Answer:

Pattison Corporation

Activity Variance for "Travel expenses" for May would have been closest to:

$1,500 Favorable

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

                           Fixed Element         Variable Element per  

                              per Month              Customer Served

Revenue                                                        $5,500

Employee salaries

 and wages            $46,300                         $1,000

Travel expenses                                             $ 500

Other expenses    $32,500

The Travel Expenses Activity Variance = Actual cost minus budgeted cost

= $8,500 - $10,000

= $1,500 Favorable

Actual travel expenses = ($500 x 17)

= $8,500

Budgeted travel expenses =  ($500 x 20)

= $10,000

Pattison Corporation's activity variance for Travel Expenses for the month of May is the difference between the actual travel expenses and the budgeted travel expenses.  The budgeted expenses are based on budgeted number of customers served in May while the actual expenses are based on actual number of customers served in May.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

11.11%

Explanation:

<em><u>The full question with table is attached.</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

We need the rate of return formula using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The formula is:

R=R_f+\beta(R_m-R_f)

Where

R is rate of return (what we need)

R_f is risk-free return rate (5% = 0.05)

R_m is the market rate of return (11% = 0.11)

To get \beta, we take the weighted average of the portfolio.

Weight of Stock A = 1,075,000/3,000,000 = 0.3583

Weight of Stock B = 675,000/3,000,000 = 0.225

Weight of Stock C = 750,000/3,000,000 = 0.25

Weight of Stock D = 500,000/3,000,000 = 0.1667

Portfolio Beta = (0.3583*1.2) + (0.225*0.50) + (0.25*1.40) + (0.1667*0.75) = 1.02  

Now, we calculate rate of return using CAPM formula:

R=R_f+\beta(R_m-R_f)\\R=0.05+1.02(0.11-0.05)\\R=0.1112

That is 11.12%, or from answer choice, it is <u>11.11%</u>

Doss [256]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>1) Direct materials are those materials and supplies that are consumed during the manufacture of a product, and which are directly identified with that product.</u>

<u></u>

Direct material= Thread + Premium quality cotton material + Buttons

Direct material= 1,000 + 42,000 + 750

Direct material= $43,750

<u>2) Direct labor is production or service labor that is assigned to a specific product, cost center, or work order.  </u>

Direct labor= Wages paid to seamstresses  + Wages paid to cutters Direct labor= 75,000 + 50,000

Direct labor=  $125,000

<u>3) Manufacturing overhead refers to indirect factory-related costs that are incurred when a product is manufactured</u><u>.</u>

Manufacturing overhead= Factory rent + Utilities for factory + Cutting room supervisor's salary + Factory insurance + Depreciation on sewing machines

Manufacturing overhead= 42,000 + 22,000 + 30,000 + 15,000 + 6,000

Manufacturing overhead= $115,000

4) Total manufacturing costs= 43,750 + 125,000 + 115,000

Total manufacturing costs= $283,750

5) Prime cost= direct material + direct labor

Prime cost= 43,750 + 125,000

Prime cost= $168,750

6) Conversion cost= direct labor + MOH

Conversion cost= 125,000 + 115,000

Conversion cost= $240,000

7) <u>Period costs are not directly tied to the production process</u>. Overhead or sales, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs are considered period costs. SG&A includes costs of the corporate office, selling, marketing, and the overall administration of company business.

Period costs= Company advertising + Depreciation on salespersons' vehicles + President's salary

Period costs= 18,000 + 25,000 + 75,000

Period costs= $118,000
