Steven watched the island get bigger as they approached. Now he could see buildings and roads. He saw that they were approaching

a small island beside it that had an airport. He twisted in his seat, anxious for the plane to land and his family's vacation to begin in the Galapagos Islands.
Steven's parents were both scientists who were researching the endangered pink fairy armadillo, a species found in Argentina. Steven, his brother, Nick, and his parents had just spent a month living in a tent on the outskirts of the rain forest in Argentina. Because the family traveled so much, Steven and his brother attended school online. Doing homework in the humid rain forest with bugs bigger than hamburger buns flying around and an internet connection that kept cutting out was not Steven or Nick's idea of a good time. They pressed on since they knew how important it was to stay in school, especially if they wanted to be scientists just like their parents. As a reward for putting up with the uncomfortable stay in the rain forest, their parents had planned a family vacation to the Galapagos Islands once their research was complete. The boys were so excited for this new adventure since they had never been to this area of the world before.

How does the narrator of the story help the reader learn how Steven feels about the trip?

a By using a vivid description to show Steven's excitement as they approach the island.
b By telling the reader that Steven wants to be a scientist like his parents.
c By telling the reader that Steven is not looking forward to their vacation.
d By telling the reader that Steven worked hard to plan this vacation for his family.

When does a substance releases heat?? (it's about changing state of matter)
Andrej [43]
Heat is released when a substance changes from a gas to a liquid, or from a liquid to a solid.

When a liquid changes to a solid, we refer to that as the process of 'freezing'.

On October 1, 2022, Sheridan Company places a new asset into service. The cost of the asset is $81000 with an estimated 5-year l
Ahat [919]

Answer:

the depreciation expense for 2022 is $3,000

Explanation:

Straight line method of depreciation charges a fixed amount of depreciation over the period of use of an asset.

Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Residual Value) / Number of useful life

                                      =  ($81000 - $21000) / 5

                                      =  $12,000

The Annual depreciation charge for this machine will be $12,000 for each of the years that it is used in the business.

However since it was paced in use during the year that is 1 October, we have to apportion the Annual charge withe number of months that its has been in use during 2022.

It has been used for 3 months thus depreciation charge is :

Depreciation = 3/ 12 × $12,000

                      = $3,000

a. Sales price variance             $104,000            ($110,000)      ($6,000) U

b. Activity variance                   $160,000           $420,000     $580,000 F

c. Mix variance                           $85,000           $180,000     $265,000 F

d. Quantity variance                $189,000             $70,000     $259,000 F

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                      Partner                 Staff

Budgeted billable rate per hour   $800                    $210    

Budgeted variable cost per hour    375                      120

Budgeted billable hours              5,000                20,000

Budgeted revenue             $4,000,000        $4,200,000

Budgeted variable cost         1,875,000          2,400,000

Actual revenue                  $4,264,000         $4,510,000

Actual billable hours                   5,200                22,000

Actual billable rate per hour       $820                   $205

Budgeted billable rate per hour $800                    $210

Variance in price                           $20                       ($5)

Sales price variance            $104,000            ($110,000)      ($6,000)

Sales price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) * Actual billable hours

= ($800 - $820) * 5,200 + ($210 - $205) * 22,000

= $20 * 5,200 + ($5) * 22,000

= $104,000 - 110,000

= $6,000 U

Activity variance = (Actual billable hours - Standard billable hours) * Standard rate

= (5,200 - 5,000) * $800 + (22,000 - 20,000) * $210

= (200 * $800) + (2,000 * 210)

= $160,000 + 420,000

= $580,000 F

                                                  Partner                 Staff        Total

Budgeted revenue             $4,000,000        $4,200,000   $8,200,000

Budgeted variable cost         1,875,000          2,400,000      4,275,000

Budgeted contribution       $2,125,000         $1,800,000   $3,925,000

Actual revenue                  $4,264,000         $4,510,000   $8,774,000

Actual variable cost              1,950,000          2,640,000    4,590,000

Actual contribution             $2,314,000         $1,870,000   $4,184,000

Quantity variance                 $189,000              $70,000     $259,000

Quantity variance = Budgeted contribution - Actual contribution

= $3,925,000 - $4,184,000

= $259,000 F

Mix Variance:

Standard contribution margin  $425                  $90

Volume variance                         200                2,000

Mix variance =                     $85,000           $180,000

When the activity level changes, ______. Multiple select question. total variable cost changes variable cost per unit changes to
miskamm [114]

When there is a change in activity level, then:

  • Total variable cost changes.
  • Variable per unit remains constant.

<h3>What happens when activity level changes?</h3>

As a result of the change in activity level, the variable cost will change in total because it increases when there is an increase in number of units produced.

The unit variable cost will however remain the same as the company incurs the same variable cost per unit produced.
