Complete Question:
LVN Corporation's direct labor costs and related information for the month of June were as follows:
500 Actual total direct labor-hours
1000 Standard total direct labor-hours
Total direct labor cost $16,500
Unfavorable direct labor rate (rate) variance $600
What is LVN Corporation's direct labor efficiency variance?
A. $16,500 unfavorable
B. $7950 unfavorable
C. $7950 favorable
D. $16,500 favorable
Answer:
$7,950 Unfavorable
Explanation:
As we know that:
"Labor Efficiency Variance = (Actual Labor Hours Worked for Actual Production − Standard Hours for Actual Production) * Standard Rate"
If we consider the parenthesis elements in the formula, we can decide whether the variance is favorable or adverse. If the actual labor hours worked are more than the budget (standard hours for actual production) then the variance (difference) is adverse because greater the hours worked for same level of activity (Production Units) the greater is the labor cost. Hence the variance would be adverse and vice versa.
Here
Actual Hours Worked for actual production are 1,000 Hours
Actual total labor cost is $16,500
Standard Hours Worked for actual production are 500 Hours
Standard rate per hour is $15.9 per Hour (Step 1)
By putting values, we have:
Direct Labor Efficiency Variance = (1000 Hrs - 500 Hrs) * $15.9 per hour
= (1000 - 500) * $15.9 per share
= $7,950 Unfavorable
Step1: Find Standard Labor RateWe can find the standard labor rate using the following labor rate variance formula:
Labor Rate Variance = (Standard Rate per Hour * Actual Hours Worked) − (Actual Rate per Hour * Actual Hours Worked)
Here
(Actual Rate per Hour * Actual Hours Worked) is total labor cost which is $16,500
Actual Hours Worked is 1000 Hours
Labor Rate Variance is ($600)
By putting values, we have:
($600) = (1000 Hours * Standard Labor Rate) - $16,500
($600) + $16,500 = 1000 Hours * Standard Labor Rate
$15,900 = 1000 Hours * Standard Labor Rate
Standard Labor Rate = $15,900 / 1000 Hours = $15.9 per hour

It entered into the following purchases and sales transactions for March Date Activities Units Sold at Cost Units Sold at Retal Mar. 1 Beginning 130 units $51.60 per unit 2 inventory Mar. 5 Purchase 240 units $56.60 per unit Mar. 9 Sales 290 units $86.60 per unit Mar. 18 Purchase 100 units $61.60 per unitMar. 25 Purchase 180 units $63.60 per unitMar. 29 Sales 160 units a $96.60 per unit Totals 650 units 450 units. Compute gross profit earned by the company for each of the four costing methods. For specific identification, the March 9 sale consisted of 80 units from beginning inventory and 210 units from the March 5 purchase; the March 29 sale consisted of 60 units from the March 18 purchase and 100 units from the March 25 purchase.Gross Margin FIFO LIFO Avg. Cost Spec. IDSales Less: Cost of goods sold 25,220.00 26,340.00 25,679.60 26,070.00Gross profit LIFO
Answer:
Gross profit under LIFO = $40,570 - $26,340 = $14,230
Gross profit under FIFO = $40,570 - $24,520 = $16,050
Gross profit under average cost = $40,570 - $26,238.46 = $14,331.54
Gross profit under specific ID = $40,570 - $26,070 = $14,500
Explanation:
I divided the purchases and sales:
Mar. 1 Beginning 130 units $51.60 per unit
Mar. 5 Purchase 240 units $56.60 per unit
Mar. 18 Purchase 100 units $61.60 per unit
Mar. 25 Purchase 180 units $63.60 per unit
Totals 650 units, $37,900
Mar. 9 Sales 290 units $86.60 per unit
Mar. 29 Sales 160 units a $96.60 per unit
Totals 450 units. $40,570
COGS under LIFO:
(240 x $56.60) + (50 x $51.60) = $16,164
160 x $63.60 = $10,176
total = $26,340
COGS under FIFO:
(160 x $56.60) + (130 x $51.60) = $15,764
(110 x $56.60) + (50 x $61.60) = $8,756
total = $24,520
COGS under average cost:
($37,900 / 650) x (290 + 160) = $26,238.46
COGS under specific ID:
(80 x $51.60 ) + (210 x $56.60) = $16,014
(60 x $61.60) + (100 x $63.60) = $10,056
total = $26,070

