Oakwood Inc. manufactures end tables, armchairs, and other wood furniture products from high-quality materials. The company uses

a standard costing system and isolates variances as soon as possible. The purchasing manager is responsible for controlling direct material price variances, and production managers are responsible for controlling usage variances. During November, the following results were reported for the production of American Oak armchairs:
Units produced 1,670 armchairs
Direct materials purchased 18,500 board feet
Direct materials issued into production 17,250 board feet
Standard cost per unit
(22 board feet × $7.2) $158.4 per unit produced
Purchase price variance $2,620 unfavorable
Required:
a. Calculate the actual price paid per board foot purchased.
b. Calculate the standard quantity of materials allowed (in board feet) for the number of units produced.
c. Calculate the direct materials usage variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

Answer:

Oakwood Inc.

a) The actual price paid per board foot purchased is:

= $7.34

b) The standard quantity of materials allowed (in board feet) for the number of units produced is:

= 36,740 board feet

c) The direct materials usage variance is:

= $140,328 F

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

i) Reported production of American Oak Armchairs:

Units produced = 1,670 armchairs

Direct materials purchased = 18,500 board feet

Direct materials issued into production = 17,250 board feet

ii) Standard cost per unit

(22 board feet × $7.2) $158.4 per unit produced

Purchase price variance $2,620

a) The actual price paid per board foot purchased

= Standard cost per board feet + (Purchase price variance/Quantity purchased)

= $7.20 + ($2,620/18,500)

= $7.20 + $0.14

= $7.34

b) The standard quantity of materials allowed (in board feet) for the number of units produced

= 22 * 1,670

= 36,740 board feet

c) The direct materials usage variance = (Standard Qty - Actual Qty) * Standard price per board feet

= (36,740 - 17,250) * $7.20

= $140,328 F

lesya [120]

Answer:

Total cost= $930

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Copy Center pays an average wage of $12 per hour.

Overhead rate= $18 per direct labor hour

Job M-47:

used $330 of direct materials and took 20 direct labor hours of labor to complete.

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

Total cost= 330 + 20*12 + 20*$18= $930

Suppose that the supply function for honey is p=​S(q)=0.4q+2.8​, where p is the price in dollars for an 8​-oz container and q is
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The demand function is p= (-2.1)*q + 15.3

Explanation:

The supply function for honey is p=​S(q)=0.4*q+2.8​, where p is the price in dollars for an 8​-oz container and q is the quantity in barrels. The equilibrium price is ​$4.80. So, the equilibrium quantity is:

4.80=0.4*q+2.8​

Solving:

4.80 - 2.8=0.4*q

2=0.4*q

2÷0.4= q

5=q

The demand​ function, assuming it is linear, is p=​m*q+b

The equilibrium quantity is 5 barrels and the equilibrium price is ​$4.80; and the demand is 4 barrels when the price is ​$6.90. So:

\left \{ {{4.80=m*5+b} \atop {6.90=m*4+b}} \right.

Isolating the variable "b" from the first equation, you get:

4.80 - m*5= b

Replacing the previous expression in the second equation you get:

6.90=m*4 + 4.80 - m*5

6.90 - 4.80=m*4 - m*5

2.1= (-1)*m

2.1÷(-1)= m

-2.1=m

Replacing the value of "m" in the expression 4.80 - m*5= b you get:

4.80 - (-2.1)*5= b

Solving you get:

15.3= b

So, <u><em>the demand function is p= (-2.1)*q + 15.3</em></u>

You are concerned about a matter that has federal implications and is tremendously important in your city. You would like
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

An example of a bill title could be

"A Act concerning the safety of public spaces"

Explanation:

If you're taking the time to write a bill then you must be concerned about a public issue so you would ask a member of congress (a representative or senate) to see to it that the bill is drafted.

The Bill is drafted by parliamentary draftsmen, who are lawyers skilled in drafting Bills. They ensure that the Bill is clear and unambiguous (unambiguous meaning that the bill is addressing a particular issue and the bill is clear and concise).

Steps in introducing a bill

(1) Creating the Bill

Members of the House of Representatives introduce or sponsor a bill after the bill has been drafted by parliamentary craftsmen. For the house of Representatives, the representative clerk assigns a number to the bill and for the senate a senate clerk assigns a number to the bill.

(2) Commitee Action

A committee is assigned to study the bill after it has been introduced. Commitees are assigned according to their functions , for example if a bill is about fire outbreaks, the committee in charge of fire hazards is assigned to look into the bill. Often a committee will refer the bill to one of its subcommittees. The subcommittee may request reports from government agencies. Experts and interested parties have an opportunity to offer testimony regarding the issue.

After all these are done, the full committee may make a recommendation to pass the bill, to revise (i.e., mark up) and release the bill, or to lay the bill aside (also known as tabling the bill).

(3) Floor Action

If the Bill is recommended to be marked up and released The bill is then returned to the full House of Representatives or Senate for further deliberation and approval. Here, members involved may propose amendments to the bill, add additional any relevant text, or otherwise alter the bill slightly.

(4): Vote

House of Representatives or Senate members vote on their respective versions of the proposed bill.

(5) Conference Committees

A bill must be approved by both Chambers of Congress (The House of Representatives and the Senate).

If the Senate has ammended and passed a bill that the House of Representatives has previously passed or vice versa, the two Chambers begin to resolve any legislative differences between the House of Representatives and Senate versions of the bill by having a conference committee.

When the chambers go to conference, the House and Senate send representatives to bargain and negotiate.

The final compromise is drafted or written in a Conference Report that must have been agreed to by both chambers before it is cleared for presidential consideration.

(6) Presidential Approval

After the bill is passed by both Chambers it is sent to the President for his approval (the president approves by signing the bill). If the Bill is, it becomes a Public Law.

When a President comments on but refuses to sign a bill it becomes a vetoed bill.

A vetoed bill is either rejected or it returns to Congress (The House of Representatives and Senate) for reconsideration.

If the President does not act within 10 days the bill automatically becomes law.

If the President does not sign the bill and the Congress does not act during the 10 days after the bill is sent to the President, the bill is automatically vetoed.

When the last scenario happens, it is known as a pocket veto.

(7) The Creation of a Law

The Public Law is assigned a number by the Office of Federal Register and the Government Printing Office prints a copy of the law.

Laws are issued first in slip form or a single publication. Later it is organized in the order in which it was passed. Finally, it is filed into subject order so that all laws concerning the same topic fall together.

A regular obstacle most bills pass through would be the inability to pass stage 2 ( ie the bill is tabled). This usually happens when an already existing bill solves the stated issue or the stated issue isn't really an issue. For this to be prevented, do research on your bill to see if laws are already in place and check if your bill would cause harm or be detrimental to the general public.

Your bill becomes a statue (a statue is a written law passed by the goverment as opposed to a verbal law or normal/expected code of conduct or a social norm).

For a bill to be cited -

Include:

The name of the bill (and if relevant), the abbreviated name of the regulatory body (either the house of Representatives or the senate H.R. or S.),

The number of the bill,

The number of the Congress, and

The year of the law's publication.
