Answer:
1,370.85 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Standard rate
:
= Budgeted variable overhead costs ÷ Budgeted direct labor hours
= $13500 ÷ 640
Direct labor hours = $21.09 per direct labor hour
Standard time to produce goods
:
= Budgeted direct labor hours ÷ Production volume
= 640 ÷ 6,400
= 0.10 hours
VOH Efficiency Variance
= ( SH − AH ) × SR
where,
SH are standard direct labor hours allowed
AH are the actual direct labor hours
SR is the standard variable overhead rate
(SH − AH ) × SR
= [(4,200 × 0.10) - 485] × $21.09
= (420 - 485) × $21.09
= 1,370.85 Unfavorable

Answer:
A. 3.21 years
Explanation:
In the payback, we analyze in how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:
In year 0 = $7,500
In year 1 = $1,100
In year 2 = $1,640
In year 3 = $3,800
In year 4 = $4,500
If we sum the first 3 year cash inflows than it would be $6,540
Now we deduct the $6,540 from the $7,500 , so the amount would be $960 as if we added the fourth year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it
And, the next year cash inflow is $4,500
So, the payback period equal to
= 3 years + $960 ÷ $4,500
= 3.21 years
In 3.21 yeas, the invested amount is recovered.
