Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials: 5 pounds at $8.00 per pound $40.00

The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 25,000 units.

<u>a)</u>

<u>The material cost included in the planning budget is the standard cost multiplied for the budgeted production.</u>

<u></u>

Direct material requiered= 25,000*5= 100,000 pounds

Standard cost per pound= $5

Direct material budget= 100,000*5= $500,000

b)

<u>The raw material's flexible budget adapts to the actual production level.</u>

Direct material flexible budget= standard cost*actual material used in production

Direct material flexible budget= 5*160,000

Direct material flexible budget= $800,000

<u>c)</u>

<u>To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (5 - 7.5)*160,000

Direct material price variance= $400,000 unfavorable

Assume that management is evaluating the purchase of a new machine as follows: Cost of new machine: $800,000 Residual value: $0
borishaifa [10]

Answer: a. 15%

b. Initial Cost divided by Annual Net Cash Inflow

Explanation:

1. Cost of new machine = $800,000

Residual value = $0

Estimated total income from machine = $300,000

Expected useful life = 5 years

Average rate of return on this asset will be calculated thus:

Firstly, we'll calculate the net income per year = Total net income / Number of years = $300000/5 = $60000

Average investment = $80000/2 = $400000

Average rate of return = Net Income per year / Average investment = $60000/$400000 = 0.15 = 15%

2. Cash payback period is computed as the initial cost divided by the annual net cash inflow. It is the amount of time that is required for the cash inflows that is generated by a particular project to be able to offset its initial cash outflow.
