seropon [69]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Mackinaw Inc. processes a base chemical into plastic. Standard costs and actual costs for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead incurred for the manufacture of 40,000 units of product were as follows:

Standard Costs - Actual Costs

Direct materials 120,000 lb. at $3.20 118,500 lb. at $3.25

Direct labor 12,000 hrs. at $24.40 11,700 hrs. at $25.00

Factory overhead Rates per direct labor hr., based on 100% of normal capacity of 15,000 direct labor hrs.:

Variable cost, $8.00 $91,200 variable cost

Fixed cost, $10.00 $150,000 fixed cost

Each unit requires 0.3 hour of direct labor.

A) Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (3.20 - 3.25)*118,500= $5925 unfavorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (120,000 - 118,500)*3.20=-$4,800 favorable

Total direct material variance= 5,925 - 4,800= 1,125 unfavorable

B)Direct labor efficiency variance= (SQ - AQ)*standard rate

Direct labor efficiency variance= (12,000 - 11,700)*24.40= -$7,320 favorable

Direct labor price variance= (SR - AR)*AQ

Direct labor price variance= (24.40 - 25)*11,700= $7,020 unfavorable

Total direct labor variance= $300 favorable

C) Variable factory overhead controllable variance= (8*15,000 - 92,100)= -$27,900 favorable

Fixed factory overhead volume variance= (10*15,000 - 150,000)= 0

Total factory overhead variance= 27,900 favorable

Brooke and John formed a partnership. Brooke received a 40% interest in partnership capital and profits in exchange for contribu

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

$102,000

Explanation:

According to 26 US code Section 704(c) - Partner's distributive share :

Taxable gain to be recognized from sale = Sale value - ( Partner's share * Fair market value )

Brooke contributed the land, the gain realized before the land was contributed = $120,000 - $90,000 will be allocated entirely to her. She will also be allocated 40% of the gain after the contribution was made = ($150,000 - $120,000) x 40% = $30,000 x 40% = $12,000.

So the total gain recognized by Brooke will be $90,000 + $12,000 = $102,000.

Partnerships are pass through entities, the partners are taxed, not the partnership itself.

Answer:

The question is incomplete; the complete question is given below:

$

Direct materials 15,000.00

Direct labor 25,000.00

Factory depreciation expense 45,000.00

Factory utilities expense 2,000.00

Payroll staff's salary 15,000.00

Prime cost= $40,000, Conversion cost= $72,000

Explanation:

Prime cost: It is the summation of all direct costs. Direct costs are costs that are incurred directly for a particular product, and therefore can be traced to it.

Examples of direct costs include; direct material costs, direct labour cost and direct expense

Direct materials cost: the costs of all materials used directly to manufacture a product. For example, cocoa powder, vanilla used in making chocolate. Every other materials costs are indirect material costs

Direct labor cost: the cost of the labor hours of workers actively involved in the production of a product. For example, the cost of the total hours paid to workers for packing the chocolates into cartons. Every other labor costs are indirect labor costs

Prime cost = Direct material cost+ Direct labour cost + Direct expense

Prime cost = $15,000 + $25,000= $40,000

Conversion cost = The sum of direct labour costs and manufacturing overheads

Conversion cost= $25,000 + $45,000 + $2000= $72,000

Note that payroll staff cost was excluded because payroll function is an administrative activitiy not manufacturing.

Prepare Job-Order Cost Sheets, Predetermined Overhead Rate, Ending Balance of WIP, Finished Goods, and COGS At the beginning of

vova2212 [387]

Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation of overhead rate based on direct labor cost is shown below:-

Overhead rate = Overhead applied × 100 ÷ Direct labor cost

= 888 × 100 ÷ 1,200

= 74%

2. The Preparation of job-order cost sheet for the four jobs is shown below:

Particulars Job 86 Job 87 Job 88 Job 89

Beginning balance $6,888 $6,820

Direct materials $3,000 $7,000 $2,100 $1,500

Direct labor $800 $6,000 $900 $500

Applied overhead

is 74% of direct labor $592 $4,440 $666 $370

Total $11,280 $24,260 $3,666 $2,370

3. The computation of ending balances of Work in Process and Finished Goods is shown below:-

Work in process of Job 88 = $3,666

Finished goods = Total of Job 86 + Total of Job 89

= $11,280 + $2,370

= $13,650

4. The computation of the Cost of Goods Sold for March is shown below:-

Cost of goods sold is

= Job 87

= $24,260
