Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>

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

Direct material price variance= (5.05 - 5.1)*6,020

Direct material price variance= $301 unfavorable

<u>To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>

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

Direct material quantity variance= (6,076 - 6,020)*5.05

Direct material quantity variance= $282.8 favorable

Standard quantity= 980*6.2= 6,076

<u>Finally, the total direct material variance:</u>

Total direct material variance= Direct material quantity variance - Direct material price variance

Total direct material variance= 282.8 - 301

Total direct material variance= $18.2 unfavorable

Pets Inc. makes 2 products, dog collars and cat collars. Each passes through the cutting machine, which is the binding constrain
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Dog Collar 10,000 units

Cat Collar 15,000 units

Explanation:

We have only constraint of 2,000 hours on the cutting machine.

First we will calculate the Contribution margin per hour

Contribution margin per hour = Contribution margin per unit / Numbers of hours required per unit

Dog Collar = $10 / (6/60)hours = 10 / 0.1 = $100 per hour

Cat Collar = $8 / (4/60) hours = $120 per hour

Pets Inc. will make Cat collar more than dog

Hours required for 15,000 unit of Cat Collar = 15000 x 4 / 60 = 1,000 hours

Hours for Dog Collars = 2,000 - 1000 = 1000 hour

Unit of Dog Collar = 1000 hours / (6/60) = 10,000 units
