which of the following would be true?

expenses, then total net operating income should be closest to:

3) Roddey Corporation is a specialty component manufacturer with idle capacity.
Management would like to use its extra capacity to generate additional profits. A
potential customer has offered to buy 2,900 units of component GEE. Each unit of GEE
requires 3 units of material R39 and 8 units of material I59. Data concerning these two
materials follow:
Material R39 is in use in many of the company’s products and is routinely replenished.
Material I59 is no longer used by the company in any of its normal products and
existing stocks would not be replenished once they are used up.
What would be the relevant cost of the materials, in total, for purposes of determining a
minimum acceptable price for the order for product GEE?
A) $224,605
B) $196,765
C) $228,204
D) $193,285
4) The net cash provided by (used in) operating activities last year was:
A.$105,000

5) If a cost object such as a product or customer has a positive red margin, then:
A.its green margin will be positive.
B.its green margin may be positive, negative, or zero.
C.its green margin will be negative.
D.its green margin will be zero.
6) Up to how much should the company be willing to pay to obtain enough of the
constrained resource to satisfy demand for the two existing products?
A.$20.40 per minute
B.$3.60 per minute
C.$54.00 per minute
D.$6.80 per minute
Therefore, production of product E25Y would be 3,270 minutes / 15 minutes per unit of
E25Y = 218 units of E25Y. This means that there still exists unsatisfied demand for 302
units ( = 520 units – 218 units) of product E25Y. When used to produce this product,
each minute is worth $3.60. Therefore, the company should be willing to pay up to
$3.60 per minute to obtain more of the constrained resource.

D.$792 F
10) Odonell Corporation estimates that its variable manufacturing overhead is $11.20
per machine-hour and its fixed manufacturing overhead is $563,640 per period.
