Javonte Co. set standards of 2 hours of direct labor per unit of product and $15.80 per hour for the labor rate. During October,

the company uses 12,100 hours of direct labor at a $193,600 total cost to produce 6,400 units of product. In November, the company uses 16,100 hours of direct labor at a $258,405 total cost to produce 6,800 units of product. AH = Actual Hours SH = Standard Hours AR = Actual Rate SR = Standard Rate (1) Compute the direct labor rate variance, the direct labor efficiency variance, and the total direct labor cost variance for each of these two months. Classify each variance as favorable or unfavorable. (2) Javonte investigates variances of more than 5% of actual direct labor cost. Which direct labor variances will the company investigate further?

Answer:

October

direct labor rate variance =$2,420 unfavorable

direct labor efficiency variance  =$11,060 favorable

direct labor cost variance  = $ 8,640 favorable

<em>Investigate : direct labor efficiency variance</em>

November

direct labor rate variance = $4,025 unfavorable

direct labor efficiency variance =$ 39,500 favorable

direct labor cost variance  = $35,475 favorable

<em>Investigate : direct labor efficiency variance</em>

Explanation:

October

direct labor rate variance = (Aq × Ap) -  (Aq × Sp)

                                          = (12,100×$16) - (12,100×$15.80)

                                          =$2,420 unfavorable

direct labor efficiency variance = (Aq × Sp) - (Sq × Sp)

                                                    =(12,100 × $15.80) - (6,400×2 ×$15.80)

                                                    =$11,060 favorable

direct labor cost variance = direct labor rate variance + direct labor efficiency variance  

                                           = $2,420 (A) + $11,060 (F)

                                           = $ 8,640 favorable

November

direct labor rate variance = (Aq × Ap) -  (Aq × Sp)

                                          = (16,100×$16.05) - (16,100×$15.80)

                                          = $4,025 unfavorable

direct labor efficiency variance = (Aq × Sp) - (Sq × Sp)

                                                    =(16,100 × $15.80) - (6,800×2 ×$15.80)

                                                    =$ 39,500 favorable

direct labor cost variance = direct labor rate variance + direct labor efficiency variance

                                          = $4,025 (A) + $ 39,500 (F)

                                           = $35,475 favorable

Which of the following scenarios could lower a firm’s demand for labor? Correct Answer(s) James operates a restaurant in a seasi
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

James operates a restaurant in a seaside tourist town. It is winter and all the tourists have left

Rex invests in new computer software that will automate his bookkeeping.

Explanation:

In winter, the patronage at James' resturant would drop because tourists would have left. Because demand at the resturant has dropped, James would reduce his demand for Labour which are his staffs. He would let some staffs go temporarily to reduce costs .

If Rex invests in a software that automates his book keeping, he wouldn't need an accountant to help with his book keeping, so demand for labour would fall.

After Katie's competition closes down, more people would patronise Katie. Katie's demand for Labour would increase because of the influx of customers.

Amy would need labour to obtain wood; her demand for Labour would increase.

If school is just resuming, there would be a high influx of people into the bookstore, the bookstore would increase its demand for Labour because of the high influx of customers .

I hope my answer helps you.

Kalons, Inc. is a U.S.-based MNC that frequently imports raw materials from Canada. Kalons is typically invoiced for these goods
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) purchase Canadian dollar put options.

Explanation:

A sale option (or put option) gives its holder the right - but not the obligation - to sell an asset at a predetermined price until a specific date. The seller of the option to sell has the obligation to buy the underlying asset if the holder of the option (buyer of the right to sell) decides to exercise his right.

The purchase of put options is used as hedging, when price falls are anticipated in shares that are held, since by means of the purchase of Put the price is established from which money is earned. If the stock falls below that price, the investor earns money. If the share price falls, the profits obtained with the sale option compensate in whole or in part for the loss experienced by said fall.

Losses are limited to the premium (price paid for the purchase of the sale option). Earnings increase as the share price falls in the market.
