LO 8.5When might an unfavorable variance be a good outcome?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: An unfavorable variance can be used to detect a drop in estimated income early, and then solutions to the challenge can be identified.

Explanation:

An unfavorable variance is the difference between a company's projected expectation and the actual outcome of a financial activity of the company, where the actual outcome is less favorable than the projected expectation.

The information from an unfavorable variance can help alert a company to a negative outcome early, and the company's leadership can then find ways of solving the cause of the negative outcome.

Garth decided to move out of a small homestead home and into a larger more expensive one. The market value of his old home at th

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

$200,000

Explanation:

we must first determine the assessed value not taxed on Garth's old home:

market value of Garth's old home - assessed value = $250,000 - $175,000 = $75,000

now we subtract $75,000 from the market value of Garth's new home:

$325,000 - $75,000 = $250,000 = adjusted assessed value of Garth's new home

The taxable value of Garth's new home (for city taxes) = adjusted assessed value - homestead exemptions (for city taxes) = $250,000 - $50,000 = $200,000

Importance of the different types of elasticity

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Elasticity is an important economic measure, particularly for the sellers of goods or services, because it indicates how much of a good or service buyers consume when the price changes. When a product is elastic, a change in price quickly results in a change in the quantity demanded.The concept of elasticity for demand is of great importance for determining prices of various factors of production. Factors of production are paid according to their elasticity of demand. In other words, if the demand of a factor is inelastic, its price will be high and if it is elastic, its price will be low.

When each person specializes in producing the good in which he or she has a comparative advantage, total production in the econo

OLga [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is c) rises.

Explanation:

Each country in question will specialize in what is most efficient. At the same time, it will import the rest of the products in which they are most ineffective in terms of production. Although a country does not have an absolute advantage in producing any good, it may specialize in those goods in which it finds a greater comparative advantage and finally participate in the international market. In this sense, it can boost its foreign trade.

It is then the basic idea that countries choose to specialize in order to trade in activities where they have a certain advantage. That is, instead of producing what they do best in an absolute way, they produce what they do best in a relative way. Therefore, the difference with the theory of absolute advantage is that it does not produce what the country costs less, but the one with lower comparative costs.

The production department of Priston Company has submitted the following forecast of units to be produced by quarter for the upc

Levart [38]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

1st Quarter - 2nd Quarter - 3rd Quarter - 4th Quarter

Units to be produced: 6,000 - 7,000 - 8,000 - 5,000

the beginning raw materials inventory= 3,600

Each unit requires three pounds of raw material that costs $2.50 per pound. Management desires to end each quarter with a raw materials inventory equal to 20% of the following quarter

I will assume that the requirements are the cost of direct material for each quarter.

The direct material budget is calculated by the following formula:

Direct material budget= direct material for production + ending inventory - beginning inventory

Q1:

Production= (6,000*3)*$2.5= $45,000

Ending inventory= [(7,000*3)*$2.5]*0.20= $10,500

Beginning inventory= (3,600*2.5)= (9,000)

Total= $46,500

Q2:

Production= (7,000*3)*$2.5= $52,500

Ending inventory= [(8,000*3)*$2.5]*0.20= $12,000

Beginning inventory= (10,500)

Total= $54,000

Q3:

Production= (8,000*3)*$2.5= $60,000

Ending inventory= [(5,000*3)*$2.5]*0.20= $7,500

Beginning inventory= (12,000)

Total= $55,500

Boise Timber Co. computes its break-even point strictly on the basis of cash expenditures related to fixed costs. Its total fixe

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

285,000 units

Explanation:

The computation of the cash break-even point of sales units is shown below:

Cash break-even point = (Fixed cost - depreciation) ÷ (contribution margin per unit)

where,

Fixed cost = $7,600,000

Depreciation = $7,600,000 × 0.25% = $1,900,000

And, the contribution margin per unit is $20

So, the cash break-even point of sales units is

= ($7,600,000 - $1,900,000) ÷ ($20)

= 285,000 units
