Boyce Manufacturing Co.'s operates 3 profit centers. The clothing center’s static budget at 6,000 units of production includes $

30,000 for direct labor, $6,000 for direct materials, $12,000 for variable factory overhead, and controllable fixed costs of $24,000. Actual activity was 5,800 units with actual costs of $29,500 for direct labor, $11,500 for variable factory overhead, controllable fixed costs of $24,200, and $6,100 for direct materials. All units produced were budgeted to be sold for $16 each. Actual sales totaled $93,960. What variance will appear on the performance report for controllable margin?

Answer:

D. 900 U

Explanation:

When variance will be calculated and shown on performance report it will be, for entire cost incurred.

For all costs directly related to production that is variable cost, standard will be adjusted based on actual quantity produced, whereas standard fixed cost will not be adjusted based on quantity of units produced as is fixed in nature.

1. Standard Direct labor for actual production = \frac{30,000}{6,000} \times 5,800 = 29,000

Actual expense of direct labor = $29,500

Variance = Standard - Actual = $29,000 - $29,500 = $500 U

2. Standard Direct Materials = \frac{6,000}{6,000} \times 5,800 = 5,800

Actual direct material cost = $6,100

Variance = Standard - Actual = $5,800 - $6,100 = $300 U

3. Standard Variable Factory Overhead = \frac{12,000}{6,000} \times 5,800 = 11,600

Actual variable factory overhead = $11,500

Variance = Standard - Actual = $11,600 - $11,500 = $100 F

4. Fixed Cost Variance = Standard - Actual = $24,000 - $24,200 =

$200 U

Total Variance in Performance Report

Every F has positive value and every U has negative Value

= - 500 - 300 + 100 - 200 = - 900

That is 900 U

Answer:

The correct option is B) 260 F

Explanation:

We can take out controllable margin by subtracting cost F from Sales F,

SALES F - COST F

Taking out SALES F -

Actual sales - Budget sales

where actual sales given - $93,960

budget sales - 5800 units X $16

                      = $92,800

SALES F = $93,960 - $92,800

               = $1160 F

Taking out COST F -

Actual cost - Budget cost

Here cost includes -        

Direct material =     ACTUAL - BUDGETED

Where actual is given - $6100

and budgeted can be taken out as - $6000 / 6000 x actual units

                       = $1 x 5800

                        = $5800

NOTE* here we have divided the given budgeted $6000 by given budgeted units of production which is 6000 units.

Direct material cost = $6100 - $5800

                                 = $300 U

Direct labor = ACTUAL - BUDGETED

Where actual is given - $29,500

and budgeted can be taken out as - $30,000/ 6000 x actual units

                                                         = $5 x 5800

                                                         = $29,000

Direct material cost = $29,500 - $29,000

                                 = 500 U

Variable factory overhead = ACTUAL - BUDGETED

Where actual is given - $11,500

and budgeted can be taken out as - $12,000/ 6000 x actual units

                                                   = $2 x 5800

                                                   = $11,600

Variable factory overhead cost = $11,500 - $11,600

                                                    = 100 F

Controllable fixed cost = ACTUAL - BUDGETED

Where actual is given - $24,200

and budgeted is given as $24,000

Controllable fixed cost = $24,200  - $24,000

                                       = 200 U

now adding together all of the four cost =

300 U + 500 U + 100 F + 200 U

= 900 U

CONTRIBUTION MARGIN = SALES - COST

                                            = 1160 F - 900 U

                                            = 260 F

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

$14,000 under applied

Explanation:

Given that

Material production = $203,000

Application rate = 150%

The computation of amount of overhead is shown below:-

Overhead = Material production × Application rate

= $203,000 - ($126,000 × 1.5)

= $203,000 - $189,000

= $14,000 under applied

Therefore, for computing the overhead we simply multiply the material production with application rate percentage.

You are the CEO of a company that has to choose between making a $100 million investment in Russia or Poland. Both investments p
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Going by the Ease of Doing Business ranking of 2020, prepared by the World Bank, which is perhaps the most reliable ranking to assess business risk in different countries.

Russia has a higher score in the ranking, which means that doing business is less risky there. Poland has particularly high risks in the starting a business category, which means that the mere act of starting the business in Poland might be a risky decision.

Russia has a high risk in trading accross borders, probably because the country is subject to several international sanctions.

If we go only by score, Russia has a higher score, so, as the CEO, you should probably invest there. However, you should avoid investing in Russian companies that try to export abroad, because of the high risks associated with trade in that country.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

a. linear regression.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario the best choice would be a linear regression model. That is because this type of approach deals with seeing to what extent there exists a relationship between two variables. Which in this case would be the quantitative data/prices and the square footage of the home.

Glascro Company manufactures skis. The management accountant wants to calculate the fixed and variable costs associated with the
Ber [7]

Answer:

$1,000

Explanation:

We know that

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

From the data given, we can calculate the variable cost using the high-low technique.

Variable cost per unit

=\frac{Total cost at highest level-Total cost at lowest level }{Highest level - Lowest level} \\\\=\frac{16,000-10,000}{1,000-600 } \\

=$15

Lease cost = FC + $15(Machine hours)

Lease cost -$15(Machine hours) = FC

Case,

i) 800 machine hours,

FC = Lease cost - $15(Machine hours)

     = $16,000 -$15(1000) = $1,000

explain the difference between a change in quantity demanded and a change in demand. Provide a real world example of a factor th
Zina [86]

Answer:

A change in quantity demanded is caused by a change in price only. That is, when price rises quantity demanded falls vise versa

A change in demand occurs when there is a shift in the demand caused by a change in other determinates of demand other than price such as change in income, change in taste and fashion, demographic changes etc.

Explanation:

Real word example of change in demand :

Changing Tastes or Preferences

From 1990 to 2020, the per-person consumption of chicken by Americans rose from 48 pounds per year to 85 pounds per year, and consumption of beef fell from 77 pounds per year to 54 pounds per year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Changes like these are largely due to movements in taste, which change the quantity of a good demanded at every price: that is, they shift the demand curve for that good, rightward for chicken and leftward for beef.

Simply put it this way> Change in quantity demanded : Price change, quantity demanded change

Change in Demand: Price doesn't change but quantity demanded changes as a result of change in other determinates of demand examples the change in preference
