Answer:
The budgeted overhead= $7,159.2
Explanation:
The budgeted Overhead cost can be determined as follow
The budgeted overhead= Fixed cost + variable cost
Fixed overhead cost = 170.00 + 4,310.00 + 2,340.00 = 6820
Variable cost per activity = ( 148.20 + 216.60)/57 = 6.4 per guest.
The budgeted cost equation = 6820 + 6.4 x
Where X represent the number of guest
The budgeted overhead = 6820 + (6.4 × 53)= $7,159.2
The budgeted overhead= $7,159.2

Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 6.90 pounds $ 2.60 per pound $ 17.94 Direct labor 0.30 hours $ 7.00 per hour $ 2.10 During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: 19,250.00 pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.40 per pound. 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.
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.

The actual price charged for Product R was $25 and for Product S was $20. Only $11 was charged for Product T to encourage more consumers to buy it, and actual sales revenue equaled $645,150 for this product. Required: 1. Calculate the sales price and sales volume variances for each of the three products based on the original budget. Sales price variance Sales volume variance Product R $ $ Product S $ $ Product T $ $ 2. Suppose that Product T is a new product just introduced during the year. What pricing strategy is Eastman, Inc., following for this product? Check My Work
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
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
Analysis reveals that a company had a net increase in cash of $22,750 for the current year. Net cash provided by operating activities was $20,500; net cash used in investing activities was $11,250 and net cash provided by financing activities was $13,500. If the year-end cash balance is $27,750, the beginning cash balance was: Multiple Choice $5,000. $17,750. $50,500. $45,500. $44,500.
Answer:
The correct answer = $5,000
Explanation:
First of all, let us find the difference between the total cash provided and the total cash used up within the period:
Total cash provided = operating activities + financing activities
Total cash provided = 20,500 + 13,500 = $34,000
Total cash used up = investing activities = $11,250
Retained balance from the activities of the period = Total cash provided - Total cash used up
= 34,000 - 11,250 = $22,750
Retained balance from the activities of the period = $22,750
However, we are told that the year-end cash balance = $27,750. This means that the excess cash on the retained balance from operating activities within the period is from the beginning cash balance, and this is calculated as follows:
year-end cash balance = Retained balance from the activities + beginning cash balance
27,750 = 22,750 + beginning cash balance
∴ beginning cash balance = 27,750 - 22,750 = $5,000
∴ beginning cash balance = $5,000
Vaughn Manufacturing purchased the assets of Ivanhoe Company at an auction for $5465000. 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
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

4. Record the depreciation expense and any other adjustments related to the vehicle on December 31, 2022. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
Amount should be capitalized for new vehicle = Cost + Painting and new logo cost + Deluxe Roof rack and trailer hitch
= $15,600 + $6,600 + $2,900
= $25,100
We took the cost of painting and deluxe roof and trailer hitch costs into account as they are supposed to increase the vehicle's future benefits.
Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Number of Years
= ($25,100 - $6,300) ÷ 5
= $3,760 per year
In the year 2022 vehicle is used only for 6 months (July to Dec), depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 is
= $3,760 × 6 ÷ 12
= $1,880
So, the Journal entry is
Depreciation expense Dr, $1,880
To Accumulated Depreciation $1,880
(Being depreciation provided for the year 2022 is recorded)
Therefore for recording the depreciation provided for the year 2022 we simply debited the depreciation expenses while we credited the accumulated depreciation.
The journal entry will include a depreciation account as well as accumulated depreciation.
What is depreciation?Depreciation can be defined as the amount deducted from the asset because of the wear and tear of the asset after its use Which will reduce the price of the asset.
Capitalization for a new car should be calculated as follows: Cost + Painting and Logo Cost + Deluxe Roof Rack and Trailer Hitch
= $15,600 + $6,600 + $2,900
= $25,100
We factored in the price of the painting, a luxurious roof, and a trailer hitch because such expenses should raise the car's potential future value.
Depreciation is calculated as (Cost - Salvage Value) x Years.
= ($25,100 - $6,300) ÷ 5
= $3,760 annually
For the year ending December 31, 2022, the depreciation expense for the automobile operated for only 6 months (July to December) is
= $3,760 × 6 ÷ 12
= $1,880
The journal entry is therefore
depreciation costs (dr.) $1,880
accumulated depreciation $1,880

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
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
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
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.

