Electro Company manufactures an innovative automobile transmission for electric cars. Management predicts that ending finished g

oods inventory for the first quarter will be 208,500 units. The following unit sales of the transmissions are expected during the rest of the year: second quarter, 417,000 units; third quarter, 469,000 units; and fourth quarter, 289,500 units. Company policy calls for the ending finished goods inventory of a quarter to equal 50% of the next quarter's budgeted sales.
Required:
Prepare a production budget for both the second and third quarters that shows the number of transmissions to manufacture.

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory= 208,500 units.

Sales:

second quarter= 417,000 units

third quarter= 469,000 units

fourth quarter= 289,500 units.

Desired ending inventory= 50% of the next quarter's budgeted sales.

To calculate the production for each quarter, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Second-quarter:

Sales= 417,000

Desired ending inventory= 0.5*469,000= 234,500

Beginning inventory= (208,500)

Total production= 443,000

Third-quarter:

Sales= 469,000

Desired ending inventory= 0.5*289,500= 144,750

Beginning inventory= (234,500)

Total production= 379,250

E10-1 On March 1, 2021, Beldon Corporation purchased land as a factory site for $60,000. An old building on the property was dem
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The amounts that Beldon should capitalize as the cost of the land and the new building is $64,900 and $528,500 respectively

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

For land:

= Purchase value of the land + Demolition of old building + Legal fees for title investigation of land - Salvaged materials

= $60,000 + $4,500 + $2,500 - $2,100

= $64,900

For building:

= Architect’s fees (for new building) + Construction costs + Interest on construction loan

= $13,000 + $510,000 + $5,500

= $528,500

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

liraira [26]

Answer:

C. the money supply to fall.

Explanation:

According to my research on economics, I can say that based on the information provided within the question an increase in currency holdings will cause the money supply to fall. This is because if people begin to hold this causes the cash flow to decrease and money supply decreases because of the low cash flow.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

o-na [289]

Answer:

A Mortgage Backed Bond is:

e. A loan in which security interest in real estate is granted by a borrower.

Explanation:

A mortgage backed bond is tied to or secured on a real estate asset.  This implies that the bond is not just a promise to pay a debt obligation but the attached promise is secured or backed by some real assets.  There is extra security provided for the bond because specific assets are identified as securities for the bond.  Since the bonds are associated with some real assets, the assets can be traded in the event that the debt obligations are not met.
