Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. Predetermined overhead rate
= Total fixed overhead cost for the year / Budgeted standard direct labor hour
Predetermined overhead rate = $530,400 / 68,000
Predetermined overhead rate
= $7.8 per direct labor hour
2. i. Fixed overhead budget variance
= Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead
= $521,000 - $530,400
= $9,400 favourable
ii Fixed overhead volume variance
= Budgeter fixed overhead - Fixed overhead applied to work in process
= $530,400 - (66,000 × $7.8)
= $530,000 - $514,800
= $15,200 unfavorable
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
<u>First, we need to calculate the total unitary variable cost:</u>
Direct materials= 10
Manufacturing overhead= 5
Direct labor= 2
Selling and administrative= 5
Total unitary variable cost= $22
<u>Now, the contribution margin income statement:</u>
Sales= 5,000*38= 190,000
Total variable cost= 22*5,000= (110,000)
Total contribution margin= 80,000
Fixed Manufacturing overhead= (35,000)
Fixed Selling and administrative= (15,000)
Net operating income= 30,000
P - principle of the loan
FC - finance change or total interest
N - number of months the loan is force
FC = ($1,000 x .06 x 1)
FC = $60
Finance charge is $60.
