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:

b) 7.80 %

c) yes the weight of the debt increases here is more risk in the investment as the debt payment are mandatory and failing to do so result in bankruptcy while the stock can wait to receive dividends if the income statement are good enough

d) 9.00 %

e) The increase in debt may lñead to an increase in return of the stockholders if they consider the stock riskier than before and will raise their return until the WACC equalize at the initial point beforethe trade-off occurs

Explanation:

$WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})$

Ke 0.12

Equity weight 0.5

Kd(1-t) = after tax cost of debt = 0.06

Debt Weight = 0.5

$WACC = 0.12(0.5) + 0.06(0.5)$

WACC 9.00000%

$WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})$

Ke 0.12

Equity weight 0.3

Kd(1-t) = after tax cost of debt = 0.06

Debt Weight 0.7

$WACC = 0.12(0.3) + 0.06(0.7)$

WACC 7.80000%

$WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})$

Ke 0.16

Equity weight 0.3

Kd(1-t) = after tax cost of debt = 0.06

Debt Weight 0.7

$WACC = 0.16(0.3) + 0.06(0.7)$

WACC 9.00000%

So, the family work together in order to make their children educated and become better citizens of the nation. An efficient family can affect the society by producing a surplus of resources that the society can benefit from.

"Defamation of character"

Is a catch-all term for any statement that hurts someone's reputation. Written defamation is called "libel," while spoken defamation is called "slander." Because written statements last longer than spoken statements, most courts, juries, and insurance companies consider libel more harmful than slander.

Defamation is not a crime in most states, but it is a "tort" (a civil wrong, rather than a criminal wrong). The person who has been defamed (the "plaintiff") can sue the person who did the defaming (the "defendant") for damages.

Defamation law tries to balance competing interests: On the one hand, someone shouldn't be able to ruin your life by telling lies about you; on the other hand, people should be able to speak freely without fear of litigation over every insult, disagreement, or mistake. Political and social debate is important in a free society, and we obviously don't all share the same opinions or beliefs. For example, political opponents often reach opposite conclusions from the same facts, and editorial cartoonists often exaggerate facts to make their point.

How Do You Prove Defamation?

Defamation happens when a person makes a false statement—verbally or in writing—about someone else that damages that person's reputation. Defamation laws vary from state to state, but the basic principles of defamation law are the same in every state.

A plaintiff suing for defamation typically must show:

The defendant published a statement about the plaintiff.

The statement was false.

The statement was injurious, and

The statement was unprivileged. .

Defenses to Defamation Lawsuits :

Defamation claims are complicated and hard to prove because defamation laws have to strike a balance between allowing people to protect their reputations and allowing the free exchange of information, ideas, and opinions.

You can defend yourself against a defamation lawsuit if the statement you made was:

true

an opinion

privileged or

retracted.
