Answer:
The correct answer is option (B).
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
First we calculate for L3 pack.
Setup cost = cost allocated using direct labor-hours - Setup cost allocated using setup-hours
By putting the value in the formula, we get
Setup cost = $19,250 - $13,400
= $5,850 ( Positive shows over costed)
So, L3 pack is overcosted by $5,850
The L3 pack is overcosted by $5,850 under traditional costing using direct labor-hours compared to setup-hours, which is a more effective cost driver.
Regarding the question on whether the L3 pack is overcosted or undercosted and by how much in Hebar Corp's setup costs under traditional costing, we will analyze the difference in allocated costs when using direct labor-hours versus setup-hours. The allocated setup cost for L3 using direct labor-hours is $19,250 and using setup-hours is $13,400, leading to a difference of $19,250 - $13,400 = $5,850. Since setup-hours is considered a more effective cost driver, and the cost allocated using setup-hours is lower, we can deduce that the L3 pack is overcosted by $5,850 when using direct labor-hours. This corresponds to option B, making it the correct answer.

Bickford Company plans to sell 135,000 units in November and 180,000 units in December. Bickford's policy is that 10% of the following month's sales must be in ending inventory. On November 1, there were 14,000 units in inventory. It takes 30 minutes of direct labor time to make one unit. Direct labor wages average $17 per hour. Variable overhead is applied at the rate of $5 per direct labor hour. Fixed overhead is budgeted at $56,500 per month. What is the budgeted overhead for November
The budgeted overhead for November is $1,541,500, calculated by adding the fixed overhead cost, direct labor cost, and variable overhead cost.
Explanation:To calculate the budgeted overhead for November, we need to consider the direct labor cost and the variable overhead cost. First, we will calculate the direct labor cost. Since it takes 30 minutes of direct labor time to make one unit and there were 135,000 units planned to be sold in November, the total direct labor hours required will be 135,000 units x 30 minutes/unit ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 67,500 hours.
Next, we'll calculate the direct labor cost by multiplying the total direct labor hours by the labor wage rate of $17 per hour. The direct labor cost will be 67,500 hours x $17/hour = $1,147,500.
Now, let's calculate the variable overhead cost. Since the variable overhead rate is $5 per direct labor hour, the variable overhead cost will be 67,500 hours x $5/hour = $337,500.
Finally, to calculate the budgeted overhead for November, we'll add the fixed overhead cost of $56,500 per month to the direct labor cost and the variable overhead cost for November. The budgeted overhead for November will be $56,500 + $1,147,500 + $337,500 = $1,541,500.
Choose the multiple choice answers which, when strung together, create an accurate definition of GDP. The U.S. nominal gross domestic product is all final goods all goods and services all final goods and services all intermediate goods and services legally produced by residents of the United States within the territorial boundaries of the United States under the auspices of the U.S. government by entities owned by the citizens of the United States within a given presidential administration business cycle time period year and valued at the benefit the good or service provides to all of society. the price of the item adjusted for inflation. the prices at which the goods or services are sold. values set by the Congressional Budget Office.
Nominal GDP reflects the total market value of all final goods and services produced in a nation in a year, avoiding double counting and measured at market prices. Real GDP is adjusted for inflation to indicate true economic growth.
Explanation:The U.S. nominal gross domestic product (GDP) is the current value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a year. It includes only final goods to avoid the mistake of double counting, where output is counted more than once as it moves through various stages of production. This calculation ensures the value of intermediate goods, like the tires on a truck, are not included separately from the final product, the truck itself. Hence, GDP is measured at the prices at which goods and services are sold, reflecting the market value of all final products and services within an economy. It’s essential to note that when referring to real GDP, the values are adjusted for inflation, providing an accurate picture of economic growth.
1. Working with Numbers and Graphs Q1 The marginal utility for the fourth unit of X is 38 utils, and the marginal utility for the fifth unit of X is 19 utils. Assume that, in this case, utility can only take on whole number, integer, values measured in utils. If the law of diminishing marginal utility holds, the minimum total utility of consuming five units of X is utils.
Answer:
177 utils
Explanation:
Given that,
Marginal utility for the fourth unit of X = 38 utils
Marginal utility for the fifth unit of X = 19 utils
Law of diminishing marginal utility states that as a consumer is consuming more and more units of a commodity, the utility obtained from the additional unit goes on diminishing.
It states that,
Marginal utility of 4th unit is less than the marginal utility of 3rd unit.
Therefore, the minimum marginal utility of 3rd unit will be at least 39 utils,
the minimum marginal utility of 2nd unit will be at least 40 utils,
the minimum marginal utility of 1st unit will be at least 41 utils,
Total utility is the sum of all the marginal utilities.
Minimum total utility of consuming five units of X:
= 1st unit + 2nd unit + 3rd unit + 4th unit + 5th unit
= 41 + 40 + 39 + 38 + 19
= 177 utils
The law of diminishing marginal utility states that satisfaction decreases as more of a good or service is consumed. In this scenario, the minimum total utility of consuming 5 units of X, given the marginal utilities for the fourth and fifth units of 38 and 19 utils respectively, would be 57 utils.
Explanation:The law of diminishing marginal utility signifies that as the consumption of a particular good or service increases, the additional satisfaction received from the next unit decreases. In terms of utils, it means that the difference between total utilities before and after the consumption of new unit lessens. As for your question, if the marginal utility for the fourth unit of X is 38 utils and for the fifth unit is 19 utils, the total utility for the consumption of five units of X would be at least 38 + 19 which equals 57 utils. However, this is a minimum value, the actual total utility of consuming five units of X will be higher because you have not included the utility derived from the first three units of X in your calculations.

