Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Since the costs are per 100, to calculate total standard we multiply by 400,000/100 = 4000 and actual qty then is 4060.

For A, standard cost budget at standard prices.

Direct Labor            (2*4000)          = $8,000

Direct Material     (9.1*4000)        = $36,400

Factory Overhead  (0.55*4000)    = $2,200

Total                                                        = $46,600

For B, The total cost variances are as follows,

Material cost variance = (Standard Price - Actual Price) * Actual Quantity  

where, Standard price = 9.1 and Actual price = (35750/4060) = $8.81

Variance = (9.1 - 8.81) * 4060  = $1177.4 Favorable

Direct labor cost variance = (Standard rate - Actual Rate) * Actual Quantity

where, Standard rate = 2 and Actual rate = (7540/4060) = $1.86

Variance = (2-1.86) * 4060  = $568.4 Favorable

Factory Overhead variance

= Standard applied - Actual applied  

Variance = (0.55*4060) - 2680     = $447 Unfavorable

Net effect on total cost variances = (1177.4+568.4-447) = $1298.8 Favorable

For c)

The over all cost performance has favored the business as they ere able to lessen costs in direct labor and material department. However, the fixed costs performance has deteriorated and there may be some technical issues that the company can deal with to ensure they perform better on fixed costs. The over all performance is favorable.

Adjectives are used to describe personality traits. True False
Vlada [557]

Adjectives can be used to describe personality traits (e.g. stern, funny, boring, etc.) but they're not exclusively for personality traits. You can be describing something else using adjectives.

But in this case, I'd say it's true.