Solvency Ratios measure the ability of the company to pay its maturing long-term debt obligations from its assets.
n an open economy, why is the supply curve for dollars in the foreign-currency exchange market vertical?
Answer:
In an open economy, the supply curve for dollars in the foreing-currency exhange market is vertical, because the supply does not depend on the exchange currency rate.
The supply of dollars in an open economy depends on the interest rate, which is determined by the difference between imports and exports (which is the same as the difference between purchases and sales of foreign capital).
Which costs of inflation could the government take action to reduce without reducing inflation?
a. shoeleather cost
b. unintended changes in tax liablities
c. menu costs
d. none of the above is correct
Answer:
The correct answer will be Option b (unintended changes in tax liabilities).
Explanation:
Government should minimize the inevitable increases in tax liabilities, besides obvious reasons adjusted for inflation, earnings will increase, but mostly individuals will indeed be healthier and more productive income level and might have to pay more in taxes. The objective is to reduce this, thereby directly increasing the chances of inflation or unemployment.Some other alternatives offered are not in relation to the condition in question. So Choice b has been the appropriate one.

As chief engineer for a small manufacturing firm, you are considering whether to invest $40,000 in a new piece of equipment that will save $3000 annually in operating costs. If the equipment has an expected lifetime of 20 years and a salvage value of $12,000, is this an attractive investment at an interest rate of 6%? Why or why not?
Answer:
NPV = ($1,848.57)
Explanation:
The NPV is the difference between the PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.
NPV of an investment:
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
Initial cost = 40,000
Salvage value = 12,000
Savings in operating cost = 3,000
PV of annual savings : 3000× (1- 1.06^-20)/0.06 =34,409.76
PV of salvage value = 12,000 × 1.06^(-20)=3,741.65
Total PV of cash inflow 34,409.76 + 3,741.65= 38,151.42
NPV = 38,151.42038 - 40,000 = $(1,848.57)
The project should not be implemented because it would delete the shareholders wealth by $1,848.57
NPV = ($1,848.57)
g A farmer is preparing to plant corn and expects to deliver his crop to the market in 1 year. The yield on US t-bills is 3.7% and it costs 0.2% to store corn for 1 year. If the spot price of corn is $3.07/bushel today, what price can the farmer expect to lock in with a 1 year futures contract
Answer:
$3.19208 per bushel
Explanation:
As we know that:
Future Price = Spot rate * e ^[(Rf + Storage Cost)*T]
Here
Future price is the price that the farmer wants to lock with a 1 year future contract
Spot rate is the price of corn today which is $3.07 per bushel
Rf is the risk free rate of return which is 3.7%
The incremental storage cost is 0.2% to store a single bushel of corn
T is the number of years which is 1 year in this case
By putting values, we have:
Future Price = $3.07 per bushel * e^[(3.7% + 0.2%)*1 year]
Future Price = $3.19208 per bushel

