Answer:

$5,040

Explanation:

<em>LIFO</em> is better matching with Cost, Sales and Revenue when we have increase in prices. In this example we have been given we can see that the prices are rising as well.

To calculate the Ending Inventory let us first calculate our <em>Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)</em>:

So when we are talking about LIFO the very recent units we have purchased goes into the COGS. So if Marvin Company has sold 2,300 units during the period, we can calculate the COGS of 2,300 units as follows;

<em>Mar 23:</em> 600 x $7.35 = $4,410

<em>Mar 16:</em> 800 x $7.30 = $5,840

<em>Mar 10:</em> 600 x $7.25 = $4,350

Now all of the above accumulate to 2,000 units. But Marvin Company has sold 2,300 units. So we are short of 300 units in order to find the COGS of 2,300 units. For that we are going to take 300 units from our beginning inventory.

<em>Mar 1:</em> 300 x $7.20 = $2,160

Hence,

COGS = $4,410 + $5,840 + $4,350 + $2,160

COGS = $16,760

The remaining 700 units will go into the Ending Inventory and can be calculated as follows:

Ending Inventory = 700 x $7.20

Ending Inventory = $5,040

Becton Labs, Inc., produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared using an ela
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Becton Labs, Inc.

1. Direct materials:

a. Price variance

= $20,600 Favorable

Quantity variance

= $1,890 Unfavorable

b. The company can sign the contract provided it is made clear to the new supplier that price variations would not be welcome shortly after signing the contract, but will depend on the market realities.

2. Direct labor:

a. Direct labor rate and efficiency variances:

Direct labor rate variance

= $3,200 Favorable

Efficiency variance

= $8,160 Unfavorable

b. I would not recommend that the new labor mix be continued.  The old mix may be working better because the labor efficiency cost increased with the new mix labor mix.

3. The variable overhead rate and efficiency variances:

Variable overhead rate variance

= $5,200 Favorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance

= $2,380 Unfavorable

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Standard  Costs for 1 Unit of Fludex:

                                              Standard              Standard      Standard Cost

                                        Quantity or Hours   Price or Rate  

Direct materials                     2.40 ounces    $27.00 per ounce   $64.80

Direct labor                           0.60 hours        $12.00 per hour          7.20

Variable manufacturing

overhead                             0.60 hours          $3.50 per hour          2.10

Total standard cost per unit                                                           $74.10

Activities recorded during November:

a. Materials purchased = 13,000 ounces at $330,300

Each ounce = $25.41 (330,300/13,000)

b. Materials used for production = 10,150 ounces (13,000 - 2,850)

Standard materials = 4,200 * 2.40 = 10,080 ounces

c. Direct labor hours = 20 * 160 = 3,200 hours

Standard labor hours = 0.60 * 4,200 = 2,520

Average labor rate = $11.00 per hour

Direct labor costs = $35,200 ($11.00 * 3,200)

d. Standard variable overhead = $11,200 (3,200 *$3.50)

Actual overhead incurred = $6,000

Actual overhead rate = $1.43 ($6,000/4,200)

e. Units produced = 4,200

1. Direct materials:

a. Price variance = (Actual price - standard price)* Actual units

= ($25.41 - $27.00)13,000 = $20,600 F

Quantity variance = (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) Standard Cost

= (10,150 - 10,080) * $27.00

= $1,890 U

b. The company can sign the contract provided it is made clear to the new supplier that price variations would not be welcome shortly after signing the contract, but will depend on the market realities.

2. Direct labor:

a. Direct labor rate and efficiency variances:

Direct labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours

= ($11 - $12) * 3,200 = $3,200 Favorable

Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard rate

= (3,200 - 2,520) * $12

= $8,160 Unfavorable

b. I would not recommend that the new labor mix be continued.  The old may be working better because the labor efficiency cost increased.

3. The variable overhead rate and efficiency variances:

Variable overhead rate variance = Actual costs − (AH × SR)

= $6,000 - (3,200 * $3.50)

= $6,000 - $11,200

= $5,200 Favorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance =  (AH − SH) × SR

= (3,200 - 2,520) * $3.50

= $2,380 Unfavorable

On April 1, 2016, the premium on a one-year insurance policy was purchased for $3,000 cash with the insurance coverage beginning
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

C. Insurance expense will increase $2,250

Explanation:

On April 1 2016, the following journal entry will be recorded in respect of the premium paid on a one year insurance policy:

                                                         Debit                       Credit

Prepaid Insurance                          $3,000

Cash                                                                                  $3,000                                                                                                      

The year end given in this question is December 31, 2016 and the insurance premium is for one year and since the insurance premium is paid on April 1, 2016, therefore, only expense in respect of 9 months i.e. from April 1, 2016 to the December 31, 2016 will be recognised in this year. Remaining expense of three months will be recognised in the Year ended December 31,2017.

The following Journal entry will be recorded in respect of insurance expense in accounts on December 31, 2016.

                                                                   Debit             Credit

Insurance expense(3,000*9/12)               2,250

Prepaid Insurance                                                            2,250                    

So the answer will be C. Insurance expense will increase $2,250

January= 7,000 units

February= 5,000 units

Selling price= $2

The sales revenue reflected in the sales budget is the result of multiplying the number of units sold with the selling price.

January:

Sales revenue= 7,000*2= $14,000

February:

Sales revenue= 5,000*2= $10,000
