The Assembly Department produced 1,000 units of product during March. Each unit required 1.25 standard direct labor hours. There

were 1,300 actual hours used in the Assembly Department during March at an actual rate of $12 per hour. The standard direct labor rate is $12.5 per hour.

Answer:

Debit Work in process for $15,625

Debit Direct labor time variance for $625

Credit Direct labor rate variance for $650

Credit Wage payable for $15,600

Explanation:

Before preparing the journal, the following calculations are done first:

Wage payable = Actual hours * Actual rate per hour = 1,300 * $12 = $15,600

Direct labor time variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard direct labor rate = (1,300 - (1,000 * 1.25)) * $12.50 = $625 Unfavorable

Note: Direct labor time variance is Unfavorable because Actual hours is greater than Standard hours.

Direct labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours = ($12 - $12.50) * 1,300 = -$650 Favorable

Note: Direct labor rate variance if Favorable because Actual rate is lower than the Standard rate.

Work in process = Wage payable + Absolute value of direct labor rate variance - Direct labor time variance = $15,600 + $650 - $625 = $15,625

The journal entries will now look as follows:

<u>Date           Particulars                                         Debit ($)           Credit ($)   </u>

Mar. 31       Work in process                                  15,625

                  Direct labor rate variance                                                 650

What is the expected value when a $1 lottery ticket is bought in which the purchaser wins exactly $10 million if the ticket cont
Nadusha1986 [10]

We expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket

<u>Explanation:</u>

six winning numbers from = { 1, 2, 3, ....., 50}

So, the probability of winning:

P(win) = \frac{ no of favorable outcomes}{no of possible outcomes}

P(win) = \frac{1}{^5^0C_6} \\\\P (win) = \frac{6! X (50 - 6)!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{6! X 44!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{1}{15,890,700}

The probability of losing would be:

P(loss) = 1 - P(win)

P(loss) = 1 - \frac{1}{15,890,700} \\\\P(loss) = \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700}

According to the question,

When we win, then we gain $10 million and lose the cost of the lottery ticket.

So,

$10,000,000 - 1 = $9,999,999

When we lose, then we lose the cost of the lottery ticket = $1

The expected value is the sum of the product of each possibility x with its probability P(x):

E(x) = ∑ xP(x)

= 9,999,999 X \frac{1}{15,890,700}  + ( -1 ) X \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700} \\\\=- \frac{5,890,700}{15,890,700} \\\\= - \frac{58,907}{158,907} \\\\= - 0.37

Thus, we expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket

Amounts withheld from each employee for social security and medicare vary by state.
satela [25.4K]

It is False.

No matter which states the employee lives, the amounts withheld from each employee for social security and medicare do not vary by state. The present tax rate for social security for employers and employees is 6.2% and the present current rate of medicare is 1.45% for both the employer and employee.

Employers are typically required to withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes from an employee's paycheck and pay the employer's share of those taxes.

The Social Security Tax and the Medicare Tax have different rates, and only the Social Security tax has a salary cap. The base salary ceiling is the maximum taxable salary in the year. Determine the withholding amount for Social Security and Medicare contributions by multiplying each payment by the employee's tax rate.

A company is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $117,200. Predicted annual cash inflows from this investme
monitta

Answer:

3.79 years

Explanation:

In the payback, we analyze in how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:

In year 0 = $117,200

In year 1 = $53,000

In year 2 = $21,500

In year 3 = $26,500

In year 4 = $20,500

In year 5 = $23,000

If we sum the first 3 year cash inflows than it would be $101,000

Now we deduct the $101,000 from the $117,200 , so the amount would be $16,200 as if we added the fourth year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it

And, the next year cash inflow is $20,500

So, the payback period equal to

= 3 years + $16,200 ÷ $20,500

= 3.79 years

In 3.79 years, the invested amount is recovered.

Suppose that the price of flour used to produce bagels increases. Hence the equilibrium price of a bagel​ ________ and the equil
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Increase , increase

Explanation:

A decrease in the supply of a product increases in its price. Reduced supply means many buyers competing for the few available products.  The prices of goods or services are determined by the intersection of the demand and supply curves. There is an indirect relationship between supply and price of quantity supplied when demand is constant. A reduced supply results in high prices while an increase in supply causes low prices.

As prices increase, suppliers will want to supply more to make profits. Constant demand and a high price will thus lead to an increase in equilibrium quantity.
