Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

a.

In part a, we need to find the following 3 requirements:

1. Direct Materials Price Variance

2. Direct Materials Quantity Variance

3. Total Direct Materials Cost Variance

Direct Materials Price Variance:

It can be calculated by using the following formula:

DMPV = AQ multiplied by (AP minus the SP)

Where,  

DMPV = Direct Materials Price Variance

AQ = Actual Quantity

AP = Actual Price

SP = Standard Price

We do have all the data, so just plug in the values into the above equation to get the DMPV.

AQ = 101,000

AP  = 6.50 USD

SP = 6.40 USD

So,

DMPV = 101,000 ( 6.50 - 6.40)

DMPV = 10,100 USD

Direct Materials Quantity Variance:

DMQV = SP ( AQ - SQ )

Where,

DMQV = Direct Materials Quantity Variance = ?

SP  = Standard Price  = 6.40 USD

AQ = Actual Quantity  = 101,000

SQ = Standard Quantity  = 100,000

Plugging in the values:

DMQV  = 6.40  ( 101,000 - 100,000)

DMQV = 6400 USD

Total Direct Materials Cost Variance:

DMCV = SMC - AMC

Where,

DMCV =  Direct Materials Cost Variance = ?

SMC = Standard Market Cost = 6.40 USD x 100,000

AMC = Actual market Cost = 6.50 USD x 101,000

DMCV = (6.40 USD x 100,000) - (6.50 USD x 101,000)

DMCV = 640,000 - 656,500

DMCV =  16,500 USD

b.

For part b, we need following particulars:

1. Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV)

2. Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV)

3. Direct Labor Cost Variance  (DLCV)

Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV) :

DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH

Where,

ADLR  = Actual Direct Labor Rate = 15.40 USD

SDLR = Standard Direct Labor Rate = 15.75 USD

ADLH = Actual Direct Labor Hour = 2000

So,

DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH

DLRV =  (15.40 USD  - 15.75 USD  ) x 2000

DLRV = 700 USD

Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV):

DLTV = ( ADLH - SDLH ) x SDLR

SDLH = Standard Direct Labor Hour = 2080

DLTV = ( 2000  - 2080 ) x 15.75 USD  

DLTV = 1260 USD

Direct Labor Cost Variance  (DLCV)

DLCV = SDLC - ADLC

SDLC = Standard Direct Labor Cost  

ADLC = Actual Direct Labor Cost

DLCV =  (1540 x 2000) - (15.75 x 2080)

DLCV = 1960 USD

c.

For Part c, we need following:

1. variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV)

2. fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV)

3. Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV)

variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV):

VFOCV =  AFO - B

Where,

AFO = Actual Factory Overhead  = 8200

B = Budgeted Allowance Based on Standard Hours Allowed = 4160x0.5x4

B = 8320 USD

VFOCV =  8200 - 8320  

VFOCV =   120 USD

fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV) :

FFOVV = (S - BH ) x SOR

Where,

S = Standard Hours for actual output = 4160 x 0.5

BH = Budgeted Hours = 2080

SOR = Standard Overhead Rate = 6 USD

FFOVV = (4160 x 0.5  - 2080) x 6

FFOVV =  0 USD

Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV):

TFOCV = AFO - SO

Where,

AFO = Actual Factory Overhead = 20,200

SO = Standard Overhead = 2080 x 10

TFOCV =  20,200 - ( 2080 x 10  )

TFOCV =  600 USD

Economists refer to the necessity of holding all variables other than price constant in constructing a demand curve as the A. su
Andru [333]

Answer:

D. ceteris paribus condition

Explanation:

The Latin words “Ceteris paribus”, means “all other things remain the same”. It is an assumption usually included when by economists when stating laws or concepts such as demand and supply. Because, actually in the real word, it is feasible to eliminate other variables that might influence an outcome, aside the variables under study.  So therefore, we assume all other variables remain constant, when stating the relationship between two variables. For example, when constructing a demand curve showing the relationship between price and quantity demanded, we assume that all other variables that can influence demand other than price, remain the same, which in reality might be difficult to isolate.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

$134,300

Explanation:

Total indirect manufacturing cost = (Unit Produced * Variable manufactured overhead) + Fixed manufacturing overhead

= (8,000 * 1.60) + 121,500

=12,800 + 121,150

=$134,300

Hencc, the total amount of indirect manufacturing cost is $134,300

Lorico [155]

Answer:

1. Acquired cash from the issue of common stock. - Assets (I) Liabilities (NA) Equity (I)

2. Paid cash to reduce the principal on a bank note.  - Assets (D) Liabilities (D) Equity (NA)

3. Sold land for cash at an amount equal to its cost.  - Assets (NA) Liabilities (NA) Equity (NA)

4. Provided services to clients for cash.   - Assets (I) Liabilities (NA) Equity (I)

5. Paid utilities expenses with cash.  - Assets (D) Liabilities (NA) Equity (D)

6. Paid a cash dividend to the stockholders. - Assets (D) Liabilities (NA) Equity (D)

Explanation:

The accounting equation shows the relationship between the elements of a balance sheet which are assets liabilities and equity. This may be expressed mathematically as

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

While assets include fixed assets, cash, inventories, account receivables etc, liabilities include accounts payable, loans payable, accrued expenses etc.

Equity which represents the amount owed to the owners of the business includes retained earnings (which is the accumulation of the net income/loss over the years less dividends paid) and common shares.

kicyunya [14]

Answer: B) Whistleblowing

Explanation:

Whistleblowing is an act where someone in a company discloses unethical practices usually from the entity that they work in. It is a very risky thing to do because it could signal the end of one's career in a certain industry.

Whistleblowing however helps in contributing to entities staying ethical because they'd rather avoid the bad publicity that comes with it and this is why most companies have a whistleblowing policy to make it easier for people to come forward.

Whistleblowing can be done to the Government, the press or even the entity at fault itself.

Lori by giving an anonymous tip to the press about unethical behavior has engaged in Whistleblowing.

Examples of some well known Whistleblowers include, Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning.
