Answer:
Fixed overhead volume variance =$3,875 adverse
Explanation:
The non-controllable variance is the fixed overhead volume variance. It is the sum of the fixed overhead efficiency variance and the fixed overhead capacity variance
The efficiency variance is the difference between the standard hours of actual production and the actual hours multiplied by the fixed overhead absorption rate
Capacity variance is the difference budgeted hours and actual hours multiplied by the Fixed overhead absorption rate
Efficiency variance $
4500 units should have taken (4500×2.50) 11,250
but did take 10,000
variance in hours 1250
Standard Fixed overhead absorption rate× $3.10
Efficiency variance 3,875 favorable
capacity variance $
Budgeted hours (38750/3.10) 12,500
Actual hours 10,000
Variance 2,500 adverse
Standard rate × $3.10
Capacity variance 7,750 adverse
Volume variance = 7750 adverse + 3,875 favorable =$3875 adverse
Fixed overhead volume variance =$3,875 adverse
When the price of a good is $5, the quantity demanded of a good is 30 units, and the quantity supplied of the good is 50 units. For every $1 decrease in the price of this good, quantity demanded rises by 5 units and quantity supplied falls by 5 units. The equilibrium price of this good is ___________and the equilibrium quantity of this good is _________ units.
Answer:
the equilibrium price is $3 and equilibrium quantity is 40
Explanation:
The computation of the equilibrium price and quantity is shown below:
Price Quantity demanded Quantity supplied
$5 30 50
$4 35 45
$3 40 40
$2 45 35
$1 50 30
The equilibrium price is the price where the quantity demanded is equivalent to the quantity supplied
So the equilibrium price is $3 and equilibrium quantity is 40

The following materials standards have been established for a particular product at Zoom Industries: Standard quantity per unit of output 6.3 pounds Standard price $15.10 per pound The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual materials purchased 7,650 pounds Actual cost of materials purchased $64,780 Actual materials used in production 7,150 pounds Actual output 890 units The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. What is the materials quantity variance for the month
Answer:
the material quantity variance is $23,299.30 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the material quantity variance is shown below:
= (standard quantity - actual quantity) × standard rate
= (6.3 × 890 - 7,150) × $15.10
= (5,607 - 7,150) × $15.10
= $23,299.30 unfavorable
Hence, the material quantity variance is $23,299.30 unfavorable

General Mattress Company makes Memory Foam mattresses, a mass-market high-volume product, and Magnetic Levitation mattresses, a premium low-volume product. The company uses a traditional cost allocation with a single cost pool. It is planning to implement activity-based costing (ABC). After implementing ABC, the company will likely find that the traditional cost allocation: Group of answer choices
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
First of all, this question is not complete and lacks the group of answer choices. However, I have found that question with complete options on the internet.
So,
The Correct option is: D
Option D = Not enough information
Reasoning:
For overestimated or underestimated or not full information required i.e. cost under traditional method and cost under activity based cost method , both information required for compare methods cost under each method.
Under Activity base costing all indirect cost is applied as per activities use by each product but under traditional method only one key factor use for applied overheads i.e. direct labor hours or machine hours etc.
The bond, which has a $1,000 face value and a coupon rate equal to 10 percent, matures in six years. Interest is paid every six months; the next interest payment is scheduled for six months from today. Assuming the yield on similar risk investments is 14 percent, calculate the current market value (price) of the bond.
Answer:
Market value of bond = 841.14
Explanation:
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate.
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of interest payments
Semi annual interest payment
= 10% × 1,000× 1/2 = 50
PV of interest payment
A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
r- semi-annual yield = 14%/2 = 7%
n- 6× 2 = 12
= 50× (1-(1.07^(-12)/0.07
= 397.13
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV = $1000 × (1.07)^(-12)
= 444.011
Step 3
Price of bond
= 397.13 +444.01
=841.14
Market value of bond = 841.14
Capalbo Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated labor-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the company estimated the labor-hours for the upcoming year at 52,000 labor-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $2.78 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,192,360. The actual labor-hours for the year turned out to be 52,600 labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:______.
a. $2.78
b. $25.45
c. $25.71
d. $22.93
Answer:
Predetermined overhead Absorption rate = $22.93. per labour hour
Explanation:
Predetermined Overhead absorption rate(POAR) = Estimate overhead /Estimated labour hours
Estimated overhead = $1,192,360
Estimated labour hours =52,000 hours
Overhead absorption rate = $1,192,360/52,000 hours =$22.93 per labour hour
Predetermined overhead Absorption rate = $22.93. per labour hour

