Bramble Inc., which produces a single product, has prepared the following standard cost sheet for one unit of the product. Direct materials (6 pounds at $3.10 per pound) $18.60 Direct labor (4 hours at $10.00 per hour) $40.00 During the month of April, the company manufactures 190 units and incurs the following actual costs. Direct materials purchased and used (2,200 pounds) $7,260 Direct labor (770 hours) $7,623 Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for materials and labor. Total materials variance $ Materials price variance $ Materials quantity variance $ Total labor variance $ Labor price variance $ Labor quantity variance $ Click if you would like to Show Work for this question: Open Show Work LINK TO TEXT LINK TO TEXT

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the material price variance is shown below:

= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)

= $7,260 × (2,200 pounds × $3.10 per pound)

= $440 unfavorable

b. The computation of the material quantity variance is shown below:

= Standard Price × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

= $3.10 × (2,200 pounds - (190 units × 6 pounds))

= $3,286 unfavorable

c. Total material variance  

= Material price variance + material quantity variance

= $440 unfavorable + $3,286 unfavorable

= $3,726 unfavorable

d. The computation of the labor price variance is shown below:

= Actual Hours × (Actual price - Standard Price)  

= $7,623 -  (770 hours × $10)

= $77 favorable

e. The computation of the labor quantity variance is shown below:

= Standard Rate × (Actual Hours - Standard hours allowed for actual units)

= $10 × (770 hours - (190 units × 4 hours)

= $100 unfavorable

Total labor variance

= Labor rate variance + labor quantity variance

= $77 favorable + 100 unfavorable

= $23 unfavorable

All of the material purchased was used to produce 2,500 units of Zoom. 450 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $4,500. Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month.

Answers

Answer:

1. Material Variances

Material Price Variance = $3,850 F

Material Quantity Variance = $5,200 U

2. Labor Variances

Labor Rate Variance = $1,350 U

Labor Efficiency Variance = $2,100 F

Explanation:

Calculation is as follows:

1. Material Variances

Material Price Variance = (Standard Price - Actual Price) x Actual units

Material Price Variance = ($2.60 - $2.4) x 19,250 pounds

Material Price Variance = $3,850 (favorable)

As the actual rate is less than standard rate the variance is favorable.

Standard Quantity = 2,500 x 6.9 = 17,250 pounds

Material Quantity Variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) x Standard Rate

Material Quantity Variance = (17,250 - 19,250) x $2.60

Material Quantity Variance = $5,200 (Unfavorable)

As the actual raw material quantity used is higher than standard raw material quantity the variance is unfavorable.

2. Labor Variances

Actual Labor Rate = 4,500/450 = $10/hour

Labor Rate Variance = (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) x Actual Hours

Labor Rate Variance = ($7 - $10) x 450

Labor Rate Variance = $1,350 (Unfavorable)

As actual rate is higher than standard rate thus the variance is unfavorable.

Standard Hours = 2,500 x 0.3 = 750

Labor Efficiency Variance = (Standard Hours - Actual Hours) x Standard Rate

Labor Efficiency Variance = (750 - 450) x $7

Labor Efficiency Variance = $2,100 (Favorable)

As the Standard Hours is more than Actual Hours the variance is favorable.

A mechanical engineer purchased a machine 1 year ago for $85,000 and is now seeing that it costs more to operate than anticipated. The engineer expected to use the machine for 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $22,000 and a salvage value of $10,000. Last year though, it cost $35,000 to maintain the machine and these costs are expected to increase to $36,500 this year and increase by $1500 each year after. The market value is now estimated to be $85,000-$10,000k, where k is the number of years since the machine was purchased. It is now estimated this machine will be useful for a maximum of 5 more years. Perform a replacement study now and determine the values of P, n, AOC, and S of this defender.

Answers

Answer:

P = -$75000

n = 5 years

AOC = $35000

and S = $10000

Explanation:

Considering that the machine that is expected to last 10 will only do for 5 years and that the market value is now $85000 - $10000

we can the say,

P = -($85000 - $10000)

= - $75000

n = 5 years which is the number of years it is expected to last

AOC = $35000

S = $10000 which is the savaged value on the machine

In the market for lock washers, a perfectly competitive market, the current equilibrium price is $5 per box. Washer King, one of the many producers of washers, has a daily short-run total cost given by TC = 190 + 0.20Q + 0.0025Q2, where Q measures boxes of washers. Washer King's corresponding marginal cost is MC = 0.20 + 0.005Q. How many boxes of washers should Washer King produce per day to maximize profit?