Explanation:
discount:
95,000 - 92,947 = 2,053
This amount is distribute equally among all interest paymeny:
2,053 / 10 payment = 205.3
cash outlay + amortization on discount = interest expense
95,000 x 7% x 1/2 + 205.3 = $3,530.3
B)
debit the cash received
we credit the bond payable for their face value
we adjust using premium when lower and premium when higher
C)
we calcualte the premium and divide oer total payment to get the amortization:
280,420 - 270,000 = 10,420 / 10 = 1,042
cash outlay - amortization on premium = interest expense
270,000 x 11% x 1/2 - 1,042 = 13,808

You are the CFO of a US firm whose wholly owned subsidiary in Mexico manufactures component parts for your U.S. assembly operations. The subsidiary has been financed by bank borrowings in the United States. One of your analysts told you that the Mexican peso is expected to depreciate by 30 percent against the dollar on the foreign exchange markets over the next year. What actions, if any, should you take
Answer:
Explanation:
When the Peso depreciates by 30%, the firm can save money on the costs of production as the inputs would be less costly but the market for the firm in Mexico would be affected negatively as the depreciation of the peso would mean that now, the consumer can buy more goods with the same amount of money which will increase the demand. The loans that the subsidiary has taken would also be affected as it has to pay more for the collateral.
If the company reduces the inventory and stock the foreign receivables before the depreciation occurs to minimize the loss. Before the depreciation happens, the firm can convert the pesos denomination to the dollar so that its value doesn't fall.
Analyzing the situation where the Mexican peso is expected to depreciate against the dollar, several actions can be taken such as converting the US dollar loans into peso loans, hedging currency risk through forward contracts, and potential business expansion owing to cheaper foreign investments in Mexico.
Explanation:As the CFO of a firm with a subsidiary in Mexico that is anticipated to face a depreciation of the Mexican peso by 30 percent against the dollar, you might need to consider some strategic moves. Generally, expected depreciation in a currency can lead investors to divest themselves of that currency, leading to an increase in currency supply and a decrease in demand, thus reducing the currency's value.
In this specific case, the expected depreciation of the peso might increase your operational costs since your company would need more pesos to repay its US dollar-based loans. One potentially beneficial action can be, if possible, converting US dollar loans into peso loans before the depreciation occurs. This way, even if the peso depreciates, the subsidiary firm can pay back its loans in weaker pesos.
Another strategy could be to hedge your currency risk. For instance, using forward contracts to lock in today's exchange rate for future transactions, can be particularly helpful if the currency is indeed going to depreciate.
Moreover, as the peso depreciates, foreign investments in Mexico and exports from Mexico would become cheaper for foreign entities, presenting an opportunity to potentially expand your business further in Mexico.

