Rudd Clothiers is a small company that manufactures tall-men's suits. The company has used a standard cost accounting system. In May 2017, 11,250 suits were produced. The following standard and actual cost data applied to the month of May when normal capacity was 14,000 direct labor hours. All materials purchased were used.
Cost Element Standard (per unit) Actual
Direct materials 8 yards at $4.40 per yard $375,575 for 90,500 yards
($4.15 per yard)
Direct labor 1.2 hours at $13.40 per hour $200,925 for 14,250 hours
($14.10 per hour)
Overhead 1.2 hours at $6.10 per hour $49,000 fixed overhead $37,000 variable
overhead (fixed $3.50; variable $2.60)
Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. At normal capacity, budgeted fixed overhead costs were $49,000, and budgeted variable overhead was $36,400
Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for (1) materials and (2) labor. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. The total, price, and quantity variances for materials will be:
Actual Production = 11250
Standard Quantity of Direct Material Required per unit = 8
Standard Quantity of Direct Material required (SQ) = 11250*l × 8 = 90000
Standard Price per Yard (SP) = 4.4
Actual Direct Material (AQ) = 90500
Actual Price per Pound (AP) = 4.15
Total Material Variance:
= (SP × SQ) - (AP × AQ)
= (4.40 × 90000) - (4.15 × 90500)
= 396000 - 375575
= 20425
Direct Material Price Variance:
= AQ × (SP - AP)
= 90500 × (4.40 - 4.15)
= 90500 × 0.25
= 22625 Favourable
Direct materials quantity variance:
= SP × (SQ - AQ)
= 4.40 × (90000 - 90500)
= 4.40 × -500
= -2200 Unfavourable
2. The total, price, and quantity variances for labor will be:
Actual Production = 11250
Standard Hours Required per unit = 1.2
Standard Hours required (SH) = 11250 × 1.20 = 13500
Standard Rate per Hour (SR) = 13.4
Actual Hours required (AH) = 14250
Actual Rate per Hour (AR) = 14.1
Total Labour Variance:
= (SR × SH) - (AR × AH)
= (13.40 × 13500) - (14.10 × 14250)
= 180900 - 200925
= -20025 Unfavourable
Dircet Labour RateVariance:
= AH × (SR - AR)
= 14250 × (13.40 - 14.10)
= 14250 × -0.7
= -9975 Unfavourable
Direct Labour efficiency variance:
= SR × (SH - AH)
= 13.40 × (13500 - 14250)
= 13.40 × -750
= -10050 Unfavourable
1- Introduction to Business class is to observe the use of groups in a large manufacturing business. The students notice that most groups are arranged by reporting relationships. Bill discovers a group of managers who have been placed together to study and recommend a course of action on a flextime schedule for employees. Jane finds that the executives of the company have formed a team consisting of themselves, some middle managers, and a few hourly employees to work on improving work processes and efficiency within the company. This group has been in existence for 5 years and is going strong . The group of managers that Bill discovers is an example of:
A) an informal interest group.
B) a formal group.
C) A fun group.
D) a quality group.
Answer:
Option B (a formal group) is the correct approach.
Explanation:
The formal groupings are created purposefully as well as deliberately together to focus group members' continued efforts, in particular their workers, towards achieving their corporate goals.It must be utilized to aid this same right decision-making, even though many persons come up with competing processes and strategies which would have been seen as superior choices.The other given choices are not connected to the given instance. So the above is the right choice.
The Upstart Company has the following production function.

