Labor: 2,500 hours worked at a total cost of $8,000. Calculate the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance, respectively. Rate Variance Efficiency Variance

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Labor rate variance =  - $1,125  (adverse )

b.  Labor efficiency variance = - $1,375 (adverse)

Explanation:

a.  Labor rate variance

Actual labor rate = $8,000 / 2,500 = $3.20 per hour

Labor rate variance = Actual hours * (Standard rate - Actual rate)  = 2,500 * ($2.75 - $3.20)  = - $1,125  adverse

b.  Labor efficiency variance

Standard labor hours = Actual units * Standard hour per unit = 1,000 * 2 = 2,000 hours

Labor efficiency variance =  (Standard labor hours - Actual labor hours) * Standard rate = (2,000 - 2,500) * $2.75 = - $1,375 (adverse)

Answer 2

The labor rate variance for Alpha Company is $1,125 (Unfavorable), and the labor efficiency variance is $1,375 (Unfavorable).

First, we calculate the Labor Rate Variance (LRV) using the formula:

LRV = (Actual Hourly Wage - Standard Hourly Wage) × Actual Hours Worked

Given:

Actual Hourly Wage = Total Labor Cost / Actual Hours Worked = $8,000 / 2,500 = $3.20 per hourStandard Hourly Wage = $2.75 per hourActual Hours Worked = 2,500 hours

So:

LRV = ($3.20 - $2.75) × 2,500 = $0.45 × 2,500 = $1,125 (Unfavorable)

Next, we calculate the Labor Efficiency Variance (LEV) using the formula:

LEV = (Actual Hours Worked - Standard Hours Allowed) × Standard Hourly Wage

Given:

Standard Hours Allowed = Standard Hours Per Unit × Actual Units Produced = 2 hours/unit × 1,000 units = 2,000 hoursActual Hours Worked = 2,500 hoursStandard Hourly Wage = $2.75 per hour

So:

LEV = (2,500 - 2,000) × $2.75 = 500 × $2.75 = $1,375 (Unfavorable)

To sum up:

Rate Variance: $1,125 (Unfavorable)Efficiency Variance: $1,375 (Unfavorable)

Richards Corporation uses the FIFO method of process costing. The following information is available for October in its Fabricating Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 80,000 units, 60% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 250,000. Units completed and transferred out: 330,000. Ending Inventory: 30,000 units, 40% complete as to materials and 10% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $37,200. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $79,700. Costs incurred in October - Direct Materials: $646,800. Costs incurred in October - Conversion: $919,300. Calculate the equivalent units of conversion.

Answers

Answer:

Equivalent units of conversion cost = 317,000 units

Explanation:

The equivalent unit is the notional whole units which represent incomplete work and is used to apportion cost between cost between work in progress and completed units

Item                units                                                  Equivalent units

Opening WIP   80,000      (80,000× 80%)   =      64,000

Fully worked   250,000     (250,000× 100)  =      250,000

Closing WIP     30,000      (30,000× 10%)    =        3,000

Total equivalent units                                               317,000.

1. DOC for opening inventory is 80%, that is 100%-20%. Remember that 20% work has been done in the previous period, so the balance is to be done in this current period

2. Fully work represent the units of inventory introduced in the current period and completed in the same period. Meaning 100% work was achieved in October .

3. Closing work is only 10% completed. This represent work started this period but not yet completed.

There are many buyers who value​ high-quality used cars at the​ full-information market price of p1 and lemons at p2. There are a limited number of potential sellers who value​ high-quality cars at v1 less than or equals p1 and lemons at v2 less than or equals p2. Everyone is risk neutral. The share of lemons among all the used cars that might potentially be sold is theta. Assume Upper P 1 greater than Upper P 2 comma v 1 greater than v 2​, and there are no transaction costs. Under what conditions are all cars​ sold?

Answers

Answer:

Cars would be sold when P2 > V1,

Explanation:

Given Data

Cars = P1

Lemons = P2

Sellers who value high quality cars = V1 ≤

P1

Sellers who value high quality lemons = V2 ≤ P2

Share of lemons among used cars that might be sold = θ

EP = P1 ( θ ) + P2 ( θ ) > V1 > V2

Under which conditions are cars sold

1. Cars would be sold when P2 > V1,

2. Only lemons would be sold when P1 < V1

3. No cars would be sold if P2 is < V1

Final answer:

All cars in a used car market can be sold when there is alignment between the buyers' perceived quality (based on market price) and the sellers' valuations of their cars. This hints on clear information about the quality and proportion of lemons in the market, allowing for an informed and confident buying decision. Seller reputation, warranties, and certifications can also help to bridge the gap of imperfect information and allow all cars to be sold.

