stellarik [79]

Answer:

We'll take this one after the other.

A. First Physical Asset Valuation (PAV) refers to the act of writing up or writing down the carrying value of an organisations assets in its balance sheet.

In simple terms, it refers to increasing upwards or downwards the value of an organisations asset in its balance sheet.

When assets are written down, the following are likely to occur:

Critical changes to an organization’s business model or strategy, such as termination of the business and loss of a regulatory licence;

A significant reduction in the cash flow or bottom line of the business;

when the long term growth rates, interest rates or other financial factors such as prices or value of currencies, upon which a business valuation based decline, this impacts the valuation of an asset negatively.

B. Research and Development (R&D)

R&D refers to all the studies, scientific investigations and experiments carried out to enable the discovery and creation of a new or innovative product or service that is more efficient and effective.

The reason there is a risk associated with R&D is that there are usually many elements of uncertainty.

The ideas being tested are usually novel and have not been tried before.

Some of the risks associated with R&D are:

the possibility that the new product will fail in the market;

a new product or service that is does not work

the possibility of cost creep. That is a situation where the cost of the R&D outweighs the potential profit from the product or service.

Cheers!

CodeHead Software Inc. does software development. One important activity in software development is writing software code. The m

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Standard hours per week = 40 hours

Standard rate per hour = $32

Actual rate per hour = $40

Labour rate variance = 40 - 32 = $8 (unfavourable)

Actual cost per week = 40 × 40 = $1600

Standard cost per week = 40 × 32 = $1280

Labour cost variance = actual cost per week - standard cost per week

= 1600 - 1280

= $320 (unfavourable)

Actual codes written in first week = 5650

Standard codes per week = 5 × 25 × 40 = 5000

Actual cost per code = 1600/5660 = $0.2832

Standard cost per code = 1280/5000 = 0.256

Labour efficiency variance = 0.2832 - 0.256 = $0.0272 (unfavourable)

If the team generated 4,650 lines of code according to the original plan:

Code generated = 4650

Number of programmers = 5

Average codes per hour per programmer = 25

Total codes per hour = 25 × 5 = 125

Standard codes per week = 40 × 125 = 5000

Actual time to write 4650 codes = 4650/125 = 37.2 hours

Standard time = 40 hours

Idle time = 40 - 37.2 = 2.8 hours

Labour time variance = 2.8 hours

Cost of idle time = 2.8 × 32 = $89.6 (unfavourable)

Suver Corporation has a standard costing system. The following data are available for June: Actual quantity of direct materials

tatuchka [14]

Answer: $3.10

Explanation:

The actual price per pound of direct materials purchased in June will be calculated as follows:

Let the actual price be represented by x.

Material price variance is calculated as:

= (standard price-actual price) × actual quantity

-2000 = (3 × 20000) - 20000x

-2000 = 60000 - 20000x

20000x = 60000 + 2000

20000x = 62000

x = 62000/20000

x = 3.1

Therefore, the actual price per pound of direct material bought in June is $3.10

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Option B
