Answer:

$577.5 favorable

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Standard quantity per unit 3 lbs

Standard price per pound = $2.75

Actual pounds used = 15,000 lbs

Actual price per pound = $2.90

Number of units produced = 5,070

Now,

The direct materials quantity variance is given as;

= | ( Actual quantity - Standard quantity ) | × Standard price

= ( 15,000 lbs - {Standard quantity per unit × units produced}) × $2.75

=  ( 15,000 lbs - { 3 × 5,070}) × $2.75

= | ( 15,000 lbs - 15,210 ) | × $2.75

= $577.5

Since,

Standard quantity is higher than the actual quantity

thus,

$577.5 favorable

But when there is a entry of its competitor then as a result second firm have to reduce their prices of the products as demand is elastic. We know that market is very sensitive to the prices.

If we assume that there is no fixed manufacturing overhead and the variable manufacturing overhead is $10 per direct labor-hour,
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

6,000

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. I have given the complete question in addition to my solution below.

If we assume that there is no fixed manufacturing overhead and the variable manufacturing overhead is $10 per direct labor-hour, what is the estimated finished goods inventory balance at the end of July?

Morganton Company makes one product and it provided the following information to help prepare the master budget:  

The budgeted selling price per unit is $70. Budgeted unit sales for June, July, August, and September are 9,700, 28,000, 30,000, and 31,000 units, respectively. All sales are on credit.

Forty percent of credit sales are collected in the month of the sale and 60% in the following month.

The ending finished goods inventory equals 20% of the following month’s unit sales.

The ending raw materials inventory equals 10% of the following month’s raw materials production needs. Each unit of finished goods requires 4 pounds of raw materials. The raw materials cost $2.50 per pound.

Thirty percent of raw materials purchases are paid for in the month of purchase and 70% in the following month.

The direct labor wage rate is $15 per hour. Each unit of finished goods requires two direct labor-hours.

The variable selling and administrative expense per unit sold is $1.70. The fixed selling and administrative expense per month is $67,000.

Variable manufacturing overhead = $10 per direct labor hour

Amount of time required to finish one unit of goods = 2 hours

Direct labor wage rate = $15 per hour

Amount of raw materials required to finish one unit of goods = 4 pounds

Cost of raw materials = $2.50 per pound

Budgeted selling price per unit = $70

Budgeted unit sales for August = 30,000

Therefore, Unit costs = (4*2.50)+(15*2)+(10*2) = $60 per unit

And cost of goods sold = 28,000 * 60 = $1,680,000

(Gross margin) = (70-60)*28,000

= $280,000

The ending finished goods inventory balance for July = 20% of the following month's (August’s) unit sales.

= 0.20 * 30,000 = 6,000

In 2013, Natural Selection, a nationwide computer dating service, had $500 million of assets and $200 million of liabilities. Ea
Allisa [31]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a)  Liabilities to equity ratio is

= $200 ÷ ($500 - $200)

= 0.667

Times interest earned ratio is

= EBIT ÷ Interest expense

= $120 ÷ $28

= 4.285

Times burden covered is

= EBIT ÷  (Interest +Principal repayment ÷ ( 1 -tax rate))

= 120 ÷ (28+24 ÷ (1-0.4))

= 1.764

b)

Interest paying requirements  

= ($128 - $20) ÷ 120

= 76.7%

Principal and interest requirements  

= [$120 - ($28 + $24 ÷ (1-0.4))] ÷ 120

= 0.433 or 43.3%

Principal, Interest and Common dividend payments -

= [$120 - ($28 + (($24 + 0.3 × 20) ÷ (1 - 0.4))] ÷ 120

= 0.35 or 35%
