MILLS ALLOCATES MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD TO PRODUCTION BASED ON STANDARD DIRECT LABOR HOURS. MILLS REPORTED THE FOLLOWING ACTUAL R

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

1. Compute the variable overhead cost and efficiency variances and fixed overhead cost and volume variances.

variable overhead cost variance = $1,000 unfavorable
variable efficiency variance = -$1,200 favorable
fixed overhead costs = $1,500 unfavorable
fixed overhead volume variance = -$100 favorable

2. EXPLAIN (as best you can) why the variances are favorable or unfavorable. Based on cost and efficiency budget standards.

variable overhead cost variance is unfavorable because actual variable overhead costs per unit are higher than budgeted.
variable efficiency variance is favorable because the company used less direct labor hours than budgeted to produce a higher amount of units (1,600 vs. 2,000).
fixed overhead costs are unfavorable because total fixed overhead costs were much higher than budgeted, but most of this variance can be explained by higher output.
fixed overhead volume variance are favorable because a higher volume was produced using less hours than budgeted.

Explanation:

Static budget variable overhead $1,200

Actual variable overhead $4,000

Static budget fixed overhead $1,600

Actual fixed overhead $3,100

Static budget direct labor hours 800 hours

Actual direct labor hours 1,600

Static budget number of units 400 units

Actual units produced 1,000

Standard direct labor hours 2 hours per unit

Actual direct labor hours 1.6 per unit

standard variable rate = $1,200 / 400 units = $3 per unit

actual variable rate = $4,000 / 1,000 units = $4 per unit

standard fixed rate = $1,600 / 800 hours = $2 per hour

actual fixed rate = $3,100 / 1,600 hours = $1.9375 per hour

variable overhead cost variance = actual costs - (standard rate x actual units) = $4,000 - ($3 x 1,000) = $1,000 unfavorable

variable efficiency variance = (actual hours x standard rate) - (standard hours x standard rate) = (1,600 × $3) − (2,000 x $3) = $4,800 - $6,000 = -$1,200 favorable

fixed overhead costs = actual overhead costs - budgeted overhead costs = $3,100 - $1,600 = $1,500 unfavorable

fixed overhead volume variance = (actual fixed rate x actual hours) - (standard rate x actual hours) = ($1.9375 x 1,600) - ($ x 1,600) = $3,100 - $3,200 = -$100 favorable

What does increasing marginal opportunity costs mean? A. Increasing the production of a good requires smaller and smaller decre

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

B. Increasing the production of a good requires larger and larger decreases in the production of another good.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost refers to the foregone units of production of a good in exchange for producing units of another good.

Marginal cost on the other hand refers to additional cost incurred when an additional unit is produced.

Marginal opportunity cost relates to the additional opportunity cost incurred when additional unit of second good is produced in exchange for foregoing or sacrificing units of production of first good.

Increasing marginal opportunity cost would mean as more and more units of good A are produced, for each extra unit of production of Good A, higher units of production of Good B are sacrificed i.e larger and larger decrease in the production of another good.

Fill in the blanks to complete the sentence. A manufacturing company has budgeted production at 5,000 units for May and 4,400 un

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Direct material purchases in May = 21,670× $10= $216,700

Explanation:

Material purchase budget is determined by adding the closing inventory of material to the material usage budget less the opening inventory.

Material budgets for May will be prepared as follows:

Materials needed for May production = 5,500 × 3 = 16,500

Materials needed for June production = 4,400× 3= 13,200

Closing inventory of raw material in May =60% × June requirement = 60% × 13,200 =7,920

Material purchase budget for February = Usage budget + closing inventory - opening inventory

= 16,500 + 7,920- 2,750=21,670

Direct material purchases in May = 21,670× $10= $216,700

The present Value of the growing annuity= $1,158,092.68

Explanation:

The present value of the growing annuity is going to be computed as follows:

PV = A/(r-g) × (1- (1+g/1+r)^n)

A- annual cash flow- $87,460

g- growth rate - 6.3%

n- number of years =73

r- discount rate - 13.8%

I will break out the formula into two parts to make the workings very clear to follow. So applying this formula, we can work out the present value of the growing annuity as follows.

A/(r-g) = 87,460/(0.138-0.063) =1,166,133.33

(1- (1+g/1+r)^n) = 1- (1.063/1.138)^73 =0.9931

PV = A/(r-g) × (1- (1+g/1+r)^n)

166,133.33× 0.9931 = 1,158,092.68

The present Value of the growing annuity= $1,158,092.68
