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 time variance                      625

                  Direct labor rate variance                                                 650

                  Wage payable                                                               15,600

Citrus2011 [14]

Question Completion:

Revenues earned and received in cash were $9,000.

Dividends of $4,000 were paid to stockholders.

Expenses incurred and paid were $5,600.

Answer:

Jiminez, Inc.

Income Statement for the month ended March 31:

Revenue                                          $9,000

Expenses                                           5,600

Net income                                      $3,400

Dividends                                          4,000

Retained earnings during the year ($600)

Explanation:

Jiminez, Inc. paid more dividends to stockholders this month than it actually generated in net income.  The excess amount of dividends must be from retained earnings carried forward from the previous month.  In preparing the income statement for the month of March, Jiminez, Inc. must deduct all the expenses from its revenue to obtain the net income before tax.  The bank loan does not form part of the items for the preparation of the income statement, as only temporary accounts are considered.

Van Den Borsh Corp. has annual sales of $68,735,000, an average inventory level of $15,012,000, and average accounts receivable
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The Cash Conversion Cycle is the number of days it takes management of a company to convert its inventory into cash on hand after its business transactions.  It is a useful metric for measuring the effectiveness of management, especially for companies with inventory of goods for sale.

CCC combines the days of inventory outstanding, accounts receivable outstanding, less accounts payable outstanding to obtain a value based on days.

Therefore, the net change in the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) in this scenario is the difference between the previous CCC and the new one based on the new proposals.

a) Days Inventory Outstanding or DIO = Average Inventory divided by Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)per day.  Cost of Goods Sold is 85% of sales.

DIO = $15,012,000 / $58,424,750 x 365 days = 94 days

b) Days Sales Outstand or DSO  = Average Accounts Receivable divided by Revenue per day.

DSO = $10,008,000 /$68,735,000 x 365 days = 53 days

c) Days Payable Outstanding or DPO = Average Accounts Payable divided by COGS

DPO = 30 days, as given in the question

d) CCC = DIO + DSO - DPO

CCC = 94 + 53 - 30 = 117 days

Based on the new proposals, the CCC is calculated as follows:

a) DIO = $15,012,000 - $1,946,000 / $58,424,750 x 365 days = 82 days

b) DSO = $10,008,000 - $1,946,000 /$68,735,000 x 365 days = 43 days

c) DPO = 40 days as given.

New CCC = 82+43-40 = 85 days.

Therefore, the net change in the cash conversion cycle is 117 - 85 days, i.e. = 32 days.

Explanation:

The CCC has decreased by 32 days in the new scenario.  This is an improvement worth pursuing by management.

CCC as a measure of management effectiveness is best obtained for many years in order to compare internally.

Another way it serves as a good measure is to compare the company's CCC with its competitors'.

The fixed cost of conducting the four promotions is estimated to be 18000 dollars with a variable cost of 3.75 dollars per custo
mote1985 [20]

Answer:please refer to the explanation section

Explanation:

The Question is incomplete. the question requires us to calculate minimum number of customers required to cover costs of promotions, to calculate the minimum number of customers required we need a price per customer. let us assume the price $6

Variable costs  = $3.75

Fixed costs = $18000

Minimum Customers Required = Fixed costs/(Price - Variable cost)

Minimum Customers Required = 18000/6 - 3.75 = 8000

8000 customers are required
