Answer:
Fixed overhead volume variance
= (Standard hours - Budgeted hours) x Standard fixed overhead rate
= (11,000 - 10,000) x $1.35
= $1,350(F)
The correct answer is A
Standard fixed overhead rate
= <u>Budgeted overhead</u>
Budgeted direct labour hours
= <u>$13,500</u>
10,000 hours
= $1.35 per direct labour hour
Explanation:
Fixed overhead volume variance is the difference between standard hours and budgeted hours multiplied by standard fixed overhead application rate. Standard fixed overhead application rate is the ratio of budgeted overhead to budgeted direct labour hours.
Answer:
b. Paid cash dividends of $13,200 to common stockholders.
Explanation:
Cash flows from financing is the cash gained or spent from raising capital or paying it's investors. It primarily measured flow of cash between a business and its owners and creditors.
Includes the following activities: paying dividends, obtaining loans, issuing and selling stock, repurchasing stocks, and paying long-term debt.
Positive cash flows from financing means the firm gets inflow of cash while negative flow means firm gives out cash.
Paying dividends to stockholders is a financing activity that involves outflow of cash from the firm to its owners.
The competitiveness of a good usually depends on two key factors: its price, and its quality. While poor quality goods are less competitive from a quality perspective but poor quality goods are usually cheaper to produce resulting to a lower final price. So overall, the lower the cost and the higher the quality the more competitive a good is.
Answer:
The correct option is a. $61.25.
Explanation:
Note: The correct cost function of the farmer is as follows:
C(Q) = 0.05Q^2 ……………….. (1)
Differentiating equation
MC = C’(Q) = 0.1Q
P = Expected price = (25% * $3) + (50% * $3.50) + (25% * $4) = $3.50 ……. (2)
Since profit is maximized when MC = P, we equate equations (1) and solve for Q which is the expected profit-maximizing quantity as follows:
0.1Q = 3.50
Q = 3.50 / 0.1 = 35
Substituting Q = 35 into equation (1), we have:
C(Q) = 0.05 * 35^2 = $61.25
R(Q) = Maximum expected revenue = P * Q = $3.50 * 350 = $122.50
The farmer's maximum expected profit = R(Q) - C(Q) = $122.50 - $61.25 = $61.25
Therefore, the correct option is a. $61.25.
