Rate variance $
Time variance $
Total direct labor cost variance $
b. The employees may have been less-experienced workers who were paid less than more-experienced workers or poorly trained, thereby resulting in a labor rate than planned. The lower level of experience or training may have resulted in efficient performance. Thus, the actual time required was than standard.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The Direct labor rate variance will be:

= 4220 × (44.5 - 46)

= 4220 × -1.5

= -6330 Favorable

The direct labor time variance will be:

= 46 × (4220-4160)

= 46 × 60

= 2760 Unfavorable

Total direct labor cost variance will be:

= (4220 × 44.5) - (4160 × 46)

= 187790 - 191360

= -3570 Favorable

b. The employees may have been less-experienced workers who were paid less than more-experienced workers or poorly trained, thereby resulting in a (lower) labor rate than planned.

The lower level of experience or training may have resulted in (less) efficient performance. Thus, the actual time required was (more) than standard.

the total surface area of hemisphere is 4158sq then what is the circumference of the base

Answers

Answer:

C = 132 units

Explanation:

Given the following data;

TSA of hemisphere = 4158 sq units

To find the circumference of the base;

Mathematically, the total surface area of a hemisphere is given by the formula;

TSA of hemisphere = 3πr²

First of all, we would determine the radius of the hemisphere.

4158 = 3 * 22/7 * r²

Cross-multiplying, we have;

4158 * 7 = 3 * 22 * r²

29106 = 66r²

r² = 29106/66

r² = 441

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

r = √441

r = 21 units

Next, we determine the circumference of the base using the same radius;

Circumference of circle, C = 2πr

C = 2 * 22/7 * 21

C = 924/7

C = 132 units

James is the new manager of operations at Springfield Motors. To his dismay, he finds the employees coming in late to work, taking long breaks, and behaving unprofessionally at their workstations. James decides to promote desirable work practices. He plans to introduce incentives for meeting the required targets but, at the same time, to withhold those incentives when employees are late, take long breaks, or behave unprofessionally. Identify the contingencies that James is planning to implement.

Answers

Answer: b. Positive reinforcement and punishment

Explanation:

Positive reinforcement is a way of encouraging certain behavior by adding something pleasant when the subject does something that it desirable or a stimulus. James giving the employees some incentives (something pleasant) when they meet required targets (something desirable) is therefore positive reinforcement.

Punishment on the other hand, refers to taking away something pleasant in response to the subject doing something that isn't very desirable. In this scenario, James would take away the incentives (pleasant) in response to the employees behaving unprofessionally (isn't very desirable).

Using the estimated sales and production of 140,000 boxes of Chap-Off, the Accounting Department has developed the following manufacturing cost per box: Direct material $ 3.70 Direct labor 2.00 Manufacturing overhead 1.60 Total cost $ 7.30 The costs above relate to making both the lip balm and the tube that contains it. As an alternative to making the tubes for Chap-Off, Silven has approached a supplier to discuss the possibility of buying the tubes. The purchase price of the supplier's empty tubes would be $1.20 per box of 24 tubes. If Silven Industries stops making the tubes and buys them from the outside supplier, its direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead costs per box of Chap-Off would be reduced by 10% and its direct materials costs would be reduced by 20%. Required: 1. If Silven buys its tubes from the outside supplier, how much of its own Chap-Off manufacturing costs per box will it be able to avoid

Answers

Answer:

Silven Industries

If Silven buys its tubes from the outside supplier, it will be able to avoid $1.10 of its own Chap-Off manufacturing costs per box

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated Production and Sales Units of Chap-Off = 140,000 boxes

Manufacturing cost per box:      Avoidable costs

Direct material              $ 3.70           $0.74 ($3.70 * 20%)

Direct labor                      2.00             0.20 ($2.00 * 10%)

Manufacturing overhead 1.60              0.16 ($1.60 * 10%)

Total cost                      $ 7.30            $1.10

Outside supplier's price for tubes = $1.20 per box

b) Unless there an alternative use for the machine used in making the tubes internally exists, it may not be cost-effective for Silven to buy from the outside supplier.  Alternatively, it should renegotiate a price per box that is less than $1.10 in order to stop making the tubes internally.

