You purchased one corn future contract at $2.29 per bushel. What would be your profit (loss) at maturity if the corn spot price

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: Loss of $950

Explanation:

You bought the contract at $2.29 per bushel.

The corn contract at the time was actually $2.10.

You bought the futures contract for more than the spot price for the same time period so this is a loss.

Loss = Loss per unit * number of units

= (2.29 - 2.10) * 5,000

= 0.19 * 5,000

= $950

A test balance is used to detect any calculation error that may have occurred within the accounting system. For this, it is sought to verify if the total debits and the total credits are equal, for this the balance of all accounting books is compiled in column totals of both debit and credit. A company usually prepares a trial balance periodically, usually at the end of each reporting period.

In this case, to carry out the trial balance, you must first clarify the name of the company, the title of the trial balance and the date on which the trial balance is prepared, then proceed to list the ledger accounts and enter the debit and credit balances in the respective columns, then the columns are totalized and finally it is verified that the credit totals are equal to the debit totals

Longview Hospital performs blood tests in its laboratory. The following standards have been set for each blood test performed:

Julli [10]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard:

Direct materials 2.0 plates $2.75 per plate

Direct labor 0.2 hours $15.00 per hour

Variable manufacturing overhead 0.2 hours $7.00 per hour

Actual:

1,500 blood tests.

3,600 plates were purchased for $9,540

3,200 plates were used for blood tests

340 actual direct labor-hours were worked for $5,550

1)The materials price variance:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (2.75 - 2.65)*3,600= $360 favorable

2) The materials quantity variance:

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (2*1,500 - 3,200)*2.75

Direct material quantity variance= $550 unfavorable

3) The labor rate variance:

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Direct labor rate variance= (15 - 16.32)*340= $448.8 unfavorable

4) The labor efficiency variance:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1,500*0.2 - 340)*15

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $600 unfavorable

5) The variable overhead efficiency variance:

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (1,500*0.2 - 340)*7

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $280 unfavorable
