Answer:

1.  $3, 200 favorable

2. $940 unfavorable

3. not able to answer

4. $1, 980 favorable

5. not able to answer

Explanation:

Standard costing is the practice of substituting an expected (or budgeted) cost for an actual cost in the accounting records of an organization. As a result, variances are recorded to show the difference between the expected and the actual costs.

How is standard cost calculated?

to find the standard cost, you need to determine the cost of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead per unit. Theses costs are added up. To determine the standard cost of direct materials, for example, multiply the materials at standard price by the direct materials standard quantity needed for each unit.  

The same principle is applied for direct labor, and overhead costs.

Answers:

1. The total underapplied or overapplied factory overhead in April for Neptune, Inc. was:

=$2.70 x 18, 000

=$48, 600

=$48, 600 - $45, 400

= $3, 200 Favorable

2. The total factory overhead spending variance in April for Neptune, Inc was:

= $10, 800 / 15, 000  

= 0.72 (deduct from standard labor rate)

[2.7 – 0.72 = 1.98]

= 1.98 x 17, 000 (actual hours)

= $33, 660

= $10, 800 + $33, 660

= $44, 460 (actual)

$44, 460 - $45, 400 = $940 Unfavorable

3. The factory overhead production volume variance in April for Neptune Inc, was:

There is not sufficient information to answer this question.

The production volume variance measures the amount of overhead applied to the number of units produced. This is the difference between the actual number of units produced and the budgeted number of units that should have been produced.

4. The variable factory overhead efficiency variance for Neptune, Inc. in April was:

= $1.98 x (17, 000 – 18, 000) direct labor hours

= $1, 980 Favorable

5.  The total factory overhead flexible-budget variance in April for Neptune, Inc. was:

There is not enough available information to answer this question.

Suppose the marginal propensity to consume is equal to 0.75. If the government lowers tax rates and tax revenue falls by $100 mi
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

$100; $75

Explanation:

Given that:

  • Tax revenue falls by 100 million dollars
  • marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75.

Due to the fall in tax revenue, disposable income will increase by the same amount, that is, $100 million.

Consuption spending will initially increase by $75 million, as shown below:

= MPC × tax revenue fall

= 0.75 × $100,000,000 = $75,000,000

A company produces very unusual CD's for which the variable cost is $ 17 per CD and the fixed costs are $ 30000. They will sell
Alika [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let we assume the number of CD produced be X

So, the total cost would be

C = Fixed cost + variable cost × number of CD produced

   = $30,000 + $17X

For total revenue, it would b

R = $63X

For total profit, it would be

P = Selling cost per CD  × number of CD produced - variable cost per CD × number of CD produced - fixed cost

= $63X - $17X - $30,000

= $46X - $30,000

For number of CD, it would be

0 = $46X - $30,000

X = $30,000 ÷ $46

   = 652 CD for break-even

. Assume a home buyer puts 20% down on a $250,000 house and uses a mortgage to borrow the rest. What will the amount of the mort
Elina [12.6K]
20% down will be $50,000 so the balance will be $200,000 to take out a mortgage for. The higher the down payment the lower the mortgage required and lower payments would ensue also. Also, once one has a mortgage it ie wise to pay it by the week to reduce the interest. Over time this practice makes a difference.

yuradex [85]

Answer:

<u>Journal 1</u>

Debit : Prepaid Expense $37,600

Credit : Cash $18,800

Credit : Insurance Expense $18,800

<u>Journal 2</u>

Debit : Dividends $18,000

Credit : Wages $18,000

Explanation:

Journal 1

The first error has to be corrected by debiting the Prepaid Expenses by twice the amount paid to cancel the effect of a credit entry made to that account. Cash is credited to show the correct credit entry that was supposed to be made. Insurance expense is credited to cancel the debit entry made to this account in error.

Journal 2

The error made is called error of principle. This is were the transaction is recorded in the wrong class of accounts. Simply, Debit the Dividends and credit the Wages Account to record and reverse the error out of the Wages Account into the Dividends Account.
