Part b
Sales - Variable Cost = Contribution
Net Income = Contribution - Total Fixed Costs

Answer:
(-$10,000) Unfavorable
Explanation:
Direct materials:
Quantity = 15 pounds
Standard price = $16 per pound
Actual price = Purchase Price ÷ Purchase quantity
= 170,000 ÷ 10,000
= 17
Material price variance:
= Actual purchase quantity × (Standard price - Actual price)
= 10,000 × ($16 - $17)
= 10,000 × (-$1)
= (-$10,000) Unfavorable
Answer:
No Journal entries will be required in either instance. But a note to the financial statement would be appropriate in explaining the declining stake in Marmon Inc.
Explanation:
A. Total share valuation was $1,000,000. ($900,000 + $110,000) which is made up of Albuquerque's holdings and the non controlling interests. This is equivalent holding of 89% by Albuquerque.
*the investment would have been recognized at cost to Albuquerque at $900,000.
But when Marmon sold additional 10,000 shares the interest reduces to 63%
*This wouldn't necessitate any journal entry by Albuquerque as a result of the additional issues of shares but the % stake in Marmon would show to have reduced as a note in its financial records.
And when a further 2,000 was issued Albuquerque stake drops to 61%
* Again this wouldn't necessitate any journal entry by Albuquerque as a result of the additional issues of shares but the % stake in Marmon would show to have reduced as a note in its financial records.