Answers

Answer:

The number of boxes of washers Washer King should produce per day to maximize profit = 960 boxes.

And the corresponding maximum daily profit = $2,114

Explanation:

The daily, short-run total cost of producing Q boxes of the product is given as

TC = 190 + 0.20Q + 0.0025Q²

The unit price of the product = $5.

Total revenue = (Unit Price) × (Quantity sold) = 5Q

Profit = (Revenue) - (Total Cost)

Profit = 5Q - (190 + 0.20Q + 0.0025Q²)

Profit = P(Q) = -190 + 4.8Q - 0.0025Q²

To maximize the profits, we just obtain the point where the profit function reaches a Maximum.

At the maximum of a function, (dP/dQ) = 0 and (d²P/dQ²) < 0

Profit = P(Q) = -190 + 4.8Q - 0.0025Q²

(dP/dQ) = 4.8 - 0.005Q

At maximum point,

(dP/dQ) = 4.8 - 0.005Q = 0

Q = (4.8/0.005) = 960 boxes

(d²P/dQ²) = -0.005 < 0 (hence, showing that the this point corresponds to a maximum point truly)

Hence, the number of boxes of washers Washer King should produce per day to maximize profit = 960 boxes.

The corresponding maximum profit is then obtained from

P(960) = -190 + (4.8×960) - 0.0025(960²)

Maximum daily profit = $2,114

Assume that the company uses variable costing:a. Compute the unit product cost.b. Prepare an income statement for the year.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials $6

Direct labor $9

Variable manufacturing overhead $3

Variable selling and administrative $4

Fixed costs per year:

Fixed manufacturing overhead$300,000

Fixed selling and administrative $190,000

During the year, the company produced 25,000 units and sold 20,000 units.

The selling price of the company’s product is $50 per unit.

The difference between the absorption costing and variable costing methods is that the first one includes the fixed manufacturing overhead to the product cost.

1) Absorption costing:

Unitary fixed overhead= 300,000/25,000= $12 per unit

Unitary product cost= 6 + 9 + 3 + 12= $30

Income statement:

Sales= 20,000*50= 1,000,000

COGS= (20,000*30)= (600,000)

Gross profit= 400,000

Total selling and administrative= (190,000 + 20,000*4)= (270,000)

Net income= 130,000

2) Variable costing method:

Unitary variable cost= 6 + 9 + 3= $18

Income statement:

Sales= 1,000,000

Variable cost= (20,000*22)= (440,000)

Contribution margin= 560,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead= (300,000)

Fixed selling and administrative= (190,000)

net income= 70,000

The company has calculated its target full product cost at $ 800 comma 000 per year. Fixed costs are $ 320 comma 000 per year and cannot be reduced. What is the target variable cost per unit assuming units sold are equal to units​ produced

Answers

Answer:

Target unitary variable cost= $240 per unit

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales in units= 2,000

Selling price= $470

Total cost= $800,000 per year

Fixed costs= $320,000 per year.

First, we need to calculate the total variable cost:

Total variable cost= total cost - total fixed costs

Total variable cost= 800,000 - 320,000

Total variable cost= 480,000

Now, we can calculate the target unitary variable cost:

Target unitary variable cost= 480,000/2,000

Target unitary variable cost=$240 per unit

According to the Core Reading, which of the following is NOT a threat presented by rising income inequality? Select one: a. Higher than optimal tax rates on the rich b. All of these are threats presented by rising income inequality. c. Falling support for globalization d. Unintended consequences of government policies to moderate the effects of stagnant wages e. Falling support for a market-based economy

Answers

Answer:

 Option B          

Explanation:

In simple words, Income inequality refers to the severe imbalance in wealth levels typically in the possession of a limited minority of a community with a large accumulation of wealth.

If wealth disparity exists, there is indeed a wide difference in the resources of one group of the society and that of another. Specific forms of discrimination and study of wage differences should be used to explain economic inequality.                      

          Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B .

Answers

Answer:

WACC =  8.41%

Explanation:

The weighted Average cost of Capital is the average cost of capital for the different sources of long-term capital available to a firm weighted according to the proportion each source of finance bears to the total capital in the pool..

