$2,820 favorable

Calculation to determine direct materials quantity variance

Using this formula:

Direct materials price variance = (Actual materials cost per lb. - Standard materials cost per lb.) × Actual quantity lb

Direct materials price variance = ($5.40 - $6.00) × 4,700 lbs.

Direct materials price variance = (-$0.60) × 4,700 lbs.

Direct materials price variance = $2,820 favorable

Therefore the direct materials price variance is $2,820 favorable.

Direct material costs:

are the costs of raw materials or parts that go directly into producing products. For example, if Company A is a toy manufacturer, an example of a direct material cost would be the plastic used to make the toys.

Why is direct materials important?

Direct materials is an important concept in throughput analysis, where throughput is the revenue generated by a product sale, less all totally variable costs. In most situations, the only totally variable costs associated with a product are its direct materials.

What do you mean by actual cost?

In accounting, Actual Cost refers to the amount of money that was paid to acquire a product or asset. This could be the historical, past, or present-day cost of the product

What do you mean by standard cost?

A standard cost is the budgeted cost of a regular manufacturing process against which actual costs are compared. Of course, if a new product, service, or process is to be carried out, the initial standard costs will have to be estimated.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

4%

Explanation:

Interest included in $918000 is for six months from 10/1/18 to 4/1/12.

Interest for first three month period from 10/1/18 to 31/12/18 = $9000.

This implies that :

Interest from 1/1/19 to 4/1/19 = $9000.

Principal amount excluding interest due:

= Baker's obligation amount - Accrued interest - Accrued interest

= $918,000 - $9,000 - $9,000

= $900,000

Interest rate:

= [($9,000 × 12/3) ÷ 900000] × 100

= 4%

Calculate the EBIT for a firm with $4 million total revenues, $3.5 million cost of goods sold, $500,000 depreciation expense, an
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

Given that,

Total revenues = $4,000,000

Cost of goods sold = $3,500,000

Depreciation expense = $500,000

Interest expense = $120,000

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT):

= Total revenues - Cost of goods sold - Depreciation expense

= $4,000,000 - $3,500,000 - $500,000

= $0

Therefore, the EBIT for a firm is $0.

choli [55]

Answer:

The value of the investment would be $16,035.87 in 12 quarters from now

Explanation:

The value of $2,500 after four quarters can be determined with the below formula:

FV=PV*(1+r/t)^N*t

FV is the future value of the investment, the unknown

PV, the present value of the investment is the amount invested.

r is the rate of return of 4%

t is the number of times interest is paid annually,4 times in this case

After the first four quarters, the worth of the investment is shown thus:

FV=$2500*(1+4%/4)^1*4

FV=$2500*(1+1%)^4

FV=$2,601.51

After that $5000 was added to $2,601.51 making $7,601.51 which was reinvested to yield the below:

FV=$7,601.51*(1+ in 4%/4)^1*4

FV=$7,601.51*(1+1%)^4

FV=$7910.16

Then $7,500  was added to $7,910.16 which turns $15,410.16

FV=$15,410.16*(1+4%/4)^1*4

FV=$15,410.16*(1+1%)^4

FV=$16,035.87

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The answer is well illustrated as below

Explanation:

Remember: Five factors affects the Pension Liability and Plan assets.

1 & 2. Expenses which includes service cost and interest cost

The increase in expense always increases the pension liability so the entry would be:

Dr Service cost  $27,100

Dr Interest Cost $30,300 ...... $303,000 Opening Pension Liability * 10%

Cr Pension Liability        $57,400

3. Actual return increases the Plan Asset

The Actual return on investment received would increase the Assets worth, which means the journal entry must be passed which would increase the Investment Value (Plan Asset). So the entry would be:

Dr Plan Asset $25,700

Cr Actual return $25,700

4. Contributions made increases the Plan Asset because it is an increase in the investment.

So the journal entry would be:

Dr Plan Asset $20,000

Cr Cash Asset        $20,000

5. The benefits paid to employees are decrease in both pension asset and the pension liability. (We had actually borrowed money from the employees and had invested that money so paying off the benefits actually decreases the pension liability and assets).

So the double entry would be:

Dr Pension Liability $17,700

Cr            Pension Assets $17,700
