Answer:

None of above options are correct. 7.8% .

Explanation:

Rf = 5.5% - 1.5% = 4%

Rhri = 4% + 1.8*(10.5% - 4%) = 15.7%

Rlri = 4% + 0.6*(10.5% - 4%) = 7.9%

Difference = 15.7% - 7.9% = 7.8%

The difference (in percentage points) in the required returns for HRI and LRI is 7.8%

Direct Materials, Direct Labor, and Factory Overhead Cost Variance Analysis
seropon [69]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Mackinaw Inc. processes a base chemical into plastic. Standard costs and actual costs for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead incurred for the manufacture of 40,000 units of product were as follows:

Standard Costs - Actual Costs

Direct materials 120,000 lb. at $3.20 118,500 lb. at $3.25

Direct labor 12,000 hrs. at $24.40 11,700 hrs. at $25.00

Factory overhead Rates per direct labor hr., based on 100% of normal capacity of 15,000 direct labor hrs.:

Variable cost, $8.00 $91,200 variable cost

Fixed cost, $10.00 $150,000 fixed cost

Each unit requires 0.3 hour of direct labor.

A) Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (3.20 - 3.25)*118,500= $5925 unfavorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (120,000 - 118,500)*3.20=-$4,800 favorable

Total direct material variance= 5,925 - 4,800= 1,125 unfavorable

B)Direct labor efficiency variance= (SQ - AQ)*standard rate

Direct labor efficiency variance= (12,000 - 11,700)*24.40= -$7,320 favorable

Direct labor price variance= (SR - AR)*AQ

Direct labor price variance= (24.40 - 25)*11,700= $7,020 unfavorable

Total direct labor variance= $300 favorable

C) Variable factory overhead controllable variance= (8*15,000 - 92,100)= -$27,900 favorable

Fixed factory overhead volume variance= (10*15,000 - 150,000)= 0

Total factory overhead variance= 27,900 favorable