After-tax cost of debt = (1- tax rate) × before tax cost of debt

                                   = (1-0.23)×  6% = 4.6%

Type                         Cost (%)               Weight               cost × weight

Answers

Answer:

$1,800,000

Explanation:

Given short term notes payable = $3,000,000

Total amount used to liquidate short term notes = $2,200,000

Balance = $3,000,000 - $2,200,000 = $800,000

The additional $1,200,000 which is borrowed from Country Bank will not increase the short term notes payable because it's a long term credit

The additional $1,000,000 cash used will now be added to the balance amount

Amount to be reported as current liabilities = $1,000,000 + $800,000

= $1,800,000

Therefore the amount of the short-term notes payable that should be reported as current liabilities on the December 31, 2019 balance sheet which is issued on March 5, 2020 is $1,800,000

C. Discounted Value

D. Annuity

E. Lump Sum

The correct option is C,discounted value

Explanation:

The worth of the cash flow which is $1,000 is given with reference to the worth in 5 years' terms,hence restating the cash flow to its worth in two years' time is discounting to its two years' worth.

The answer cannot be present value since the cash flow is not being discounted to today's equivalent amount.

Andy Anderson is the only supplier of email updates on avalanche conditions in the mountains above the two towns of Vanee and Keno. The marginal cost of producing these updates is zero (with zero fixed costs) and the inverse demand for these updates in Vanee is p = 42-q and p = 9-q in Keno. Suppose that in each of the two towns, all of the demand comes from one customer. Andy cannot identify which customer is which. To get around this, he creates two kinds of packages, one containing 42 updates and one containing 9. He allows his customers to simply buy one and only one of the kind of package that they prefer. What is the maximum price Andy could charge for the large package if he wants the Vanee customer to buy the package of 42 and the Keno customer to buy the package of 9?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

He will charge for smaller package Equal to consumer surplus of keno customer with q = 9  

Price of small package = 1 / 2 * 9 * 9

                                       =40.5

If veno willingness to pay for 9 updates is

= 1 / 2 * 9 * 9 + 9 * (42 - 9)

= 40.5 + 9 * 33

= 40.5 + 297 = 337.5

So he will get surplus of (337.5 - 40.5 = 297 by buying smaller package.

Veno willingness to pay for larger package = 1/2 * 42 * 42 = 882

To make veno buy larger package ,andy need to make sure that veno also get same CONSUMERs surplus by buying larger package.

So price for larger package = 882 - 297 = 585

i. Discuss the rationale of organizing an industrial strike in resolving employee dispute with the
state, focusing on the detrimental effects strikes has on various stakeholders in an economy.

Answers

Answer: The answer is provided below

Explanation:

Strike action, is a work stoppage, that is caused by mass refusal of employees to work and it usually takes place in response to the employee grievances.

Some of the reasons for strike include:

• Low wages: Employees engage in strik as a way to show their grievances to their employers that they're not well paid and want a pay rise.

• Poor communication with the organisation: Another reason for strikes is the lack of trust between employers and the trade unions. In cases whereby workers believe their employers aren't transparent with them, strike can take place.

• Employee debt: When employees are owed certain amount of money and the employer is not doing anything reasonable about paying, the workers may strike.

• Working conditions: Workers can engage in strike in order to seek for improvement in their working conditions. This may be probably because they need better equipments, medical facilities etc.

The detrimental effects that strikes has on various stakeholders in an economy are:

Effects on employers: Strike affects business and it is vital for employers to know their rights and keep up to date with the current labour laws and legislation. Strike leads to loss of revenue for the owner and if the strike continues.for a long time, it can badly affect the business.

Effects on employees: Striking employees who belong to a union are under the obligation to strike when the union wants. They can be at risk of losing their wages and benefits such as sick and holiday pay, medical aid insurance if the strike drags continues for an extended period of time.

Effect on the economy: The impact of strike will be felt by the economy in the immediate and long term future. Strike can harm a country’s investment and reputation internationally. The GDP growth will also be affected and consequences of higher wages in some sectors would lead to higher inflation.