A rain barrel is a container that captures and stores rainwater for landscape and garden use during dry periods. As a result, rain barrels benefit the community through water conservation. If homeowners do not consider this external benefit of rain barrels, then a. the socially optimal quantity of rain barrels will be larger than the equilibrium quantity of rain barrels. b. the socially optimal quantity of rain barrels will be smaller than the equilibrium quantity of rain barrels. c. the socially optimal price of rain barrels will be lower than the equilibrium price of rain barrels. d. the market for rain barrels would benefit from a tax on rain barrels.
Answer:
A. The socially optimal quantity of rain barrels will be larger than the equilibrium quantity of rain barrels.
Explanation:
Rain barrels capture water from a roof and hold it for later use such as on lawns, gardens or indoor plants. Collecting roof runoff in rain barrels reduces the amount of water that flows from your property. It's a great way to conserve water and it's free water for use in your landscape. The rain has it's own benefits which can be seen as follows;
1. Save Money. Reduce your water bill with a rain barrel's water catch. ...
2. Reduce Runoff Pollution & Erosion. Runoff from rains pick up soil, oil, pesticides, fertilizers and push them to other areas. ...
3. Promote Plant & Soil Health. ...
4. Conserve Water. ...
5.Wash Cars & Windows.
The socially optimal quantity of rain barrels is larger than the equilibrium quantity because homeowners often do not consider the external benefits like water conservation and reduced stormwater runoff. This leads to underinvestment in rain barrels. Therefore, the correct answer is option a.
A rain barrel is a system that captures and stores rainwater, offering benefits such as water conservation and reduced stormwater runoff. If homeowners do not account for these external benefits, the market fails to achieve the socially optimal quantity of rain barrels.
The correct answer to this question is: a. the socially optimal quantity of rain barrels will be larger than the equilibrium quantity of rain barrels. This is because the external benefits are not included in the decision-making of individual homeowners, leading to underinvestment in rain barrels from a societal perspective.Examples of these benefits are reduced reliance on municipal water systems and improved watershed habitats due to less stormwater runoff. Thus, without considering these benefits, fewer rain barrels are installed than what is socially optimal.rapper Corporation is comparing two different capital structures, an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, the company would have 200,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 150,000 shares of stock outstanding and $3 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 8 percent, and there are no taxes. a. If EBIT is $675,000, what is the EPS for each plan
Answer:
EPS formula = (net income - preferred stock dividends) / weighted average outstanding stocks
Earnings per share (EPS) for Plan I:
EPS = $675,000 / 200,000 = $3.375 or $3.38 per share
Earnings per share (EPS) for Plan II:
net income = EBIT - interests = $675,000 - $240,000 = $435,000
EPS = $435,000 / 150,000 = $2.90 per share

