Logistics Solutions provides order fulfillment services for dot merchants. The company maintains warehouses that stock items carried by its dot clients. When a client receives an order from a customer, the order is forwarded to Logistics Solutions, which pulls the item from storage, packs it, and ships it to the customer. The company uses a predetermined variable overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. In the most recent month, 120,000 items were shipped to customers using 2,300 direct labor-hours. The company incurred a total of $7,360 in variable overhead costs. According to the company's standards, 0.02 direct labor-hours are required to fulfill an order for one item and the variable overhead rate is $3.25 per direct labor-hour.
Required:
1. What variable overhead cost should have been incurred to fill the orders for the 120,000 items? How much does this differ from the actual variable overhead cost?
2. Break down the difference computed (1) above into a variable overhead rate variance and a variable overhead efficiency variance.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The correct answers are as follows:

Numbers of items shipped 140000

Standard Direct labor-hours 0.03

Total direct labor- hours allowed 140000*0.03

= 4200

Standard direct labor cost per hour $3.05

Total standard direct labor cost 3.05*4200

=$12810

Actual cost incurred $15900

total standard direct labor cost $12810

Total direct labor variance = $15900-12810

$3090 F

---------

2. Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) x Actual hours worked

((15900/5300)-3.05)*5300

265 U

Labor efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) x Standard rate

(5300-140000*0.03)*3.05

3355 F

Mountain High Ice Cream Company transferred $76,000 of accounts receivable to the Prudential Bank. The transfer was made with recourse. Prudential remits 90% of the factored amount to Mountain High and retains 10% to cover sales returns and allowances. When the bank collects the receivables, it will remit to Mountain High the retained amount (which Mountain estimates has a fair value of $6,600). Mountain High anticipates a $4,600 recourse obligation. The bank charges a 2% fee (2% of $76,000), and requires that amount to be paid at the start of the factoring arrangement. Mountain High has transferred control over the receivables, but determines that it still retains substantially all risks and rewards associated with them. Required: Prepare the journal entry to record the transfer on the books of Mountain High, considering whether the sales criteria under IFRS have been met.

When a bill is paid in QuickBooks using the Pay Bills window, QuickBooks: Multiple Choice Increases the Accounts Payable account and increases the Checking account Increases an Expense account and increases the Accounts Payable account Decreases an Expense account and decreases the Checking account Decreases the Accounts Payable account and decreases the Checking account

Answers

Answer:

Decreases the Accounts Payable account and decreases the Checking account

Explanation:

In the case when the bill is paid in quick books by using the window of pay bills so the liabilities would be reduced also the liquid asset would be decreased

Since the liabilities is reduced i.e. account payable so automatically the checking account would also be reduced

hence, the last option is correct

The same is to be considered

Answer:

You would decrease the accounts payable (paying the bill relieves part of the balance in this account) and decreases the cash account (when you pay the bill, you use or reduce the cash)

Suppose that consumer spending initially rises by $5 billion for every 1 percent rise in household wealth and that investment spending initially rises by $20 billion for every 1 percentage point fall in the real interest rate. Also assume that the economyâs multiplier is 3.If household wealth falls by 5 percent because of declining house values, and the real interest rate falls by 2 percentage points, in what direction and by how much will the aggregate demand curve initially shift at each price level?

Answers

Answer: Aggregate Demand will shift by $25 billion dollars at each price level

Explanation:

1 % rise in Household wealth increases , Consumer Spending by $5 Billion. We can assume that when Household wealth Decreases by 1% consumer spending decreases by $5 billion dollars.

if Household Wealth Decreases by 5% aggregate demand will fall by $25 Billion (1% represents 5 Billion, so 5% will be $5 Billion x 5). Aggregate Demand Curve will initially shift by $25 billion at each price level when household wealth Falls by 5%

A bailment is different from a gift because:___. a. a gift requires consideration, but a bailment does not.
b. a gift is always a contract, but a bailment is generally not a contract.
c. a gift requires delivery, but a bailment does not.
d. in a bailment, only possession of the property is transferred to the bailee, whereas with a gift, both possession and ownership must pass to the donee.

Answers

Answer: d. in a bailment, only possession of the property is transferred to the bailee, whereas with a gift, both possession and ownership must pass to the donee.

Explanation:

When you give a person a gift, you are giving the person both ownership of that gift and the possession as well. For instance, if you give a person a car as a gift, that person now owns the car and will use it as they please.

With a bailment, there is no transfer of ownership. The bailor is simply giving the bailee possession of the property in question which means that after the bailee is done with the property, they have to return it back to the bailor.

The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 62 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below: Fixed Cost per Month Cost per Course Cost per Student Instructor wages $ 2,960 Classroom supplies $ 270 Utilities $ 1,220 $ 75 Campus rent $ 4,800 Insurance $ 2,300 Administrative expenses $ 3,900 $ 44 $ 7 For example, administrative expenses should be $3,900 per month plus $44 per course plus $7 per student.

Final answer:

The planning budget for September, based on 4 courses and 62 students, calculated total expenses of $17,467 and expected revenue of $55,180. The flexible budget was recalculated based on having 4 courses and 56 students, with expenses of $17,629 and revenue of $49,840. Variances between the flexible budget and actuals showed an unfavorable revenue variance of $2,440 and expense variance of $1,387.

Explanation:

The planning budget would be based on the planned courses and student numbers. The calculation includes fixed costs, plus variable costs for each course and student. Considering 4 courses and 62 students, the total expenses come out to be $17,467, while expected revenue would be $55,180 ($890 per student).

The flexible budget would adjust the planned budget based on actual results. Here, with the same 4 courses but only 56 students, the adjusted expenses are $17,629, and the actual revenue is $49,840.

The revenue and spending variances for September can then be calculated by comparing actual results to the flexible budget. The revenue variance is $2,440 unfavorable ($52,280 - $49,840), while the spending variance is $1,387 unfavorable ($19,016 - $17,629).
