During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: Twenty thousand pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.35 per pound. All of the material purchased was used to produce 4,000 units of Zoom. 750 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $14,925. Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The following can be derived from the question:
Actual quantity = 20,000 pounds
Actual price = $2.35
Standard price = $2.50 per unit
Actual hours = 750 hours.
The standard quantity will be calculated as:
= 4,000 units × 4.6
= 18,400 pounds
The Actual rate will be calculated as:
= Total labor cost / Actual hours
= $14,925 / 750
= $19.90
Standard hours will be:
= 0.2 hours × 4,000 units
= 800 hours.
Standard rate = $18 per hour
1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month.
Material price variance:
= (AQ × AP) - (AQ × SP)
= (20,000 × $2.35) - (20,000 × $2.50)
= 47000 - 50000
= -3000
Material quantity variance:
= (AQ × SP) - (SQ × SP)
= (20,000 × $2.50) - (18,400 × $2.50)
= 50,000 - 46000
= 4000
2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month.
Labor rate variance:
= (AH × AR) - (AH × SR)
= ($750 × $19.90) - (750 × $18)
= 14925 - 13500
= 1425
Labor efficiency variance:
= (AH × SR) - (SH × SR)
= (750 × $18) - (800 × $18)
= 13500 - 14400
= 900
QS 23-11 Selection of sales mix LO P3 Excel Memory Company can sell all units of computer memory X and Y that it can produce, but it has limited production capacity. It can produce two units of X per hour or three units of Y per hour, and it has 4,700 production hours available. Contribution margin is $6 for product X and $5 for product Y. 1. Calculate contribution margin per production hour. 2. What is the most profitable sales mix for this Company
Answer:
Contribution margin per production hour
Product X = $12
Product Y = $15
Explanation:
Part 1
Contribution margin per production hour
Contribution margin per production hour = Contribution ÷ Time to produce one product
Therefore,
Product X = $6 ÷ 0.5
= $12
Product Y = $5 ÷ 0.33
= $15
Part 2
The Demand Units of Product X and Product Y are missing so the calculation of profitable sales mix is impossible.
This mix would have been calculated by :
Manufacturing all the units of Product Y since Y has the highest contribution margin per production hour (demand for Y × hours required per unit)With the remainder of hours out of 4,700 after producing all of Product Y demand, we would then produce Product X.
garcia company has 11,600 units of its product that were produced last year at a total cost of $174,000. the units were damaged in a rainstorm because the warehouse where they were stored developed a leak in the roof. garcia can sell the units as is for $2 each or it can repair the units at a total cost of $19,600 and then sell them for $5 each. calculate the incremental net income if the units are repaired
Answer:
If the company repairs the units, income will increase by $15,200.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units= 11,600
Garcia can sell the units as is for $2 each or, it can repair the units at a total cost of $19,600 and then sell them for $5 each.
We will not take into account the original cost of production because they remain constant in both options.
Sell as-is:
Effect on income= 11,600*2= $23,200
Repair:
Effect on income= 11,600*5 - 19,600= $38,400
If the company repairs the units, income will increase by $15,200.
Rachel's Designs has 1,900 shares of 6%, $50 par value cumulative preferred stock issued at the beginning of 2019. All remaining shares are common stock. Due to cash flow difficulties, the company was not able to pay dividends in 2019 or 2020. The company plans to pay total dividends of $19,000 in 2021. How much of the $19,000 dividend will be paid to preferred stockholders and how much will be paid to common stockholders
Answer:
Preferred Dividend = $17,100Common Dividend = $1,900Explanation:
Cumulative preferred stockholders will always have their dividends paid to them eventually because the dividends will accrue for years where they went unpaid.
This means that in 2021 they will be paid their dividends for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021.
Yearly preferred dividend = 1,900 * 6% * 50
= $5,700
Preferred dividends in 2021 = 5,700 * 3
= $17,100
Common stockholders would get = 19,000 - 17,100
= $1,900
Which factor would influence the premiums of health insurance?

