Answer:
$9,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the total fixed overhead variance is shown below:
= Actual fixed overhead costs - Budgeted fixed overhead
where,
Budgeted fixed overhead is $360,000
And, the Actual fixed overhead cost is computed below:
= Actual fixed overhead × Actual production ÷ budgeted production
= $360,000 × 11,700 units ÷ 12,000 units
= $351,000
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= $351,000 - $360,000
= $9,000 unfavorable
Answer:
8,955 units
Explanation:
Given that,
Sales in July = 9,500
Sales in August = 10,200
Sales in September = 6,050
Ending finished goods inventory = 30% of the next month's sale
Budgeted production units for August:
= Sales + Closing inventory - Opening inventory
= Sales + (30% of September sales) - (30% of August sales)
= 10,200 + (0.3 × 6,050) - (0.3 × 10,200)
= 10,200 + 1,815 - $3,060
= 8,955 units
Answer: 88.89 or 89
Explanation: Futures contract refers to a legal binding which obligates a buyer and seller to transact about a commodity, good, security or services at a predetermined price but goods are delivered or paid for in the future.
Given the following ;
Portfolio value(p) = $20million
Portfolio Beta (b) = 1.2
Index price (i) = 1080
Multiplier = 250
Future value(A) = index price × multiplier
Future value(A) = 1080 × 250 = 270000
Number of contracts (N) = (portfolio value × portfolio Beta) ÷ future value
N = ($20,000,000×1.2)÷270000
N = 24000000 ÷×270000
N = 88.8888=88.89
N = 89 (NEAREST whole number)
