Answer:

Cost variance is $6,400 unfavorable

Explanation:

Cost variance shows that how much under/over valued is the budget. It measures the difference of the actual cost incurred and the budgeted cost.

Earned value is the value of budgeted cost which is calculated using actual activity. It is the cost that should be incur on budgeted units.

Earned value can be calculated as follow:

Earned value = Actual Activity x Budgeted rate = $27,500 x $6 = $165,000

Formula for cost variance is as follow

Cost Variance = Earned Value - Actual Value

Cost Variance = $165,000 - $171,400

Cost Variance = -$6,400

It is an unfavorable variance because company incurred more cost than it should be.

Good X is produced in a competitive market using input A. Explain what would happen to the supply of good X in each of the follo
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a. It will increase.

b. It will decrease

c. It will decrease

d. it will increase.

Explanation:

If the price of an input needed for production of good X decreases, the cost of production of good X reduces. It becomes cheaper to produce good X and and as a result the supply of good X would increase.

An increase in tax increases the cost of production and makes production of good X more expensive. As a result, the supply of good X would fall.

technological change that reduces the cost of producing additional units of good X, would make the production of good X less expensive. As a result, the supply of good X would increase

A hot dog vendor sells an average of 50 hot dogs during a Little League baseball game. If the sales are Normally distributed wit
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

74.64%

Explanation:

Average sales (μ) = 50 hot dogs

Standard deviation (σ) = 7 hot dogs

In a normal distribution, the z-score for any given number of hot dogs sold, X, is determined by:

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

For X = 45 hot dogs:

z=\frac{45-50}{7}\\ z= -0.7143

For X = 65 hot dogs:

z=\frac{65-50}{7}\\ z= 2.1429

A z-score of -0.7143 falls in the 23.75th percentile of a normal distribution while a z-score of 2.1429 falls in the 98.39th percentile.

Therefore, the probability that he vendor will sell between 45 and 65 hot dogs is:

P(45 \leq X \leq 65) = 98.39-23.75\\P(45 \leq X \leq 65) = 74.64\%

Describe a problem you face in your everyday life or at work. How might you use hypothesis testing to find a solution or improve
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The common problem i encounter mostly is the statistical modelling problem.

In this scenario we choose best combination of independent variables for the hypothesis testing. the independent variable shows the significant effect on dependent variable so we keep it in modelling.

My null hypothesis would be that there is no significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.  for my alternative hypothesis there exist is significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.

Explanation:

The common problem I face daily is the statistical modelling problem which is the selection of relevant independent variable for prediction modelling.

In this example to select the best combination of independent variables we use hypothesis testing. if the independent variable has significant effect on dependent variable then the independent variable shows the significant effect on dependent variable so we keep it in modelling. In this way the model gets improved.

Since there are always two variables or two categories. hence it has a two sample test.

The Hypothesis can be shown below:

Null hypothesis:

H0: There is no significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.

Alternative hypothesis:

Ha: There is significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

$25,000

Explanation:

The value of inventory at the end of the end of the period will be equal to

Value of inventory = Cost of goods sent less the cost of goods already sold.

<em>Remember the arrangement  is that of agency, hence the goods are not deemed to be sold except the agent has been able to exchange them for revenue in a sales contract with his own buyers.</em>

Also the sales commission would be reported under a separated ledger which will be reported as part of the operating expenses.

Amount of inventory = $105,000 - $80,000

                                  = $25,000

Ma Barker Company has a job-order costing system and uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply man
seropon [69]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (A) $42.00

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The established rate  is given as = 100,000/40,000

= $2.5 per hour

Thus

The cost of the job is shown is shown below:

The direct material = $5,000

The direct labor = $2400

Then

The manufacturing overheard is = 400 * 2.5 = $1,000

So,

The total cost is = $5,000 + $2400 + $1000 = $8,400

To get our unit cost,

Unit cost = $8400/200 = $42.00

It is important to know that, the  number of labor hours used in jobs = Total labor cost/Rate per hour

=2,400/6 = 400 hours
