Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

std rate $30.64
efficiency variance $6,128.00

Explanation:

We will work the rate variance to obtain the standard rate:

$(standard\:rate-actual\:rate) \times actual \: hours DL \: rate \: variance$

actual rate $29.20

actual hours 11,700

difference $1.44

rate variance $16,800.00

$(standard\:rate-29.2) \times 11,700 = 16,700$

$(standard\:rate= 16,700 \div 11,700 +29.2$

std rate $30.64

Now we can solve for the labor efficiency variance:

$(standard\:hours-actual\:hours) \times standard \: rate = DL \: efficiency \: variance$

std hours 11700

actual hours 11500

std rate $30.64

difference 200

efficiency variance $6,128.00

The diference is positive, sothe variance is favorable.

Can you breifly explain why stockholders' investment and revenues increase stockholders' equity, while dividends and expenses de

Scilla [17]

From an accounting standpoint, stockholders' investment and revenues increase the assets of the company without adding to the liabilities. Therefore according to the equation (A = L + E), equity must increase.

Similarly, issuing dividends and paying expenses pays cash out of the company, which decreases assets without changing liabilities. Therefore equity must decrease.

Another way to think of it is: what contributes to the company's profit and/or value, and what decreases these things? Well, revenues and people investing in the company are good (and therefore good for stockholders), and giving cash out and paying expenses are costs to the company (and therefore decrease value for stockholders).
