Answer:

1) The government prohibits gas stations from selling gasoline for more than $3.40 per gallon.

This statement is an example of price ceiling as the gas stations cannot raise their price above $3.40 but can sell it at any price lower than the ceiling price of $3.40. This is binding

2) Due to new regulations, gas stations that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so. This is neither a price ceiling or floor as government isn't directly affecting the price with their policy

3) The government has instituted a legal minimum price of $3.40 per gallon for gasoline. This is an example of price floor and is binding. The reason it is a price floor is because the petrol stations cannot charge a price below $3.40 but can charge any price above the floor price of $3.40

Answer:

1,350 units

Explanation:

The computation of the break-even point in composite units is shown below;

Composition contribution margin per unit is

= ($75 - $35) × 5 + ($95 - $40) × 2

= 310

Now break-even point in composite units is

= Fixed cost ÷ Composition contribution margin per unit

= $418,500 ÷ 310

On April 30, 2017, Tilton Products purchased machinery for $88,000. The useful life of this machinery is estimated at 8 years, w

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

$6,666.67 and $10,000

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for the year 2017 and 2018 is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($88,000 - $8,000) ÷ (8 years)

= ($80,000) ÷ (8 years)

= $10,000

Since the machinery is purchased on April 30 and we assume the books are closed on December 31 so the number of months calculated is 8 months

Therefore for the year 2017 the depreciation expense is

= $10,000 × 8 months ÷ 12 months

= $6,666.67

And, for the year 2018 the depreciation expense is same i.e $10,000

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

a. <u>Labor variances for 14 PT staff: </u>

Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)

= ($50 - $52) x 1.40 x 2,604

= $7291.20 (Unfavorable)

Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate

= [(1.20 * 2,604) - (1.40 * 2,604)] * $50

= [3,124.80 - 3,645.60] * $50

= $26,040 (Unfavorable)

Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance

= $7,291.20 (Unfavorable) + $ 26,040 (Unfavorable)

= $33,331.20 (Unfavorable)

<u>Labor variances for 10 SD staff</u>:

Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)

= ($45 - $47) * 1.20 * 1,600

= $3840 (Unfavorable)

Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate

= (1.40*1,600) – (1.20*1,600)]*$45

= [2,240 – 1,920] * $45

= $14,400 (Favorable)

Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance

= $3,840 (Unfavorable) + $ 14,400 (Favorable)

= $10,560 (Favorable)
