Answer:
a. $32,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the direct labor efficiency variance for October is shown below:-
Direct labor efficiency variance = (Standard hours for actual production - Actual hrs) × Standard rate per hour
= (5,700 × 2 - $234,000 ÷ $18.00) × $20
= (11,400 - $13,000) × $20
= $1,600 × $20
= $32,000 unfavorable
Therefore for computing the direct labor efficiency variance for October we simply applied the above formula.
Answer: Not change the quantity demanded.
Explanation: In a market demand is said to be perfectly inelastic, if the demand for commodities is not affected by price changes.
Therefore since the demand for natural gas in perfectly inelastic, the demand will not change regardless of the change in price of the gas.
Answer:
The assembly line efficiency is 4.17% (to 2 decimal places)
Explanation:
Efficiency is a measure of productivity that is used to determine how well a target is achieved, by finding the ratio of the actual output to the expected output. In this example, the number of units is the output of the assembly line, and the assembly line efficiency is calculated as follows:
Assembly line efficiency = (actual output) /(required output) × 100
actual output = 25 minutes
if 5 minutes = 1 unit
∴ 25 minutes = 1/5 × 25 = 5 units
∴ actual output = 5 units
required output = 120 units
∴ efficiency = 
= 4.17%
Answer: $220,000
Explanation:
Using the Accrual Method of Accounting means that revenue is only to be recorded when it is earned i.e. when services have been delivered.
Any revenue received when the services have not been delivered will be recorded as Unearned Revenue.
With $528,000 in subscription revenue, the monthly subscription is;
= 528,000/12
= $44,000
From June to December would be 7 months so they would have earned;
= 44,000 * 7
= $308,000
The amount that they have not earned but have received would therefore be;
= 528,000 - 308,000
= $220,000
<em>This amount will be recorded after they finish deliveries of magazines in next year May. </em>