Answer:
$6,450
Explanation:
The computation of the ending inventory balance using the lower of cost or market rule to each item is shown below:
Items Cost Market value Lower cost Units Cost
per unit per unit per unit
X $4 $3.50 $3.50 300 $1,050
Y $2 $1.50 $1.50 600 $900
Z $3 $4 $3 1,500 $4,500
Total ending inventory balance $6,450
Final answer:
The lower of cost or market rule is used to value inventory at its lower cost or market value. Nelson Corporation would compare the cost and market values of each product to determine the total ending inventory balance.
Explanation:
The lower of cost or market rule is a method used to value inventory. Under this rule, inventory is valued at the lower of its cost or its market value. It ensures that inventory is not overstated on the financial statements.
To calculate the total ending inventory balance, Nelson Corporation would compare the cost and market values of each product and choose the lower value for each item. Then, they would add up the cost values of all the items to determine the total ending inventory balance. The specific amounts for each product have not been provided in the question, so it is not possible to determine the exact total ending inventory balance. Therefore, none of the given answer options can be confirmed as the correct answer.
The Mega Millions claims its grand prize is $500 million, payable over 5 years at $100,000,000 per year. If the first payment is made immediately, what is this grand prize really worth today? Use an interest rate of 4%.
Answer:
The prize is worth $462.9895 million or 462,989,522.4 today.
Explanation:
The equal payments every period over a defined period of 5 years show that this is an annuity. The first payment is received today that is at start so it is an annuity due. We will calculate the present value of this annuity using the formula for Present value of annuity due.
Present value of Annuity due:
Using the formula, the present value is:
Present value = 100m + 100m * [(1 - (1+0.04)^-(5-1)) / 0.04]
Present value = $462.9895 million or 462,989,522.4
MoveIt Corporation is the world’s leading express-distribution company. In addition to its 643 aircraft, the company has more than 57,000 ground vehicles that pick up and deliver packages. Assume that MoveIt sold a delivery truck for $26,000. MoveIt had originally purchased the truck for $43,000 and had recorded depreciation for three years. Prepare the journal entry to record the disposal of the truck, assuming that Accumulated Depreciation was (a) $17,000, (b) $12,000, and (c) $19,000. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)
Answer:
1. No loss or No Gain
2. Loss = $5,000
3. Gain = $2,000
Explanation:
Requirement 1
If the accumulated depreciation of the machine was $17,000, the journal entry to record the transaction of disposal of machine will be as follows:
December 31 Cash Debit $26,000
Accumulated depreciation Debit $17,000
Machine Credit $43,000
Calculation:
Book value of the machine = Purchase price - Accumulated depreciation = $(43,000 - 17,000) = $26,000
We know, Gain (Loss) on sale of machine = Book value of the machine - Sale price = $(26,000 - 26,000) = $0. As the book value and the disposal value are same, there is no loss and no gain.
Requirement 2
If the accumulated depreciation of the machine was $12,000, the journal entry to record the transaction of disposal of machine will be as follows:
December 31 Cash Debit $26,000
Accumulated depreciation Debit $12,000
Loss on sale of equipment Debit $5,000
Machine Credit $43,000
Calculation:
Book value of the machine = Purchase price - Accumulated depreciation = $(43,000 - 12,000) = $31,000
We know, Loss on sale of machine = Sale price - Book value of the machine = $(31,000 - 26,000) = $5,000. Loss is a debit as it shows as the expense.
Requirement 3
If the accumulated depreciation of the machine was $19,000, the journal entry to record the transaction of disposal of machine will be as follows:
December 31 Cash Debit $26,000
Accumulated depreciation Debit $19,000
Gain on sale of machine Credit $2,000
Machine Credit $43,000
Calculation:
Book value of the machine = Purchase price - Accumulated depreciation = $(43,000 - 19,000) = $24,000
We know, Gain on sale of machine = Sale price - Book value of the machine = $(26,000 - 24,000) = $2,000. Gain is a credit as it shows as the income.
Because the book value and the disposal value are same, there is no loss and no gain.
As the Loss is a debit as it shows as the expense, its equals the sum of $5,000.
As the Gain is a credit, its equals the sum of $2,000
Requirement 1If the accumulated depreciation of the machine was $17,000,
Book value of the machine = Purchase price - Accumulated depreciation
Book value of the machine = $(43,000 - 17,000)
Book value of the machine = $26,000
Journal entry to record the transaction of disposal of machine will be as follows:
Date Account titles Debit Credit
December 31 Cash $26,000

Requirement 2If the accumulated depreciation of the machine was $12,000,
Book value of the machine = Purchase price - Accumulated depreciation
Book value of the machine = $(43,000 - 12,000)
Book value of the machine = $31,000
Loss on sale of machine = Sale price - Book value of the machine
Loss on sale of machine = $(31,000 - 26,000)
Loss on sale of machine = $5,000.

Tyrell Co. makes purchasing and borrowing transactions that create short-term liabilities. These liabilities, like the loan from Singleton Bank to Hank's Auto Supply, need to be paid back with interest.
Explanation:The question pertains to the accounting process of Tyrell Co.'s short-term liabilities. In the first instance, Tyrell Co. buys $38,000 worth of merchandise from another company, Locust, creating a short-term liability, as it's on credit terms n/30, meaning the amount is due within 30 days.
Later, the company replaced the account payable with a 90-day, 8%, $35000 note payable and paid $3000 in cash. This means the liability has been transformed from an account payable to a note payable
In the subsequent transaction, the company borrows $60,000 cash from NBR Bank by signing a 120-day, 11%, $60,000 note payable. This is another short-term liability as the loan has a maturity of less than one year. The interest rate represents the cost of borrowing.
In this situation, these transactions are similar to the one where Singleton Bank lends $9 million to Hank's Auto Supply. The loans in both the scenarios need to be paid back with interest, thereby, creating short-term liabilities on the balance sheets of Tyrell Co. and Hank's Auto Supply.

