costs \ 22,000 Selling and administrative costs Net income What will budgeted net income equal if 21,000 units are produced and sold? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

An organizational unit of a business that incurs costs and generates revenues is known as a(n):

A disadvantage of decentralization is that it fails to motivate managers to improve the productivity of their division.

In an optimal responsibility accounting system, managers are evaluated on only the revenues and costs that are under their control.