Superior has provided the following information for its recent year of operation: The common stock account balance at the beginning of the year was $11,000 and the year-end balance was $15,500. The additional paid-in capital account balance increased $3,600 during the year. The retained earnings balance at the beginning of the year was $65,000 and the year-end balance was $90,000. Net income was $37,000. How much were Superior's dividend declarations during its recent year of operation

Answers

Answer:

$12,000

Explanation:

Given the above information, we will apply the formula below:

The ending balance of retained earnings = Beginning balance of retained earnings + Net income - Dividend paid

$90,000 = $65,000 + $37,000 - Dividend paid

Dividend paid = $65,000 + $37,000 - $90,000

Dividend paid = $12,000

Therefore, the above balance of $12,000 would be displayed in the retained earnings statment

Explanation:

Advanced Company

Income Statement for the year -  absorption costing

Sales  ($71 x 21,000 units)     $1,491,000

Less Cost of Sales               ($1,008,000)

Gross Profit                              $483,000

Less Expenses

Operating expenses             ($300,000)

Net Income                              $183,000

where,

Cost of Sales = Units Sold x Product Cost

                      = 21,000 x $48

                      = $1,008,000

Product Cost = all manufacturing costs (absorption costing)

                      = $19 + $21 + $3 + ($175,000 ÷  35,000)

                      = $48

TaskMaster manufactured 21,000 units of product during November using 170,000 pounds of direct materials and 6,000 direct labor hours. What is the direct labor efficiency variance for November

Answers

Answer:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $5,400 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard= Direct Labor 0.25 hour $ 7.20 per hour

Actual= 6,000 hours

Number of units= 21,000

To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (21,000*0.25 - 6,000)*7.2

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (5,250 - 6,000)*7.2

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $5,400 unfavorable

5. A neighborhood sportswear store sells a pair of Nike sneakers for $40. Due to the recent fitness craze, these shoes are in high demand: 50 pairs of shoes are sold per week. The ordering cost is $20/order, and the annual holding cost is 20 percent of selling price. If the store operates 52 weeks a year, what can you say about the current lot size of 235

Answers

Answer: Too large

Explanation:

Thw following information can be gotten from the question:

d = 50 pairs per week

S = ordering cost = $20 per order

H = holding cost = 20% × $40 = $8

n = 52 weeks

D = Annual demand = 50 × 52 = 2600

We'll then calculate the economic order quantity which will be:

= ✓2DS/H

= ✓2×2600×20/8

= ✓13000

= 114 units

Therefore, the current lot size of 235 is too large

Current assets = Current assets in 2021 = Cash in 2021 + Accounts Receivable in 2021 + Inventory in 2021 + Prepaid expenses in 2021 = $72,600 + $47,600 + 54,800 + $5,200 = $180,200

Current liabilities = Current liabilities in 2021 = Accounts Payable in 2021 + accrued Liabilities in 2021 = $25,700 + $5,000 = $30,700

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Current ratio = 180,200 / 30,700 = 5.87

B. Gross Profit Percentage

Gross Profit Percentage = (Gross profit / Sales) * 100 ………………….. (2)

Where:

Gross profit = Sales – Cost of goods sold = $480,000 - $243,200 = $236,800

Sales = $480,000

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

Gross Profit Percentage = ($236,800 / $480,000) * 100 = 49.33%

C. Debt Ratio

Debt ratio = Total debts / Total assets …………………………….. (3)

Where:

Total debts = Total liabilities in 2021 = $70,700

Total assets = total assets in 2021 = $224,700

Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:

Debt ratio = $70,700 / $224,700 = 0.31

D. Debt to Equity Ratio

Debt to Equity Ratio = Total debts / Total equity …………………………….. (4)

Total debts = Total liabilities in 2021 = $70,700

Total equity = total equity in 2021 = $154,000

Substituting the values into equation (4), we have:

Debt to Equity Ratio = $70,700 / $154,000 = 0.46
