The variable overhead rate variance or spending variance is 1500.
What is variable overhead rate variance?The difference between the variable manufacturing overhead that actually occurred and the variable manufacturing overhead that was anticipated given the number of hours worked is known as the variable overhead rate variation or spending variance.
The term "variable overhead efficiency variance" refers to both the impact of the discrepancy between the actual manufacturing time and the projected manufacturing time. Variations in production efficiency are the cause of it.
Variable overhead efficiency variance= Standard overhead rate x (Actual hours - Standard hours)
Standard quantity= 3* 15,00
= 45,000 hours
Actual quantity= 44,000 hours
Standard rate= $1.50
Variable overhead variance= 1000* $1.50
= 1500

The company uses straight-line depreciation for trucks and other vehicles, double-declining-balance depreciation for buildings, and straight-line amortization for patents.
January 2, 2015 Paid $86,000 cash to purchase storage shed components.
January 3, 2015 Paid $2,000 cash to have the storage shed erected. The storage
shed has an estimated life of 10 years and a residual value of
$5,000.
April 1, 2015 Paid $40,000 cash to purchase a pickup truck for use in the business.
The truck has an estimated useful life of five years and a residual
value of $3,000.
May 13, 2015 Paid $500 cash for repairs to the pickup truck.
July 1, 2015 Paid $29,000 cash to purchase patent rights on a new paper bag
manufacturing process. The patent is estimated to have a remaining
useful life of five years.
December 31, 2015 Recorded depreciation and amortization on the pickup truck,
storage shed, and patent.
June 30, 2016 Sold the pickup truck for $34,000 cash. (Record the depreciation
on the truck prior to recording its disposal.)
December 31, 2016 Recorded depreciation on the storage shed. Determined that
the patent was impaired and wrote off its remaining book value
(i.e., wrote down the book value to zero).
Record the journal entries for the following:
1. Record the purchase of storage shed components for $86,000.
2. Record the payment of $2,000 to have the storage shed erected
3. Record the purchase of a pickup truck for $40,000.
4. Record the repairs of $500 to the pickup truck.
5. Record the purchase of a patent for $29,000 on a new paper bag manufacturing process
6. Record the depreciation and amortization expense on the pickup truck, storage shed and patent for the year
7. Record the depreciation for the truck up to the date of sale.
8. Record the sale of the pickup truck for $34,000 cash.
9. Record the depreciation on the storage shed for the year.
10. Record any impairment loss incurred on the patent.
Answer:
See the attached excel file for the journal entries.
Explanation:
Note: See Sheet1 of the attached excel file for the journal entries for recording events 1 to 10 as well as the formulae in front of the ones that required calculations.
Note that the double-declining-balance depreciation for buildings is calculated for December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016 as follows:
As form of definition, double-declining-balance is a depreciation method under which an asset is depreciated at twice the rate of the straight line depreciation method.
The depreciation rate for the building is therefore obtained as follows:
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number of estimated life = 1 / 10 = 0.10, or 20%
Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = 10% * 2 = 20%
Total cost of building = $86,000 + $2,000 = $88,000
Depreciation expense on building on December 31, 2015 = Total cost of building * Double-declining depreciation rate = $88,000 * 20% = $17,600
Beginning value of Building on on January 1, 2016 = Total cost of building - Depreciation expense on building on December 31, 2015 = $88,000 - $17,600 = $70,400
Depreciation expense on building on December 31, 2016 = Beginning value of Building on on January 1, 2016 * Double-declining depreciation rate = $70,400 * 20% = $14,080
Additional Note:
See Sheet2 of the attached excel file for how the calculation of Building Depreciation Expenses Using Double-declining balance for the whole of estimated life of 10 years is done. Note that the $5,000 End year book value in Year 10 is the Salvage value and the Year 10 Accumulated depreciation is $83,000 which is the depreciable part of the $88,000.
Lastly, the Year 10 depreciation expense is calculated as follows:
Year 10 depreciation expense = Year 10 Beginning depeciable amount - Salvage value = $11,811 - $5,000 = $6,811
Imagine you are doing an inventory review for your new employer. One of the first items you look at is a cookware set. Demand is normally distributed with a mean of 17 units/day. The standard deviation for demand during lead time is 34.6. The company currently purchases the cookware set when the inventory level falls to 400. Supply lead time is 21 days.
Required:
a. How much safety stock is currently being held?
b. What Cycle Service Level is currently being supported?
c. If a 95% CSL is desired, what reorder point should be used?
d. If the annual holding cost is 20% of item cost and the item costs $12/unit, what is the cost of safety stock inventory based on a 95% CSL?
Answer: a. 43units
b. 89.5%
c. 414 units
d. $68.30
Explanation:
The information given are written below:
Demand, d = 17 units per day
Standard Deviation during lead time, SD = 34.6
Reorder point R = 400
Lead Time, L = 21 days
Since Reorder point = (d×L) + (Z×SD)
400 = (17 × 21) + (34.6 × Z)
400 = 357 + 34.6Z
34.6Z = 400 - 357
34.6Z = 43
Z = 43/34.6
Z = 1.24
a. How much safety stock is currently being held?
= 1.243 × 34.6
= 43 units
b. What Cycle Service Level is currently being supported?
Since the value of Z = 1.243, then, the service level from the service table will be: = 89.5%
c. If a 95% CSL is desired, what reorder point should be used?
This will be:
=(17 × 21) + (1.645 × 34.6)
= 357 + 56.917
= 413.917
= 414 units
d. If the annual holding cost is 20% of item cost and the item costs $12/unit, what is the cost of safety stock inventory based on a 95% CSL?
First, we need to know the average inventory for the 95% service level which will be:
= Safety stock / 2
= (1.645 × 34.6) / 2
= 28.46 units
The cost of safety stock inventory will be:
= Average inventory × Item cost × Holding cost
= 28.46 × 12 × 20%
= $68.30