A Rhode Island company produces communion wafers for churches around the country and the world. The little company produces a lot of wafers, several hundred million per year. When in production, the process produces wafers at the rate of 112 per second. During this production process, the wafers must spend 12 minutes passing through a cooling tube.
Required:
How many wafers does the cooling tube hold on average when in production?
Answer:
80,640 wafers
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How many wafers does the cooling tube hold on average when in production
Using this formula
I = R x T
Where,
R = 112 wafers per second x 60
R = 6720 wafers per minute
T = 12 minutes
Let compute for I using the formula aboi
I = 6720 x 12
I = 80,640 wafers
Therefore How many wafers does the cooling tube hold on average when in production are 80,640 wafers

Ending inventory, 60% completed 65,000 units
The number of materials equivalent units of production in the June 30 Finishing Department inventory, assuming that the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories and materials were added at the beginning of the process, is:______
Answer:
the equivalent units of production related to the material is 126,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units of production related to the material is shown below:
= Completed units + Ending inventory units - Beginning inventory units.
= 65,000 units + 65,000 units - 4,000 units
= 126,000 units
hence, the equivalent units of production related to the material is 126,000 units
Robert and Becca file jointly. They have taxable income of $60,000 in 2020 (before considering any capital gains or losses). They have a long-term capital gain of $28,000 and a long-term capital loss of $17,000 on sales of stock in the current year. What will their capital gains tax be in the current year
Answer: $0
Explanation:
We should note that based on the information given, Robert and Becca file jointly, therefore, their their capital gains tax be in the current year will be $0.
Assuming they filed separately, their capital gains tax be in the current year will be:
= 15% × ($28,000 - $17,000)
= 0.15 × $11000
= $1650.
But regarding the question, the answer is $0.
Members of 67 countries attended a conference on economic development hosted by an international organization based in Gent, Belgium. Attendees of the workshop learned about techniques designed to assist countries in expanding their degree of economic development. Emerging markets act as manufacturing bases for global Miltinationals Enterprises because of ________.
Answer:
High availability.of cheaper labour
Explanation:
An emerging market is defined as one that does not meet the standards of a fully developed market. For example in the area.of labour cost there is no standard set for it.
So companies can get cheap labour from these economies.
Companies like Apple and Nike have used cheap labour from emerging countries to reduce their cost of production.
Manufacturing bases are established in relatively poorer economies where the workers are willing to work for cheap wage

