Answer:   Higgins should report this litigation as a contingent liability.

Explanation: A liability that is contingent upon an event, that is, dependent on a future event that may or may not happen is called contingent liability. Potential law suits, pending investigations are some of the examples of contingent liability.

A contingent liability will only be recorded if there is likely probability that the event on which such liability depends will occur and the amount of liability could be reasonably estimated.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

$28,600

Explanation:

Both sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.

The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income.

As such, the net operating income/loss is the difference between the sales and the total costs.

The company's net operating income (loss)

= $42,300 + $94,700 -  $108,400

= $28,600

LO 8.5When might an unfavorable variance be a good outcome?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: An unfavorable variance can be used to detect a drop in estimated income early, and then solutions to the challenge can be identified.

Explanation:

An unfavorable variance is the difference between a company's projected expectation and the actual outcome of a financial activity of the company, where the actual outcome is less favorable than the projected expectation.

The information from an unfavorable variance can help alert a company to a negative outcome early, and the company's leadership can then find ways of solving the cause of the negative outcome.

A company developed the following per-unit standards for its product: 2 pounds of direct materials at $4 per pound. Last month,
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Direct Material Price Variance = $300 Favorable

Explanation:

Direct Material Price Variance = (Standard Price - Actual Price) \times Actual Quantity

Standard Price = $4 per pound

Actual Price = \frac{Actual\ Cost}{Actual\ Units} = \frac{5,700}{1,500} = 3.8

Since the actual price is less than the standard price the variance will be favorable as the amount paid for actual use is less then the estimated standard cost.

Thus, direct material price variance = ($4 - $3.8) \times 1,500

= $300 Favorable
