Answer:

Starfish Enterprises

The reason that is not the cause of the difference in material usage is:

The cost of materials increased from the time of the estimate.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Units of materials used for the job = 300 feet

Standard units of materials for similar job = 260 feet

Unit variance = 40 Unfavorable (300 - 260)

b) Material usage variance does not concern with the cost of materials.  Since it is stated that the materials price per unit remained the same in both instances, the cost of materials increasing is certainly not a factor for the material usage variance.  The variance is caused by the other factors.

Which of the following is a correct statement? Multiple Choice Writing off an uncollectible account under the allowance method d
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Estimating un-collectible accounts expense improves the matching of revenues and expenses.

Explanation:

When uncollectibles are recorded through allowance method then, bad debts expense is provided, which reduces net income. But at the time of writing off only the allowance and accounts receivables account is affected and not the net income.

When direct method is used then also the net income gets reduced, as bad debt expense and accounts receivables is affected.

And as provided in first para, when estimating and creating the allowance for bad debts, it affects net income, and it also represents the true and fair view of expenses and income.

Thus, statement c is correct.
