World Company expects to operate at 80% of its productive capacity of 66,250 units per month. At this planned level, the company

expects to use 26,500 standard hours of direct labor. Overhead is allocated to products using a predetermined standard rate of 0.500 direct labor hours per unit. At the 80% capacity level, the total budgeted cost includes $53,000 fixed overhead cost and $331,250 variable overhead cost. In the current month, the company incurred $389,000 actual overhead and 23,500 actual labor hours while producing 50,000 units. (1) Compute the overhead volume variance.

Answer:

Overhead volume variance = $3,000 Unfavorable

Overhead controllable variance = $26,500 unfavorable

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a)

Number of units produced = 80% × 66,250

= 53,000  units

Standard = 26,500 hours ÷ 53,000 units

= 0.5 direct labor hour per unit

Particulars                        a                 b               Direct labor hour(a ÷ b)

Variable overhead rate $331,250      26,500        $12.5 per hour

Fixed overhead rate       $53,000       26,500        $2 per hour

Total overhead rate      $384,250                          $15 per hour

The standard hours to produce 50,000 units = 25,000 (50,000 units × 0.50 hours per unit.)

Applied fixed overhead = $2 × 25,000

= $50,000

Overhead fixed volume variance is

= $53,000 - $50,000

= 3,000 unfavorable

Now

b) Standard hour = 50,000 units × 0.5 direct labor hour per unit

= 25,000

Overhead rate(a) Standard hours(b) Applied overhead(a × b) Actual variance

Variable overhead $12.5 25,000 $312,500

Fixed overhead $2 25,000 $50,000

Total overhead $14.5               25,000           $362,500       $389,000

= $362,500 - $389,000

$26,500 unfavorable

If the actual cost is more than the standard one than the variance should be unfavorable and If the actual cost is less than the standard one than the variance should be favorable

Stells [14]

Answer: I found the correct and complete question:

Which of the following statements is most CORRECT with respect to international diversification?

a) the gains from diversification may be diminished due to combined correlations accompanied by volatility in world markets. b) world markets always seem to be most uncorrelated when volatility is present. c) world markets have displayed relatively low and fixed correlations over the last five years. d) global diversification produces gain even when world markets have correlations value near one.

Explanation: The correct answer is "a) the gains from diversification may be diminished due to combined correlations accompanied by volatility in world markets.".

Global markets are generally in different phases and many of them are part of weak economies that therefore have a high degree of volatility and some are correlated so that a loss in one of these markets can lead to a loss in another and earnings can be diminished.

arsen [322]

Answer:

Holding company.

Explanation:

A holding company normally does not have operations of its own but owns the share of other companies. They form corporate groups, so are referred to as corporate of corporates.

Holding companies work to reduce the risk of the companies they own shares in. For example the shares they hold are protected from the operations of the company, so in times of crisis there is a pool of funds the business can fall back on.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

It will take 14.2 months before Helen pays off the card.

Explanation:

PV Ordinary Annuity = C*[(1-(1+i/100)^(-n))/(i/100)]

C = Cash flow per period

i = interest rate

n = number of payments

250= 20*((1-(1+ 21/1200)^(-n*12))/(21/1200))

n(in years) = 1.19

Months = years*12 = 1.19*12 = 14.2 months
