Answer:

Direct material Price variance = $207,000 Favorable

Direct material quantity variance = -$72,500 Unfavorable

Direct labor Rate variance = -$7,350 Unfavorable

Direct efficiency variance = $5,880 Favorable

Explanation:

The computation of material and labor variances is shown below:-

Direct material Price variance = (Standard rate - actual rate) × Actual quantity

= ($1.45 - $1.30) × 1,380,000

= $0.15 × 1,380,000

= $207,000 Favorable

Direct material quantity variance = (Standard quantity - actual quantity) × standard rate

= ((190,000 × 7) - 1,380,000) × $1.45

= (1,330,000 - 1,380,000) × $1.45

= -50,000 × $1.45

= -$72,500 Unfavorable

Direct labor Rate variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) × Actual hour

= ($14.00 - $15.50) × 4,900

= -$1.5 × 4,900

= -$7,350 Unfavorable

Direct efficiency variance = (Standard hours - actual hours) × Standard rate

= ((190,000 × 0.028) - 4,900) × $14.00

= (5,320 - 4,900) × $14.00

= 420 × $14.00

= $5,880 Favorable

The favorable variance is the variance in which the standard is more than the actual one and the unfavorable variance is the variance in which the standard is less than the actual one

Freeman Motors, a motorcycle manufacturer, had the following contingencies. Determine the appropriate accounting treatment for

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

a. Freeman estimates that it is reasonably possible but not likely that it will lose a current lawsuit. Freeman's attorneys estimate the potential loss will be $4,500,000.

Describe the situation in a note to the financial statements.

Since the event is possible but not likely, it should be disclosed in the footnotes of the financial statements.

b. Freeman received notice that it was being sued. Freeman considers this lawsuit to be frivolous.

Do not disclose.

Since this is a frivolous lawsuit, there is no need to disclose it.

c. Freeman is currently the defendant in a lawsuit. Freeman believes it is likely that it will lose the lawsuit and estimates the damages to be paid will be $75,000.

Record an expense and a liability based on estimated amounts.

Since the negative outcome is probable and you were able to quantify your losses, you must record the expense for $75,000 and include the amount as a current liability.

You are interested in valuing a 2-year semi-annual corporate coupon bond using spot rates but there are no liquid strips availab

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

Assume that $r_1$ will be a 12-month for the spot rate:

$\to 1.25 \% \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(1.25\% \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to \frac{1.25}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(\frac{1.25}{100} \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to \frac{1.25}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(\frac{1.25}{2} +100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{( 0.625 +100)}{(\frac{2+r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{( 100.625)}{(\frac{2+r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}=98\\\\$

$\to 0.61875 + \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 -98 = \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}\\\\\to -97.38125= \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}\\\\\to (2+r_1)^2= \frac{402.5}{ -97.38125}\\\\\to (2+r_1)^2= -4.13\\\\ \to r_1=3.304\%$

Assume that $r_2$ will be a 18-month for the spot rate:

$\to 1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99+1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{3.300\%}{2})^2}+\frac{(1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to \frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99+\frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{\frac{3.300}{100}}{2})^2}+\frac{(\frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\$

$\to \frac{1.5}{2} \times 0.99+\frac{1.5}{2}\times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{\frac{3.300}{100}}{2})^2}+\frac{(\frac{1.5}{2} +100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 0.7425+0.75 \times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{\frac{3.300}{100}}{2})^2}+\frac{(0.75 +100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4925 \times \frac{1}{(1+0.0165)^2}+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4925 \times \frac{1}{(1.033)}+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\$

$\to 1.4925 \times 0.96+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4328+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4328-97= \frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}\\\\\to -95.5672= \frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}\\\\\to (1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3= -1.054\\\\\to r_2=3.577\%$

Assume that $r_3$ will be a 18-month for the spot rate:

$\to 1.25\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99+1.25\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+\frac{3.300\%}{2})^2}+1.25\%\times\frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+\frac{3.577\%}{2})^3}+(1.25\% \times \frac{\frac{100}{2}+100}{(1+\frac{r_3}{2})^4})=96\\\\$

to solve this we get $r_3=3.335\%$

Reginald owns a grocery and his clerks are on strike. Reginald is trying to operate the store with the help of his manager, but

Nata [24]

Answer:

merge law and equity

Explanation:

In resolving labour related or welfare issues the best way to do so will be to hear the grievances of the striking workers and try to find an equitable solution to the situation.

However if all reasonable avenues have been pursued and they still don't want to comply, then legal measures can be taken to make them work.

In this scenario Reginald should call the striking workers and try to come to an equitable solution for the business and workers where there will be a win-win.

If this does not work he can use the law to compel them to comply.

If an applicant has extensive training, numerous scholastic accomplishments, a high level of community involvement, and no work

Gala2k [10]

A functional/hybrid resume would be more suitable for this situation.

Chronological order is normally most supportive when itemizing work understanding, so a potential boss can see where you worked and for to what extent, so it isn't as simple to apply chronological order to your group inclusion or broad preparing.
