Metal Shelf ​Company's standard cost for raw materials is $ 4.00 per pound and it is expected that each metal shelf uses two pou

nds of material. During October Year​ 2, 25 comma 000 pounds of materials are purchased from a new supplier for $ 97 comma 000 and 13 comma 000 shelves are produced using 27 comma 000 pounds of materials. Which statement is a possible explanation concerning the direct materials​ variances?

Answer:

Direct material price variance

= (Standard price - Actual price) x Actual quantity purchased

=($4 - $3.38) x 25,000 pounds

= $3,000( F)

Direct material price variance is $3,000 favorable

Actual price = $97,000/25,000 pounds = $3.88

Direct material usage variance

= (Standard quantity - Actual quantity used) x Standard price

= (26,000 - 27,000) x $4

= $4,000(U)

Direct material usage variance is $4,000 unfavorable.

Standard quantity = 2 pounds x 13,000 shelves = 26,000 pounds

Explanation:

Direct material price variance is the difference between standard price and actual price multiplied by actual quantity purchased. Actual price is calculated as actual material cost divided by actual quantity purchased.

Direct material usage variance is the difference between standard quantity and actual quantity used multiplied by standard price. Standard quantity is the product of standard quantity per unit and actual unit produced.

Answer:

There are 3 possible primary answers:

  • a. The production department had to use more materials since the quality of the material was inferior.
  • The expectation that each metal shelf uses 2 lbs of materials is rounded off figure whereas in actual each metal shelf uses 2.0769 lbs of material
  • There is a process loss of 0.0769 of material per metal shelf's manufacturing(3.7% process loss)

Explanation:

Given:

Expected Material required per metal shelf = 2 lbs

Cost of raw material = 4 $/lb

Material purchased in Oct-year 2= 25,000 lbs

Cost of purchased material in Oct-year 2 = 97,000 $

Cost of material per lbs purchased in Oct-year 2 = 97000/25000 = 3.88 $/lb

Total shelves produced = 13,000 Nos

Total material used = 27,000 lbs

Actual material used per metal shelf = 27000/13000 = 2.0769 lbs/Nos

Thus it is concluded that either the expected materials' amount of 2 lbs was rounded off or there happened a process loss 0.0769 lbs per metal shelf.

Why not these?

Cost of material per lbs purchased in Oct-year 2 = 97000/25000 = 3.88 $/lb

b. The purchasing manager paid more than expected for materials

As the purchased lot was cheaper (@ 3.88 $/lb) than regular rate of 4$/lb therefore the purchase manager didn't pay more than expected.

c. Production workers were more efficient than anticipated

Actual material used per metal shelf = 27000/13000 = 2.0769 lbs/Nos

As the more material was used than expected thus this statement can't be true.

d. The overall materials variance is positive, no further analysis is necessary

Actual material used per metal shelf = 27000/13000 = 2.0769 lbs/Nos

Considering we are using more materials than expected so the overall material variance should not be positive and we should plan further analysis.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The average rate of return on investment using:

 + Straight line method: 23.58%

 + Net present value: 17.85%

Explanation:

* The average rate of return on investment using straight line method:

We have Average rate of return = Average net profit/ Average investment

with average net profit = (90,000 + 80,000 + 40,000 + 30,000 + 240,000)/5 = $96,000

       average investment: (investment at the beginning + investment of the end) /2 = 814,400/2 = 407,200

=> Average rate of return = 96,000 / 407,200 = 23.58%

* The average rate of return on investment using net present value:

The average rate of return is the internal rate of return on the project which is the rate that brings the net present value to zero.

Denote the rate as x => (1+x)^(-t) is the discount rate of year t. Denote 1+x as a, we have:

-814,400 + 210,000/a + 200,000/a^2 + 160,000/a^3 + 150,000/a^4 + 720,000/a^5 = 0 <=> a = 1.1785

=> x = 17.85%

When the money market is drawn with the value of money on the vertical axis, the price level increases if Group of answer choice
oee [108]

Answer:

When the money market is drawn with the value of money on the vertical axis, the price level increases, money demand shifts right or money supply shifts left.

Explanation:

if the money market is drawn with the value of money on the vertical axis, while the price level increases there will be a decrement in the  value of money, and an increment in the quantity of money demanded.

An increment in the price level causes the money demand curve to shift to the right , while a decrement in the price level causes the money demand curve to shift to the left.

As the price level decreases, the value of money increases, so people want to hold less of it.

Therefore, when the money market is drawn with the value of money on the vertical axis, the price level increases, money demand shifts right or money supply shifts left.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: (e.) The same pay as either a professor or as a chief economist at the Humane Society.

Explanation:

The correct answer would be <u>option (e)</u> because in this case there lies an ambiguity i.e. we are uncertain about skillets that an economists should be endowed with or for being a faculty member.

Therefore , it can be concluded that he would  get at least as good pay as being faculty. In both cases he'll be better off.
