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

In the following examples, state how you would use the principle of marginal analysis to make a decision.
kogti [31]

Answer:

Human beings make decisions at the margin which means that they make decisions depending on if the marginal benefits outweigh the marginal cost.

a. Deciding how many days to wait before doing your laundry.

Here the marginal benefit of waiting before you do your laundry is that you will have extra time to do other things you want to do. The marginal cost however would be that you will keep having less and less clothes to be able to choose from. Therefore the amount of time that you will take before doing your laundry depends on whether you value your free time over the amount of clothes you have to choose from.

b. Deciding how much library research to do before writing your term paper.

The marginal benefit here would be that if you use a lot of research your work will be more in-depth as you will find more information ( past or present) that will help you do the research. The marginal cost however is that you will have less time to do other things such as going to classes. Your decision would depend on if you think the research is more important than time for those other things or vice versa.

c. Deciding how many bags of chips to eat

Marginal benefit would be satiating your hunger. Marginal cost would be the calories you might gain as well as the cost of the chips. You will make a decision depending on if you believe the hunger being satiated is more beneficial than the calories gained and the money spent.

d. Deciding how many lectures of a class to skip

Like the first decision, the marginal benefit here would be the extra time you would gain to do other things. The marginal cost however, would be the risk of falling behind on material. Your decision will depend on if you value your extra time more than falling behind. If you do, you will miss more lectures. If you don't you will miss less lectures.

Oslo Company prepared the following contribution format income statement based on a sales volume of 1,000 units (the relevant ra
melomori [17]

Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Variable Expense Ratio is calculated by taking Variable Expense and dividing it by Sales. This ratio indicates how much of the variable expense is incurred by company for each $1 Sales.

So, variable expense ratio is .6 or 60% (33,000 / 55,000).

Such questions also require the calculation of Contribution Margin Ratio which is calculated by taking Contribution Margin and Dividing it by Sales. This ratio tells us how much the company generates after covering variables expenses when the sales are $1.

So, Contribution Margin Ratio is .4 or 40% (22,000 / 55,000).

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

It is cheaper to buy the product.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production:

Direct material $45,000

Direct labor 30,000

Factory overhead (30 % is variable ) 98,000

Buy:

Total cost= $100,000

<u>I will assume that none of the fixed overhead avoidable. Therefore, we will take into account only the variable overhead.</u>

Total variable production cost= 45,000 + 30,000 + (98,000*0.3)

Total variable production cost= $104,400

It is cheaper to buy the product.