Mark Stan elects to receive his retirement benefit over 20 years at the rate of 2,000 per month beginning one month from now. The monthly benefit increases by 5% each year. At a nominal interest rate of 6% convertible monthly, calculate the present value of the retirement benefit.
Answer:
$419,253
Explanation:
we must find the present value of a growing annuity:
present value = [monthly payment / (i - g)] x [1 - [(1 + g)ⁿ x (1 + i)⁻ⁿ]
monthly payment = $2,000 i = (1 + 0.06/12)¹² - 1 = 0.061678 / 12 = 0.005139833 g = 5% / 12 = 0.004166667 n = 20 x 12 = 240present value = [$2,000 / (0.00514 - 0.00416)] x [1 - [(1 + 0.00416)²⁴⁰ x (1 + 0.00514)⁻²⁴⁰] = $2,040,816 x [1 - (2.7083 x 0.293) = $2,040,816 x (1 - 0.794566) = $419,252.99 = $419,253
A company issues 5%, 12-year bonds with a face amount of $70,000 for $64,070 on January 1, 2021. The market interest rate for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 6%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31.
Required:
Record the bond issue and first interest payment on June 30, 2021.
Answer:
Date Particular Debit Credit
Jan 1, 2021 Cash $64,700
Discount on bond payable $5,930
Bond payable $70,000
Jun 30,2021 Interest expense $3,882
Discount on bonds payable $2,132
Cash $1,750
Workings:
Semi annual interest payment = 70,000 x 5% x 6/12
= $1,750
Interest expense on June 30, 2021 = Carrying value of bonds x Market interest rate
= 64,700 x 6%
= $3,882
Discount on bonds payable amortized on June 30, 2021 = Interest expense - Interest payment
= 3,882 - 1,750
= $2,132
"John is a registered representative who has discretionary options accounts for 25 of his largest customers. John likes the news coming out of ABCD Corporation and decides to buy ABCD calls for some of his clients. He buys 30,000 ABCD call contracts each for 10 out of the 25 discretionary accounts that he manages. The position limit for ABCD is 250,000 contracts on each side of the market. Which statement is TRUE?"
Answer: This is a violation of position limits
Explanation:
When checking to see if there has been a violation of control limits, all the accounts managed by a single entity or all accounts under common control will be added up instead of being evaluated on an individual basis.
John manages 25 accounts out of which he bought calls for 10. He bought 30,000 for each of the 10 which would mean that he bought 300,000 call contracts.
This exceeds the 250,000 contract limit so is a violation of position limits.

Globus Autos sells a single product. 8,300 units were sold resulting in $84,000 of sales revenue, $24,000 of variable costs, and $18,000 of fixed costs. If Globus reduces the selling price by $1.10 per unit, the new margin of safety is: (Round any intermedary calculations to the nearest cent.) A. 2,872 units B. 8,300 units C. 5,364 units D. 5,428 units
Answer:
Margin of safety= 5,364 units
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units:
Selling price= 84,000/8,300= $10.12
Unitary variable cost= $2.89
New selling price= 10.12 - 1.1= $9.02
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 18,000 / (9.02 - 2.89)
Break-even point in units= 2,936 units
Now, the margin of safety:
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= 8,300 - 2,936
Margin of safety= 5,364 units

A deferred tax valuation allowance account is used to recognize a reduction in the potential benefit due to:
Answer: deferred tax
Explanation: A deferred tax valuation allowance account is used to recognize a reduction in a deferred tax asset which represents the increase in taxes saved in future years as a result of a temporary deductible differences and carryforwards. This usually can result in a change in taxes payable or refundable in future periods and as a consequence, a deferred tax valuation allowance account is created if there is a greater probability that the business will not realize some portion of the asset.
Gelb Company currently manufactures 42,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $6.25 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $87,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $84,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.70 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 42,000 units and buying 42,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier?
Answer:
It is more convenient to buy the component.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 42,000 units
Variable costs are $6.25 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $87,000 per year
The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.70 per unit.
We will take into account only the incremental costs.
Make in-house:
Total cost= 87,000 + 6.25*42,000
Total cost= $349,500

Total cost= 3.7*42,000= $155,400
It is more convenient to buy the component.
The unauthorized use of intellectual property is called a. royalties. b. international franchising. c. foreign licensing. d. counterfeit activity.
Answer:
Option D: Counterfeit activity
Explanation:
Counterfeiting activities refer to the wide range of activities that violate the intellectual property rights of individuals. They range from illegal product duplication to piracy and illegal production and sale of a patented product.
Counterfeiting does not only harm the Intellectual property owner, it also affects the nation. This is because counterfeiting activities discourage creators from investing time and other resources to create novel products for the market that can boost the economy.
The other options are not correct. They mean the following:
Royalties refer to the sum of money that is paid to patent holders over the use f their products.
International franchising refers to the process of given permission to individuals around the world to operate and do business under your brand name, under strict adherence to certain codes of conduct
foreign licensing refers to is the agreement between two companies to sell each other's products outside their home country.

