ures cabinets of mahogany, oak, and other fine woods for use in expensive homes, restaurants, and hotels. Although some of the work is custom, many of the cabinets are a standard size. One such non-custom model is called Luxury Base Frame. Normal production is 1,000 units. Each unit has a direct labor hour standard of 5 hours. Overhead is applied to production based on standard direct labor hours. During the most recent month, only 1,120 units were produced; 4,500 direct labor hours were allowed for standard production, but only 4,000 hours were used. Standard and actual overhead costs were as follows.

Answer:

total budgeted costs = $189,400

budgeted production = 1,000 units

standard rate = $189,400 / 1,000 = $189.40 per unit

total actual costs = $197,200

actual production = 1,120 units

actual rate = $197,200 / 1,120 = $176.07 per unit

  1. total fixed overhead variance = actual overhead costs - budgeted overhead costs =  $197,200 - $189,400 = $7,800 unfavorable. The actual overhead expense was higher than the budgeted.
  2. controllable variance = (actual rate - standard rate) x actual units = ($176.07 - $189.40) x 1,120 units = -$14,929.60 favorable. The actual overhead rate was lower than the standard rate, that is why the variance is positive.
  3. volume variance = (standard activity - actual activity) x standard rate = (1,000 - 1,120) x $189.40 = -1,120 x $189.40 = -$212,128 favorable. More units where produced than budgeted, that is why the variance is positive.

Global Commerce Corporation purchased trading debt investments for $136,000 on December​ 31, 2018. There is a decrease of $3,400
stellarik [79]

Answer:

A. Unrealized Holding  Loss - Trading 3,400

Fair Value  Adjustment - Trading 3,400

Explanation:

Since this investment is classified as a trading investment, any change in its fair market value must be included in their income statement. The appropriate journal entry should be:

Dr Unrealized loss on trading security 3,400

     Cr Debt investments 3,400

This will decrease the carrying value of the debt investments in the balance sheet and the loss will be included in the 2019 income statement. The fair value adjustment account normally has a credit balance since it decreases the carrying value of the investment account.

Create a business decision based on the company where you work (can be any company), a small business you hope to own someday or
Naya [18.7K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The business decision based on the company where you work would be this. To open a new small branch of the fast-food restaurant as a concession in the municipal stadium.

The incremental cost is the future costs as a result of this business decision. This means that we have to consider extra money on a monthly basis to pay for the rent of the concession booth at the Municipal stadium.

The opportunity cost is that instead of opening our branch in the new downtown mall, we decided to move with the stadium option. Having decided to be at the mall could have allowed us to have more clients on a daily basis, especially on weekends.

The sunk cost is a cost from the past, an historical cost that really is not important in the present time to make a decision. Maybe, just a reference to a case in the past. And that's it.

Here we can refer to a cost when we opened the first location of the restaurant, but it was five years ago. Those were different situations, necessities, and conditions.