Gothic Architecture is a new chain of clothing stores specializing in the color black. Gothic issues 1,000 shares of its $1 par value common stock at $10 per share. Record the issuance of the stock. How would the entry differ if Gothic issued no-par value stock? (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
Answer:
There will be a $10,000.00 capital account Journal entry and a subsequent credit of common stock journal entry about the no par value.
Explanation:
Funds from the sale of par value stock are divided between the common stock account and the paid-in capital account. For example Gothic Architecture issued a 1,000 shares of $1 par value at $10 par share means that it offered the stock for $1 par share but with the market price of $10 which depicts $10,000.00 will be realised as equity from the sales of the shares.
The only financial effect of a no par value issuance is that any equity funding generated by the sale of no par value stock is credited to the common stock account.
There is a journal entry required for the transactions because the aforementioned entry notwithstanding, there should also be a corresponding Asset entry on the Balance Sheet of Gothic Architecture for both transactions.
After the amount due on a sale of $22,600, terms 1/10, n/eom, is received from a customer within the discount period, the seller consents to the return of the entire shipment for a cash refund. The cost of the merchandise returned is $13,560. a. What is the amount of the refund owed to the customer?
Answer: $22,374
Explanation:
With terms of of 1/10 n (unclear), it means that the customer paid their dues within 10 days and were liable for a sales discount of 1%.
The amount of refund that the customer should get is therefore what they paid which is 1% less than the full amount.
Calculating for that then will be,
= Amount due *(1-discount rate)
= 22,600 * (1 - 0.01)
= $22,374
$22,374 is the amount due for refund.
On June 30, 2018, Adams Company’s total current assets were $504,500 and its total current liabilities were $278,000. On July 1, 2018, Adams issued a short-term note to a bank for $40,200 cash. Required Compute Adams’s working capital before and after issuing the note. Compute Adams’s current ratio before and after issuing the note. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Old Current Ratio = 1.815
New Current Ratio = 1.712
Explanation:
Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
Given : Current Assets = 504500 , Current Liabilities = 278000
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
= 504500 / 278000 = 1.815
Issue of short term note (current liability) to bank for 40200 cash (current asset) leads to following change in working capital :-Current Assets = 504500 + 40200 = 544700
Current Liabilities = 278000 + 40200 = 318200
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
= 544700 / 318200 = 1.712

Direct materials $19
Direct labor $61
Variable manufacturing overhead $7
Fixed manufacturing overhead $15
($135,000/9,000)
Total Product cost $102
Now We will calculate the Net Income
Sales (8,600 x $116) $997,600
Less: Cost of goods sold (8,600 x $102) $877,200
Gross Profit $120,400
Less:

Net Income $12,500
Palmer Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annual increase in net income after tax of $175,000. The equipment will have an initial cost of $500,000 and have a 7 year life. If the salvage value of the equipment is estimated to be $10,000, what is the accounting rate of return?
Answer:
35%
Explanation:
Accounting rate of return =Average annual net income*100/Average investment
Average investment = (500000+10000/2) = 255000
Accounting rate of return = 175000*100/255000 = 68.63%
Accounting rate of return = 175000*100/500000 = 35%

