A car dealership sells two types of cars: battery powered cars and conventional cars that run on gasoline. Selling one car involves 3 labour hours for a conven- tional car and 6 labour hours for an electric car. In addition, once a car is sold it needs to be ordered and once it arrives at the dealership it needs to be prepared for delivery to the new owner. The going rate for labour is $200 per hour. The table below shows the relevant data per single car of each type. Note, all costs mentioned in the table are direct costs. Car type conventional electric Price $44,000 $45,200 Cost of car from manufacturer $40,000 $40,000 Cost of sales: Labour hours $600 $1,200 Preparation of delivery $1000 $1000 Contribution margin ... ...

Dr. Detail is a mobile car wash. The price for a standard wash is $35 and takes half an hour. Each worker is paid $20/hr, uses $5 of materials and $0.50 per mile to use their own vehicle to travel from job to job. The average job is 5 miles. Ernest Kuhns son got sick in the car, and Ernest Kuhn has asked Dr. Detail to detail his car instead of doing a simple wash and vacuum. A. Determine the differential income if $100 was charged to detail the car. Each car detail will take 2 hours. The materials used by the worker is three times that of a standard car wash. B. If the price is raised to $150, what is the differential income change? C. Keeping the price at $150, if the worker rate per hour would increase to $20/hr how would the differential income change? Prepare an Excel spreadsheet. D. What other issues would you need to consider?

Tupper Inc. and Victory Inc. are two small clothing companies that are considering leasing a dyeing machine together. The companies estimated that in order to meet production, Tupper needs the machine for 950 hours and Victory needs it for 700 hours. If each company rents the machine on its own, the fee will be $85 per hour of usage. If they rent the machine together, the fee will decrease to $80 per hour of usage. Read the requirements. Requirements 1. Calculate Tupper's and Victory's respective share of fees under the stand-alone cost-allocation method. 2. Calculate Tupper's and Victory's respective share of fees using the incremental cost-allocation method assuming (a) Tupper ranked as the primary party and (b) Victory ranked as the primary party. 3. Calculate Tupper's and Victory's respective share of fees using the Shapley value method. 4. Which method would you recommend Tupper and Victory use to share the fees? - X

Suppose that you operate a business that produces widgets. What's a widget? A widget is a hypothetical product with no particular attributes or features to confuse us. Just widgets. In the course of a month, you produce 5,000 widgets. You only have three inputs when producing widgets; 1) factory space; 2) labor; and 3) raw materials. You pay rent of $3,000 per month. Your use of labor and raw materials depends on how many widgets you produce. When you produce 5,000 widgets, your labor costs are $4,000 and your raw material costs are $1,500. • What is your average cost (or average total cost) of producing 5,000 widgets?
