Folklore Music manufactures harmonicas. Folklore uses standard costs to judge performance. Recently, a clerk mistakenly threw aw

ay some of the records, and only partial data for July exist. Folklore knows that the total direct labor variance for the month was $350 F and that the standard labor rate was $11 per hour. A recent pay cut caused a favorable labor rate variance of $0.40 per hour. The standard direct labor hours for actual July outputs were 5,910.
Required:
a. Find the actual number of direct labor hours worked during July. First, find the actual direct labor rate per hour. Then, determine the actual number of direct labor hours worked by setting up the computation of the total direct labor variance as given.
b. Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. Do these variances suggest that the manager may have made trade-offs? Explain.

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. The actual direct labor rate per hour will be:

= Standard direct labor rate per hour - favorable labor rate variance

= $11 - $0.40

= $10.60

Then, the actual direct labor hours worked during July will be calculated as:

= (5910 × $11) - $350 / $10.6

= ($65010 - $350) / $10.6

= $64660 / $10.6

= 6100

b. The direct labor rate variance will be:

= (Actual rate per hour - standard rate per hour) × Actual labor hours

= (10.60 - 11.00) × 6100

= 2440F

Direct labor efficiency variance will be:

= (6900 - 5910) × $11

= 2090U

The direct labor rate variance that was favorable shows that the manager paid a lower rate to its staffs while the direct labor efficiency variance that was unfavorable implies that the manager used less efficient workers. This indicates that a trade-off took place.

= (6900

Gwen inherited 100 shares of supershoes stock when her mother died on october 21, 2015; the fair market value of the stock was $
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: Gwen should report a $3,000 long-term capital gain in her income tax return.

In this question the price paid by Gwen’s mother for the shares is irrelevant because of her death.

The stock’s fair market value ($20) when Gwen inherited the shares (21st October 2015) is Gwen stepped up value.

Gwen’s gain from selling the shares is:

Gain / (Loss) = (Selling Price per share - Stepped up value per share) * Number of shares

Gain = (50 - 20) *100

Gain = $3,000

Gwen inherited the shares on (21st October 2015) and held the shares until (3rd july 2017), so she held the shares for more than one year after inheriting it.  So, she will report a long-term capital gain on her income tax return.

Demand"" is a series of prices and the related quantities that consumers are willing and able to buy at a particular ___________
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

given price in a given time period

Explanation:

Demand is the quantity of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to buy at a given price in a given time period. Each of us has an individual demand for particular goods and services and our demand at each price reflects the value that we place on a product, linked usually to the enjoyment or usefulness that we expect from consuming it. Law of demand  states that If the price of something goes up, people are going to buy less of it.The higher price leads to a lower quantity demanded and that a lower price leads to a higher quantity demanded.  Demand is based on needs and wants a consumer may be able to differentiate between a need and a want, but from an economist’s perspective they are the same thing. Demand is also based on ability to pay. If you cannot pay, you have no effective demand. What a buyer pays for a unit of the specific good or service is called price. The total number of units purchased at that price is called the quantity demanded. An increase in the price of a good or service almost always decreases the quantity demanded of that good or service. Conversely, a decrease in price will increase the quantity demanded.
