<u>Explanation:</u>

1. Calculation of labor spending variance for the month of march

Labor spending variance = (Actual rate x actual hours)- (Standard rate x Standard hours)

=(13 x 63000) - (12 x (26000 x 3))

=-1,38,600

Labor spending variance for the month of March is $138600

2.Calculation of variable manufacturing overhead planning cost

Variable manufacturing overhead planning cost= (Planning budget units x required hours x cost per hour)

=(21000 x 3 x7)

=441,000

Variable manufacturing overhead planning cost is $441,000

3. Calculation of Variable manufacturing overhead cost

Variable manufacturing overhead  cost= (Actual units x required hours x cost per hour)

=(26600 x 3 x7)

=$558,600

Variable manufacturing overhead  cost is $558,600

4. Calculation of Variable overhead rate variance

Variable overhead rate variance= Actual hours ( actual rate - standard rate)

=63000((510930/63000)-8)

=63000(8.11-8)

=63000(0.11)

=6930

Variable overhead rate variance is =6930

Neko [114]

Answer:

Since Mrs. O'Malley disenrolled form the plan because she was moving away to a location that was not served by the company, Agent Higgins compensation should not be affected.

If Mrs. O'Malley (or any other client) leaves the plan before the 3 month period because she decides to go back to her former provider since she doesn't like this plan (for whatever personal reason), then the company would be able to recoup Agent Higgins's compensation.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

C. Step variable cost

Explanation:

Fixed costs are those costs which are incurred anyways irrespective of the level of operation of a business or the volume of activity. For example rent of factory is a fixed cost which has to be incurred regardless of the production level.

Variable costs are those costs which vary with the level of production. e.g labor cost.

In this case, a T- shirt is given to every 100th customer.  This kind of cost is step cost at the level of 100th customer. The number of T-shirts in a day would depend upon the no of patrons arriving each day i.e variable.

Thus, this is the case of a step variable cost which is incurred at discrete point i.e every 100th customer.
