E11-22A (similar to) Question Help The Garver Restaurant Group manufactures the bags of frozen French fries used at its franchis

ed restaurants. Last​ week, Garver's purchased and used 103,000 pounds of potatoes at a price of $0.85 per pound. During the​ week, 1,700 direct labor hours were incurred in the plant at a rate of $12.35 per hour. The standard price per pound of potatoes is $1.00​, and the standard direct labor rate is $12.05 per hour. Standards indicate that for the number of bags of frozen fries​ produced, the factory should have used 101,000 pounds of potatoes and 1,400 hours of direct labor. Read the requirementsLOADING.... Requirement 1. Determine the direct material price and quantity variances. Be sure to label each variance as favorable or unfavorable. ​(Enter the variances as positive numbers. Enter currency amounts to the nearest cent and your answers to the nearest whole dollar. Label the variances as favorable​ (F) or unfavorable​ (U). Abbreviations​ used: DM​ = Direct​ materials.) Begin by determining the formula for the price​ variance, then compute the price variance for direct materials.

Answer:

Please see answer below

Explanation:

This is an incomplete question. However, other parts of the question have been added as extracted .

1. Determine the direct material price and quantity variances

Direct material price variance

= (Actual price - Standard price) × Purchase quantity

= ($0.85 - $1) × 103,000

= $15,450 Favorable

Direct material quantity variance

= (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) × Standard price

= (103,000 - 101,000) × $1

= $2,000 Unfavorable

2. Think of a plausible explanation for the variances found in requirement 1.

°For direct material price variance, the possible reasons for the variance are shortage of raw materials, discount application etc. However, variance was favorable because the direct material was purchased for lesser amount compared to the standard price.

°For direct material quantity variance, possible causes of variance are low quality of raw materials, incorrect specification of raw materials, damage during production processes. However, the variance was unfavorable because

the actual quantity used is more than the standard quantity that ought to have been used.

3. Determine the direct labor rate and efficiency variance

Direct labour rate variance

= (Actual rate - Standard rate) × Actual hours worked

= ($12.35 - $12.05) × 1,700

= $510 Unfavorable

Direct labor efficiency variance

= (Actual hours worked - Standard hours worked) × Standard rate

= (1,700 - 1,400) × $12.05

= $3,615 Unfavorable

4. Could the explanation for the labor variances be tied to material variances.

No. The total labor variance could be as a result of money paid to laborers which be could be lower or higher than the standard rate and using either less or more direct labor hours than expected.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

March 31 Inventory of raw materials = $90,000

Raw materials purchases in April = $560,000

Factory payroll cost in April = $368,000

Overhead costs incurred in April:

Indirect materials,                           $54,000

Indirect labor,                                  $23,000

Factory rent,                                   $39,000

The following standards for variable manufacturing overhead have been established for a company that makes only one product: Sta
Naddik [55]

Answer:

$11.165 unfavorable

Explanation:

The formula to compute the variable overhead efficiency variance is shown below:

= (Actual direct labor hours - standard direct labor hours) × variable overhead per hour

where,  

Actual direct labor hours is 2,975

And, the standard direct labor hours equal to

= 250 units × 9

= 2,250

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= (2,975 - 2,250) × $15.40

= $11.165 unfavorable

Evaluate an open economy from the spending approach in order to get the three sectorial balances, private, external, and public.
velikii [3]

Answer:

GDP for an open economy from the spending approach follows this equation:

GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net Exports (Exports - Imports)

It can also be written as:

GDP = C + I + G + NX (X - N)

The balance of private consumption is simply equal to C, the balance of public spending is G, and the balance of the external sector is net exports or NX.
