Narration. Payment of staff bonus due
Explanation:
In line with the acrual concept of recognising expenses at the period they are due for payment. The staff bonus will be recognized as an expense to the income statement in 2017 and accrued as liability in the balance sheet if it's not paid.
The payment in 2018 will be a debit to the liability account and credit to the cash or bank account.
Answer:
Standard fixed overhead rate
= Budgeted fixed overhead cost
Budgeted direct labour hours
= $45,000
15,000 hours
= $3 per direct labour hour
Fixed overhead volume variance
= (Standard hours - Budgeted hours) x Standard fixed overhead rate
= (12,000 hours - 15,000 hours) x $3
= $9,000(U)
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
In this case, we need to calculate standard fixed overhead rate, which is budgeted fixed overhead cost divided by budgeted direct labour hours. Then, we will calculate fixed overhead volume variance, which is the difference between standard hours and budgeted hours multiplied by standard fixed overhead rate.
