Direct Materials Variances
The following data relate to the direct materials cost for the production of 2,100 automobile tires:
Actual: 58,400 lbs. at $1.95 $113,880
Standard: 56,600 lbs. at $2.00 $113,200
a. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Price variance $
Quantity variance $
Total direct materials cost variance $

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is given below:

We know that

Direct Material Price variance = (Actual Price - Standard Price) × 58400

= ($1.95 - $2) × 58400

= $2,920 Unfavourable

Direct Material Quantity variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) ÷ Standard Price

= (56,600 - 58,400) × 2

= $3,600 Unfavourable

and,

Direct Material Cost variance = Standard Cost - Actual Cost

= $113,200 - $113,880

= $680 Unfavourable

Hetrick Dentistry Services operates in a large metropolitan area. Currently, Hetrick has its own dental laboratory to produce porcelain and gold crowns. The unit costs to produce the crowns are as follows:

Porcelain Gold
Raw materials $70 $130
Direct labor 27 27
Variable overhead 8 8
Fixed overhead 22 22
Total $127 $187

Fixed overhead is detailed as follows:

Salary (supervisor) $26,000
Depreciation 5,000
Rent (lab facility) 32,000

Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. These rates were computed by using 5,500 direct labor hours. A local dental laboratory has offered to supply Hetrick all the crowns it needs. Its price is $125 for porcelain crowns and$150 for gold crowns; however, the offer is conditional on supplying both types of crowns—it will not supply just one
type for the price indicated. If the offer is accepted, the equipment used by Hetrick's laboratory would be scrapped (it i!
old and has no market value), and the lab facility would be closed. Hetrick uses 2,000 porcelain crowns and 600 gold crowns per year.

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

Suppose you can only invest in the stock markets of two countries: US and China. The US has an expected return of 5.0% and a standard deviation of 15.0%. China has an expected return of 7.0% and a standard deviation of 22.0%. The correlation between the returns in the two markets is 0.3. The risk-free rate is 3.0%. What is the maximum Sharpe ratio you can obtain (rounded to the nearest 0.001)

Answers

Answer:

The maximum Sharpe ratio you can obtain is 0.182.

Explanation:

Sharpe ratio = (Stock's expected return - Risk-free rate) / Standard Deviation …………… (1)

Therefore, we have:

Sharpe ratio of the US stock market = (5.0% - 3.0%) / 15.0% = 0.133

Sharpe ratio of China stock market = (7.0% - 3.0%) / 22.0% = 0.182

Since you can only invest in the stock markets of US and China, and the Sharpe ratio of China stock market of 0.182 is greater than the Sharpe ratio of the stock market of 0.133, this implies that the maximum Sharpe ratio you can obtain is 0.182.

Answers

Answer: deducted from net income in converting the net income reported on the income statement to cash flows from operating activities.

Explanation:

Cashflows relating to investments that a company has should go to the Investing section of the cashflow statement. This includes proceeds from their sale.

The gain on sales however, is included in the calculation of net income and net income goes to the operating section of the cashflow statement. When putting the total sales proceeds for the asset in the investing section therefore, the gain must be subtracted from the net income in order to avoid double counting as it is already included in the full sales proceeds going to the Investing section.

Answer:

Scenario 1:  A risk-averse person will choose option B.

Scenario 2: A risk-averse person will choose option D.

Scenario 3: A risk-averse person will choose option F.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Scenario 1:

Option A            Winning    Expected

Probability                               Value

50%                    $1,000         $500

50%                             0                0

Total winning =                      $500

Option B            Winning    Expected

Probability                               Value

100%                  $500           $500

0%                                                0

Total winning =                      $500

Scenario 2:

Option C            Winning    Expected

Probability                               Value

40%                    $90             $36

60%                      110               66

Total winning =                    $102

Option D           Winning    Expected

Probability                             Value

100%                   $90           $90

Scenario 3:

Option E            Winning    Expected

Probability                               Value

50%                    $0                $0

50%                    100               50

Total winning =                     $50

Option F            Winning    Expected

Probability                               Value

50%                    $20             $10

50%                      60               30

Total winning =                     $40

b) The risk-averse person tries to avoid risks at all times.  Her choice of investment favors an option that has a 100% probability of winning, thereby eliminating risks in all ramifications.  This is why she is never indifferent between two options as she factors in the probability of losing.

Vextra Corporation is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $35,000. The projected annual cash inflow is $11,000, to be received at the end of each year. The machine has a useful life of 4 years and no salvage value. Vextra requires a 12% return on its investments. The present value of an annuity of $1 for different periods follows: Periods 12% 1 0.8929 2 1.6901 3 2.4018 4 3.0373 Compute the net present value of this investment.

Answers

Answer:

$-1589.16

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Cash flow in year 0 = $-35,000.

Cash flow in year 1 to 4  =  $11,000

I = 12%

NPV = $-1589.16

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute

Bicycles that have been left outside in the summer will rust faster than bicycles kept inside. What causes the bicycles that are left outside to rust faster? Bikes that are kept outside are not used as often, speeding up the chemical reaction of metal rusting. Heat energy from the sun slows down the chemical reaction of the metal rusting. Moisture and oxygen cause oxidation, which speeds up the chemical reaction of the metal rusting. Wind energy outside speeds up the chemical reaction of the metal rusting.