Answer:
can be combined since consumers' purchase decisions are often made on the basis of both rational and emotional motives.
Explanation:
Marketing can be defined as the process of developing promotional techniques and sales strategies by a firm, so as to enhance the availability of goods and services to meet the needs of the end users or consumers through advertising and market research.
Basically, it comprises of all the activities such as, identifying, anticipating set of medium and processes for creating, promoting, delivering, and exchanging goods and services that has value for customers. It typically involves understanding customer needs, building and maintaining healthy relationships with them in order to scale up your business.
Advertisement refers to the promotional multimedia messages designed and developed to make the products or services of a company known to its customers and potential customers. Also, it is generally considered to be one-sided because it focuses on painting a brand as the best and devoid of any negative issue.
Rational and emotional advertising appeals can be combined since consumers' purchase decisions are often made on the basis of both rational and emotional motives.
Buying motive refers to the considerations, urge, emotions or influences that creates the impulse in consumers (customers) to buy a particular good, so as to satisfy their desire or needs.
This ultimately implies that, behind every purchase made by a consumer, there's a consideration, urge or feeling to satisfy that desire or needs l, this is generally referred to as buying motive.
In Economics, buying motives are classified into five (5) main categories and these include;
I. Acquired and Inherent buying motives.
II. Conscious and Dormant buying motives.
III. Physical, Psychological and Sociological buying motives.
IV. Primary and Selective buying motives.
V. Rational and Emotional buying motives.
A rational buying motive is typically based on the consumer's logical and economical consideration of a product in terms of price, durability, need, quality, etc. Thus, it involves a careful consideration of a product rather than feelings as in emotional buying motive.

Explanation:
a company product sells for 170 and has variable cost of 50 associated with the product what is its contribution margin per unit ?
Answer:
Contribution margin per unit = 120 per unit
Explanation:
Given:
Sales price of a unit = 170
Variable cost per unit = 50
Find:
Contribution margin per unit
Computation:
Contribution margin per unit = Sales price of a unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution margin per unit = 170 - 50
Contribution margin per unit = 120 per unit
Contribution margin ratio = [Contribution margin per unit / Sales price of a unit]100
Contribution margin ratio = [120 / 170]100
Contribution margin ratio = [0.7058]100
Contribution margin ratio = 70.58% (Approx.)

