Answer: An unfavorable variance can be used to detect a drop in estimated income early, and then solutions to the challenge can be identified.
Explanation:
An unfavorable variance is the difference between a company's projected expectation and the actual outcome of a financial activity of the company, where the actual outcome is less favorable than the projected expectation.
The information from an unfavorable variance can help alert a company to a negative outcome early, and the company's leadership can then find ways of solving the cause of the negative outcome.
Answer:
$183,200
Explanation:
Given that,
Direct labor = $86,000
Total current manufacturing costs = $381,000
Manufacturing overhead is applied to production:
= 130% of direct labor cost
= 1.30 × $86,000
= $111,800
Total manufacturing costs = Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead.
$381,000 = Direct material + $86,000 + $111,800
Direct material = $381,000 - $86,000 - $111,800
= $183,200
Therefore, the amount of direct materials used in production is $183,200.

Based solely on a difference of values between the counselor and the client.
Explanation:
Referral is defined as the situation were counselors make recommendations of where else a client might seek treatment.

Answer:
1. Going concern
2. Economic entity
3. Monetary unit
4. Periodicitys
Explanation:
1. Since Jumbo's Restaurant is planning to close, the assumption of continuity (going concern) is no more applicable. This should be disclosed. Instead asset was still recorded at historical price which is misleading.
2. Gorloks Tax Services is an economic entity, and the property and assets of owners are not considered to be for the business. In this case the boat Sam bought was wrongly reported as an asset of the company.
3. Claim Jumpers when reporting the 5 trucks purchased must include a monetary value for them. The assumption of monetary unit states that all items reported on the balance sheet must be expressed in monetary terms.
4. Cobbler's Etc violated the assumption of periodicity which states the financial position of the business must be declared in a particular accounting period. Accounting period can monthly, quarterly, biannually, and yearly. The business should choose and accounting period and ensure financial position is reported for each of them. In this case financial reporting is not consistent with reporting happening after 14 months and before that 18 months.
