Elite Stationary employs 20 full-time employees and 10 trainees. Direct and indirect costs are applied on a professional labor

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Since cost per hour of full-time employees is $150, while cost per hour of trainees $27, clients using proportionately more full-time employees than trainees will be under billed or charged for the resources or labor hour used.

Explanation:

The data in the question are merged and they are first separated before answering the question as follows:

Details Budget Actual

Indirect costs $250,000 $400,000

Annual salary of each employee $200,000 $250,000

Annual salary of each trainee $40,000 $45,000

Total professional labor-hours 40,000 dlh 50,000 dlh

In normal costing system, actual costs are used.

Therefore, labor hours for each category and cost per hour can be calculated as follows:

Full-time employees total labor hours = (20/30) * 50,000 = 33,333 hours

Each full-time employee annual labor hour = 33,333/20 = 1,667 hours

Cost per hour of full-time employees = $250,000/1,667 = $150 per hour

Trainee total labor hours = (10/30) * 50,000 = 16,667 hours

Each trainee annual labor hours = 16,667/10 = 1,667 hours

Cost per hour of trainees = $45,000/1,667 = $27 per hour

Since cost per hour of full-time employees is $150, while cost per hour of trainees $27, clients using proportionately more full-time employees than trainees will be under billed or charged for the resources or labor hour used.

inessss [21]

Answer:

The refund claimed should be shown as a benefit due to loss carryback in 2018.

Explanation:

Since Tanner, Inc. incurred a financial and taxable loss for 2018. and decided to use the carryback provisions as it had been profitable up to this year, the amounts related to the carryback should be reported in the 2018 financial statements as a benefit due.

Tax loss carryback is when a corporation retrospectively adjusts its tax returns for prior periods if it incurs a net operating loss (NOL) in current period.

The loss carryback generates a tax refund for the business because it reduces previous year tax liability. After the carried back loss is applied, it will be as though the business overpaid taxes the previous year; which will now be shown as a benefit in the current year

Why net profit will be higher if increases average prices to customers?

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Higher prices with same sales quantity will mean greater profit.

Explanation:

Let's hold some variables constant. If a business sells books, and they take the prices up, if they sell the same quantity (at higher prices) this would increase revenues. Higher revenues, less the same cost structure (variable and fixed costs) will lead to a greater profit generation. Of course in the real world, price elasticity of demand comes in play when prices are changed. If prices go up, typically sales quantity will decrease and there may be a net effect in revenue and hence profit. In the simple case where prices go up and sales quantity is unaffected, net profit will rise.
