Answer:

D. $1,344 unfavorable

Explanation:

We know,

Direct materials quantity variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) × Standard price

Given,

Standard Quantity = 4,440 pounds of material

Actual Quantity = 4,650 pounds of material

Standard price = $6.40

Putting the values into the above formula, we can get,

Direct materials quantity variance = (4,440 - 4,650) pounds × $6.40

or, Direct materials quantity variance = -210 pounds × $6.40

Therefore, Direct materials quantity variance = $1,344

As the actual quantity is higher than standard quantity, the situation is unfavorable. Therefore, option D is the answer.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

False

Total equivalent units    89,000 units

Explanation:

<em>Equivalent units are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion cost between work progress and completed work. These units are determined as follows:  </em>

Equivalent units = Degree of work done(%) × units of inventory

Item                                          unit                                    Equivalent unit

Opening inventory            10,000    50% ×  10,000                 5000

Fully worked unit                  80,000     100%× 80,000              80,000

Closing inventory              20,000       20% × 20,000              <u>4,000</u>

Total equivalent units                                                              <u> 89,000</u>

<u />

<u>Notes:</u>

<em>1. Fully work represent units started and completed in the same period. They exclude the opening inventory.</em>

<em>Fully worked = 90000- 10,000 =80,000.</em>

<em>2. Note also at that the degree of completion</em> for opening inventory is the simply the balance of work remaining to be done.

<em>For example, for materials, 50% of work has been done on the opening inventory in the last period, hence the balance of 50% would be done this period </em>

In one or two sentences, describe why decisions are based on expected costs and benefits.
kow [346]
<span>Generally, man wants to engage in feasible business or investment that will bring profits or benefits. Because of this, before engaging in the business or purchasing of a product, he usually weights the costs and the benefits that will be derived. If the benefits are higher than the costs, he will usually be ready to engage in the business or buy the product, but if the reverse is the case, he will see no reason for engaging in such a business.</span><span />

Giant Ltd acquired 80 percent share capital of Expert Ltd. On 1 July 2018 for a cost of $1,600,000. As at the date of acquisitio
sweet [91]

Answer and Explanation:

1. For computation of the non-controlling interest as at 30 June 2019 is shown below:-

Adjusted profit = Profit tax after the year - Unrealized gain in stock - Gain on machinery

= $200,000 - $10,500 - $10,500

= $179,000

Non-controlling interest as at 30 June 2019 = Share capital + Retained earning + General reserve + Profit of the year June 2019

= ($800,000 × 20%) + ($200,000 × 20%) + ($400,000 × 20%) + ($179,000 × 20%)

= $160,000 + $40,000 + $80,000 + $35,800

= $315,800

2. The Journal entries are shown below:-

a. Profit for the year Dr, $21,000

         To Stock reserves $10,500

         To Equipment reserve $10,500

(Being reserves is recorded)

Working note:

For stock reserve

Sale price $120,000

Cost $60,000

Profit before tax $60,000

Tax at 30% $18,000

Profit after tax $42,000

Unsold stock 25%

Unrealized profit $10,500

For net gain on sale of machinery

Sale price $80,000

Cost $60,000

Profit before tax $20,000

Tax at 30% $6,000

Profit after tax $14,000

Unsold stock 75% (3 years from 4 years)

Unrealized profit $10,500

b. Profit for the year Dr, $179,000

         To Consolidated reserves and surplus $35,800

          To Non controlling interest $143,200

(Being profit of expert ltd. is recorded)

Working note

Share of non controlling stakeholders = 20% × $179,000

= $35,800

Share of Giant Ltd. = 80% × $179,000

= $143,200

We do not make any adjustment with respect to consultancy fees

Roy Company manufactures a product in Departments A and B. Materials are added at the beginning of the process in Department B.
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Number of equivalent units= 18,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Conversion costs for Department B were 50% complete concerning the 6,000 units in the beginning work in process and 75% complete for the 8,000 units in the ending work in process. A total of 12,000 units were completed and transferred out of Department B during February.

With the information provided, we can calculate the number of equivalent units of the period.

Beginning work in process = 6,000*0.5= 3,000

Units started and completed = 12,000 - 3,000= 9,000

Ending work in process completed= 8,000*0.75= 6,000

Number of equivalent units= 18,000

Location Score
dolphi86 [110]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of composite score for each location is shown below:-

Composite score for A is

= 0.15 × 89 + .20 × 75 + 0.18 × 92 + 0.27 × 92 + 0.10 × 93 + 0.10 × 90

= 88.05

 Composite score for B is

= 0.15 × 78 + .20 × 93 + 0.18 × 90 + 0.27 × 93 + 0.10 × 97 + 0.10 × 96

= 90.91

Composite score for C is

= 0.15 × 84 + .20 × 98 + 0.18 × 87 + 0.27 × 82 + 0.10 × 84 + 0.10 × 95

= 87.90

Therefore for computing the composite score for each location we simply multiply weight with A location and in the same manner of A, B and C

b. The maximum composite score from A, B and C is B
