<u>Explanation:</u>
1. Calculation of labor spending variance for the month of march
Labor spending variance = (Actual rate x actual hours)- (Standard rate x Standard hours)
=(13 x 63000) - (12 x (26000 x 3))
=-1,38,600
Labor spending variance for the month of March is $138600
2.Calculation of variable manufacturing overhead planning cost
Variable manufacturing overhead planning cost= (Planning budget units x required hours x cost per hour)
=(21000 x 3 x7)
=441,000
Variable manufacturing overhead planning cost is $441,000
3. Calculation of Variable manufacturing overhead cost
Variable manufacturing overhead cost= (Actual units x required hours x cost per hour)
=(26600 x 3 x7)
=$558,600
Variable manufacturing overhead cost is $558,600
4. Calculation of Variable overhead rate variance
Variable overhead rate variance= Actual hours ( actual rate - standard rate)
=63000((510930/63000)-8)
=63000(8.11-8)
=63000(0.11)
=6930
Variable overhead rate variance is =6930
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $30.5 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor-hours= 79,000 labor-hours.
The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $11.90 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,469,400.
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (1,469,400/79,000) + 11.9= $30.5 per direct labor hour
Answer:
=$422,000
Explanation:
As per the contribution margin concept, the contribution margin per unit is equal to the selling price per unit minus variable costs.
Therefore, the total contribution margin is the sales minus variable costs.
The contribution margin for the west will be sales($930,000) minus variable cost($488,000)
=$930 ,000 - $488,000
=$422,000
Rational choice theory states that individuals rely on rational calculations to achieve outcomes that are in line with their personal objectives. These decisions provide people with the greatest benefit or satisfaction — given the choices available — and are also in their highest self-interest.
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
The above question is based on a non-linear programming model, to answer this question, there will be a need to determine the optimal order quantities of the three different Ferns with diverse values of annual demand, item cost as well as order cost objective of the non-linear programming model is to minimize the overall annual cost.
Step 1: Setup a spreadsheet on Excel, as shown in the first and second attached images below:
Note: The values of quantities of the three items is kept as 1 to for the calculations of total cost.
The Solver dialogue box will appear. Enter the decision variables, objective function and the constraints, as shown in the third attached image below:
