The total cost of ownership (TCO) is an estimate of the cost of an item that includes all the costs related to the procurement a

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The total cost of ownership can be defined as the acquisition cost of an asset and the cost of it's operation. It takes into account the total value of the asset. Before making a decision on the asset one wants to purchase, the total cost of ownership should be assessed. Most buyers make the mistake of only considering the purchase cost of an item without considering other operational and maintenance cost over the items useful life. For example, one might decide to pick a cheap alternative based on it's low purchase cost and later realize very hefty operation and maintenance cost. It is therefor prudent for buyers to consider not only the short-term cost which is the price but also the long-term cost that will be incurred over the item's useful life.

Most companies in business that want to purchase an equipment usually consider the total cost of ownership to determine the best alternative in terms of long-term value. By doing a total cost of ownership analysis, the company tends to have a holistic view of all the direct and indirect costs.

11. At Stolen Horse Corporation, indirect labor is a variable cost that varies with direct labor hours. Last month's flexible bu

pochemuha

Answer:

5,220 hours

Explanation:

Lets summarize the information first,

Actual Hours = 5,140

Actual Indirect labor cost = $2,056

Spending Variance = $257 Unfavorable

Activity Variance = $28 Favorable

We can reverse work for budgeted labor hours, first for the standard rate,

Spending variance = Actual hours * Standard rate/hour - Actual Overheads

-257 = 5140x - 2056

x = (2056-257)/5140

x = 0.35/hour (This is the standard over head rate )

Activity Variance = Standard rate*Standard hrs - Standard rate*Actual Hrs

28 = 0.35y - 0.35*5140

Solving for y,

y = 1827/0.35

y = 5,220

So budgeted hours for Stolen Horse Corporation were = y = 5,220 hours

Hope that helps.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

EZ-Tax

Partner Staff Total

a. Sales price variance $104,000 ($110,000) ($6,000) U

b. Activity variance $160,000 $420,000 $580,000 F

c. Mix variance $85,000 $180,000 $265,000 F

d. Quantity variance $189,000 $70,000 $259,000 F

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Partner Staff

Budgeted billable rate per hour $800 $210

Budgeted variable cost per hour 375 120

Budgeted billable hours 5,000 20,000

Budgeted revenue $4,000,000 $4,200,000

Budgeted variable cost 1,875,000 2,400,000

Actual revenue $4,264,000 $4,510,000

Actual billable hours 5,200 22,000

Actual billable rate per hour $820 $205

Budgeted billable rate per hour $800 $210

Variance in price $20 ($5)

Sales price variance $104,000 ($110,000) ($6,000)

Sales price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) * Actual billable hours

= ($800 - $820) * 5,200 + ($210 - $205) * 22,000

= $20 * 5,200 + ($5) * 22,000

= $104,000 - 110,000

= $6,000 U

Activity variance = (Actual billable hours - Standard billable hours) * Standard rate

= (5,200 - 5,000) * $800 + (22,000 - 20,000) * $210

= (200 * $800) + (2,000 * 210)

= $160,000 + 420,000

= $580,000 F

Partner Staff Total

Budgeted revenue $4,000,000 $4,200,000 $8,200,000

Budgeted variable cost 1,875,000 2,400,000 4,275,000

Budgeted contribution $2,125,000 $1,800,000 $3,925,000

Actual revenue $4,264,000 $4,510,000 $8,774,000

Actual variable cost 1,950,000 2,640,000 4,590,000

Actual contribution $2,314,000 $1,870,000 $4,184,000

Quantity variance $189,000 $70,000 $259,000

Quantity variance = Budgeted contribution - Actual contribution

= $3,925,000 - $4,184,000

= $259,000 F

Mix Variance:

Standard contribution margin $425 $90

Volume variance 200 2,000

Mix variance = $85,000 $180,000
