Answer:

1. $3.20 x 2.20 = $7.04

2. It will be favorable.

3. It will be unfavorable.

4. Direct material price variance = $22

Direct material quantity variance = 0.48

Explanation:

1. Standard direct cost per unit=cost of direct materials price x direct material standard quantity per unit.

2. It will be favorable because they expected or had budgeted to pay $3.60 per foot for the material but the actual cost became $3.20. So they pay $0.40 less than they had expected to pay.

3. It will be unfavorable because they had planed or budgeted for each unit to use 2.05 feet of leather but they ended up needing 2.20 feet of leather per collar so that means they under budgeted by 0.15 feet.

4. Direct material price variance =( $3.60 x 55) less ($3.20x55)=$22

The total amount that was budgeted or expected to be paid is subtracted from the total actual price that was paid.

Direct material quantity variance = (2.05x$3.20) less (2.20x$3.20)= -0.48

The total direct material quantity that is used is subtracted from the quantity that was expected to be used.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= $17,600 ($16.00 selling price per unit)

Contribution margin 7,920

Fixed expenses 3,600

First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:

Units sold= 17,600/16= 1,100 units

Unitary contribution margin= 7,920/1,100= $7.2

Now, using the following formulas, we can calculate the break-even point in units and dollars:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 3,600/7.2= 500 units

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 3,600/ (7.2/16)

Break-even point (dollars)=$8,000
