Answer:

Accountants do not adjust the value of inventory upwards.  The general guidelines in recording inventory value are to recognize the ending inventory value at the lower of cost or market value and to ensure that transactions are recorded in accordance with the conservatism principle of generally accepted accounting principles.

Explanation:

The conservatism principle requires that all probable losses are recognized as soon as they can be reasonably estimated, while gains should be recognized only when they are fully realized.  The lower of cost or market value (LCM) method states that inventory should be recorded at the lower of either the historical cost or the market value.  The LCM is in line with the conservatism principle.

Where a producer chooses the intensity level of its market coverage, which level is chosen to utilize the “shotgun” approach?
dsp73

Answer:

The level that utilizes the "shotgun" approach to market coverage is:

Intensive Distribution (mass coverage).

Explanation:

This marketing approach aims to reach many consumers through as many sales channels as possible.  In this situation, consumers have easy access to the goods or services.  The other approaches include Selective Distribution (where few outlets in specific locations are selected for the distribution of the goods and services) and Exclusive Distribution (where limited outlets are chosen because of the target market).

scoray [572]

Answer:

Standard Hours     Standard Rate per Hour      Standard Cost

24 minutes (0.4 hrs.)            $5.40                                  $2.16

During August, 8,390 hours of direct labor time were needed to make 19,600 units of the Jogging Mate. The direct labor cost totaled $43,628 for the month.

1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to makes 19,600 Jogging Mates?

  • 19,600 jogging mates x 0.4 hours = 7,840 hours

2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH × SR) to make 19,600 Jogging Mates?

  • 7,840 hours x $5.40 = $42,336

3. What is the labor spending variance?

  • labor spending variance = standard cost - actual cost = $42,336 - $43,628 = $1,292 unfavorable

4. What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance?

  • labor rate variance = (standard rate - actual rate) x actual hours = ([$5.40 - ($43,628/8,390 hours)] x 8,390 hours = ($5.40 - $5.20) x 8,390 hours = $0.20 x 8,390 = $1,678 favorable
  • labor efficiency variance = (standard hours - actual hours) x actual rate = (7,840 hours - 8,390 hours) x $5.20 = -550 hours x $5.20 = -$2,860 unfavorable
