Answer & Explanation :
Bank Reconciliation Statement is prepared to reconcile (match) the differences between bank balance as per cash book & bank balance as per pass book, at end of an accounting period.
The differences may arise because of following reasons :
- Errors committed by firm or bank
- Cheques paid but not collected, upto the last date (added in cash book, but not in bank balance)
- Cheques issued but not yet presented for payment, upto last date (subtracted in cash book, but not in bank balance)
- Direct expenses & direct incomes settled by bank (done in bank balance, but not in cash book)
BRS involves starting with balance as per any book - cash book or passbook. Then, the adjustments for mismatch are done, to arrive at correct balance as per the other book.
Answer: a) unfavorable direct labor price (rate) variance of $2,085.
Explanation:
The purpose of calculating variance is to see if a company is being efficient in it's production of goods and services or in it's general affairs. The variance is calculated by subtracting the actual amount that was used to do something from it's budgeted amount.
If the actual amount is higher then the Variance is said to be Unfavourable. The reverse holds true.
Calculating the Direct Labor price (rate) Variance will give us,
Direct Labor Price (rate) Variance = (Actual Price - Standard price)*Actual Hour
NB - Figures are given for 30 minutes so need to be converted.
Direct Labor Price (rate) Variance = (111,285/9,100 *2 - 115,200/9,600 * 2 ) * 9100/2
= $2,085
Actual Price (rate) variance was higher than Standard Price (rate) variance which led to an Unfavourable balance of $2,085
Answer:
Additional tax the firm will owe: $3.15
Explanation:
Marginal tax rate is calculated by following formula:
Marginal tax rate = Change in taxes paid/Change in income
Change in taxes paid = Marginal tax rate x Change in income
The firm increases its revenue by $100 while increasing its cost of goods sold by $85.
Change in income = $100 - $85 = $15
Additional tax the firm will owe = $15 x 21% = $3.15
