Answer:

c. If the CPI is 156.25 in 2007, then 2005 is the base year.

Explanation:

The formula to compute the consumer price index is shown below:

= (Cost of goods basket in 2007 ÷ Cost of goods basket in 2005) × base year

= ($168.75 ÷ $108) × 100

= 156.25

Since the CPI in 2007 is 156.25 so the base year is 2005.

We simply divide the 2007 basket cost by the 2005 basket cost so that the CPI can come.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The depreciation expense for 2020 is $215,100

Explanation:

Given

Claxton Company purchased a van on January​ 1, 2018, for​ $820,000.

Useful life = 5 years

Residual value = $103,000

Annual depreciation = ($820,000- $103,000)/5

                                 = $717,000/5

                                = $143,400

At the beginning of​ 2020, the asset would have been depreciated for 2 years (2018 and 2019)

Net book value = $820,000 - 2($143,400)

                          = $533,200

Since the residual value remains the same after a revision of the estimated useful life from 5 years to 4 years

The asset would only have 2 years left for depreciation.

Annual depreciation = ($533,200 - $103,000)/2

                                  = $430,200/2

                                  = $215,100

makes a product with the following standard costs: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Dire
Ugo [173]

Answer:

$171 Favorable  

Explanation:

Actual Variable Overhead Rate = Actual variable overhead cost / Actual direct labor-hours used

Actual Variable Overhead Rate = $9,531 / 2,310

Actual Variable Overhead Rate = $4.125974

Variable overhead rate variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual Direct labor hours

Variable overhead rate variance = ($4.20 - $4.125974) * 2310

Variable overhead rate variance = $0.074026 * 2310

Variable overhead rate variance = $171 Favorable