Sales price variance = (Actual price - Budgeted price) * Actual units sold

Product R : ($25 - $26) * 123000 = $123000 unfavorable

Product S:($20 - $22) * 162700 = $325400 unfavorable

Product T: ($10 - $20) * 54000 = $540000 unfavorable

Sales volume variance = (Actual units - Budgeted units) * Standard price

Product R : (120000 - 123000) * 26 = $78000 favorable

Product S:(150000 - 162700) * 22 = $279400 favorable

Product T: (20000 - 54000) * 20 = $680000 favorable

Notes:

Actual units:

Product R = $3075000/ $25 = 123000

Product S = $3254000/$20 = 162700

Product T = $540000/$10 = 54000 units

On March 1 the price of a commodity is $1,000 and the December futures price is $1,015. On November 1 the price is $980 and the December futures price is $981. A producer of the commodity entered into a December futures contracts on March 1 to hedge the sale of the commodity on November 1. It closed out its position on November 1. What is the effective price (after taking account of hedging) received by the company for the commodity

Answers

Answer:

$1,014

Explanation:

The computation of effective price received by the company for the commodity is shown below:-

Here for computing the Effective price received first we need to find out the profit on future contract which is here below:-

Profit on future contract = Futures prices of Nov 1 - Dec Future prices Dec

= $1015 - $981

= $34

Effective price received = November Price + Profit on future contract

= $980 + $34

= $1,014

The effective price (after taking account of hedging) received by the company for the commodity is $1,014.

First step

Future contract profit:

Future contract profit= $1015 - $981

Future contract profit= $34

Second step

Effective price :

Effective price = $980 + $34

Effective price= $1,014

Inconclusion the effective price (after taking account of hedging) received by the company for the commodity is $1,014.

Molly is a 30% partner in the MAP Partnership. During the current tax year, the partnership reported ordinary income of $200,000 before any permitted deduction for guaranteed payments and distributions to partners. The partnership made an ordinary cash distribution of $20,000 to Molly and made guaranteed payments to partners Molly, Amber, and Pat of $20,000 each ($60,000 total guaranteed payments). How much will Molly's adjusted gross income increase as a result of these items

Answers

Answer:

$62,000

Explanation:

The partnership had a total ordinary income of $200,000. Then guaranteed payments were made to its three partners Molly, Amber and Pat of $20,000 each $20,000 x 3 = $60,000.

$200,000 - 60000

= $140,000

So the partnership adjusted income is reduced to $140,000, out of that amount, 30% belongs to Molly.

30/100 × 140,000

= $42,000

Molly's share of the partnership adjusted income is $42,000.

Molly's total earnings from the partnership are $62,000

= $20,000 + $42,000

= $62,000

An independent appraisal of the fair value of the assets is listed below: Land $1795000 Building 2840000 Equipment 2180000 Trucks 3180000 Assuming that specific identification costs are impracticable and that Vaughn allocates the purchase price on the basis of the relative fair values, what amount would be allocated to the Building

Answers

Answer:

$1,552,836

Explanation:

As the auction price is determined for whole company, which includes all the assets in the company. Auction price can be allocated to an asset based on its fair value ratio to total fair value of all assets.

As per given data

Fair Value of Assets

Land            $1,795,000

Building       $2,840,000

Equipment  $2,180,000

Trucks         $3,180,000

Total           $9,995,000

Auction price allocation = (Fair value / Total Fair value of all assets) x Auction price

Placing values in the formula

Building = ( $2,840,000 / $9,995,000) x $5,465,000

Building = $1,552,836

Explanation:

                                                      2017                2016

Net sales                                 $276,200        $231,400

Net earnings                             $27,820          $19,820

since we are using 2016 as a base year, the $231,400 in net sales represent 100%, so the trend percentage for 2017 = net sales 2017 / net sales 2016 $276,200 / $231,400 = 1.1936 = 119.4% or a 19.4% increase.

The base year's amount will always be 100% or 1, and the trend percentages will change relative to that year.

Goshford Company produces a single product and has capacity to produce 105,000 units per month. Costs to produce its current sales of 84,000 units follow. The regular selling price of the product is $126 per unit. Management is approached by a new customer who wants to purchase 21,000 units of the product for $77.40 per unit. If the order is accepted, there will be no additional fixed manufacturing overhead and no additional fixed selling and administrative expenses. The customer is not in the company’s regular selling territory, so there will be a $7.60 per unit shipping expense in addition to the regular variable selling and administrative expenses. Per Unit Costs at 84,000 Units Direct materials $ 12.50 $ 1,050,000 Direct labor 15.00 1,260,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 14.00 1,176,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 17.50 1,470,000 Variable selling and administrative expenses 14.00 1,176,000 Fixed selling and administrative expenses 13.00 1,092,000 Totals $ 86.00 $ 7,224,000 Calculate the combined total net income if the company accepts the offer to sell additional units at the reduced price of $77.40 per unit.

