Answer:
The correct answers are:
a) Family owned restaurant
b) A manufacturer of cars
c) A company that invented a very comfortable razor
Explanation:
First of all, the family who owned a restaurant will be the one that would most likely engaged in advertising due to the fact that they provide a service that has to be known for the people of the community around the place and all the tourists that go that area, meanwhile the other familiy would obviously just sell its products to the better buyer that they could find.
Secondly, the manufacturer of cars would be the one that most likely engaged in advertising due to the fact that they found themselfs in a very competitive and oligopoly market that is the car market and therefore that they highly need to stand out their making them better than the ones from the competitors.
Finally, the company who invented a very comfortable razor would be the one who engaged more in advertising due to the fact that they known they have a better product that the rest of the competitors so they need to take advantage of that and make sure that the consumers know about it and with that they would sell more and therefore invest more in advertising as well.
Answer: The correct answer is c. Expenses are reported on the income statement when cash is paid.
Explanation: Matching principle states that expenses are matched with the related revenue in the same period, that is, expenses incurred to generate related revenue are recorded during the same time interval the related revenue is recorded in order to show the true and fair position of the profitability of the company.
Based on the above definition, <u>only option C does not align with the matching principle</u><u> </u>because expenses should be recorded in the income statement when incurred and NOT when cash is paid. If it is recorded when cash is paid, it means <em>cash basis of accounting</em> is being applied.
Answer:
The sales mix is 1:2.
Model 101 Model 102
Selling Price 21 56
Variable Cost -14 -35
Contribution Per Unit 7 21
Multiply Sales Mix Ratio 1 2
Weighted Contribution 7 42
Now add the weighted Contribution to compute Contribution margin per composite unit which is 7+42=$49
Explanation:
I assumed that the cost and selling price here for Model 101 is $14 and $21 respectively. Similarly the cost and selling price of Model 102 is $35 and $56 respectively.
Remember that Contribution margin per composite unit means that we will earn 49 dollars(combined contribution of sales mix) if we sell the sale mix of Model 101 and 102 which is 1:2.
Answer:
a. $13
b. $20,625 Unfavorable
Explanation:
a. Computation of overhead volume variance is shown below:-
Variable overhead rate = Variable overhead cost ÷ Expected standard hours
= $275,000 ÷ 25,000
= 11 direct labor hour
Fixed overhead rate = Productive capacity ÷ Expected standard hours
= $50,000 ÷ 25,000
= $2 direct labor hour
Total overheard rate = Variable overhead rate + Fixed overhead rate
= $11 + $2
= $13
b. The computation of overhead controllable variance is shown below:-
Variable overhead cost = Overhead rate × Standard hours
= $11 × 21,875
= $240,625
Fixed overhead cost = Overhead rate × Standard hours
= $2 × 21,875
= $43,750
Total overhead cost = $13 × 21,875
= $284,375
Actual result = $305,000
Variance = Actual result - overhead cost applied
= $305,000 - $284,375
= $20,625 Unfavorable
Working note:-
Standard direct labor hours = Actual units ÷ Standard hours
= 35,000 × 1.6
= $21,875
Standard units per hour = (Standard capacity × Expected production) ÷ Standard hours
= (50,000 units × 80%) ÷ 25,000 hours
= 1.6 units per hour
Answer:
Therefore the required time period is 3 years.
Explanation:
To calculate the number of period we are using the following formula of future value
Future value = 
is cash flow at period 0= $ 35,00
r = rate of interest = 8.00% = 0.08
n= number of periods = ?
Future value = $44,089.92
Substituting the values in the formula
Therefore the required time period is 3 years.
