Gross sales ($2,000,000  × 1.04 × 1.06)                                       $2,204,800

Less: Estimated uncollectible accounts ($2,204,800 × 2 %)         ($44,096)

Net sales                                                                                        $2,160,704

Cost of goods sold (1,100,000 × 1.03)                                          ($1,133,000)

Make the adjustments stated on the 2014 Income Statement.

For Operating Expenses, it is wise to first remove the depreciation expense and apply the increment of 10% to reflect Operating Costs for 2015.

Treat Depreciation Expense separately and at the same amount as for 2014, since depreciation is calculated on straight line method.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Given that;

Standard price = $8.75

Actual price = $8

Actual quantity = 3,000 units

Direct material price variance

= ( $0.75 ) × 3,000

= $2,250 favorable
