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

On January 1, Year 1, the Hoverman Corporation made amendments to its defined benefit pension plan, resulting in $150,000 of pas
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

a)

In IFRS according to IAS 19 all past service cost is recognized in the net income in the period in which amendment (change) is made by entity for defined benefit pension, it does not matter what is the status of the employees who will benefit the change. So in Year 1 $150000 will be expended completely and in subsequent years the amount is $0

Year 1 =$150000

Subsequent years= $0

b) In US GAAP the past service cost is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income in the year of amendment. It is amortized over the future working life of the participants.

Year 1 is year of adoption hence $0 is amortized because $150000 is included in Accumulated other comprehensive income.

Subsequent years: (150000/10=15000) $15000 will be amortized for each year for 10 years.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

In 1980

Explanation:

Year        Salary        Percentage Salary Increase        CPI Increase

1970       $12,000     -                                                      -

1980       $24,000    100                                                 50

1990       $36,000    50                                                   83.3

As can be seen in the table, the Professor's salary increase from 1970 to 1980 was twice as much as the CPI increase during the same period.

On the contrary, his salary increase from 1980 to 1990 was significantly less than the CPI increase during the same period.

Therefore, the professor's salary was highest in 1980.
