The activity variance for direct labor in May would be closest to <u>$166 Unfavorable</u>.

<h3>What is the activity variance?</h3>

The activity variance refers to the difference caused by different activity levels with regard to the static or planning budget and the flexible budget.

The planning budget is static in nature as it retains the same planned activity level.

On the other hand, the flexible budget flexes the budget according to the levels of activity.

Budgeted activity level = 5,900 units

Actual activity level = 5,940 units

                                     Fixed element  Variable element

                                        per month             per unit

Revenue                              $ 0                    $ 32.60

Direct labor                         $ 0                      $ 3.90

Direct materials                  $ 0                       $12.10

Manufacturing overhead 33,400                      1.80

Selling & administrative  28,300                     0.40

Total expenses             $ 61,700                 $ 18.20

Actual results for May:

Revenue      $ 200,564

Direct labor    $ 22,786

Direct materials $ 73,824

Manufacturing overhead $ 43,922

Selling and administrative expenses $ 31,896

Direct labor cost using the planning budget = $23,010 ($3.90 x 5,900)

Direct labor cost based on the flexible budget = $23,166 ($3.90 x 5,940)

Activity Variance for direct labor = planning budget - flexible budget

= $166 ($23,010 - $23,166).

Thus, Piechocki Corporation's May activity variance is closest to <u>$166 Unfavorable</u>.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

$12,000 and $6,000

Explanation:

For computing the dividend, first we have to find out the yearly dividend which is shown below:

= Number of shares × par value per share × dividend rate  × number of years

= 1,000 shares × $100 × 6%  × 2 years

= $12,000

Out of $18,000, the $12,000 will be paid to preferred stockholders and the remaining $6,000 will be paid to common stockholders

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Consider the calculations below

Explanation:

(1) Nominal GDP, year 2 ($) = Sum of (Year 2 price x Year 2 quantity)

= 187.5 + 74,250

= 74,437.50

(2) Real GDP, year 2 ($) = Sum of (Year 1 price x Year 2 quantity)

= 1 x 125 + 45 x 825

= 125 + 37,125

= 37,250.00

LO 4.5Why are the overhead costs first accumulated in the manufacturing overhead account instead of in the work in process inven
vivado [14]

Answer  Explanation:

For the manufacturing overhead occurs during the manufacturing process but unlike wages, the actual values are unknow thus, we cannot anticipate in a guarantee amount. Hence, the cost accounting works as follows:

It will stablish a predetermined overhead rate which will be charged against WIP based on another factor which can be measure (like working hours, machine hours, among others)

Then, during the period as the actual cost occurs they will be charged into manufacturing overhead account.

At the end of the period, we will be able to determinate the actual cost and adjust COGS, WIP and FINISHED GOOD if needed to represent the actual cost of the inventory produced.
