The Ralston Company manufactures a special line of graphic tubing items. The company estimates it will sell 81,000 units of this

item in 2016. The beginning finished goods inventory contains 26,000 units. The target for each year's ending inventory is 16,000 units.
Each unit requires six feet of plastic tubing. The tubing inventory currently includes 79,000 feet of the required tubing. Materials on hand are targeted to equal 3 months' production. Any shortage in materials will be made up by the immediate purchase of materials. Sales take place evenly throughout the year.

What are the materials requirements (in feet) for 2016?

a.398,500.

b.549,500.

c.453,500.

d.494,500.

Answer:

c. $453,500

Explanation:

The computation of materials requirements (in feet) is shown below:-

Estimated sales                      $81,000

Add Ending inventory            $16,000

Less Opening inventory        $26,000

Units for production budget  $71,000

Production units                      $426,000

($71,000 × 6)

Add Ending reserve                 $106,500

($426,000 ÷ 12 × 3)

Less Beginning reserve of

feet                                              $79,000

Materials requirements           $453,500

Therefore the materials requirements (in feet) for 2016 is $453,500

Direct Materials, Direct Labor, and Factory Overhead Cost Variance Analysis
seropon [69]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Mackinaw Inc. processes a base chemical into plastic. Standard costs and actual costs for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead incurred for the manufacture of 40,000 units of product were as follows:

Standard Costs - Actual Costs

Direct materials 120,000 lb. at $3.20 118,500 lb. at $3.25

Direct labor 12,000 hrs. at $24.40 11,700 hrs. at $25.00

Factory overhead Rates per direct labor hr., based on 100% of normal capacity of 15,000 direct labor hrs.:

Variable cost, $8.00 $91,200 variable cost

Fixed cost, $10.00 $150,000 fixed cost

Each unit requires 0.3 hour of direct labor.

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

Direct material price variance= (3.20 - 3.25)*118,500= $5925 unfavorable

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

Direct material quantity variance= (120,000 - 118,500)*3.20=-$4,800 favorable

Total direct material variance= 5,925 - 4,800= 1,125 unfavorable

B)Direct labor efficiency variance= (SQ - AQ)*standard rate

Direct labor efficiency variance= (12,000 - 11,700)*24.40= -$7,320 favorable

Direct labor price variance= (SR - AR)*AQ

Direct labor price variance= (24.40 - 25)*11,700= $7,020 unfavorable

Total direct labor variance= $300 favorable

C) Variable factory overhead controllable variance= (8*15,000 - 92,100)= -$27,900 favorable

Fixed factory overhead volume variance= (10*15,000 - 150,000)= 0

Total factory overhead variance= 27,900 favorable

For an average commercial vehicle being driven at 55 mph on dry pavement, it will take about _____ to bring the vehicle to a sto
zalisa [80]
Answer: 300 feet

Explanation:
Three important factors are involved in bringing a moving vehicle to a stop.

1. Perception distance is the distance a vehicle travels while your brain perceives the need to apply the brakes. An alert driver requires about 0.75 seconds to react. This time accounts for about 60 feet of travel.

2. Reaction distance is the distance traveled before the driver actually presses on the brake pedal. For an alert driver, this also takes about 0.75 seconds. This adds another 60 feet of travel.

3. Braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels before coming to a stop on a dry ground. On a slippery ground (after snow or rain) this distance is longer. On dry ground, the skidding distance is about 170 feet.

This means that an alert driver needs 60+60+170 = 290 feet (approximately 300 feet) to stop.
For this reason, tailgating at high driving speeds is dangerous.