Assume you are going to receive a payment of $1,000 in 5 years. You'd like to know what that cash flow would be worth in 2 years. To calculate the answer, you use the given interest rate to obtain an equivalent cash flow expressed in year 2 dollars. This is an example of calculating a...
Answer:
The multiple choices are as follows:
Group of answer choices:
A. Present Value
B. Future Value
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.
Also,future value is not correct since future value of $1,000 is already provided in the question
The stock of Cooper Corporation is 70% owned by Carole and 30% owned by Carole's brother, Chris. During 2017, Chris transferred property (basis of $100,000 and FMV of $120,000) as a contribution to the capital of Cooper. During February 2018, Cooper adopted a plan of liquidation and subsequently made a pro rata distribution of the property back to Carole and Chris. At the time of the liquidation, the property had an FMV of $80,000. What amount of loss can be recognized by Cooper on the distribution of property?
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Since 100% of Cooper Corporation's stock were owned by Carole and Chris (who are siblings), then no one can recognize any loss or gain from the contribution of property (nor the distribution of property). Under section 351, no gain or loss can be recognized for the contribution of property in exchange for stocks in a controlled corporation.
Since the contribution was made through a carryover basis transaction less than 5 years before the liquidation, the distribution is carried out in the same way.
Cawley Company makes three models of tasers. Information on the three products is given below.Tingler Shocker Stunner Sales $296,000 $504,000 $200,000 Variable expenses 145,000 190,000 135,000 Contribution margin 151,000 314,000 65,000 Fixed expenses 114,840 225,160 92,000 Net income $36,160 $88,840 $(27,000) Fixed expenses consist of $290,000 of common costs allocated to the three products based on relative sales, as well as direct fixed expenses unique to each model of $29,000 (Tingler), $79,000 (Shocker), and $34,000 (Stunner). The common costs will be incurred regardless of how many models are produced. The direct fixed expenses would be eliminated if that model is phased out.James Watt, an executive with the company, feels the Stunner line should be discontinued to increase the company’s net income.
(a) Compute current net income for Cawley Company. Net income $ ______
(b) Compute net income by product line and in total for Cawley Company if the company discontinues the Stunner product line. (Hint: Allocate the $290,000 common costs to the two remaining product lines based on their relative sales.)

c1) Cawley should not eliminate the Stunner product line.
c2) Net income would decrease from $98,000 to $67,000 if the Stunner product line is eliminated.
Explanation:
a) The decision to be made is whether to eliminate a product line or not. In making such decisions, the relevant costs to be considered are avoidable costs. Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable and should not be taken into account.
b) Stunner makes a Net Income of $31,000 without the allocated common fixed expenses. This shows that the allocated common fixed expenses is actually causing Stunner to record Net Loss. And when Stunner is eliminated the company is not better off.
c) Allocation of Fixed Expenses based on Sales:
Tingler = 296/800 * $290,000 = $107,300 Plus direct cost of $29,000 = $136,300
Shocker = 504/800 * $290,000 = $182,700 Plus direct of of $79,000 = $261,700

The selling price of the company’s product is $50 per unit. Required:1. Assume that the company uses absorption costing:a. Compute the unit product cost.b. Prepare an income statement for the year.2. Assume that the company uses variable costing:a. Compute the unit product cost.b. Prepare an income statement for the year.
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

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.
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.
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
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
The area manager of the Red, White, and Brew Restaurants is considering two possible expansion alternatives. The required investments, expected controllable margins, and the ROIs of each are as follows:
Project Investment Controllable Margin ROI
Phoenix $120,000 $30,000 25%
Chicago $540,000 $50,000 9.25%
The Red, White, and Brew segment has currently $2,000,000 in invested capital and a controllable margin of $250,000.
1. Which one of following projects will increase the Red, White, and Brew division’s ROI?
O Both the Phoenix and Chicago optionsO Only the Phoenix optionO Only the Chicago optionO Neither the Phoenix nor the Chicago options
Answer:
Only the Phoenix
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
ROI of Red, White And Brew Segment = Controllable Margin ÷ Total Investment × 100
$250,000 ÷ $2,000,000 × 100 = 12.5%
ROI of Phoenix = 25%
ROI of Chicago = 9.25%
So only phoenix will increase the red, white and brew division’s ROI, Because Chicago ROI is less than ROI of Red, White and Brew Segment.

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
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.
