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:
COFFEE SHOPS would have a larger potential customer base.
NEW SHOE STORE is geared toward individuals with more disposable income.
Explanation:
The logic here is quite simple, households earning $25,000 or more are likely to be customers of the coffee shops. This also includes households earning $55,000 or more. So the consumer base of coffee shops is very large.
On the other hand, only households earning $55,000 or more are likely to be customers of the new shoe store. Since there are fewer households that earn $55,000 or more, their consumer base will be smaller and it should rather focus on people with more disposable income.
Even if 90% of the people earn above $55,000 and only 10% earn between $25,000 - $55,000, the consumer base of coffee shops will always be larger since it includes almost everyone.

Answer:
The amount of inventory reported on balance sheet is $62,500
Explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the value at which inventory will be reported on the balance sheet.
To do this, we can employ a mathematical approach.
Mathematically;
Amount of inventory reported in Balance sheet = physical inventory + goods sent on consigned + inventory purchased on fob destination
From the question, we can identify the following;
Physical inventory = $50,000
Goods sent on consigned = $10,000
Inventory purchased on fob destination = $2,500
The amount of inventory reported in balance sheet = 50,000 + 10,000 + 2,500 = $62,500
