Adventure Park is a large theme park. Staffing for the theme park involves many different labor classifications, one of which is the parking lot staff. The parking lot staff collects parking fees, provides directions, and operates trams. The staff size is a function of the number of daily vehicles. Adventure Park has determined from historical experience that a staff member is needed for every 200 vehicles. Adventure Park estimates staff for both school days and non school days. Non school days are higher attendance days than school days. The number of expected vehicles for each day is as follows: School Days Nonschool Days Number of vehicles per day 3,000 8,000 Number of days per year 165 200 Parking fees are $10 per vehicle.

- Novo, Inc., wants to develop an activity flexible budget for the activity of moving materials. Novo uses eight forklifts to move materials from receiving to stores. The forklifts are also used to move materials from stores to the production area. The forklifts are obtained through an operating lease that costs 18,000 per year per forklift. Novo employs 25 forklift operators who receive an average salary of 50,000 per year, including benefits. Each move requires the use of a crate. The crates are used to store the parts and are emptied only when used in production. Crates are disposed of after one cycle (two moves), where a cycle is defined as a move from receiving to stores to production. Each crate costs 1.80. Fuel for a forklift costs 3.60 per gallon. A gallon of gas is used every 20 moves. Forklifts can make three moves per hour and are available for 280 days per year, 24 hours per day (the remaining time is downtime for various reasons). Each operator works 40 hours per week and 50 weeks per year. Required: 1. Prepare a flexible budget for the activity of moving materials, using the number of cycles as the activity driver. 2. Calculate the activity capacity for moving materials. Suppose Novo works at 80 percent of activity capacity and incurs the following costs: Prepare the budget for the 80 percent level and then prepare a performance report for the moving materials activity. 3. Calculate and interpret the volume variance for moving materials. 4. Suppose that a redesign of the plant layout reduces the demand for moving materials to one-third of the original capacity. What would be the budget formula for this new activity level? What is the budgeted cost for this new activity level? Has activity performance improved? How does this activity performance evaluation differ from that described in Requirement 2? Explain.arrow_forwardNozama.com Inc. sells consumer electronics over the Internet.
