Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard price= $1.4 per pound

Thrope, Inc. purchased 2,400 pounds of direct material for $1.30 per pound.

Thrope used 1,200 pounds in production while the standard pounds allowed for actual production was 900.

To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:

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

Direct material price variance= (1.4 - 1.3)*2,400= $240 favorable

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

Direct material quantity variance= (900 - 1,200)*1.4= $420 favorable

Answer:

<em>Price variance  </em><em> $</em><em>240  Favorable</em>

Quantity variance   $ 420  unfavourable

Explanation:

<em>A material price variance occurs where materials are purchased at a price either lower or higher than the standard price. A favorable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite. </em>

                                                                                    $

2,400 pounds should have cost (2400×$1.40) =   3360

but did cost (actual cost )          = (2400×$1.30) =   <u>3120 </u>

<em>Price variance  </em><em>                                                          </em><u><em>240  Favorable</em></u>

Quantity variance

<em>It is determined by the difference between the actual and standard quantity of material for the actual level of output multiplied by the the standard price  </em>

                                                                          Pounds

standard allowed production                          900

Actual quantity used                                        <u>1,200</u>

Difference                                                           300

Standard price                                               × <u>$1.40</u>

Quantity variance                                             $<u>420   unfavourable </u>

Even as it begins to produce the Mirai for the U.S. market, Toyota continues to manufacture its traditionally fueled cars, truck
Contact [7]

Answer:

Volatility

Explanation:

Volatility of industrial demand is the uncertainty in demand for product or parts by consumers. Companies need to adequately prepare for these changes in demand by the consumer so as to adequately provide the inventory or product to the customer.

In the given scenario Toyota is manufacturing product for all demands in the market place so as to capture all market shares.

They are producing both traditionally furled cars and the Mirai (a car that uses electricity). By this move they are appealing to both demand for normal fuel cars and those that want to use alternative energy sources

Grand River Corporation reported taxable income of $600,000 in year 1 and paid federal income taxes of $155,000. Not included in
Paul [167]

Answer:

$444,000

Explanation:

current earnings and profits = (taxable income - income taxes) - meals expense + tax exempt income = ($600,000 - $155,000) - $3,000 + $2,000 = $444,000

Disallowed expenses are expenses made by an individual or company that the IRS doesn't allow to be deducted, e.g. meals. Tax exempt income is income that is not taxed by the IRS, e.g. DRD includes at least 70% of dividends received.

Deferred gains or unearned revenues are considered a liability and are not included in the income statement.

Total cost= $204,750

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs: supervisor’s salary $3,000; factory rent $6,500

Mixed costs: utilities $3,500 + $10.25 per unit

Variable costs per unit:

manufacturing labor wages $30.00

supplies used in production $13.50

packaging cost $7.25

warranty cost $4

Required: Compute total costs to be incurred for a week with 2,950 units of activity.

Fixed costs= 3,000 + 6,500 + 3,500= $13,000

Variable costs= (10.25 + 30 + 13.5 + 7.25 + 4)*2,950= $191,750

Total cost= $204,750

Why do most economists believe that it is important for a country’s central bank be independent of the rest of the country’s cen
ohaa [14]

Answer:

For economists is important to avoid political interferance in the monetary policy. Populist governments often use the creation of money to justify their political programs, causing inflation and distortions on the market.

In the last report of FOMC is highlighted the behaviour of market labour and the lower expectations of inflation.

Explanation:

There are two tools commonly used in political economy to finance government programs: taxation and paper currency print. When the central bank is not independent, the government has an incentive to print money to fund their programs, causing inflation. In economic science has been demonstrated that inflation is always caused by monetary phenomena.