Answers

Answer:

Net income= $4,836,200

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Offer:

21,000 units for $77.4

An increase in variable cost= $7.6 per unit

Direct materials $ 12.50 $ 1,050,000

Direct labor 15.00 1,260,000

Variable manufacturing overhead 14.00 1,176,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead 17.50 1,470,000

Variable selling and administrative expenses 14.00 1,176,000

Fixed selling and administrative expenses 13.00 1,092,000

Totals $ 86.00 $ 7,224,000

First, we need to calculate the effect on the income of accepting the offer:

Effect on income= 21,000*77.4 - 21,000*(12.5 + 15 + 14 + 14 + 7.6)

Effect on income= 1,625,400 - 1,325,100

Effect on income= 300,300

Net income= 84,000*140 + 300,300 - 7,224,000

Net income= $4,836,200

With your team you are working on a project that is supposed to be completed in FOUR months. You planned that EACH MONTH you are going to spend $15000 on the work for the month. At the end of the FIRST month you have spent the expected amount of $15000, but you have completed only two thirds (2/3) of the work. Answer the following questions: a) What is the Earned Value at the end of the first month. b) Calculate the Cost Variance and the Schedule Variance c) Calculate the Cost Performance Index and the Schedule Performance Index d) Analyze the progress of the project. Is the project behind or on schedule

Answers

Answer:

(a). $10000.

(b). Cost variance and Scheduled variance = -$5000.

(c). 0.66 and 0.66.

(d). task is behind schedule and the task is over budget.

Explanation:

(a). Earned value at the end of the first month can be calculated by using the formula below;

= A × B.

Where A = first month budget and B = rate at which the work is getting completed.

Earned value at the end of the first month = 15000× (2/3)

Earned value at the end of the first month = $10000

(b). The Cost Variance and the Schedule Variance can be calculated using the formula below;

Cost variance = Earned value at the end of the first month - monthly budget

Cost variance= 10000 - 15000

Cost variance = -$5000

Also, the Scheduled variance = Earned value at the end of the first month - monthly budget

= 10000 - 15000

= - $5000

(c). The cost Performance Index and the Schedule Performance Index can be calculated by using the formula below;

Cost performnace index = 10000 / 15000

= 0.66

Schedule performance index = the amount Earned / the amount that was planned.

Schedule performance index = 10000 / 15000

= 0.66.

(d). Since both schedule performance index and the Cost performance index are less than one that is 0.66, task is behind schedule and the task is over budget respectively.

Direct Materials and Direct Labor Variances At the beginning of June, Bezco Toy Company budgeted 10,000 toy action figures to be manufactured in June at standard direct materials and direct labor costs as follows: Direct materials $10,500 Direct labor 4,800 Total $15,300 The standard materials price is $0.7 per pound. The standard direct labor rate is $12 per hour. At the end of June, the actual direct materials and direct labor costs were as follows: Actual direct materials $9,500 Actual direct labor 4,400 Total $13,900 There were no direct materials price or direct labor rate variances for June. In addition, assume no changes in the direct materials inventory balances in June. Bezco Toy Company actually produced 8,800 units during June. Determine the direct materials quantity and direct labor time variances. Round your per unit computations to two decimal places, if required. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

Answers

Answer:

Direct material quantity variance = -$260 Unfavorable

Direct labor time variance = -$176 Unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of the direct materials quantity and direct labor time variances is shown below:-

Direct material quantity variance = (Standard Direct material ÷ Company budgeted × Produced units) - Actual direct material

= ($10,500 ÷ 10,000 × 8,800) - $9,500

= ($1.05 × 8,800) - $9,500

= $9,240 - $9,500

= -$260 Unfavorable

Direct labor time variance = (Standard Direct labor ÷ Company budgeted × Produced units) - Actual direct labor

= ($4,800 ÷ 10,000 × 8,800) - $4,400

= $0.48 × 8,800) - $4,400

= $4,224 - $4,400

= -$176 Unfavorable

Therefore we have applied the above formula.

Carlinville Car Parts, Inc. has been provided by its lenders and owners with $46,000,000 to purchase assets. The most recent income statement showed Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT, or Operating Income) of $10,500,000, and net income of $3,950,000. Income tax was paid at a 25% average annual rate. What was Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) for the year?

Answers

Answer:

17%

Explanation:

The formula to calculate ROIC is:

ROIC= Net operating profit after tax/ Total invested capital

ROIC= EBIT*(1-Tax rate)/Total invested capital

ROIC= 10,500,000*(1-0.25)/46,000,000

ROIC= 7,875,000/46,000,000

ROIC= 0.17 → 17%

According to this, the answer is that the Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) for the year is 17%.
