Answer: 16 S&P 500 futures contracts
Explanation:
The number of contracts can be calculated by:
= (1 * beta) × Stock value/(Contract size * Index level)
= 1.35 × 12,000,000 / ( 250 * 3,983)
= 1.35 × 12,000,000 / 995,750
= 16 S&P 500 futures contracts

Answer:
1. 60,000 hours
2. $300,000
3. $1,680 Unfavorable
Explanation:
1. The computation of the standard hours allowed for actual production is shown below:
= Actual production × Standard hours allowed per unit
= 15,000 units × 4 hours
= 60,000 hours
2. The computation of the applied fixed overhead is shown below:
= Standard hours allowed for actual production × Standard fixed overhead rate
= 6,000 hours × $5
= $300,000
3. The computation of the total fixed overhead variance is shown below:
= Actual fixed overhead costs - Applied fixed overhead
= $301,680 - $300,000
= $1,680 Unfavorable
