Answer:

A. The company paid a higher cost for the direct materials than allowed by the standards.

Explanation:

The following is a logical explanation for this variance:

Since, the standard quantity of raw materials to be used is 22 pounds x 500 units = 11000 pounds. The actual usage is 9500 pounds ony. Hence, variance in direct material price variance can be only due to higher cost of direct material purchased.

The computation is shown below:

Sales value after processing the product (26,000 × $14)   $364,000

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

0.0042 is the probability of the stick's weight being 2.33 oz or greater.  

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 1.75 oz

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.22 oz

We are given that the distribution of drumsticks is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(stick's weight being 2.33 oz or greater)

P(x > 2.33)

P( x > 2.33) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{2.33 - 1.75}{0.22}) = P(z > 2.6363)

= 1 - P(z \leq 2.6363)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 2.33) = 1 - 0.9958 =0.0042= 0.42\%

0.0042 is the probability of the stick's weight being 2.33 oz or greater.

Ben Gordon, Inc. manufactures 2 products, wheels and seats. The company has estimated its overhead in the assembling department
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

$90,000

Explanation:

We could allocate assembly overhead on the basis of the parts used in the assembly process:

wheels ⇒ 300,000 x 2 parts = 600,000 parts

<u>seats ⇒ 600,000 x 3 parts = 1,800,000 parts</u>

total parts assembled     2,400,000 parts

overhead costs per part assembled = $360,000 / 2,400,000 parts = $0.15 per part

so the overhead allocated to wheels should be = 600,000 parts x $0.15 per part = $90,000
