To convey his best wishes to Jonathan for a meeting scheduled later in the day, the business document that would be most appropriate in this scenario would be an email.
Answer:
a. A cost that is necessary for the overall operation of the business but not directly related to a contract
Explanation:
Option B - Allocable costs cannot be considered if the contractor is doing business with the government.
Option C - If the cost is exempted, it cannot be specifically allowable for a contract, or a cost that is beneficial to both the contract and other work.
Option D - Indirect costs cannot be allowable.
Option A - It is the right answer because allowable cost should be significant for the operations with an indirect relation with the contract. If it is linked with the overall operations, it can be considered as allowable to a contract.
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:
Accounting revenue = $7,500,000
Tax revenue = $5,000,000
Explanation:
Contribution margin is net of Sales price and variable cost per unit.
Break-even is the level of sales at which the business have no profit no loss. At this point business only covers the the variable and fixed cost.
Average contribution = (Revenue from Accounting x Contribution of accounting services ) + (Revenue from Tax x Contribution of Tax services )
Average contribution = (60% x 30%) + (40% x 40%) = 18% + 16% = 34%
Revenue at break-even = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
Revenue at break-even = $4,250,000 / 34% = $12,500,000
Accounting revenue = $12,500,000 x 60% = 7,500,000
Tax revenue = $12,500,000 x 40% = 5,000,000
Answer:
A sunk cost is the correct answer to this question.
Explanation:
Sunk cost:- Sunk costs are those expenses that have been accumulated in the past and are thus in some way unrelated to judgment-making.
In the question referred to above, the company has already made $14 to produce. This cost will be inconsequential even if the company makes the units as it is or procedures them further.
As a result, $14 is a sunk expense.
Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.