g A company has an overhead application rate of 160% and allocates overhead based on direct material cost. During the current period, direct labor cost is $50,000 and direct materials used cost $80,000. Determine the amount of overhead Lowden Company should record in the current period. Group of answer choices
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $128,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Predetermined overhead rate= 160% of direct material cost.
Actual direct material= $80,000

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.6*80,000
Allocated MOH= $128,000
The following expenditures are related to land, land improvements, and buildings, which were acquired on November 1, 2013.Cost of real estate acquired for a new manufacturing plant 365000The land is appraised for 262,800 and the building for 102,200Real estate taxes paid by the purchaser 20,000Cost of removing barn 8,500Architect fees for updating building 6750Attorneys fees for closing sale 12500Grading land 3500paving parking lot 7000planting trees and shrubs 9250cost of repairs to building due to storm 1300lights placed on driveway 4750fee to real estate broker 25001: Determine the cost of the land, the building and the improvements (Round to the nearest dollar)2: Prepare journal entries on December 31, 2013 for depreciation assuming the building will have a useful life of 20 years and no residual value. Use double declining balance method and the half-year convention. 3: Depreciate the land improvements using straight-line method, a 5 year life, to the nearest month with zero residual value (to the nearest dollar).
Answer:
1) there is no fixed formula for allocating land costs, specially since you should try to allocate more costs to the building or other depreciable assets than to land, but the IRS is not allowing this anymore. In some places, it is not accepting the old 80/20 rule or even a 60/40 rule for allocating costs, instead it is requiring costs to be allocated based on a professional appraisal.
cost of land:
appraisal value = $262,800real estate taxes = ($262,800 / $365,000) x $20,000 = $14,400fee to real estate broker = ($262,800 / $365,000) x $2,500 = $1,800cost of removing barn = $8,500attorney's fees for closing sale = ($262,800 / $365,000) x $12,500 = $9,000grading land = $3,500total cost of land = $300,000cost of building:

Answer:
The future economic concerns of other countries will differ from those of the United States, mainly according to the degree of economic development of each nation. Thus, for example, countries like Germany or Canada, which have an economic development similar to that of the United States, will have economic and socioeconomic concerns quite similar to the United States (rational use of natural resources, redistribution of income, efficient allocation of public resources, etc.).
On the other hand, less developed nations such as those of Africa, Haiti or Cuba, for example, will have different concerns, such as guaranteeing access to water, food and sanitation for all their inhabitants, or generating foreign investments that provide jobs for their residents.

In the short run, an increase in the aggregate price level caused by a shift in the aggregate demand curve first causes:
Answer: b. movement along SRAS
Explanation:
When the price level changes due to an increase in the demand that forces the Aggregate demand curve to shift rightward, the immediate effect would be that the Aggregate demand curve would intersect the Short Run Aggregate supply at a new point.
This new point will see a movement along the SRAS from its previous equilibrium point to the new equilibrium intersection point with the AD curve. In other words, the new point will be on the same SRAS curve just moving from one point to another.

Which of the following is always true:
A) Diluted weighted shares is always less than or equal to basic weighted average shares
B) Diluted weighted shares is always greater than or equal to basic weighted average shares
C) Shares outstanding on the period end date is the value used to calculate Basic EPS
D) Shares outstanding on the period end date is the value used to calculate Diluted EPS
Answer:
B) Diluted weighted shares is always greater than or equal to basic weighted average shares
Explanation:
Basic Earnings per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks
Diluted Earnings per Share includes the Potential voting rights in the calculation of Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks and thus its weighted shares is always greater than or equal to basic weighted average shares.
Earnings per Share used Weighted Shares Outstanding at Period End instead of just Outstanding Shares at Period End.