The following are budgeted data: January February March Sales in units 16,000 22,000 19,000 Production in units 19,000 20,000 18,500 One pound of material is required for each finished unit. The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 25% of the following month's production needs. Purchases of raw materials for February would be budgeted to be: Multiple Choice 20,375 pounds 18,375 pounds 19,625 pounds 20,125 pounds
Answer:
Purchases= 19,625 pounds
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production in units:
February= 20,000
March= 18,500
The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 25% of the following month's production needs.
To calculate the purchases of raw materials, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 20,000 + (18,500*0.25) - (20,000*0.25)
Purchases= 19,625 pounds

What was ending inventory using the LIFO cost flow assumption under a periodic inventory system?
a. $880,000.
b. $640,000
c. $770,000.
d. $840,000
Answer:
b. $640,000
Explanation:
The computation of the ending inventory using the periodic inventory system is as follows:
But before that the ending inventory units is
= Beginning inventory units + purchased units - sold units
= 400 + 800 + 1,200 + 800 - 3,000
= 200 units
Now the ending inventory is
= 200 units × $3,200
= $640,000
hence, the ending inventory using the periodic inventory system is $640,000
Therefore the correct option is B
Rock Bottom Gold Company recently repurchased 7 million shares of its common stock for $47 per share. The intent of the repurchase was to increase earnings per share to be more in line with competitors. Required: 1. Determine the impact of the stock repurchase on assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity. (Enter your answers in whole dollars not in millions (i.e., 1,000,000 not 1.0). Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
The impact includes Assets = -$32,90,00,000, Liabilities = No Effect and Stockholder's Equity = -$32,90,00,000.
If the stock is repurchased, the cash will be paid. Thus, the assets would be decreased.
Also for the stock repurchase, the stockholder's equity will be decreased consequently.
Assets = Cash (7,000,000*$47)
Assets = -$329,000,000
Thus, the assets will decrease by $329,000,000.
Liabilities = No Effect
Thus, the liabilities will have no impact for the transaction.
Stockholder's Equity = -$329,000,000
Thus, the stockholder's equity will be decreased by $329,000,000.

The following is a TRUE statement about inventory within a continuous review system: A. When holding costs increase, Economic Order Quantity decreases B. When service level decreases, Economic Order Quantity decreases C. When demand increases, Economic Order Quantity decreases D. When ordering or setup costs increase, Economic Order Quantity decreases E. When holding costs decrease, Economic Order Quantity decreases
Answer:
A. When holding costs increase, Economic Order Quantity decreases
Explanation:
The answer will be attain through the following illustration
Suppose, Demand = 1000 units, Ordering cost = $10, Holding cost = $0.50
Economic Order Quantity = √2 * 1000 Units * $10 / $0.50
Economic Order Quantity = √40000
Economic Order Quantity= 200 units
Assume, there is increase of holding cost to $1.50
Economic Order Quantity = √2 * 1000 Units * $10 / $1.50
Economic Order Quantity = √13333
Economic Order Quantity = 116 unit
Therefore, when holding costs increase, Economic Order Quantity decreases.
Inventory is termed as the stock of the goods and services available for the consumption of the consumers or the customers. It is referred as the management of the goods and services as per the demand of the customers in the market.
The true statement about inventory within a continuous review system is A. When holding costs increase, Economic Order Quantity decreases.
This can be illustrated with the specific example as below:
Let, Demand = 1000 units, Ordering cost = $10, Holding cost = $0.50
Economic Order Quantity = [tex]\sqrt{2} \times 1000 \:Units \times\frac{\$10 }{\$0.50}[/tex]
Economic Order Quantity = √40000
Economic Order Quantity= 200 units
Assume that there has been an increase in holding cost to $1.50
Economic Order Quantity = [tex]\sqrt[]{2} \times 1000 \:Units \times\frac{ \$10}{ \$1.50}[/tex]
Economic Order Quantity = √13333

Billie Bob purchased a used camera (five-year property) for use in his sole proprietorship in the prior year. The basis of the camera was $2,400. Billie Bob used the camera in his business 60 percent of the time during the first year. During the second year, Billie Bob used the camera 40 percent for business use. Calculate Billie Bob's depreciation deduction during the second year, assuming the sole proprietorship had a loss during the year.
Answer:
Billie Bob
Depreciation deduction during the second year is:
$192.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Property basis value = $2,400
Useful life = 5 years
Depreciable rate per year = $2,400/5 = $480
Depreciation deduction during the second year = $480 * 40% = $192
b) The depreciation deduction for year 2 is limited to the 40% business use. This implies that Billie Bob cannot claim the 100% depreciation of $480 for the property since he could only use it 40% for his business.