Explanation:

The condition under which all cars would be sold in a market where buyers base their assessment on market price, and where imperfect information about the quality of goods exists, revolves around the notion of adverse selection. For all cars to sell, both high-quality used cars (not lemons) and lemons must align with buyers' valuation such that the asking price matches the perceived quality. This assumes that the full-information market prices p1 (for high-quality cars) and p2 (for lemons) are equal to or greater than the valuations v1 and v2 set by sellers, respectively. The market must reach a point where buyers trust that the price reflects the quality, ensuring that cars valued at p1 are indeed high-quality and not lemons, and that cars priced at p2 provide value consistent with their lower quality.

In essence, an equilibrium is reached when the proportion of high-quality cars and lemons, represented by theta, is well-known to buyers and sellers, enabling them to adjust their expectations and price settings accordingly. This creates a transparent market where purchasers can make informed decisions, eliminating fears of inadvertently purchasing a lemon. Without assurance about car quality, mechanisms such as warranties, certifications, or well-established seller reputations might be needed to provide the buyer with sufficient confidence to proceed with a purchase despite the risk associated with imperfect information.

Answer:

Unitary product cost= $33

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials $ 11 per unit

Direct labor $ 16 per unit

Overhead costs for the year

Variable overhead $ 2 per unit

Fixed overhead $ 100,000 per year

Units produced this year 25,000 units

Under the absorption costing cost method, the unitary product cost is calculated using the direct material, direct labor, and total unitary overhead.

First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed overhead:

Unitary fixed overhead= 100,000/25,000= $4

Unitary product cost= 11 + 16 + (2 + 4)= $33

Answer:

Explanation:

The computation of simple rate of return on the new machine is shown below:-

For computing thee simple rate of return first we need to find out the annual accounting return and investment which is here below:-

Annual accounting return = Savings - Cost - Depreciation

= $95,000 -$ 54,000 - (320,000 ÷ 16)

= 95,000 - 54,000 - 20,000

= $21,000

Investment = 320,000 - 32,000

= 288,000

Simple rate of return = Annual accounting return ÷ Investment

= $21,000 ÷ $288,000

= 7.29%

a. in front of process A

b. in front of process B

c. in front of process C

d. Inventory should not exist anywhere.

Answers

Answer:

Right option is C.

Explanation:

The operation manager will put the inventory in front of the process C. So, the right option is C.

As we have given the outputs of these processes:

Process A = 25 units/hr

Process B = 30 units/hr

Process C = 20 units/hr      Lowest output among all processes.

As, we can see that the process C has the lowest output of all which is 20 units per hour. It clearly means that operation manager will utilize the low output of process C and put the inventory infront of process C in order to increase the output of the overall process.

has a target capital structure of 50% debt and 50% common equity. Davola funds debt by issuing 20-year, 8.6% semi-annual coupon bonds that currently sell for $900. Davola Inc. expects to pay a $1.75 dividend at the end of this year, its expected constant growth rate is 5%, and its common stock sells for $25. Their tax rate is 25%. 1. What is Davola’s component cost of debt? 2. What is Davola’s component cost of equity? 3. What Davoloa’s WACC?

Answers

Answer:

Cost of debt after tax is 7.3%

cost of equity is 12.35%

WACC is 9.83%

Explanation:

The cost of debt can be computed using the rate formula in excel.

The rate formula=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

the nper is the number of coupon payments the bond would make over its entire bond life i.e 20 years*2=40

pmt is the semiannual coupon=$1000*8.6%/2=$43

pv is the current price of $900

fv is the face value of $1000

=rate(40,43,-900,1000)=4.87%

yield =4.87%*2=9.74%

after tax cost=9.74%*(1-tax rate)=9.74%*(1-0.25%)=7.3%

The cost of equity:

share price=D*(1+g)/r-g

D is the dividend expected

g is the dividend growth rate

r is the cost of equity

r=(D*(1+g)/share price)+g

r=($1.75*(1+5%)/$25)+5%=12.35%

WACC=Ke*E/V+Kd*D/V

Ke is the cost of equity of 12.35%

E is 50% or 0.5

D is 50% or 0.5

V=0.5+0.5=1

Kd(after tax) =7.3%

WACC=(12.35%*0.5/1)+(7.3%*0.5/1)=9.83%

Answers

Answer:

The WACC is 6.75%

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital, also called WACC, is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure is made up of debt, preferred stock and common stock.

