. The following information is available for the year just ended:
Standard variable-overhead rate per hour: $7.50
Standard fixed-overhead rate per hour: $12.40
Planned activity during the period: 19,000 machine hours
Actual production: 12,200 finished units
Machine-hour standard: Two completed units per machine hour
Actual variable overhead: $153,180
Actual total overhead: $432,900
Actual machine hours worked: 22,200
Required:

Answer:

1. $235,600

2. $13,320 favorable

3. $159,960 Unfavorable

4-a. Maxwell spent more than anticipated for fixed overhead

b. $44,120

Explanation:

The computation of given question is shown below:-

1. Budgeted fixed overhead = Planned activity × Standard fixed overhead rate per hour

= 19,000 x $12.40

= $235,600

2. Variable Overhead Spending Variance = (Actual machine hours × Standard variable rate per hour) - Actual Variable Overhead

= 22,200 × $7.50 - $153,180

= $13,320 favorable

3. Fixed Overhead Volume Variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual production × Standard hours for actual output × Standard fixed overhead rate per hour

= $235,600 - 6,100 × $12.40

= $159,960 Unfavorable

Note: Two completed units per machine hour

So, Standard hours for actual output = 12,200 ÷ 2

= 6,100

4-a. Maxwell spent more than anticipated for fixed overhead

b. Difference = Actual total overhead - Actual variable overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead

($432,900 - $153,180) - $235,600

= $44,120

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

illusion of control.

Explanation:

The illusion of control is the tendency for people to overestimate their ability to control events; for example, it occurs when someone feels a sense of control over outcomes that they demonstrably do not influence.

In the scenario, although Business has been consistently slow on Fridays in recent months, yet DeMarcus decides to continue with the extra staffing.

This is obviously a case of illusion because he has no control over the external business environment and there is no logical reason to continue with extra staffing.

Having in mind the pandemic, should a company reduce its leverage in order to add value to its shareholders? and why?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

No, taking into account the pandemic, companies should not reduce their leverage, as this would make it very difficult for small and medium investors to invest in a context of lack of income and shortage of available circulating money.

Therefore, leverage implies the possibility for investors to access the necessary funds to be able to invest their money, without the need to dispose of their savings or the money they use for essential activities.
