Answer:

Patriot Company

1. The total material costs incurred by the company during the month (actual costs of materials) = $168,000

2. The total material costs allowed for the production during the month (i.e., standard costs of materials) = $176,000

3. The total variance for materials to be reported during the month is $8,000 F.

4. The Direct material price variance is = $8,000 U

5. The Direct material quantity variance is = $16,000 F

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Standard for materials per unit:

Materials (Ballistic Nylon): 8 yards  $4 per yard = $32 per unit

Production in the most recent month = 5,500 units

Actual materials purchased and used = 40,000 yards at $4.20 per yard

1. The total material costs incurred by the company during the month (actual costs of materials) = $168,000 (40,000 * $4.20)

2. The total material costs allowed for the production during the month (i.e., standard costs of materials) = $176,000 (8 * 5,500 * $4.00)

3. The total variance for materials to be reported during the month = $8,000.  It is favorable (F)

4. Direct materials price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) * Actual quantity

= ($4.00 - $4.20) * 40,000

= $8,000 U

5. Direct materials quantity variance = Standard quantity - Actual quantity * Standard price

= (44,000 - 40,000) * $4

= 4,000 * $4

= $16,000 F

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

$8,013

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of the depreciation expense is shown below:

The net income is

= An addition to retained earnings + cash dividend paid

= $4,221 + $469

= $4,690

Now the earning before tax

= (Net income) ÷ (1 - tax rate)

= ($4,690) ÷(1 - 0.21)

= $5,937

Now the earning before tax and interest is

= $5,937 + $1,300

= $7,237

So, the depreciation expense is

= $30,600 - $15,350 - $7,237

= $8,013

b. Now suppose instead that housing credits are withdrawn gradually at a rate of $500 for each $1,000 that someone is earning ab
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: $0

Explanation:

Layla qualifies for $8,000 in housing credits.

These are withdrawn at $500 for every $1,000 she earns above the wage limit of $26,500

Layla's annual income = 35,000 + 7,500

= $42,500

Amount earned above limit = 42,500 - 26,500

= $16,000

Amount of housing credit withdrawn is $500 per thousand so for $16,000, $8,000 will be withdrawn from her housing credit.

Housing credit = 8,000 - 8,000

= $0
