Answer:
-$303 Unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of spending variance is shown below:-
Spending variance = Flexible budget - Actual cost
= (23 × $329 + $2,990) - $10,860
= $7,567 + $2,990 - $10,860
= $10,557 - $10,860
= -$303 Unfavorable
Therefore for computing the spending variance we simply subtracted the actual cost from flexible budget.
Teel Printing uses two measures of activity, press runs, and book set-ups, in the cost formulas in its budgets and performance reports. The cost formula for wages and salaries is $7,850 per month plus $402 per press run plus $952 per book set-up. The company expected its activity in July to be 206 press runs and 113 book set-ups, but the actual activity was 203 press runs and 112 book set-ups. The actual cost for wages and salaries in July was $196,180.
The spending variance for wages and salaries in July would be closest to
Answer:
Spending variance $100 unfavorable
Explanation:
The spending variance is the difference between the standard cost allowed for the actual activity and the actual cost of the activity
$
Standard cost allowed for the actual activity
=7,850 + (402×203) + (952×112)= 196,080
Actual cost 196,180
Spending variance 100 unfavorable

You pay $20,800 to the Laramie Fund which has a NAV of $18.00 per share at the beginning of the year. The fund deducted a front-end load of 3.00%. The securities in the fund increased in value by 12% during the year. The fund's expense ratio is 1.50% and is deducted from year end asset values. What is your rate of return on the fund if you sell your shares at the end of the year
Answer:
6.92%
Explanation:
Beginning investment fund is $20,800.
Now, fund available= Beginning fund(1-front end load)
=20,800(1-0.03)=$20176
Now, the number of shares that can be brought with the available fund
[tex}\text{Number of shares}=\frac{\text{fund available}}{NAV_{beginning}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{20176}{18}[/tex]
=1120
Now calculating closing NAV
NAV(closing)=NAV(beginning)=(1+increased%)
=$18(1+12%)=18×1.12
=$20.16
Calculate year end asset value
Year end asset value =NAV(closing)×No. of shares
=$20.16×1120=$22579.2
Value of investment after deducting the expense ratio
Closing investment value = Year end asset value×(1-expense ratio)
=$22579.2×(1-1.5%)
=$22240.512
Now,
Return on the fund =[(closing investment value)-(Beginning investment fund)]÷Beginning investment fund
=(22240.512-20800)÷20800
=0.0692
or, 6.92%

The budgeted cost of goods sold for June would be
Answer:
The budgeted cost of goods sold for June would be $ 13,320,000
Explanation:
Budgeted cost per unit = $30
Sales budget = 370,000 units
Less: Beginning inventory = 86,000 units
Add: Ending inventory = 160,000 units
Therefore budgeted cost of goods sold for June = (370,000 - 86,000 + 160,000) × $30
= 444,000 × $30
= $13,320,000

