Business
1 answer:
ankoles [38]3 years ago

Answer:

A, B , and E

Explanation:

<u>A. Budgeted purchase prices were set without careful analysis of the market</u>

Budgets are prepared using estimated prices.  As much as possible, the budget prices should be the same as market prices.  It may happen that during price estimation, some aspects could have been ignored, leading to incorrect purchase prices. It could be possible that the budget prices are overstated. In such a scenario, there would be a favorable price variance to the business.

<u />

<u>B. Materials prices decreased unexpectedly due to industry oversupply</u>

The supply and demand forces determine the prices of raw materials. Low supply will lead to an increase in price as many buyers chase few goods. Constant demand and supply create stable prices. A sudden increase in supply will lead to reduced prices, which will cause favorable variances to the business.

<u>E. The materials purchasing officer negotiated more skillfully than was planned in the budget.</u>

The purchasing manager does the actual buying in any organization. Should the manager be a skilled negotiator, the business stands a better chance of buying goods at low prices. In this case, the purchasing manager negotiated for better prices. The results will be a positive price variance for the company.

Andrew [12]

Answer: $22,500

Explanation:

First calculate the rate of allocation based on sales to determine how much of Department T's sales should be attributed to Advertising.

The Rate of Allocation based on Sales = Advertising Expense/Total sales

= 50,000/475,000

= 0.105263

= 10.5263%

This 10.5% can then be used to find out how much of Advertising to apportion to Department T based on department sales,

= Department sales * Allocation rate

= 213,750 * 10.5263%

= $22,500

$22,500 should be allocated to Department T.

The Harrisburg Store has net working capital of $2,715, net fixed assets of $22,407, sales of $31,350, and current liabilities o
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

1.08 dollars of sales are generated from every $1 in total assets.

Explanation:

Calculate Current asset from net working capital formula:

Net Working capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

$2,715 = Current Assets - $3,908

Current Assets = $2,715 + $3,908

Current Assets = $6,623

Now calculate Total Assets:

Total Assets = Fixed Asset + Current Assets

Total Assets = $22,407 + $6,623

Total Assets = $29,030

We can calculate dollars' worth of sales are generated from every $1 in total assets by following formula:

Asset turnover ratio = Net Sales / Total Assets

Asset turnover ratio = $31,350 / $29,030 = 1.08

Emco Company uses direct labor cost as a basis for computing its predetermined overhead rate. In computing the predetermined ove
Andru [333]

Answer:

B. overstate the predetermined overhead rate.

Explanation:

As we know

The Predetermined overhead rate would be equal to

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours or machine hours)

In the given question, the direct labor cost is used for computing the predetermined overhead rate which is already wrong.

To find out the predetermined overhead rate, we always use the indirect cost instead of direct cost

This error could overstate the predetermined overhead rate as it would increase the indirect labor due to which overhead is also increased. So, automatically the rate would also be increased.

Natalie owns a condominium near Cocoa Beach in Florida. This year, she incurs the following expenses in connection with her cond
kumpel [21]

Answer and Explanation:

Natalie's Gross Income = $10,000

75 + 35 = 110 days

Expenses:

Insurance Expense (75/110) x 1000                 682

Advertising Expense                                        500

Mortgage Interest (75/110) x 3500                  2386

Property Taxes (75/110) x 900                         614

Repairs and Maintenance (75/110) x 650        443

Utilities    (75/110) x 950                                   648

Depreciation (75/110) x 8500                          5795

Until the depreciation expenses the total expenses accumulate to  5273. If we deduct that with the gross income total we get 4727. We can only deduct 4727 from the total portion of 5795 depreciation expense.

Therefore, for AGI deductions we take total of (5273 + 4727) = $10,000

For Natalie's personal deduction of AGI

Mortgage interest (35/110) x 3500                    1114

Property taxes (35/110) x 900                            286

Total personal deduction for AGI                    $1400
