Which of the following helps economists judge the overall condition of a

Winston Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $1,250,000. The company has decided that the

Anton [14]

Solution :

a).

Estimated overhead 1,250,000

Divide by the estimated machine hours 50,000

Predetermined overhead rate 25

Actual machine hours 54,300

Multiply by predetermined overhead rate 25

The factory overhead amount applied $ 1,357,500

b).

Actual factory overhead 1,348,800

Less : factory overhead amount applied 1,357,500

The underapplied amount is $ 8700

A grocery chain is considering the installation of a set of 4 self-checkout lanes. The new self-checkout lane setup will replace

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

a. 2560 checkout

b. 3072 checkout

c. Old system = 3.85 checkout/$

New system = 5.56 checkout/$

Explanation:

Given:

Checkout lanes = 4

a.

How many checkouts did the old system provide in a shift?

Given

Lanes = 2

Time in use = 16 hours --- Convert to seconds

Time = 16 * 3600 = 57600 seconds

Checkout = 1 per 45 seconds

Number of check outs is calculated as:

2 lanes * 57600 seconds * 1 checkout / 45 seconds

Number of checkout = 2560 checkouts

b.

How many checkouts does the new system provide?

Lanes = 4

TimeTime in use = 16 hours --- Convert to minutes

Time = 16 * 60 = 960 minutes

Number of check outs is calculated as:

4 lanes * 960 minutes * 1 checkout / 1.25 minutes

Number of checkout = 3072 checkouts

c.

Given

Electricity costs for both setups are $0.06 per checkout

Bagging (material) costs are $0.12 per checkout with the old system

Bagging (material) costs are $0.20 per checkout with the old system

Cost for the old system is calculated by:

$0.06 * 2560 + $0.12 * 2560

= $153.6 + $307.2

= $460.3

Multifactor = 2560 checkout/$460.3

Multifactor = 5.56 checkout/$

Cost for the new system is calculated by:

0.06 * $3072 + 0.20 * $3072

= $184.32 + $614.4

= $798.72

Multifactor = 3072 checkout/$798.72

Multifactor = 3.85 checkout/$

In 2018, the Barton and Barton Company changed its method of valuing inventory from the FIFO method to the average cost method.

Sati [7]

Answer:

In Barton and Barton Company's general journal, entry required include:

Debit Retained Earnings Account with $8.2 million

Credit Opening Inventory with $8.2 million

Being reversal of overstated inventory due to change from FIFO to Average cost method.

Explanation:

The debit entry to the Retained Earnings Account will reduce the balance by $8.2 million. The effect of overstating the closing inventory is overstatement of the net income because the cost of sales was understated as a result of the inventory overstatement.

The credit entry to the Opening Inventory reduces the balance to the new balance based on the average cost method of $23.8 million.

The FIFO cost method or First-In, First-Out method is an inventory costing method that assumes that goods that were bought first were the ones to be sold first. The inventory cost is therefore valued with the most recent quantity and cost price.

On the other hand, the Average Cost Method, also called the Weighted Average Cost Method, calculates the inventory cost by adding all the period's inventory and dividing it by the quantity for the period. This gives an average cost which is in turn used to multiply the quantity of inventory at the end of the period to obtain the inventory cost.

Both methods are estimates that produce different results and affect the reported net income differently. There is always the need for consistency in choosing the method to apply so that reported net income is not unduly distorted.

Erie company manufactures a mobile fitness device called the jogging mate. the company uses standards to control its costs. the

scoray [572]

Answer:

Standard Hours Standard Rate per Hour Standard Cost

24 minutes (0.4 hrs.) $5.40 $2.16

During August, 8,390 hours of direct labor time were needed to make 19,600 units of the Jogging Mate. The direct labor cost totaled $43,628 for the month.

1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to makes 19,600 Jogging Mates?

19,600 jogging mates x 0.4 hours = 7,840 hours

2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH × SR) to make 19,600 Jogging Mates?

7,840 hours x $5.40 = $42,336

3. What is the labor spending variance?

labor spending variance = standard cost - actual cost = $42,336 - $43,628 = $1,292 unfavorable

4. What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance?

labor rate variance = (standard rate - actual rate) x actual hours = ([$5.40 - ($43,628/8,390 hours)] x 8,390 hours = ($5.40 - $5.20) x 8,390 hours = $0.20 x 8,390 = $1,678 favorable
labor efficiency variance = (standard hours - actual hours) x actual rate = (7,840 hours - 8,390 hours) x $5.20 = -550 hours x $5.20 = -$2,860 unfavorable
