Robert treats coffee and creamer as perfect complements and has very specific requirements for the ratio of creamer to coffee. He will drink coffee only if he has exactly 5.00 packets of creamer for every cup of coffee. Coffee is priced at $3.00 per cup and creamer at $0.25 per packet. In the questions below, give your answers to two decimal places.

a. Suppose that Robert has $39.00 to spend on coffee and creamer. His optimal consumption bundle contains _______cups of coffee and _________
b. Now, suppose that the price of creamer rises to $0.50 per packet. What is the substitution effect of this price change?

Answer:

a. Robert's optimal consumption bundle contains 9.18 cups of coffee and 45.88 packets of creamer.

b. Zero packets of creamer is the substitution effect.

Explanation:

a. Suppose that Robert has $39.00 to spend on coffee and creamer. His optimal consumption bundle contains _______cups of coffee and _________

The consumption ratio can be stated as follows:

5 Creamer = 1 cup of coffee

Budget line has an equation can also be given as follows:

B = (Pm * Qm) + (Pf * Qf) ...................... (1)

Where;

B = Budget = The amount Robert has to spend on coffee and creamer = $39.00

Pm = Price of creamer = $0.25

Qm = Quantity of creamer = ?

Pf = Price of coffee = $3.00

Qf = Quantity of coffee = ?

39 = (0.25 * Qm) + (3 * Qf)

39 = 0.25Qm + 3Qf

Since "5 Creamer = 1 cup of coffee". This also implies thal 1 creamer = 1 / 5 cup of coffee. Therefore, we have;

39 = 0.25Qm + (3 * 1/5 * Qm)

39 = 0.25Qm + (3/5)Qm

39 = 0.25Qm + 0.60Qm

39 = 0.85Qm

Qm = 39 / 0.85

Qm = 45.88

Qf = 45 / 5 = 9.18

Therefore, Robert's optimal consumption bundle contains 9.18 cups of coffee and 45.88 packets of creamer.

b. Now, suppose that the price of creamer rises to $0.50 per packet. What is the substitution effect of this price change?

Since Robert treats coffee and creamer as perfect complements, this implies that there there is nothing like substitution effect under this condition.

Therefore, zero packets of creamer is the substitution effect.

A company currently using an inspection process in its material receiving department is trying to install an overall cost reduction program. One possible reduction is the elimination of one inspection position. This position test material has a defective content on the average of 0.04. By inspecting all items, the inspector is able to remove all defects. The inspector can inspect 50 units per hour. The hourly rate including fringe benefits for this position is $9. If the inspection position is eliminated, defects will go into product assembly and will have to be replaced later at a cost of $10 each when they are detected in final product testing.

Required:
a. If the inspector position is eliminated, what will the hourly cost of defects be?
b. Should this inspection position be eliminated?
c. What is the cost to inspect each unit?
d. Is there benefit (or loss) from the current inspection process? How much?

Adams Company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A is 2,300 units and of Product B is 1,700 units. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.3 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.6 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $105,475.
The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools--Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory--with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows:
Total Estimated
Overhead
Costs Expected Activity
Product A Product B Total
Activity 1 $32,592 1,600 1,200 2,800
Activity 2 18,564 2,300 800 3,100
General Factory54,319 690 1,020 1,710
Total $105,475
(Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.)
The overhead cost per unit of Product B under the traditional costing system is closest to:________.
a. $20.30
b. $14.62
c. $16.71