If the company hires 4 workers, which of the following could be the real wage rate?
a. 2
b. 4
c. 6
d. 8
Answer:
b. 4
Explanation:
The computation of the real wage rate is as follows:
Number of workers Number of cases produced Marginal product
0 0 -
1 10 10
2 19 9
3 26 7
4 31 5
5 34 3
At optimal MP = real wage rate.
So,
For 4th worker , MP is 5
And for 5th worker ,MP is 3
So in the case when we hire 4 workers so the real wage rate should lies in between of 3 and 4
Therefore the real wage rate is 4
Fill in the missing numbers for the following income statement. (Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.) a.Calculate the OCF. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) b.What is the depreciation tax shield
Full question:
Fill in the missing numbers for the following income statement. (Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Sales $ 687,900
Costs $442,800
Depreciation $115,400
EBIT $
Taxes (30%)
Net income $
OCF
What is the depreciation tax shield?
Answer:
Operating Cash Flow(OCF)= $206190
Depreciation tax shield = $34620
Explanation:
To calculate Depreciation tax shield:
Depreciation×tax rate= $115400×0.30=$34620
Operating Cash flow(OCF)= Earnings before interest and taxes(EBIT)+depreciation - income tax expense
So we calculate EBIT and Income tax expense
EBIT= Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense
= $ 687,900-$442,800-$115,400= $129,700
Income tax expense= (Sales - cost of goods sold - depreciation expense) × tax rate
=($687900-$442800-$115400)×0.30
=$38910
Therefore, Operating Cash flow(OCF)= $129,700+$$115,400-$38910= $206190
A small firm intends to increase the capacity of a bottleneck operation by adding a new machine. Two alternatives, A and B, have been identified, and the associated costs and revenues have been estimated. Annual fixed costs would be $36,000 for A and $31,000 for B; variable costs per unit would be $7 for A and $11 for B; and revenue per unit would be $18.
Requied:
a. Determine each alternativeâs break-even point in units.
b. At what volume of output would the two alternatives yield the same profit?
c. If expected annual demand is 10,000 units, which alternative would yield the higher profit?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Alternative A:
Fixed costs= $36,000
Unitary variable cost= $7
Selling price= $18
Alternative B:
Fixed costs= $31,000
Unitary variable cost= $11
Selling price= $18
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units for each alternative:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Alternative A= 36,000 / (18 - 7)= 3,273
Alternative B= 31,000 / (18 - 11)= 4,429
Now, we equal the indifference point:
36,000 + 7x = 31,000 + 11x
x= number of units
5,000 = 4x
1,250 = x
The indifference point is 1,250 units.
Finally, 10,000 units are sold:
Alternative A:
Net income= 10,000*(18 - 7) - 36,000
Net income= $74,000
Alternative B:
Net income= 10,000*(18 - 11) - 31,000
Net income= $39,000
15. Assume that Bullen issued 12,000 shares of common stock, with a $5 par value and a $47 fair value, to obtain all of Vicker's outstanding stock. In this acquisition transaction, how much goodwill should be recognized
Answer:
$104,000
Explanation:
Note: The full question is attached as picture below
Fair value of net assets = Cash and receivables + Inventory + Land + Buildings (net) + Equipment (net) - Liabilities
Fair value of net assets = $70,000 + 210,000 + 240,000 + 270,000 + 90,000 - 420,000
Fair value of net assets = $460,000
Purchase consideration paid = 12,000*$47
Purchase consideration paid = $564,000
Goodwill recognized = Purchase consideration - Fair value of net assets
Goodwill recognized = $564,000 - $460,000
Goodwill recognized = $104,000

Explain the concept of the voice of the customer (VOC). Why would a clear VOC process be important in the supplier to receiving organization relationship
Answer:
See the explanation below.
Explanation:
a. Explain the concept of the voice of the customer (VOC).
Voice of the customer (VOC) can be described as a detailed process of collecting data on expectations, preferences, and aversions of a customer.
VOC means emphasizing the consumer, their opinions, experiences, and input about the brand of a company.
b. Why would a clear VOC process be important in the supplier to receiving organization relationship?
Voice of Customer process gives a company the opportunity to listen to each customer, act on their feedback, and analyze the data to improve operations. Therefore, the company would be able to avoid potential problems for future customers by being attentive and responsive, and it can obtain immediate benefit from customers who provide positive feedback.
The ability to measure a customer's experience at important touch points in real time is one of the key advantages of VOC process. Therefore, one of the best things a company can do is just ask its customers what they want and create a relationship from there.
has the following production data: beginning work in process 25200 units (70% complete), started into production 474000 units, completed and transferred out 449700 units, and ending work in process 49500 units (30% complete). Assuming all materials are entered at the beginning of the process, equivalent units of production for materials are:
Answer:
Equivalent units of production= 474,000
Explanation:
To calculate the equivalent units of production, we need to use the following formula:
Units started and completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production= 424,500 + (49,500*1)
Equivalent units of production= 474,000
As direct material is incorporated at the beginning of the period, its completion is 100%.

The process for converting present values into future values is called________________.
Answer:
Compounding.
Explanation:
Compounding is typically an accounting process used for the conversion of present values of an asset, investment or money into future values.
Generally, a compound interest is calculated based on the interest rate on a loan, principal and the accumulated interest gained from previous periods. This interests is compounded for a certain number of times such as daily, weekly, quarterly or annually.
Mathematically, to find the future value from the present value of an asset or investment, we would use the compound interest formula;
[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]
Where;
A is the future value. P is the principal or starting amount. r is annual interest rate. n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year. t is the number of years for the compound interest.The discount rate is the interest rate banks charge their best customers. the interest rate banks charge each other for overnight loans. the interest rate the U.S. Treasury pays on Treasury Bills. the interest rate the Fed charges to banks for loans from the Fed.

