Answer:
Net Income is $485.4
Explanation:
According to the accounting equation
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
So putting value of assets = 3,525, and assuming equity = x, then:
3252 = Liabilities + x
Liabilities = 3252 - x
Now putting this value in the debt to equity formula,
Debt / Equity = 0.34
(3252 - x) / x = 0.34
3252 - x = 0.34x
1.34x = 3252
x = 3252 / 1.34 = $2427 This is the value of equity.
Now
Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity
and return on equity is $2427, so by putting values in the equation, we have:
0.20 = Net Income / 2427
Net Income = $485.4

Labor Efficiency Variance = 24840*14- 4*6630*14
= 24840*14- 26520*14
= 347760 - 371280= $23520 favorable
