Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one uni

Bond [772]

Answer:

1. Material Variances

Material Price Variance = $3,000 F

Material Quantity Variance = $4,000 U

2. Labor Variances

Labor Rate Variance = $1,425 U

Labor Efficiency Variance = $900 F

Explanation:

Provided information we have,

Direct Materials

Standard Quantity = 4.6 pounds

Standard Rate = $2.50 per pound

Direct Labor

Standard Hours = 0.2 hour per unit

Standard Rate = $18 per hour

Actual Materials

Actual Quantity = 20,000 pounds

Actual Rate = $2.35 per pound

Actual Labor

Labor Hours = 750 hours

Labor Cost = $14,925

Labor rate = $\frac{14,925}{750} = $19.9 per hour$

Actual Units produced = 4,000

1. Material Variances

$Material\ Price\ Variance = (Standard\ Price - Actual\ Price) \times Actual\ Units$

= ($2.50 - $2.35) $\times$ 20,000 pounds

= $3,000

As the actual rate is less than standard rate the variance is favorable.

$Material\:Quantity\ Variance = (Standard\ Quantity - Actual\ Quantity) \times Standard\ Rate$

Standard Quantity = 4,000 $\times$ 4.6 = 18,400 pounds

Material Quantity Variance = (18,400 - 20,000) $\times$ $2.50

= - $4,000

As the actual raw material quantity used is higher than standard raw material quantity the variance is unfavorable.

2. Labor Variances

$Labor\ Rate\ Variance = (Standard\ Rate - Actual\ Rate) \times Actual\ Hours$

= ($18 - $19.9) $\times$ 750 = - $1,425

As actual rate is higher than standard rate thus the variance is unfavorable.

$Labor\ Efficiency\ Variance = (Standard\ Hours - Actual\ Hours) \times Standard\ Rate$

Standard Hours = 4,000 $\times$ 0.2 = 800

Labor Efficiency Variance = (800 - 750) $\times$ $18

= $900

As the Standard Hours is more than Actual Hours the variance is favorable.

1. Material Variances

Material Price Variance = $3,000 F

Material Quantity Variance = $4,000 U

2. Labor Variances

Labor Rate Variance = $1,425 U

Labor Efficiency Variance = $900 F

Which of the following statements about the income statement is false? a. The single-step format groups all income items togethe

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The statement which is false is D) .

Income statement are prepared through two methods either single step format ( which is used by sole proprietor and partnership firms ) or multi step format ( used by corporations ) .

In the single step format , all the income items are group together and are subtracted from the total cost, while in multi step format , a company breaks all the sources from where the revenues and cost have come, it is used to take out various measures like gross profit, operating profit etc.

A common size statement is one of the type of income statement where each account item is represented as a percentage of total sales value.

Option D is false because discounted operations and extraordinary transactions appear on both the single step and multi step format , these transactions are written as written as footnote below the statement.

Why do you think it is important to consider both salary and benefits when applying for a job?

alexira [117]

Answer: It is important because an employee needs to have other rights beyond a salary.

Explanation: Although it is true that a person who applies for a job in return receives a salary, many times the work to do for the development and well-being of the company is greater than what he receives. Many people work tirelessly so that the place where they are working can continue to function properly. In many cases, the salary you receive is a salary that may be little and that does not compensate for many things. The benefits give the employee the opportunity to enjoy certain things and thus lighten the burden of him since not everything has to come from salary.