Crossfade Corp. has a bond with a par value of $2,000 that sells for $1,956.84. The bond has a coupon rate of 6.84 percent and matures in 24 years. If the bond makes semiannual coupon payments, what is the YTM of the bond
Answer:
Semestral rate= 3.51%
Annual rate= 7.02%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Par value= $2,000
Present value= $1,956.84
Coupon= (0.0684/2)*2,000= $68.4
Number of periods= 24*2= 48 semesters
To calculate the YTM, we need to use a financial calculator:
Function= CMPD
n= 48
I%= SOLVE = 3.51%
PV= 1,956.84
PMT= -68.4
FV= -2,000
Semestral rate= 3.51%
Annual rate= 3.51*2= 7.02%
Huprey Co. is the defendant in the following legal claims. For each of the following claims, indicate whether Huprey should (a) record a liability, (b) disclose in notes, or (c) have no disclosure.
Answer:
Record a liability.Disclose in notes.Have no disclosure.Explanation:
A contingent liability should only be recorded if the likelihood of it happening is known and the value can reasonably be estimated.
In the first scenario, it is likely that Huprey will lose so the likelihood is known. The value can also be reasonably estimated to be $1,070,000 so this should be recorded as a liability.
In the second scenario, the likelihood is known but the value cannot be estimated. In such a case, simply disclose this possibility in the notes of the financial statement.
For the third scenario, the possibility of the liability being incurred is remote so there is no need to either record or disclose the liability.
Suppose two factors are identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 4% and IR 6%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and 0.4 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 14%. If industrial production actually grows by 5%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 7%, what is your best guess for the rate of return on the stock? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
15.4%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine your best guess for the rate of return on the stock
The revised estimate on the rate of return on
the stock would be:
Before
14% = α +[4%*1] + [6%*0.4]
α = 14% - 6.4%
α = 7.6%
With the changes:
7.6% + [5%*1] + [7%*0.4]
= 7.6% + 5% + 2.8%
= 15.4%
Therefore your best guess for the rate of return on the stock will be 15.4%
Why has Zara been successful? What are its value and cost drivers? How does it protect them? How well does it grow and innovate over time? In what activities? Why?

Sandra is purchasing a home with a first mortgage loan for $548,250, which is the conforming loan limit for the area where she lives at the time that she secures approval. Her interest rate is not a prime rate, and in order to determine if it triggers the threshold for higher-priced mortgage loans, her creditor must determine if the APR for the loan exceeds the average prime offer rate by:
Question Completion with Options:
2.5 percentage points
1.5 percentage points
3.5 percentage points
6.5 percentage points
Answer:
Sandra's creditor must determine if the APR for the loan exceeds the average prime offer rate by:

Your non-technical manager is delighted with the idea of referring to common vulnerabilities by their nicknames, such as "Heartbleed" instead of CVE-2014-0160 or "Shellshock" instead of CVE-2014-6271, and insists that no one can possibly remember those long CVE names. Present reasons both for and against this conclusion. Which side of the issue do you agree with, explain your opinion and reasoning. This should be written as a recommendation email to your manager with a list of backup sources at the bottom. When you list these sources, include more information than only a URL.
In its most recent annual report, Appalachian Beverages reported current assets of $39,900 and a current ratio of 1.90. Assume that the following transactions were completed: (1) purchased merchandise for $5,100 on account and (2) purchased a delivery truck for $10,000, paying $2,000 cash and signing a two-year promissory note for the balance.
Required:
Compute the updated current ratio.
Answer:
Appalachian Beverages
The Updated current ratio is:
= 1.65
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current assets = $39,900
Current ratio = 1.90
Current liabilities = $21,000 ($39,900/1.90)
Current Assets:
Beginning balance = $39,900
Inventory $5,100
Cash ($2,000)
Ending balance = $43,000
Current Liabilities:
Beginning balance = $21,000
Accounts Payable $5,100
Ending balance = $26,100
Analysis of Transactions:
1. Inventory $5,100 Accounts Payable $5,100
2. Delivery Truck $10,000 Cash $2,000 Two-year Note Payable $8,000
Updated current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities
= $43,000/$26,100
= 1.65
Carly Company plans to depreciate a new building using the double declining-balance depreciation method. The building cost is $960,000. The estimated residual value of the building is $66,000 and it has an expected useful life of 25 years. Assuming the first year's depreciation expense was recorded properly, what would be the amount of depreciation expense for the second year
Answer:
Straight line method rate = 1/ Number of years * 100 = 1/25*100 = 4%
Double declining balance depreciation = 2*Straight line method rate*Book value
First Year depreciation = 8%*$960,000
First Year depreciation = $76,800
Second year depreciation = 8% * (Book Value as on 1st year - First Year depreciation)
Second year depreciation = 8%*($960,000-$76,800)
Second year depreciation = 8%*$883,200
Second year depreciation = $70,656