The formula for WACC is,

WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

w represents the weight of each component in the capital structure or value of each component as a proportion of total assetsr represents the cost of each componentwe take after tax cost of debt. So we multiply cost of debt by (1 - tax rate)

The WACC is:

WACC = 0.75 * 0.08 * (1 - 0.35)  +  0.05 * 0.09  +  0.20 * 0.12

WACC = 0.0675 or 6.75%

Explain why each of the following statements is a rationale for conducting active or passive policy: Economic circumstances can change dramatically between the time that an economic downturn begins and the time when policy actions have an effect on the economy. Economists are not very accurate forecasters. Increases in government spending generate increases in economic output. Fluctuations in economic output have been less severe since World War II.

Answers

Answer:

The rationale for conducting active policy is the interest of Congress to alter the state of the economy through a deliberate change in established policies.

But in the case of Passive policy, the government permits the status quo.

Active policy relies on the government to enforce it while passive policy does not need the government's interference to work in stabilizing the economy.

Explanation:

The following statements applies passive policy because the economy is expected to stabilize on it's own without the deliberate act of congress influencing it:

Economic circumstances can change dramatically between the time that an economic downturn begins and the time when policy actions have an effect on the economy. Fluctuations in economic output have been less severe since World War II.

The following statements is a rationale for conducting active policy since the government's intervention is required:

Economists are not very accurate forecasters.Increases in government spending generate increases in economic output.

Consider two products, X and Y, that have identical cost, retail price, and demand parameters and the same short selling season (the summer months from May through August). The newsvendor model is used to manage inventory for both products. Product X is to be discontinued at the end of the season this year and the leftover inventory will be salvaged at 75 percent of the cost. Product Y will be reoffered next summer, so any leftovers this year can be carried over to the next year while incurring a holding cost on each unit left over equal to 20 percent of the product's cost. The quantity of each product is selected to maximize expected profit. How do those quantities compare?

Answers

Answer: b. stocking quantity of product B is higher.

Explanation:

We are using the Newsvendor model and are told that the products have identical cost, retail price, and demand parameters and the same short selling season.

Using this model, it is important to understand 2 terminologies for this question, Overage cost and Underage costs.

Overage Costs is the cost of unused inventor and is calculated by subtracting Salvage Value from the cost price.

Underage costs are costs arising from unmet Demand. In this scenario they are the same because both products share the same demand.

The Overage costs for the products are,

Overage cost for Product X =100-75

=25%

Overage cost for Product Y = 20%

When deciding which product to stick more of we look at the one with the higher CRITICAL RATIO.

The formula of which is,

= Cu/(Cu+Co)

Where,

Cu is the Underage cost,

Co is the Overage cost

As earlier mentioned, both have the same Underage cost meaning that B will give a higher CRITICAL ratio as it's Co is smaller.

Product B should therefore be stocked more than Product A.

Answer:

Stocking quantity of product B is higher

Explanation:

Overage cost for Product A(Co)=100-75=25%

Overage cost for Product B (Co)=20%

The underage cost (Cu) for both the products is same hence critical ratio i.e, Cu/(Cu+Co) is lower for product A than Product B which means product B should will be stocked more compare to product A

So the correct answer will be stocking quantity of product B is higher

b. $41,000
c. $81,000
d. $66,000

Answers

Answer:

a. $73,000

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

                      Desert company income statement

Particular                                                          Amount ($)

Total Revenue (sales revenue +  interest revenue) 287,000

Total expenses excluding loss from discontinuing operation

($246,000 - 32,000)                                                  -214,000

Income from continuing operations before income tax 73,000

Working notes:

Total Revenue =Sales Revenue + Interest Revenue

= $280,000 + $7,000

= $287,000

Total Expenses = Cost of Goods Sold + Administrative Expenses + Loss on Disposal of Equipment + Sales Commission Expense + Loss From Discontinued Operations + Bad-Debt Expense

= $170,000 + $20,000 + $8,000 + $12,000 + $32,000 + $4,000

Which of the following statements about GDP is correct? a. GDP measures two things at once: the total income of everyone in the economy and the total expenditure on the economy’s output of goods and services. b. Money continuously flows from households to firms and then back to households, and GDP measures this flow of money. c. GDP is generally regarded as the best single measure of a society’s economic well-being. d. All of the above are correct.

Answers

Answer:

d. All of the above are correct.

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.

GDP can be calculated using the expenditure or income approach.

Using the expenditure approach, GDP = Consumption spending + Investment spending + Government Spending + Net Export

GDP calculated using either the income and expenditure approach always arrives at the same figure.

Real GDP per capita is used to measure the level of wellbeing in the society.

b) When the application money is received, the Cash Account is debited with the amount received and a credit to the Stock Application Account to close the account.  If oversubscription is involved the difference is transferred to the allotment account for part settlement of allotment money.

c) The forfeiture of shares means that the potential shareholders failed to pay up the balance due on their allotted shares.  The shareholders therefore lose the balance they have already contributed.
