Becton Labs, Inc., produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared using an ela

borate distilling process. The company has developed standard costs for one unit of Fludex, as follows:
Standard Quantity Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 2.60 ounces $ 20.00 per ounce $ 52.00
Direct labor 0.60 hours $ 16.00 per hour 9.60
Variable manufacturing overhead 0.60 hours $ 4.50 per hour 2.70
overhead $ 64.30
During November, the following activity was recorded, relative to production of Fludex:
a. Materials purchased, 9,420 ounces at a cost of $49,926.
b. There was no beginning inventory of materials; however, at the end of the month, 1,600 ounces of material remained in ending inventory.
c. The company employs 40 lab technicians to work on the production of Fludex. During November, they worked an average of 61.50 hours at an average rate of $12.30 per hour.
d. Variable manufacturing overhead is assigned to Fludex on the basis of direct labor-hours. Variable manufacturing overhead costs during November totaled $5,658.
e. During November, 4,600 good units of Fludex were produced.
The company's management is anxious to determine the efficiency of the Fludex production activities.
Required:
1. For direct materials used in the production of Fludex, compute the price and usage variances.
2. For direct labor employed in the production of Fludex, compute the price and usage variances.

Answer:

1) Direct Materials

Price Variance = $138,474 (F)

Usage Variance = $82,800 (F)

2) Direct Labor

Direct Labor Price = $9,102  (F)

Direct Labor Usage = $4,800  (F)

Explanation:

Material Price Variance = ( Standard price - Actual price) * Actual Quantity purchased

                                      = ($20 - $5.30) *9,420

                                      = $138,474 (F)

Actual Price = $49,926/9,420 = $5.30

Material Usage Variance = ( Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity ) * Standard Price

                                         = ( 11,960 - 7,820 ) $20

                                        =$82,800 (F)

Standard Quantity = 2.60 *4,600 = 11,960

Actual Quantity used = 0+9,420-1,600 = 7,820

Direct Labor price Variance = ( Standard Rate - Actual Rate) * Actual Hours worked

                                             = ($16-$12.30) * 2,460

                                             = $9,102  (F)

Actual time = 61.50*40 = 2,460

Usage variance = ( Standard time - Actual time ) * Standard rate

                          = ( 2,760 - 2,460) $16

                         = $4,800  (F)

Standard time = 0.60 *4,600 = 2,760

Answer:

Annual payment = $4,143.66 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

P = $1,000,000

r = 12% = 0.12

n = 30

Find:

Annual payment

Computation:

Annual\ payment=P[\frac{(1+r)^n-1}{r} ] \\\\Annual\ payment=1,000,000[\frac{(1+0.12)^{30}-1}{0.12} ] \\\\ Annual\ payment=4143.66

Annual payment = $4,143.66 (Approx)

You are considering a project with an initial cost of $7,500. What is the payback period for this project if the cash inflows ar
Sliva [168]

Answer:

A. 3.21 years

Explanation:

In the payback, we analyze in how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:

In year 0 = $7,500

In year 1 = $1,100

In year 2 = $1,640

In year 3 = $3,800

In year 4 = $4,500

If we sum the first 3 year cash inflows than it would be $6,540

Now we deduct the $6,540 from the $7,500 , so the amount would be $960 as if we added the fourth year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it

And, the next year cash inflow is $4,500

So, the payback period equal to

= 3 years + $960 ÷ $4,500

= 3.21 years

In 3.21 yeas, the invested amount is recovered.
