Answer:

a. Predetermined Overhead Rate

Rate   = Overhead cost / standard hours of direct labor

Variable Overhead Costs Rate = 182875 / 16625 = 11  

Fixed Overhead Costs Rate= 66500 / 16625  = 4

Total Overhead Costs Rate = Variable Overhead Costs  + Fixed Overhead Costs

= 11 + 4

= 15

b. Total overhead variance

Overhead costs applied= Overhead * Standard Direct Labor Hours

When Standard Direct Labor Hours= (16625 / 38000 * 70%) * 44600

= (16625 / 26600) * 44600.

= 0.625 * 44600

= 27875 Hours.

i. Variable Overhead Costs = 11 * 27875 = 306625

ii. Fixed Overhead Costs = 4 * 27875 = 111500

iii. Total Overhead Costs = 15 * 27875 = 418125

The company incurred $421,625 actual overhead which is the Actual overhead.

Hence, Total overhead variance= Total Overhead - Costs Actual overhead

= $418,125 - $421,625

= -3500 (Unfavorable)

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The Accounting Equation states that;

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Equity as at 2016 = Assets - Liabilities

= 50 - 13

= $37 million

Equity as at 2017 = Assets - Liabilities

= 77 - 18

= $59 million

1. Timmy issued $13 million of stock and declared no dividends.

<em>The Net Income ( loss) will be the figure that gives the Statement of Equity a figure of $59 million.</em>

Net Income = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  - Issuance of stock

= 59 - 37 - 13

= $9 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 13

Net income  ......................................................................9

Less: Dividends declared......................................................0

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59

2. Timmy issued no stock but declared dividends of $17 million.

Net Income (loss) = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  + Dividends Declared

= 59 - 37 + 17

= $39 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 0

Net income  ......................................................................39

Less: Dividends declared......................................................(17)

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59

3. Timmy issued $20 million of stock and declared dividends of $27 million.

Net Income (loss) = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  + Dividends Declared -  Issuance of stock

= 59 - 37 + 27 - 20

= $29 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 20

Net income  ......................................................................29

Less: Dividends declared......................................................(27)

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59