You’ve had a good run as manager for a leading brand of leave-in conditioner. The product performs better than competition in taming frizzy hair, and has long commanded a premium price based on an attribute-based positioning. But now you’re nervous. There’s been a gradual but steady decline in sales over the past three quarters. Denise, a new member on the marketing research team, has presented you with information that suggests two possible causes. - First, beauty magazines and salon publications wrote repeatedly last year about a shift to free-flowing, natural styles. These styles work best with products that don’t leave residue on hair. You know that secondary data isn’t always ideal, but these stories were consistent and voluminous. - Second, recent focus groups run by Denise complained that your price is too high. Like all focus groups, these included only a small number of people, but the participants were loyal customers. Neither source is perfect, and the information you have is far from conclusive. But there’s nothing else to go on for now. Top management is under pressure from investors and anxious to take action, but wants to make sure the company is set up for long-term success. You can’t effectively address both issues at once, so you must decide which one is more likely to be causing the sales decrease.
A) Styling change.
B) Price.
Answer:
The issue that is more likely to be causing the sales decrease is:
Styling change.
This is the issue that should be addressed immediately. In addressing this issue, consideration should be paid to the price issue since any production shift to meet customers' styling change will reduce the production of the leave-in conditioner.
Explanation:
Identified Problem:

Causes;

After successfully completing your corporate finance class, you feel the next challenge ahead is to serve on the board of directors of Schenkel Enterprises. Unfortunately, you will be the only individual voting for you. a.If the company has 430,000 shares outstanding and the stock currently sells for $45, how much will it cost you to buy a seat if the company uses straight voting
Answer:
$9,675,045
Explanation:
In order to win the election of the board of directors, voting powers should have half a of the voting power and one vote.
Calculating the cost incurred to buy the voting power:
Total cost = [Number of shares / 2 + 1] * Stock price
Total cost = [430,000/2 + 1] * $45
Total cost = 215,001 * $45
Total cost = $9,675,045
So, it will cost one $9,675,045 to buy a seat if the company uses straight voting.

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.
This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.
Generally, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;
1. Perfect information.
2. No barriers, it is typically free.
3. Equilibrium price and quantity.
4. Many buyers and sellers.
5. Homogeneous products.
Examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market.
Perfectly competitive firms always strive to maximize profits by increasing their level of output, such that P = MC.
In a nutshell, in the long run equilibrium P = MR = MC.
Where;
P is the profit.
MR is the marginal revenue.
MC is the marginal cost.

Two best friends, Thelma and Louise, are making long-range plans for a road trip vacation to Mexico. They will embark on this adventure in five years and want to invest during the five-year period to earn money for the trip. They decide to purchase a $1,000 Grand Canyon Oil Company bond with an annual coupon rate of 10 percent with interest to be paid semiannually. The bond will mature in five years. The YTM of similar bonds is 8 percent. How much should they be willing to pay for the bond if they purchase it today
Answer:
Bond Price= $1,081.1
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Face value= $1,000
Number of periods= 5*2= 10 semesters
Coupon= (0.1/2)*1,000= $50
YTM= 0.08/2= 0.04
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 50*{[1 - (1.04^-10)] / 0.04} + [1,000 / (1.04^10)]
Bond Price= 405.54 + 675.56
Bond Price= $1,081.1

In the short run or in shorter time periods supply curves tend to:_______
a) be perfectly elastic
b) be more inelastic than supply curves that apply to longer periods of time
c) be more elastic than supply curves that apply to longer periods of time
d) have a price elasticity of supply that's approximately equal to 1
Answer:
b) be more inelastic than supply curves that apply to longer periods of time.
Explanation:
In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply. In order to understand both short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy move from short to long run, we need the aggregate supply and aggregate demand model.
Aggregate supply (AS) refers to the total quantity of output (goods and services) that firms are willing to produce and sell at a given price in an economy at a particular period of time.
An aggregate supply curve gives the relationship between the aggregate price level for goods or services and the quantity of aggregate output supplied in an economy at a specific period of time.
In the short run or in shorter time periods supply curves tend to be more inelastic than supply curves that apply to longer periods of time.
This ultimately implies that, a rightward shift in the aggregate supply (AS) curve causes output to increase and result in a price fall (lower price), in the short run.
However, in the long-run or in longer time periods, supply curves tend to be fairly elastic than supply curves that apply to shorter periods of time.
