Answer:
1. Her return on investment is 20%
2. $40,000
Explanation:
1. We have Return on Investment = Net income from the Investment / The invested amount.
The net income is clearly stated in the Question which is the after-tax profit at $20,000.
The invested amount of Amelia is the amount she invested in Goodies Gift Shop which is illustrated as net worth ( owner's equity) at $100,000 in the Balance Sheet (Year 2).
As we have Return on Investment = 20,000/100,000 = 20%
2. We have the projected pre-tax profit = Projected margin - total overhead = 250K - 200K = $50,000
The after-tax profit = pre-tax profit x (1- tax rate) = 50K x (1-20%) = $40,000
Answer:
The consumer price index is used to measure the quantity of goods and services that the economy is producing.
Explanation:
CPI or consumer price index is a measure of changes in the average prices of a basket of products and services in a given time. The selected goods and services are a fair representation of consumption expenditure in the economy. Economists use the CPI as a Macroeconomic indicator of inflation.
As a measure of inflation, the CPI statistics communicate increases or decreases in the prices of goods and services in the economy. It forms a basis for policy decisions by the government that aid in the prevention of reduced purchasing power of the dollar. CPI is all about changes in prices and nothing to do with the production of goods and services.
Answer:
$2,400 U
Explanation:
Labor efficiency variance is a financial metric that assesses a company’s ability to efficiently use labor per the expectations. The variance is worked out as the difference between the actual labor hours utilized and the standard amount that ought to have been used, multiplied by the standard labor rate.
In Clark Manufacturing:
It is given that:
Number of hours required to produce one product = 2 hours
Standard Labor rate(SLR) per hour = $12
Actual Labor rate(ALR) per hour = $12.20
Units of products produced = 2000
Number of hours required(SLH) to produce 2000 units = 4,000 hours
Actual Labor Hours(ALH) used =4,200 hours
Labor Efficiency Variance =(ALH - SLH) *SLR
= (4200-4000) *12
200*12 = $2,400 U
U means unfavorable. This variance is unfavorable because the labor cost exceeded the standard or budgeted labor cost.
Answer:
Explanation:
Overhead allocated to Product X = Department A overhead cost+ Department B overhead cost
= $51,157.84+$5755.62=
= $56,913
Calculations:
Using a single-driver allocation system, with direct labor hours as the driver, how much overhead was allocated to Product X:
Department A's Overhead rate per labor hour = Overhead costs/Total direct labor hours = $4300000/60000 hours = $71.66 per hour
Overhead (Department A) = $71.66per hour*724 labor hours
= $51,157.84
Department B's Overhead rate per labor hour = Overhead costs/Total direct labor hours = $2200000/60000 hours = $36.66 per hour
Overhead (Department A) = $36.66 per hour*157 labor hours
= $5755.62
