docker41 [41]

Answer:

Direct labor rate variance = (SR - AR) $\times$ AH

October = ($15 - $15.20) $\times$ 16,250 = - $3,250 Unfavorable

November = ($15 - $15.25) $\times$ 22,000 = - $5,500 Unfavorable

Direct Labor Efficiency Variance = (SH - AH) $\times$ SR

October = (16,800 - 16,250) $\times$ $15 = 8,250 Favorable

November = (18,000 - 22,000) $\times$ $15 = - $60,000 Unfavorable

Direct Labor Cost Variance = Standard Cost - Actual Cost

October = $252,000 - $247,000 = $5,000 Favorable

November = $270,000 - $335,500 = - $65,500 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Computing variances for each month

Particulars October November Equation

Total units produced 5,600 units 6,000 units (a)

Standard hour per unit 3 hours 3 hours (b)

Total standard hour SH 16,800 18,000 (c) = (a)*(b)

Total standard cost

of labor @ $15 SR per hour $252,000 $270,000 (d) = (c) * 15

Actual hours used AH 16,250 22,000 (e)

Actual cost $247,000 $335,500 (f)

Actual Rate per hour AR $15.20 $15.25 (g) = (f)/(e)

Using the above information we have

Direct labor rate variance = (SR - AR) $\times$ AH

October = ($15 - $15.20) $\times$ 16,250 = - $3,250 Unfavorable

November = ($15 - $15.25) $\times$ 22,000 = - $5,500 Unfavorable

Direct Labor Efficiency Variance = (SH - AH) $\times$ SR

October = (16,800 - 16,250) $\times$ $15 = 8,250 Favorable

November = (18,000 - 22,000) $\times$ $15 = - $60,000 Unfavorable

Direct Labor Cost Variance = Standard Cost - Actual Cost

October = $252,000 - $247,000 = $5,000 Favorable

November = $270,000 - $335,500 = - $65,500 Unfavorable

A clothing store has ordered 100,000 swimsuits. It costs $22 to produce a swimsuit. They plan to sell them until August 31 at a

fomenos

Answer:

Total profit = $1800000 @ a given demand level of 100K units of swimsuit.

Explanation:

Lets first develop a formula representing the Total profit for any demand level, see as follows:

(Selling price per unit× d) - (cost per unit× d)= Total profit

We will be using the short forms of the components in this formula.

SP = selling price per unit

d= demand

cp= cost per unit

TP= Total profit.

Now lets substitute the values into the formula to compute profit at any demand level (in this case 100,000 units of swimsuits) as follows:

Total profit = ($40× 100000) - ($22× 100000)

Total profit = $4000,000 - $2200,000

Total profit = $1800000 @ a given demand level of 100K units of swimsuit.

(NOTE: The formula mentioned above can be used to compute the correct profit for any demand level, even though if there is a change in sp and/or cp, the formula can also be useful.)
