Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently established a standard cost system to help control c

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

1. a. The materials price and quantity variances

Material price variance: Standard cost per micron is $1.50 and actual cost per micron is $1.48. So, price variance is 1.48 - 1.5 = $(0.02) per micron

Quantity variance: Based on standard bill of material, Dawson Toys need 3,000 x 6 = 18,000 microns to produce 3,000 Maze toys. Actual consumption volume is 25,000 - 5,000 = 20,000 microns. So, quantity variance is 20,000 - 18,000 = 2,000 microns.

1. b. The labor rate and efficiency variances

Actual labor rate = Actual labor cost / Actual hour = 88,000/4,000 = $22 per hour.

Efficiency variance = Actual labor rate - Standard labor rate = 22 - 21 = $1 per hour.

2. Prepare a brief explanation of the possible causes of each variance.

Direct material cost variance: Total actual material cost is 20,000 x 1.48 = $29,600, higher than standard material cost of 18,000 x 1.5 = $27,000. This is mainly due to higher production waste as compared to standards.

Direct labor cost variance: Total actual labor cost is $88,000, higher than standard labor cost of 4,000 x 21 = $84,000. This is mainly due to lower labor rate per hour than expected.

A convenience store owner is contemplating putting a large neon sign over his store. It would cost $50,000, but is expected to

Radda [10]

Answer: No, since the value of the cash flows over the first two years are less than the initial investment

Explanation:

value of cash flows for the first two years = $48,000 (24,000x2)

Initial Investment = $50000

Because the additional $48,000 profit during the two year payback is not grater than the $50,000 purchase, they should not put the large neon sign up.

Sales 1,900,500

Less: Variable costs:

Direct material (27,000 units x $15) 405,000

Variable overhead (27,000 units x $3) 81,000

Less: Fixed cost:

Fixed production cost (27,000 x $25) 675,000

Fixed selling and administrative expenses 300,000 975,000

Net profit 165,500

Absorption costing 464,000 365,500

Less: Marginal costing 264,000 165,500

Difference 200,000  200,000

The difference of $200,000 in net profit is as a result of $200,000 difference in closing inventory.

Explanation:

In variable costing, variable costs are deducted from sales so as to obtain contribution margin. Net profit is the difference between contribution and fixed costs. Closing stock is the difference between production units and sales units. Closing stock is valued at marginal cost per unit in variable costing. Marginal cost per unit is the aggregate of all variable cost per unit.

Consider consecutive processes A-B-C, where process A has a capacity of 20 units per hour, process B has a capacity of 25 units

g100num [7]

Answer:

The operation manager would want the inventory in front of process A based on the lean system.

Explanation:

To fully understand the basis on which we chose the answer, we need to define what a lean system is.

A Lean system refers to a business process plan. More a of business model canvass that meticulously deal with business process plan and development for the purpose of achieving maximum value in production, client and customer satisfaction while still at a reduced cost of running business. It should also be noted that the lean system is mostly a continuum of existing process and subsequent process progress are mostly determined by the level of integrity attained by the primary design stage.

With the understanding gotten from the definition above, it then obvious from the narrative of the question that the process is consecutive. As such, follows a pattern of A to B to C and thus the level of integrity of process design achieved at A will be passed down to B and C.

This is the more reason why the operation manager will prefer to to want an inventory at A which is the primary point of start.
