Answer:
$40,000 (U)
Explanation:
Given that,
Flexible-budget variance for materials = $2,000
Price variance for material = $38,000
Sales-volume variance = $13,000
Efficiency variance for direct manufacturing labor = $9,000 (F)
Flexible-budget variance for materials = Price variance for material + Efficiency variance for materials
2,000 (U) = 38,000 (F) + Efficiency variance for materials
Efficiency variance for materials = 2,000 + 38,000
= $40,000 (U)
Answer:
Operating loss will decrease by $20,000
Explanation:
Operating loss from normal business activities and if the division is not shut down = $150,000.
Operating loss if division is shut down by the management = $130,000 ($480,000 - $350,000) because the management has determined that $350,000 of the $480,000 Fixed Costs shown would be eliminated if that happens.
So, if the Northern Division is shutdown, the Operating loss will decrease by $20,000 (From $150,000 to $130,000)
Answer:
a. Transaction 1
It is not deductible so the Taxable income is $9,000
Transaction 2
It is deductible, taxable income would be;
= 13,500 * ( 1 - Tax)
= 13,500 * ( 1 - 20%)
= $10,800
b. Transaction 1
It is not deductible so the Taxable income is $9,000
Transaction 2
It is deductible, taxable income would be;
= 13,500 * ( 1 - Tax)
= 13,500 * ( 1 - 40%)
= $8,100
