Answer:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $558 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable overhead 0.60 hours $ 3.10 per hour
Actual output 4,100 units
Actual direct labor-hours 2,280 hours
<u>To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (0.6*4,100 - 2,280)*3.10
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $558 favorable
Answer:
a lot of money was spent this year
Answer:
The balance in the accumulated depreciation account at the end of the second year is $146,000.
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a <u>fixed depreciation charge</u> on the asset during its period of use.
Depreciation Expense (Straight line) = Cost - Residual Amount ÷ Estimated Useful life
= $778,000 - $48,000 ÷ 10
= $73,000
Therefore, for each year, a depreciation expense of $73,000 is charged to profit an loss.
Accumulated Depreciation Calculation :
Depreciation Expense : Year 1 $73,000
Depreciation Expense : Year 2 $73,000
Total Expense $146,000
Answer: $9909
Explanation:
Let the amount that will be paid be represented by y. The question can now be solved as:
(10000 - y)/10000 × 360/182 = 0.018
(10000-y)/10000 = 0.018 × 182/360
(10000 - y)/10000 = 0.0091
10000-y = 0.0091 × 10000
10000 - y = 91
y = 10000 - 91
y = $9909
Answer:
It's best to invest in the second economy
Explanation:
The question does not provide information on the hypothetical economic expectations of the two economies, but as a risk-averse investor, it's a better idea to try to "spread" the risk instead of concentrating it.
In the first economy, conditions might or might not be good. If they are good, returns will be extraordinary because all stocks will provide good returns, but if conditions take a turn for the worse, all stocks prices will fall and the financial consequences will be catastrophic.
In the second economy, results might never be as good as in the first economy, but they also will not ever be as bad. The risk is spread between various stocks, and while some may fall in price, others will rise, and viceversa. For a risk-adverse investor, this a far better option.