Company A sells paper coffee cups to all Caribou Coffee locations in the US. Company B sells dinner plates to Applebee’s. Company A charges $1 for a pack of 100 cups and Company B charges $3 for 1 dinner plate. Tell us exactly what information you would need to determine whether Company A or Company B has higher annual revenue and explain how you would calculate these two figures.
Answer:
Company A and Company B
Determination of annual revenue:
a) The information needed to determine which company has higher annual revenue include:
i) The annual quantities of packs of paper coffee cups sold to the Caribou Coffee locations in the US for a number of years.
ii) The annual quantities of dinner plates sold to Applebee's for the same years as above.
b) The annual revenues can be calculated by multiplying the price for a pack of 100 cups by the annual quantity sold.
Explanation:
Revenue is a function of price and quantity sold. The price is unit selling price and the quantity depends on the period for which revenue is being computed.
Revenue is the earnings from the sale of goods and services. The excess of revenue over cost of sales gives the gross profit, from which expenses would be deducted to arrive at net income after adding other incomes from non-operational activities.
Lidell Inc. budgeted production of 48,000 personal journals in 20Y6. Each journal requires assembly. Assume that three minutes are required to assemble each journal. If assembly labor costs $13 per hour, determine the direct labor cost budget for 20Y6. Do not round your intermediate calculations but, if required, round your final answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
Direct labor cost= $31,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 48,000 units
Standard time= 3 minutes per unit
Rate= $13 per hour
First, we need to calculate the number of hours required:
The proportion of minuted per hour= 3/60= 0.05
Number of hours= 48,000*0.05= 2,400 hours
Now, the direct labor cost:
Direct labor cost= 2,400*13= $31,200
The president of Ravens Inc. attended a seminar about the contribution margin model and returned to her company full of enthusiasm about it. She requested that last year’s traditional model income statement be revised, and she received the following report: Division Total Company A B C Sales $ 484,000 $ 188,000 $ 128,000 $ 168,000 Variable expenses 268,000 112,000 66,000 90,000 Contribution margin $ 216,000 $ 76,000 $ 62,000 $ 78,000 Fixed expenses 172,000 54,000 68,000 50,000 Net income (loss) $ 44,000 $ 22,000 $ (6,000 ) $ 28,000 The president was told that the fixed expenses of $172,000 included $94,500 that had been split evenly between divisions because they were general corporate expenses. After looking at the statement, the president exclaimed, "I knew it! Division B is a drag on the whole company. Close it down!"
Evaluate the President's remark.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The president remark in case of the allocated fixed expenses should be ignored the misleading result as it is seen that the division B has suffered a loss of $6,000 due to which the president exclaimed "I knew it!.
Moreover the president ignored the given information i.e $172,000 included $94,500 that had been split evenly between divisions as they are classified as a general corporate expenses
So if it is split evenly the general corporate expenses for division B is $31,500 which is come from by dividing the $94,500 from 3 divisions
And if we do not allocated the expenses so all divisions would come in profit
Job 397 was recently completed. The following data have been recorded on its job cost sheet. Direct materials $59,400 Direct labor-hours 1,254 DLHs Direct labor wage rate $11 per DLH Number of units completed 3,300 units The company applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $37 per direct labor-hour. Required: What's the unit product cost that would appear on the job cost sheet for this job
Answer:
$36.24

= ($59,400 + (1254 × $11) + (1254 × $37)) ÷ 3,300
= ($59,400 + $13,794 + $46,398) ÷ 3,300
= $119,592 ÷ 3,300
= $36.24
Therefore for computing the units product cost we simply applied the above formula.
The Nandina Corporation was formed and began operations on July 1, 2018, and incurred the following expenses during the year: State fees for incorporation $800 Legal and accounting fees incident to organization 1,500 Legal fees for the issuance of stock 600 Temporary directors’ fees 1,000 If the corporation chooses not to expense but rather amortizes organizational costs over 180 months, what is the amount of its amortization expense for 2018?
Answer:
$110.00
Explanation:
Nandina Corporation
The amount of amortization expenses for 2018
State fees for incorporation $800
Legal and accounting fees incident to organization 1,500
Temporary directors’ fees 1,000

$3,300/180 months x 6 months
= $110.00
Therefore the amount of its amortization expense for 2018 will be $110.00
Which of the following would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve right? a. both an increase in the capital stock and an increase in the price level b. an increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level c. an increase in the money supply, but not an increase in the capital stock d. neither an increase in the money supply nor an increase in the capital stock
Answer:
b. an increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level.
Explanation:
In order to understand both short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy movement from short to long run, we need the aggregate supply and aggregate demand model.
An increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve right.
The long-run aggregate supply curve would shift rightward when immigration from foreign countries rises or technology improves.
When the price level rises, the wealth effect and the interest-rate effect provide incentives for consumers to spend less. The price level of goods and services in an economy influences the exchange rate, imports and exports

