Answer:The answer is $1,600 favourable

Explanation:

Material usage variance is equal to the difference between the standard quantity (SQ) required for actual production and the actual quantity used multiplied by the standard material price (SP) The material usage variance is calculated as

Material usage variance = ( SQ - AQ) SP

In the question, standard price = $4, Standard Quantity = 3000 unit, Actual Quantity = 5,600 gallons

Per unit standard for direct materials = 2 × 3000 = 6,000

Therefore, putting the variables into the formula

(6,000 - 5,600) × 4

= 400 × 4

= 1,600 Favourable

Answer:

$1,600 favorable

Explanation:

The computation of the material quantity variance is shown below:

= Standard Price × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

where,

Standard quantity = 3,000 units × 2 gallons = 6,000 gallons

And, other items values would remain the same

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= $4 × (6,000 gallons - 5,600 gallons)

= $4 × 400 gallons

= $1,600 favorable

A new machine comes with 200 free service hours over the first year. Additional time costs $150 per hour. What are the average a
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

(a) 0; 0

(b) $150 per hour; $16.67 per hour

(c) (b) $150 per hour; $53.57 per hour

Explanation:

(a) Number of hours = 125

Marginal cost = 0 (since service is cost less upto 200 hours)

Average cost = 0

(b) Number of hours = 225

Marginal cost = $150 per hour

Total cost = $150 × (225 - 200)

                = $150 × 25

                = $3,750

Average cost = Total cost ÷ Number of hours

                       = $3,750 ÷ 225

                       = $16.67 per hour

(c) Number of hours = 325

Marginal cost = $150 per hour

Total cost = $150 × (325 - 200)

                = $150 × 125

                = $18,750

Average cost = Total cost ÷ Number of hours

                       = $18,750 ÷ 325

                       = $53.57 per hour

Parton Company, a manufacturer of snowmobiles, is operating at 80% of plant capacity. Parton's plant manager is considering maki
ira [324]

Answer:

The answer is: a

Explanation:

The Parton Company has a 'make or buy' decision. This decision involves analysing the incremental costs associated with each option. Incremental costs are costs incurred as a result of producing one more unit of a product. If the excess capacity can be utilised to produce the headlights at a lower cost than the cost of acquiring the headlights from an external supplier, then the company should produce the headlights.  

The Parton Company incurs $12.80 per headlight purchased from the external supplier. Added to this cost, are the existing costs of operating below plant capacity. If making the headlights in the manufacturing plant yields a positive contribution to fixed costs, then the Parton company should produce the headlights in the manufacturing plant.

By producing the headlights, the Parton company gains a contribution to fixed costs of $1.03 per headlight.

Foregone purchase costs from supplier:                          $12.80

Incurred costs (directly) from production:                        ($11.77)

Direct materials                                                                     ($4.45)

Direct Labour                                                                         ($3.45)

Manufacturing Overheads: $(6.45*0.6)                               <u>($3.87)</u>

Net gain per headlight                                                           <u> </u><u>$1.03</u>

LO 2.1Explain how the income statement of a manufacturing company differs from the income statement of a merchandising company.
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Revenue: The revenue of Manufacturing company comes from the sale of the products that they manufacture. However the merchandising company purchases goods from manufacturing companies and distribute them to make it easier for the customer to access the product and earn a profit on it which increases the cost of the product to end consumer. The contract between the manufacturing and merchandising company can be an agreement of principal and agent. In this case, the revenue for the merchandising company would be commission earned from manufacturing company. This commission paid to merchandising company will be cost to manufacturing company.

Cost of Sale: Now the raw material costs plus depreciation of production machinery plus direct labour plus variable Overhead cost plus if their is any commission paid for sale of finished goods will be the cost of sale for manufacturing  company. Whereas in the case of Merchandising company, the cost of sale will be only the cost of goods they sold in the year. The depreciation charge will be minor in merchandising company as they don't have any production machineries.

These the are major difference between manufacturing and merchandising company.
