The owner of Barb’s Burgers has suggested the firm should invest in more moderntechnology and created a list of potential changes she thinks may be helpful as aninvestment. She has asked you to analyze the four potential choices and comment onwhat this would change in terms of cost:  Allow Barb’s Burgers to be delivered via the pre-existing food delivery systems.For example, allow people from Doordash/Uber Eats to pick-up orders and deliverthem. This would require the firm to make some minor changes and result in fewerparking spaces for customers dining at the restaurant. • Question: Argue how each of these is likely to change the cost of the firm once implemented (i.e. are any of these a fixed cost or a variable cost). How this adjust the amount of labour and/or capital currently necessary for the firm? Would the technology be a general technology, labour-saving, or capital-saving? Also mention the parking space.

Lisa is a contractor, and she owns a small home renovation company that specializes in kitchen renovations. Lisa fears she has been underbidding her projects, and that translates into lost profits that could help sustain her through slow periods. She is putting together an estimate for a potential client and has determined the following activities: Activity Demo of Existing Space Cabinet Installation Countertop Installation Final bid price Cost Driver $ Square Footage # of Hours Square Footage Rate $3.26 /square foot $205 /hour $12.00 /square foot Estimated Use for Job 520 square feet 8 hours Previously, Lisa was billing at a flat rate of $16 per square foot of the demo space with no additional markup. Lisa would like to add a 20% markup to the cost to arrive at the final bid price. Using Activity-Based Costing (ABC), what is the final bid price for her potential customer? (Round intermediate calculations and final answ to 2 decimal places, e.g. 25,000.25.) 280 square feet

HighFlyer Airlines wants to build new airplanes with greatly increased cabin space.  This will allow passengers more comfort and sell more tickets at a higher price.  However, redesigning the cabin means rethinking many other elements of the airplane as well, like the placement of engines and luggage, and the most efficient shape of the plane for moving through the air.  The company has developed a list of possible methods to increase cabin space, along with estimates of how these approaches would affect costs of operating the plane and sales of airline tickets.  Based on these estimates, the following table shows the value of Research and Development (R&D) projects that provide at least a certain private rate of return.  Column 1 = Private Rate of Return. Column 2 = Value of R&D Projects that Return at Least the Private Rate of Return to HighFlyer Airlines.  Use the data to answer the following questions. Private Rate of Return Value of R&D 12% $100 10% $200 8%…

Asia Aerials (AA) manufactures satellite dishes for receiving satellite television signals. AA supplies the major satellite TV companies that install standard satellite dishes for their customers. The company also manufactures and installs a small number of specialized satellite dishes to individuals or businesses with specific needs resulting from poor reception in their locations. The chief executive officer (CEO) wants to initiate a program of cost reduction at AA. His plan is to use activity-based management (ABM) to allocate costs more accurately and to identify non-value-adding activities. The first department to be analyzed is the customer care department, as it has been believed for some time that the current method of cost allocation is giving unrealistic results for the two product types. At present, the finance director (FD) absorbs the cost of customer care into the product cost on a per-unit basis using the data in table 1. He then tries to correct the problem of…

I know this has to do with oportunity cost and the associated risk, but I'm not sure how to make a detemrination.   This is question #4 on the attachement.  I alreay completed the first 3 questions. Pet Park is trying to improve its market position with respect to dog food and would ideally like to become more competitive in this area.  They have the opportunity to invest in a piece of equipment (cost: $3,000,000, useful life is 5 years with no salvage value) that would reduce variable costs of manufacturing the dog food line from $21/case to $18/case.  Pet Park believes that This would increase demand of their dog food to the extent that they could expect the total revenue split to be 60% (cat food) to 40% (dog food).  Should they do it? _____________________________________ Information: Pet Park International sells cat food and dog food. Its monthly fixed costs average $620,000. Cat food sales represent 80% of the company's total revenue. Dog food sales constitute the remaining…

Burger Office Equipment produces two types of desks, standard and deluxe. Deluxe desks have oak tops and more expensive hardware and require additional time for finishing and polishing. After reviewing the hardware and labor required along with the profit for each model, Burger Office Equipment found the following linear optimization model for profit, where S is the number of standard desks produced and D is the number of deluxe desks produced. Implement the linear optimization model on a spreadsheet and use Solver to find an optimal solution.

As a start-up company, Oriole Enterprises encourages its employees to think through the entire value chain to estimate whether it might be worthwhile to take a risk on new products. As part of that program, Sharon is reviewing a product concept that her intern presented to her. The basic idea is to use a common process, which would result in two intermediate products. One product could be sold right away (X). The other product (Y) would have no immediate sales value but after further processing would yield a very high- value product. Sharon is intrigued enough to dig further into her intern's quantitative analysis, as follows. Sales value of X immediately after the joint process Sales value of Y after further processing Product X's share of the joint process cost Proportion of joint cost allocated to Product Y (a) Your answer is correct. (b) Based on this information, determine which joint cost allocation method the intern must have used when allocating the joint costs to these…

I want to be sure about this question answer because for the first answer from one of Bartleby responser it was wrong and i had none check my work button left.I got one answer but ı want to be sure about that so i want to know answer for this question it does not need to be in very detailed way.

To accept the special order, it would have to reduce production of the history program.Compute the special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order   MSI has been approached by a fourth-grade teacher from Portland about the possibility of creating a specially designed game thatwould be customized for her classroom and environment. The teacher would like an educational game to correspond to her classroomcoverage of the history of the Pacific Northwest, and the state of Oregon in particular. MSI has not sold its products directly to teachersor school systems in the past, but its Marketing Department identified that possibility during a recent meeting.The teacher has offered to buy 2,000 copies of the CD at a price of $6.00 each. MSI could easily modify one of its existing educationalprograms about U.S. history to accommodate the request. The modifications would cost approximately…
