Answer:$2,125 unfavorable

Explanation:

Given

Standard costs 9,000 hours at $5.50

Actual costs 8,500 hours at $5.75

we have two formulas to calculate for direct labor rate variance is:

1ST ----Direct Labor rate variance = (Actual Rate- Standard Rate ) x Actual hour

=( $5.75 -$5.50) x 8,500 = $2,125 unfavorable

2ND----Direct Labor Rate Variance=Actual Direct Labor Cost Incurred - Standard Direct Labor Cost Based on Actual Hours

=Actual Hours x Actual Rate -Actual Hours x Standard Rate

= ($5.75 x 8,500 hours)-($5.50 x 8,500 hours)

$48,875 - $46,750 = $2,125 unfavorable

when the actual rate is higher than the standard rate, the Direct Labor Rate Variance is unfavorable and if the actual rate is lower than standard rate, the variance is favorable.

Which of the following is a fixed cost?

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The answer is d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock.

Explanation:

Let re-visit to the concept of Fixed cost before applying to the questions.

Fixed costs are costs which are unchanged given changes in production level.

a. payment to a electric utility is not fixed cost because higher level of production required higher electricity consumption which leads to higher cost of electricity.

b. cost of raw material is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the higher the raw material required for production.

c. wages to hire assembly line workers is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the more workers required and the higher the wages will be.

d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock is fixed cost because regardless of the production level, the security worker will work for the same amount of time and receive the same level of payment as his workload is much likely to remain the same.

So, d is the correct choice.

Wehrs Corporation has received a request for a special order of 9,300 units of product K19 for $46.80 each. The normal selling p

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Effect on income= $62,510 increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Offer= 9,300 units of product K19 for $46.80 each.

Direct materials $ 17.60

Direct labor $6.90

Variable manufacturing overhead $4.10

The customer would like some modifications made to product K19 that would increase the variable costs by $6.50 per unit and that would require a one-time investment of $46,300 in special molds that would have no salvage value.

<u>Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will take into account only the incremental fixed costs.</u>

<u></u>

First, we need to calculate the total cost of the offer:

Unitary variable cost= 17.6 + 6.9 + 4.1 + 6.5= $35.1

Total variable cost= 35.1*9,300= $326,430

Total fixed costs= 46,300

Total cost= $372,730

Finally, we can determine the effect on income:

Effect on income= 9,300*46.8 - 372,730

Effect on income= $62,510 increase
