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

Answer:
$8,119,048
Explanation:
Given that,
Amount of scholarships = $170,500 per year
Trust fund earns an annual rate of return = 2.1 percent
Let x be the amount contribute to the fund and assuming that only income is distributed,
2.1% of x = Amount of scholarships
0.021x = $170,500
x = $170,500 ÷ 0.021
= $8,119,048
Therefore, the amount of money that is contributed by the George Jefferson to the trust is $8,119,048.
Answer:
See answers below
Explanation:
a. Direct materials & supplies $40,000 = $40,000 × 110%
= $44,000 × 20,000/25,000
= $35,200
Employee costs = $2,900,000 × 105%
= $3,045,000 × 20,000/25,000
= $2,346,000
Variable overhead = $600,000 × 100%
= $600,000 × 20,000/25000
= $480,000
Fixed overhead = $700,000 × 105%
= $735,000
b. Total costs per unit year 2 =
$3,596,000 / 20,000
= $179.81
