Logistics Solutions provides order fulfillment services for dot merchants. The company maintains warehouses that stock items car

ried by its dot clients. When a client receives an order from a customer, the order is forwarded to Logistics Solutions, which pulls the item from storage, packs it, and ships it to the customer. The company uses a predetermined variable overhead rate based on direct labor-hours.
1. What variable overhead cost should have been incurred to fill the orders for the 120,000 items? How much does this differ from the actual variable overhead cost?
2. Break down the difference computed (1) above into a variable overhead rate variance and a variable overhead efficiency variance.

Part 1.1  - Variable overhead cost incurred to fill the order for the 120,000 items is $7,800.

Part 1.2  - Difference between standard and actual variable overhead cost is $440.

Part 3 - Difference between standard and actual variable overhead cost is $440.

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is given that the number of order is 120,000 items and calculated standard variable overhead cost per order for one item is $0.065. Variable overhead cost incurred to fill the order for the 120,000 items can be calculated by multiplying the number of order of the items with the calculated standard variable overhead cost per order for one item. Hence, the variable overhead cost incurred to fill the order for the 120,000 items is $7,800.

It is given that the actual variable overhead cost is $7,360 and calculated standard variable overhead cost is $7,800. Difference in standard and actual variable overhead cost can be calculated by deducting the actual variable overhead cost from the standard variable overhead cost. Hence, the difference between standard and actual variable overhead cost is $440.

Calculated variable overhead rate variance is $115 favorable and the variable overhead efficiency variance is $325 favorable. Difference between standard and actual variable overhead cost is the total of variable overhead rate variance and variable overhead efficiency variance. Hence, the difference between standard and actual variable overhead cost is $440.

Who is the only artist to refuse to accept a grammy award?
Mariulka [41]
Answer:
The female artist Sinead O'Connor.

Explanation
Sinead O'Connor refused to accept the Grammy Award for her album in 1990 with the title "I do not want what I haven't got".
The reason that she gave for refusing the award was that the show that accompanied the award was too commercialized and materialistic. 

The Grammy Awards began in 1959. A recipient of the award is given a gold plated trophy in the shape of a gramophone, which was an early recording device that followed the invention of the phonograph by Thomas Edison.

Identify the inventory costing method best described by each of the following sepatate statements. Assume a period of increasing
MrMuchimi

Answer:

1. Yields a balance sheet inventory amount often markedly less than its replacement cost.  LIFO

2. Results in a balance sheet inventory amount approximating replacement cost.  FIFO

3. Provides a tax advantage (deferral) to a corporation when costs are rising.  LIFO

4. Recognizes (mulches) recent costs against net sales.  LIFO

5. The preferred method when each unit of product has unique features that markedly effect cost. WEIGHTED AVERAGE

Explanation:

1. LIFO yields a balance sheet inventory amount often markedly less than its replacement cost.  The reason is because the in a period of rising costs, since the last stock of goods bought are sold first, this will result in the remaining stock of goods to be of lower costs as they had been bought at an earlier date at a cheaper rate.

2. FIFO results in a balance sheet inventory amount approximating replacement cost because the first set of goods purchased are sold first; and if the assumption holds that costs are rising with time, then the balance stock of goods would have been bought at a later date at a higher cost, hence the value of the balance (ending) inventory will be almost equal to its replacement cost.  

3. LIFO provides a tax advantage (deferral) to a corporation when costs are rising because it results in a lower ending inventory value since the more expensive inventory has been sold. Hence, the closing stock and Net income will be low and income tax will be low.

4. LIFO matches recent costs against net sales because the 'cost of sales' are made up of the recent purchases which are sold first

5. The preferred method when each unit of product has unique features that markedly effect cost is the WEIGHTED AVERAGE because it calculates the average period cost of all goods in stock and apportions the total to individual items.

Rex's doughnuts can produce only 100 doughnuts a day. the variable cost incurred per unit is $2 and fixed costs incurred per day
vladimir1956 [14]
The total cost that is incurred by producing 100 doughnuts is equal to the sum of the variable cost and the fixed cost. The total variable cost is,
    total variable cost = ($2/doughnut)(100 doughnuts) = $200

The total cost is,
   Total cost = total variable cost + total fixed cost
     TC = $200 + $500 = $700

Equating the cost and the revenue,
     TC = TR
     $700 = (100)(x)

The value of x from the equation is $7.
