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.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The right answer is a.

Explanation:

In order to calculate Daniel's basis in his partnership interest, first we have to calculate daniel share of the partnership liabilities.

According to the details, Daniel acquires a 30% interest in the PPZ Partnership from Paolo, and The PPZ Partnership has borrowed $14,000 of recourse liabilities as of the date Daniel bought the interest, hence

daniel share of the partnership liabilities = 14,000 * 30% = $4,200

Hence, Daniel's basis in his partnership interest= 43,000 + 4,200 = $47,200
