After evaluating Null Company’s manufacturing process, management decides to establish standards of 3 hours of direct labor per

unit of product and $15 per hour for the labor rate. During October, the company uses 16,250 hours of direct labor at a $247,000 total cost to produce 5,600 units of product. In November, the company uses 22,000 hours of direct labor at a $335,500 total cost to produce 6,000 units of product. AH = Actual Hours SH = Standard Hours AR = Actual Rate SR = Standard Rate (1) Compute the direct labor rate variance, the direct labor efficiency variance, and the total direct labor cost variance for each of these two months. Classify each variance as favorable or unfavorable.

Answer:

Direct labor rate variance = (SR - AR) \times AH

October = ($15 - $15.20)  \times 16,250 = - $3,250 Unfavorable

November = ($15 - $15.25)  \times  22,000 = - $5,500 Unfavorable

Direct Labor Efficiency Variance = (SH - AH)  \times  SR

October = (16,800 - 16,250)  \times $15 = 8,250 Favorable

November = (18,000 - 22,000) \times $15 = - $60,000 Unfavorable

Direct Labor Cost Variance = Standard Cost - Actual Cost

October = $252,000 - $247,000 = $5,000 Favorable

November = $270,000 - $335,500 = - $65,500 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Computing variances for each month

Particulars                            October                  November          Equation

Total units produced           5,600 units             6,000 units            (a)

Standard hour per unit           3 hours                   3 hours                (b)

Total standard hour SH          16,800                   18,000              (c) = (a)*(b)

Total standard cost

of labor @ $15 SR per hour  $252,000                $270,000          (d) = (c) * 15

Actual hours used AH           16,250                    22,000                  (e)

Actual cost                            $247,000               $335,500                (f)

Actual Rate per hour AR          $15.20                   $15.25              (g) = (f)/(e)

Using the above information we have

Direct labor rate variance = (SR - AR) \times AH

October = ($15 - $15.20)  \times 16,250 = - $3,250 Unfavorable

November = ($15 - $15.25)  \times  22,000 = - $5,500 Unfavorable

Direct Labor Efficiency Variance = (SH - AH)  \times  SR

October = (16,800 - 16,250)  \times $15 = 8,250 Favorable

November = (18,000 - 22,000) \times $15 = - $60,000 Unfavorable

Direct Labor Cost Variance = Standard Cost - Actual Cost

October = $252,000 - $247,000 = $5,000 Favorable

November = $270,000 - $335,500 = - $65,500 Unfavorable

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The amount Clydesdale should report as a deferred tax liability at December 31, 2017 is  $214,840

Explanation:

The computation of the deferred tax liability is shown below:

= 2018 difference × Enacted tax rates + 2019 difference × Enacted tax rates + 2020 difference × Enacted tax rates

= $42,000 × 34% + $244,000 × 34% + $294,000 × 40%

= $14,280 + $82,960 + $117,600

= $214,840

We considered the difference of each year and its enacted tax rates. Th depreciation is not relevant. Hence, we ignored it

Regina finds a new car costing $25,000 and a used car costing $17,000. Which car will have higher insurance premiums and why?
GaryK [48]
The used car will have higher insurance premiums because there is a higher chance that it will malfunction and that they will have to pay for your expenses. A new car is cheaper when it comes to premiums because it is expected to last and the insurance companies are safer in this regard.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Equivalents Units Of Production   Materials=  475,000  

Conversion Costs 450,000    

Cost of Completed Units =$ 5138250

Cost of Units in the Ending Inventory           $ 604,500

Explanation:

Direct materials costs of $ 935,750

Conversion costs of $ 4,554,000

Total Manufacturing Costs  $ 5489,750

                           Units                 % of Completion                EUP

                                                D.M         C.C                   D.M         C.C

         

Units completed 425,000     100           100              425,000      425,000

Ending Inventory  50,000      100           50                50,000        25000

Total Units Of Production                                        475,000        450,000                

Direct Materials= $ 935,750/ 475000= $ 1.97

Conversion Costs = $ 4,554,000/ 450,000= $ 10.12

Cost of Completed Units =$ 5138250

Direct Materials = 425,000 * 1.97= $ 837250

Conversion Costs = 425,000 *10.12= $ 4301,000

Total Cost of Manufacturing Units= $ 5138250

Cost of Units in the Ending Inventory           $ 604,500    

Direct Materials = 50,000 * 1.97= $ 98,500

Conversion Costs = 50,000 * 10.12= 506000

Total Costs                  $ 604,500
