Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard direct labor hour per unit= 6.5 hours

Standard variable overhead= $6.8 per direct labor hour.

Actual production= 1,300 units

Actual direct labor hours= 8,500 hours

Actual variable overhead= $60,290

A) To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Actual rate= 60,290/8,500 hours= $7.093

Manufacturing overhead rate variance= (6.8 - 7.093)*8,500= $2,490.5 unfavorable

B) To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate

Standard quantity= 1,300*6.5= 8,450 hours

variable overhead efficiency variance= (8,450 - 8,500)*6.8= $340 unfavorable

larisa [96]

Answer:

Company Save  $37000 by Buying

Explanation:

given data

make component part = 100 units

Direct Materials = $122000

Direct Labor = 34000

Variable Overhead = 55000

Fixed Overhead = 30000

purchase the component = $200000

fixed costs = $4000

to find out

make or buy decision

solution

first we find here Total Cost for Making component part

total cost = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Variable Overhead + Fixed Overhead ..............1

put here value

total cost for make =  $122000 + 34000  + 55000 + 30000

total cost for make = $241000

and

now we find here Total Cost for buying component part

total cost = Purchase Price + fixed costs   ............2

put here value we get

total cost for buying = $200000 +  $4000

total cost for buying  = $204000

so

we can say Company Save =  $241000 -  $204000   = $37000 by Buying

Which of the statements below is​ FALSE?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

C. The standard of one vote for each share cannot be altered.

Explanation:

Shares are sold to individuals that now obtain ownership rights of a company.

Common share holders are entitled to voting in of new board members and also have the ability to vote for changes in bylaws of the company.

Also common shareholders are shares have different classes with different voting rights.

However it is not true that the standard of one vote for each share cannot be altered.

When more shares are issued by a company it can result in dilution of shares. That means for example if a person has 10,000 shares in a company with 1 million shares, and the company now issues an extra 1 million shares making 2 million in total now.

The shareholder's standard of vote for each share is now halved
