Answer:
LeCompte Corp.
The profit margin that LeCompte Corp. would need in order to achieve the 15% ROE, holding everything else constant is:
A) 7.57%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Assets = $312,900
Common Equity = Assets = $312,900
Sales for the last year = $620,000
Net income after taxes = $24,655
Expected return on equity (ROE) = 15%
ROE (in amount) = $312,900 * 15% = $46,935
Profit margin = Returns on Equity/ Sales * 100
= $46,935/$620,000 * 100
= 7.57%
b) The expected returns on equity in dollars is equal to the net income. Therefore, we can use the ROE to calculate the profit margin. The profit margin expresses the relationship between sales and profit. It shows the profit made from each dollar sales.
Answer:
Total variation= $363 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sheridan Company’s standard labor cost per unit of output is $33.00 (3.00 hours x $11.00 per hour). During August, the company incurs 2,970 hours of direct labor at an hourly cost of $12.10 per hour in making 1,100 units of finished product.
Direct labor efficiency variance= (SQ - AQ)*standard rate
Direct labor efficiency variance= (3,300 - 2,970)*11= 3,630 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (11 - 12.1)*2,970= 3,267 unfavorable
Total variation= 363 favorable