Assume you are using the dividend growth model to value stocks. If you expect the inflation rate to increase, you should also expect: A. market value of all stocks to decrease, all else equal. B. market value of all stocks to remain constant as the dividend growth will offset the increase in inflation. C. stocks that do not pay dividends to decrease in price while dividend paying stocks maintain a constant price.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = interest rate
g = growth rate
Interest rate used is usually nominal, thus, it increases with inflation rate
We can see that the interest rate is an inverse function of the value, thus when inflation increases, interest rate increases and price declines
Example
d1 = 5
r = 10%
g = 5%
5/ (0.1 - 0,05) = 100
when interest rate increases to 20% as a result of inflation, value becomes
5 / 0.2 - 0.05 = 33.33
value decreased with increase in inflation
A manufacturing process consists of three processes. Step 1 requires 10 minutes per unit, step 2 requires 6 minutes per unit and step 3 requires 7 minutes per unit. 40% of units that complete the third step require rework, which means those units must start the process over at step 2 (processing times are the same for units being reworked) and rework is always successful. Demand at the shop is 0.4 units per minute.What is the capacity of the shop (in units per units per minute)?
Answer: 0.1 units per minute
Explanation:
Step 1 time = 10 minutes per unit
Step 2 time = 6 minutes + (0.4 * 6 minutes for those units reworked)
= 8.4 minutes
Step 3 time = 7 minutes + (0.4 * 7 minutes for those units reworked)
= 9.8 minutes
Step 1 will determine the process capacity because it is the one that takes the most time and therefore is the bottleneck process.
Capacity of process = 1 / Bottleneck minutes
= 1 / 10
= 0.1 units per minute
How to control quality?
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Set your quality standards.
In some industries, you may have to meet quality standards set by an outside body, such as an industry association, the local health and safety inspector, or a government regulatory agency. In others, there aren't any official quality standards, so you'll need to set your own.
Each department of your business will have different quality control standards. However, they must all be objectively measurable. For example, if you're developing quality control standards for your customer service team, “sounding friendly on the phone" is not a measurable standard. Measurable standards might include:
Answering all customer calls by the second ring
Responding to all customer service emails within four hours
Resolving customer service problems in five minutes or less
2. Decide which quality standards to focus on.
Of course, you want to ensure quality in all aspects of your operation. However, begin by focusing on the most important measures — those that have the biggest effect on your profits and your customer experience. This will enable you to get results quickly and also keeps you and your team from becoming overwhelmed.
For instance, if you own a restaurant, keeping the restrooms clean is definitely something to monitor in your quality control program—but not the most important thing. Getting orders out to customers quickly and accurately is a more important standard because it has a more direct effect on the quality of experience and customer satisfaction.
3. Create operational processes to deliver quality.
W. Edwards Deming, the founder of modern quality control, believed that well-designed processes lead to high-quality products and services. If you create good processes, continually measure the results of the processes, and work to consistently improve the process, your product or service will get better and better.
Starting with your critical operations, create step-by-step processes that include benchmarks. For instance, in a B2B company's accounting department, operational processes might require preparing and delivering invoices within 24 hours after a job is completed or a product is delivered. In a restaurant, operational processes might require servers to pick up food for delivery to the customer’s table within two minutes of it being prepared.
4. Review your results.
Most business software, from financial and accounting apps to customer relationship management or customer service tools, lets you customize the information you collect and use dashboards to view it at a glance. Review your data regularly to see how well your company is meeting its quality standards.
5. Get feedback.
Use measurable feedback from external sources, such as customer surveys, online ratings and reviews and net promoter scores (NPS), to get a fuller picture of product and service quality. Also, get regular feedback from employees. How well are the operational processes working to deliver quality? How could they be improved?
6. Make improvements.
Once you’re meeting your quality control standards, don't stop there. For example, if you own a residential cleaning service business and you can cut the time it takes your maids to clean a home by 25 percent, you’ll be able to handle 25 percent more business without hiring any additional employees. That will really boost your bottom line.
No matter how well your processes are running, quality control shows there's always room for improvement, and making small changes can pay off in big ways.
As a project engineer, you received the AW analysis below from the finance department. It is for a new piece of equipment you ordered some months ago. You were told the interest rate used was 10% per year, but no first cost or projected salvage value was provided and you want to know them. Determine the values of P and S using the AW values for the year 3. Note: The AW values are equivalent values through the given year, not costs for the single year.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the value of P and the value of S is shown below:
For P
The Annual worth of the first cost for the year 3 is $18,899
Now
Annual worth = First Cost(A/P, 10%, 3)
$18,899 = P[0.1(1 + 0.1)^3 ÷ ((1 + 0.1)^3 - 1)]
$18,899 = 0.4021P
P = $46,999
For S
The Annual worth of the salvage value for the year 3 is $6,648
Now
Annual worth = Salvage value(A/F, 10%, 3)
$6,648 = S[0.1 ÷ ((1 + 0.1)^3 – 1)]
$6,648 = 0.30211S
S = $22,005
Uptown Bank provides lockbox services. They estimate that you can reduce your average mail time by 2.2 days and your combined clearing and processing time by .75 days by implementing their system. Your firm receives 65 checks a day with an average value of $298 each. The current T-Bill rate is .01 percent per day. Assume a 365-day year. The bank will charge your firm $.15 per check. What is the annual net savings from installing this system?
Answer: $1473.067
Explanation:
First, we calculate the total time that's saved by the firm when it installs the lockbox services. This will be:
= 2.2 days + 0.75 days
= 2.95 days
Then, the gross amount that the firm will save will be:
= 65 × 2.95 × 298 × 0.01%
= $5.7142 per day
Since the bank charges the firm $0.15 per check and the firm receives 65 checks per day, the total cost to the firm will then be:
= 65 × $0.15
= $9.75 per day
The net loss will then be calculated as:
= $9.75 - $5.7142
= $4.0358 per day
Then, to get that for annual, we multiply the above value by 365. This will be:
= $4.0358 × 365
= $1473.067 per annum.

You manage an equity fund with an expected risk premium of 10% and an expected standard deviation of 15%. The rate on Treasury bills (risk-free rate) is 5%. Your client chooses to invest $60,000 of her portfolio in your equity fund and $40,000 in a T-bill money market fund. The expected return and standard deviation of your client's overall portfolio is:__________ a. 11.0% and 9.0% b. 10.0% and 8.4% c. 15.0% and 9.0% d. 5.0% and 15.0%
Answer:
Portfolio Mean return = 11%
Portfolio Stdev = 0.09 or 9%
Option a is the correct answer
Explanation:
The mean return of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated by multiplying the weight of each security in the portfolio by the mean return of that security and adding the products for each security. The formula for two asset or security portfolio return (mean) can be written as follows,
Portfolio Mean = wA * rA + wB * rB
Where,
w represents the weight of each security r represents the mean return of each security
The return on the equity fund = risk free rate + risk premium
The return on the equity fund = 5% + 10% = 15%
Portfolio Mean return = 60% * 15% + 40% * 5%
Portfolio Mean return = 11%
The standard deviation is a measure of the total risk. The standard deviation of a portfolio consisting of two securities, one of which is a risk free security and has zero standard deviation, can be calculated as follows,
Portfolio Stdev = Weight of risky security * Standard deviation of risky security
Portfolio Stdev = 0.6 * 0.15
Portfolio Stdev = 0.09 or 9%
