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

How,in practice,is cost-benefit analysis of public goods,such as city-funded fireworks displays,usually carried out?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

C) through public elections of local officials

Explanation:

The Cost–benefit analysis is also sometimes known as the benefit–cost analysis. It is the systematic approach in estimating the weaknesses and the strengths of the alternatives that is used to determine the options which provides the best method or approach to achieve the benefits while preserving a savings.

It is used to maximize the social welfare. It is for the optimal quantity of any public good. The cost benefit analysis of the public goods like the firework displays should be carried out by a public election of the local officials.

Which of the following is NOT a requirement for successful price discrimination? Sellers must be able to separate the market int
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

Price discrimination is said to be existing if the same seller is selling same goods and services at different prices.

For price discrimination the seller must be able to differentiate market on the basis of price elasticity of demand. Higher price is charged where demand is less elastic.

The seller must have some degree of monopoly power.

The seller must prevent reselling of goods between the two market segments.

The different price elasticity for sellers and buyers is not a necessary condition.

The price of a certain combo meal at different franchises of a national fast food company varies from​ $5.00 to ​$17.33 and has
zepelin [54]

Answer:

z=\frac{5.50-6.25}{\frac{2.18}{\sqrt{27}}}=-1.788    

p_v =P(Z  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true mean is significantly lower than 6.25 at 1% of signficance.  

Explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=5.60 represent the sample mean

\sigma=2.18 represent the sample population deviation

n=27 sample size  

\mu_o =6.25 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is less than 6.25, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 6.25  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 6.25  

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 but we know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{5.50-6.25}{\frac{2.18}{\sqrt{27}}}=-1.788    

P-value

Since is a one side test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(Z  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true mean is significantly lower than 6.25 at 1% of signficance.
