Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

a) Sales volume variance = $1496000 unfavorable

flexible-budget variance = $192000 favorable

b) For direct materials

Price variance = `$135000 unfavorable

efficiency variances = $527920 favorable

For direct manufacturing labor

Price variance = `$36600 unfavorable

efficiency variances = $914815 favorable

Explanation:

a) Sales volume variance = (Actual units sold - Budgeted units sold) x Budgeted price per unit = (4800 - 7000) × $680 = $1496000 unfavorable

flexible-budget variance =  (Actual price - Budgeted price) x Actual units sold= ($720 - $680) × 4800 = $192000 favorable

b) For direct materials

Price variance = (Actual cost - standard cost) x Actual quantity of units purchased = ($5.95/ pound - $8/pound) × 66000 pound= `$135000 unfavorable

efficiency variances = (Actual unit - Standard unit) x Standard cost per unit = (66000 pound - 10 pound) × $8 per pound= $527920 favorable

For direct manufacturing labor

Price variance = (Actual cost - standard cost) x Actual hours = ($48/hour - $50/hour) × 18300 hours = `$36600 unfavorable

efficiency variances = (Actual hours - Standard hours) x Standard cost per hour= (18300 hour - 3.7 hour) × $50/hour = $914815 favorable

At the beginning of 2019, Robotics Inc. acquired a manufacturing facility for $13.5 million. $10.5 million of the purchase price
sdas [7]

Answer:

$511,667

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for 2019 and 2020 is shown below:

= (Purchase price - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($10,500,000 - $2,500,000) ÷ (25 years)

= ($8,000,000) ÷ (25 years)  

= $320,000

The depreciation in this method is the same for the rest of the useful life

Now the book value for 2021 would be

= Purchase price - depreciation for 2 years

= $10,500,000 - $320,000 × 2

= $9,860,000

Now the depreciation for 2021 would be

= ($9,860,000 - $650,000) ÷ 18 years

= $511,667
