Firm M's earnings and stock price tend to move up and down with other firms in the S&P 500, while Firm W's earnings and stoc

k price move counter cyclically with M and other S&P companies. Both M and W estimate their costs of equity using the CAPM, they have identical market values, their standard deviations of returns are identical, and they both finance only with common equity. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a. M and W should have identical WACCs because their risks as measured by the standard deviation of returns are identical.
b. M should have the lower WACC because it is like most other companies, and investors like that fact.
c. If M and W merge, then the merged firm MW should have a WACC that is a simple average of M's and W's WACCs.
d. Without additional information, it is impossible to predict what the merged firm's WACC would be if M and W merged.
e. Since M and W move counter cyclically to one another, if they merged, the merged firm's WACC would be less than the simple average of the two firms' WACCs.

Sharp Company manufactures a product for which the following standards have been set: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Direct labor cost = $51450

Direct labor hours 4677.27

Direct labor per hour 1.46

Explanation:

Sharp Company

Given Data

Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost

Direct materials 3 feet $ 11 per foot $ 33

Direct labor ? hours ? per hour ?

Materials quantity variance $ 4,400 U

Labor spending variance $ 450 F

Labor efficiency variance $ 2,000 U

1.a.  The Actual Cost per foot of materials for March=$111,300/10000=$ 11.13

Materials quantity variance $ 4,400 U =(Standard Price * Actual Quantity)-(Standard Price * Standard Quantity)

$ 4,400 U = 11* AQ- 11*3 feet*3200

$ 4400= 11* AQ- 105600

$ 4400+ $105600=  11* AQ

AQ =110000/11= 10,000

b. Materials price variance = Actual Price *Actual Quantity - Standard Price * Actual Quantity

Materials price variance =Actual Price *Actual Quantity - Standard Price * Actual Quantity  

Materials price variance =$ 11.13* 10000- 11*10000

Materials price variance=$111,300-110000=1300 Unfavorable

Spending variance= Purchase Price Variance + Materials quantity variance

Spending variance= 1300 Unfavorable + $ 4,400 U= 5700 Unfavorable

2.  Labor spending variance $ 450 F =Labor efficiency variance $ 2,000 U+Direct Labor rate per hour

a. Direct Labor rate per hour =Labor efficiency variance + Labor spending variance =$ 2,000 +$ 450 =$ 2450 Unfav

Direct Labor rate per hour =(actual hours* actual rate)- (actual hours * standard rate)

Direct labor time variance= (actual hours* standard rate)- (standard hours * standard rate)

$ 2450 Unfav= 4900*11- standard hours * 11

standard hours *11= 53900- 2450= 51450

b. Standard Hours= 51450/11= 4677.27

c. Standard Hours per unit of product=  4677.27/3200= 1.46

Actual Hours= 4900/3200= 1.53125