The Manufacturing Overheads = Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead = $ 1.70 + $ 2.90 = $ 4.6 per unit
For 6,800 units the the manufacturing overheads will be 4.6 * 6,800=$ 3120
We calculate the manufacturing overheads for 6800 by multiplying it with the
manufacturing overheads per unit.
The Refining Department of SweetBeet, Inc. had 79,000 tons of sugar to account for in July. Of the 79,000 tons, 49,000 tons were completed and transferred to the Boiling Department, and the remaining 30,000 tons were 50% complete. The materials required for production are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the refining process. The weighted-average method is used. Calculate the total equivalent units of production for direct materials.
Answer:
79,000 tons
Explanation:
When you use the weighted average method for determining equivalent units, the total number of equivalent units = units completed and transferred out + equivalent units in ending inventory.
In this case, since the materials are added at the beginning of the production process, all the units are 100% complete regarding direct materials.
Guarder Consulting enters into a contract with Smith Co. to restructure some of Smith's processes with a goal of cost savings. The contract states that Guarder will earn a fixed fee of $35,000 and earn an additional $10,000 bonus if Smith achieves $100,000 of cost savings. Guarder estimates a 55% chance that Smith will achieve $100,000 of cost savings. Assuming that Guarder determines the transaction price as the expected value of consideration, what transaction price will Guarder estimate for this contract
Answer:
The transaction price that Guarder will estimate for this contract is $40,500
Explanation:
In order to calculate what transaction price will Guarder estimate for this contract Assuming that Guarder determines the transaction price as the expected value of consideration, we would have to calculate the expected value of expected consideration as follows:
expected value of expected consideration=Fixed Fee + Additional Income
expected value of expected consideration=$35,000+($10,000*55%)
expected value of expected consideration=$35,000+$5,500
expected value of expected consideration=$40,500
The transaction price that Guarder will estimate for this contract is $40,500
In January 2020, Sunland Company, a newly formed company, issued 10300 shares of its $8 par common stock for $13 per share. On July 1, 2020, Sunland Company reacquired 1030 shares of its outstanding stock for $10 per share. The acquisition of these treasury shares decreased total stockholders' equity. increased total stockholders' equity. did not change total stockholders' equity. decreased the number of issued shares.
Answer:
The correct option is the acquisition of these treasury shares decreased total stockholders' equity.
Explanation:
Initially the total stockholders' equity is $133,900 ($13*10,300) which comprised of $82,400 common stock ($8*10,300) $51,500 paid in capital in capital in excess of par value.
By repurchasing 1,030 treasury stock at $10,the total stockholders' equity decrease by $10,300,which leaves a balance of $123,600 ($133,900-$10,300).
In other words,the first option is the correct choice of answer
Bonnie Jo purchased a used camera (five-year property) for use in her sole proprietorship. The basis of the camera was $3,000. Bonnie Jo used the camera in her business 60 percent of the time and used it for personal purposes the rest of the time during the first year. Calculate Bonnie Jo's depreciation deduction during the first year, assuming the sole proprietorship had a loss during the year. (Bonnie did not place the property in service in the last quarter.)
Answer:
$360
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation deduction during the first year is shown below:
= Basis of the camera × given percentage × weightage
= $3,000 × 60% × 20%
= $360
Since the 60% is used for business and 40% used for personal
And there is a recovery period of assets of 5 years so half year convention period applies
A well-known financial writer argues that he can earn 148 percent per year buying wine by the case. Specifically, he assumes that he will consume one $12 bottle of fine Bordeaux per week for the next 12 weeks. He can either pay $12 per week or buy a case of 12 bottles today. If he buys the case, he receives a 9 percent discount and, by doing so, earns the 148 percent. Assume he buys the wine and consumes the first bottle today. Calculate the EAR.
Answer:
EAR = 148%
Explanation:
calculating the EAR ( applying the formula for present value of annuity )
cost of case = 12 * 12 * ( 1 - 0.09 ) = 131.04
Pv = 131.04
cost per case = $12
no of weeks = 12 weeks
rate of the wine per ( IRR ) = IRR(57;56;55;;;;1)= 1.76319
rate of the wine per week = 1.76319%
therefore EAR = ( 1 + 0.0176319) ^52 - 1 = 148.15% ≈ 148%
