The budget for the month of May was for 11,200 units at a direct materials cost of $19 per unit. Direct labor was budgeted at 28

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Direct labor price(rate) variance = $1,675 (unfavorable)

Direct labor efficiency variance = 0

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Number of units = 11,200

cost = $19 per unit

Labor budgeted = at 28 minutes per unit

Total budget = $100,800

Actual output = 8,900 units

Direct material expense = $137,500

Direct labor expense = $81,775

As per the following formula,

Direct labor price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) × Actual hour

= ($81,775 ÷ 8900 × 2 - $100,800 ÷ 11,200 × 2) × 8,900 ÷ 2

= $1,675 (unfavorable)

Direct labor efficiency variance = (Actual hour - Standard hour) × Standard price

= (8,900 × 28 ÷ 60 - 8,900 × 28 ÷ 60 ) × $100,800 ÷ 11,200 × 2

= 0

A company’s total monthly sales (in millions of dollars) t months from now are given by:

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

a) $\frac{dS}{dt}=S'(t)= 2(0.5) t +3 = t+3$

b) $S(4) = 0.5*(4^2) +3(4) -5=15 million$

c) For this case we have the total sales $ 15 millions after t =4 months

d) $S'(4) = 4+3 = 7 million$

e) This value represent the increase in the amount of sales in millions after t=4 months

Explanation:

For this case we have the following function for the sales

$S(t) = 0.5 t^2 +3t -5$

Part a

For this case we want to find the derivate of S respect to t and we got:

$\frac{dS}{dt}=S'(t)= 2(0.5) t +3 = t+3$

Part b

For this case we want to find the value of S when t = 4 so if we replace we got:

$S(4) = 0.5*(4^2) +3(4) -5=15 million$

Part c

For this case we have the total sales $ 15 millions after t =4 months

Part d

For this case we just need to replace t=4 in the derivate and we got:

$S'(4) = 4+3 = 7 million$

Part e

This value represent the increase in the amount of sales in millions after t=4 months

Mobray Corp. is experiencing rapid growth. Dividends are expected to grow at 32 percent per year during the next three years, 22

KatRina [158]

Answer:

$1.3794

Explanation:

The computation of the projected dividend for the coming year is shown below:

Last year dividend paid = Do

Expected Dividend in Year 1 (D1) = Do ( 1+g) = Do × 1.32

Dividend in Year 2 (D2) = Do ( 1+g)^2 = Do × 1.32^2

Dividend in Year 3 (D3) = Do ( 1+g)^3 = Do × 1.32^3

Dividend in year 4 , (D4) = D3 × (1+g) = Do × 1.32^3 × 1.22

Now the price at year 4 is

P4 = D4 × (1+g) ÷ ( R-g )

= Do × 1.32^3 × 1.22 × (1 + 0.07 ) ÷ ( 0.10 - 0.07 )

= Do × 100.08

Use Gordon Growth Model

The Current Price of Stock is

= D1 ÷ ( 1+ R)^1 +D2 ÷ ( 1+ R)^2 + D3 ÷ ( 1+ R)^3 + D4 ÷ ( 1+ R)^4 + P4 ÷ ( 1+ R)^4

$78 = Do ( 1.32 ÷ 1.1 + 1.32^2 ÷ 1.1 ^2 + 1.32^3 ÷ 1.1^3 +1.32^3 × 1.22 ÷ 1.1^4 + 100 .08 ÷ 1.1^4)

$78 = Do ( 1.2 +1.44 + 1.728 + 1.9165 + 68.36 )

Do = $1.045

Now

Projected Dividend for Year 1 is

= Do × 1.32

= $1.045 × 1.32

= $1.3794
