be:

10) Juenemann Kennel uses tenant-days as its measure of activity; an animal housed in
the kennel for one day is counted as one tenant-day. During December, the kennel

budgeting and its actual results for December:

13) Longview Hospital performs blood tests in its laboratory. The following standards
have been set for each blood test performed:
During May, the laboratory performed 1,500 blood tests. On May 1 there were no direct
materials (plates) on hand; after a plate is used for a blood test it is discarded. Variable
overhead is assigned to blood tests on the basis of standard direct labor-hours. The
following events occurred during May:
3,600 plates were purchased for $9,540
3,200 plates were used for blood tests
340 actual direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $5,550
The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.
The labor efficiency variance for May is:
A.$600 F
B.$600 U
C.$515 U
D.$515 F

A.1.1 days
B.0.9 days
C.84.3 days
D.87.3 days

18) Maddaloni International, Inc., produces and sells a single product. The product sells
for $160.00 per unit and its variable expense is $46.40 per unit. The company's monthly
fixed expense is $219,248.
Required:
Determine the monthly break-even in total dollar sales. Show your work!
19) ( The management of Kleppe Corporation is investigating automating a process by
replacing old equipment by a new machine. The old equipment would be sold for scrap
now for $19,000. The new machine would cost $180,000, would have a 9 year useful
life, and would have no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would
save $30,000 per year in cash operating costs.
Required:
Determine the simple rate of return on the investment to the nearest tenth of a percent.

20) ( The management of an amusement park is considering purchasing a new ride for
$400,000 that would have a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $40,000. The
ride would require annual operating costs of $190,000 throughout its useful life. The
company's discount rate is 12%. Management is unsure about how much additional
ticket revenue the new ride would generate-particularly because customers pay a flat
fee when they enter the park that entitles them to unlimited rides. Hopefully, the
presence of the ride would attract new customers.
Required:
How much additional revenue would the ride have to generate per year to make it an
attractive investment?

investment is 12%.
Required:
Determine the target cost per unit for the new product.
