Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the amount deducted as if there is no reimbursement is

= Airfare charges + lodging for 5 days + meals for 5 days at 50% limit + full airport transportation

= $1,500 + $1,920 × 5 days ÷ 8 days + $1,440 × 5 days ÷ 8 days × 50% + $120

= $1,500 + $1,200 + $450 + $120

= $3,270

The unreimbursement travel expenses for an employee is 2% of adjusted gross income

b. The tax treatment in case of the independent contractor

= Airfare charges + lodging for 5 days + meals for 5 days at 50% limit + full airport transportation

= $1,500 + $1,920 × 5 days ÷ 8 days + $1,440 × 5 days ÷ 8 days × 50% + $120

= $1,500 + $1,200 + $450 + $120

= $3,270

It would remain the same in case of the independent contractor also.

Erie Company manufactures a mobile fitness device called the Jogging Mate. The company uses standards to control its costs. The
Tom [10]

a. Standard labor-hours is 7920 hours.

b. Standard labor cost allowed is $42,768.

c. The labor spending variance is $1588(U).

d.  The labor rate variance is $1706 and the labor efficiency variance $3294(U).

e.  The variable overhead rate is $5971(U) and efficiency variances for the month $5580(U).

<u>Explanation:</u>

a)Standars hours(SH) allowed to make 19800 jogging mates

=SH per unit \times 19800

=(24/60)*19800

=7920 hours

24/60 has been taken to convert minutes into hours.  

b)Standard Labor Cost (SC) of 19800 jogging mates

=19800 \times SC per unit=19800 \times $2.16\\=$42,768

=$42,768

c)Labour Spending Variance

=Standard Cost - Actual Cost(AC)=$42,768 - $44,356=$1588(U)

=$1588(U)

d)Labor Rate Variance  

=(SR per hour-AR per hour)\timesAH=(5.4-5.2)*8530=$1706(F)

=$1706

Actual Hours(AH) * Actual Rate per hour(AR)= Actual Cost(AC)

8530 \times AR = $44,356

AR = \frac{44356}{8530}\\ \\AR = 5.2

Labor Efficiency Variance

=(SH-AH) \times SR\\=(7920-8530)*$5.4=$3294(U)

=$3294(U)

e) Variable overhead rate variance = Actual hours worked  (Standard overhead rate - Actual overhead rate)

= 8530  (4.5 - 5.20)

= $5971(U)

Actual overhead rate = $44,356 / 8530 = 5.20

Variable overhead efficiency variance = Standard overhead rate   (Standard hours - Actual hours)

= 4.50  (7290 - 8530)

= $5580(U).