Answer:
a) The cost of aluminum used for its automobiles (variable costs - because there is a specific unit and quality of aluminium used per car)
b) The property taxes on its Bowling Green, Kentucky assembly plant (Fixed costs - the business is expected to pay irrespective of sales)
c) The cost of labor for its assembly line workers. (Variable costs - because it can be pre-planned at a certain labor costs per labour hour)
d) The yearly payments for naming rights for the General Motors Centre sports arena in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. (Fixed costs - the business is expected to pay irrespective of sales)
(E) The salary paid to Mary Barra, the Chief Executive Officer of General Motors(Fixed costs - the business is expected to pay irrespective of sales)
f) The cost of tires it purchases from Goodyear for its trucks and SUVs (variable costs - it can be easily varied by unit of car)
The selling price is $50 per unit, and variable costs amount to $20 per unit. Sultan's fixed costs per month total of $80,000. How many units must be sold each month to earn a monthly operating income of $25,000?
Answer:
3,500 units
Explanation:
The computation of the break even units to attain monthly operating income is shown below:
= (Fixed expenses + target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)
where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit
= $50 - $20
= $30
And, the other items values would remain the same
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= ($80,000 + $25,000) ÷ ($30)
= ($105,000 ÷ ($30)
= 3,500 units
On January 1, 20X8, William Company acquired 30 percent of eGate Company's common stock, at underlying book value of $100,000. eGate has 100,000 shares of $2 par value, 5 percent cumulative preferred stock outstanding. No dividends are in arrears. eGate reported net income of $150,000 for 20X8 and paid total dividends of $72,000. William uses the equity method to account for this investment. Based on the preceding information, what amount of investment income will William Company report from its investment in eGate for the year?$45,000$42,000$62,000$35,000
Answer:
The answer is $42,000
Explanation:
William Company's Investment will be 30 percent of eGate shares.
William company holds a non-controlling interest in eGates since the percentage holding is less than 50 percent
Share of net income is $45,000(30 percent of $150,000)
Preferred stock is 5 percent on 100,000 shares at $2 par value is $10,000
William company share out of the $10,000 is $3,000(30 percent of $10,000)
Therefore its total Investment in eGate is $42,000($45,000 - $3,000)
William Company will report $45,000 as the investment income from its 30% investment in eGate Company for the year 20X8. This is calculated by taking 30% of eGate's net income ($150,000), since there were no dividends paid to common shareholders.
William Company needs to determine the amount of investment income from its 30% stake in eGate Company. To calculate this, we first exclude preferred dividends from eGate's total dividends, since William only participates in common dividends as a common stock investor. eGate has 100,000 preferred shares with a 5% cumulative dividend on a $2 par value, which equals $100,000 total preferred dividends ($2 x 5% x 100,000). The common dividends paid are therefore $72,000 minus $100,000, which leads to negative dividends for common shareholders (showing that common dividends were not paid).
Since there were no dividends distributed to common shareholders, the equity method dictates that William's share in net income directly influences the investment income. William's share is 30% of eGate's $150,000 net income, which is $45,000 ($150,000 x 30%). So, the investment income reported by William Company from its investment in eGate for 20X8 is $45,000.
Camping Supply Company has developed a new camping lamp that runs on solar power. The solar cells charge in the sun all day and then the lamp is ready to run when the sun goes down. The company has a standard costing system to help control costs and has established the following standards related to the new camping lamp:
Direct materials: 3 small solar cells per lamp at $0.60 per cell
Direct labour: 0.75 hours per lamp at $12 per hour
During March, the company produced 4,000 camping lights. Production data for March are as follows:
Direct materials: 20,000 small solar cells were purchased at a cost of $0.65 per cell; 6,000 of these were still in inventory at the end of the month (there was no opening inventory).
Direct labour: 3,100 direct labour-hours were worked at a cost of $35,000.
Required:
1. Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances for March. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
2. Compute the direct labour rate and efficiency variances for March.(Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
Answer:
1. $1,000 Unfavorable
2. $1,200 Unfavorable
3. $2,200 Favorable
4. $1,200 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Actual Quantity purchased = 20,000
Actual price per cell = $0.65
Standard Price per cell = $0.60
Direct Materials Price Variance = Actual Quantity Purchased × (Actual Price - Standard Price)
= 20,000 × ($0.65 - $0.60)
= $1,000 Unfavorable
Standard Price per cell = $0.60
Actual Quantity used = Actual quantity purchased - Ending inventory
= 20,000 - 6,000
= 14,000
Standard Quantity = 3 × 4,000
= 12,000
Direct Materials Quantity Variance = Standard Price × (Actual Quantity Used - Standard Quantity)
= $0.60 × (14,000 - 12,000)
= $1,200 Unfavorable
2. Actual hours = 3,100
Actual Direct labor cost = $35,000
Standard Rate = $12 per hour
Direct Labor Rate Variance = Actual Direct labor cost - Actual Hours × Standard Rate
Direct Labor Rate Variance
= $35,000 - 3,100 × $12
= $2,200 Favorable
Standard Rate = $12.00 per hour
Standard hours = 0.75 × 4,000
= 3,000
Actual hours = 3,100
Direct Labor Efficiency Variance = Standard Rate × (Actual hours - Standard hours)
= $12.00 × (3,100 - 3,000)
= $1,200 Unfavorable
Variance analysis is the measurement tool that determines the gap between the actual and the budgeted or the standard figures determined by the management as per the past records.
