d.$181.78

Explanation:

The formula used for activity rate is activity cost divided by the activity base cost.

Panamint Systems Corporation

Activity Cost Activity Base

Procurement $308,500 Number of purchase orders

Scheduling $244,500 Number of production orders

Materials handling $419,700 Number of moves

Product development $720,200 Number of engineering changes

Production $1,538,300 Machine hours

Disk drives Tape drives Wire drives

Number of Purchase Orders 4,080 2,300 11,300

Number of Production Orders 450 155 740

Number of Moves 1,320 520 4300

Number of Engineering Changes 11 4 23

Machine Hours 2,400 8,200 10,600

Number of Units 1600 4,400 2,500

As there are three kinds of drives the total activity base cost is obtained by adding the base cost of each drive.

Scheduling per production= Scheduling Cost/ Number of production orders

=$244,500 / 450+ 155 +740

= $244,500 / 1345= 181.78

Which of the following statements is correct? large corporations are taxed more favorably than sole proprietorships. corporate stockholders are exposed to unlimited liability. due to limited liability, unlimited lives, and ease of ownership transfer, the vast majority of u.s. businesses (in terms of number of businesses) are organized as corporations. most businesses (by number and total dollar sales) are organized as partnerships or proprietorships because it is easier to set up and operate in one of these forms rather than as a corporation. however, if the business gets very large, it becomes advantageous to convert to a corporation, mainly because corporations have important tax advantages over proprietorships and partnerships. most business (measured by dollar sales) is conducted by corporations in spite of large corporationsâ€™ often less favorable tax treatment, due to legal considerations related to ownership transfers and limited liability.

In december of 2004, the company you own entered into a 20-year contract with a grain supplier for daily deliveries of grain to its hot dog bun manufacturing facility. the contract called for "10,000 pounds of grain" to be delivered to the facility at the price of $100,000 per day. until february 2017, the supplier provided processed grain which could easily be used in your manufacturing process. however, no longer wanting to absorb the cost of having the grain processed, the supplier began delivering whole grain. the supplier is arguing that the contract does not specify the type of grain that would be supplied and that it has not breached the contract. your company is arguing that the supplier has an onsite processing plant and processed grain was implicit to the terms of the contract. over the remaining term of the contract, reshipping and having the grain processed would cost your company approximately $10,000,000, opposed to a cost of around $1,000,000 to the supplier. after speaking with in-house counsel, it was estimated that litigation would cost the company several million dollars and last for years. weighing the costs of litigation, along with possible ambiguity in the contract, what are three options you could take to resolve the dispute? which would be the best option for your business and why?

This exercise illustrates that poor quality can affect schedules and costs. a manufacturing process has 130 customer orders to fill. each order requires one component part that is purchased from a supplier. however, typically, 3% of the components are identified as defective, and the components can be assumed to be independent. (a) if the manufacturer stocks 130 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (b) if the manufacturer stocks 132 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (c) if the manufacturer stocks 135 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components?
