The correct answer is A.88.2. Productivity is projected to increase by 5% each year. Last year's productivity was 84, and with a growth rate of 5%, this year's productivity becomes 84 multiplied by (1+0.05), which calculates to 88.2.

The standard cost of product 5252 includes 1.90 hours of direct labor at $14.00 per hour. The predetermined overhead rate is $22
Free_Kalibri [3484]

Answer:

a. Overall labor variance $4,000 Unfavorable

Labor rate variance $1,200 Unfavorable

Labor efficiency variance $2,860 Unfavorable

b. $2,300 Favorable

Explanation:

a. The calculation of total, price, and quantity variances for labor is detailed below:

1. Total labor variance = (Produced units × Direct labor hours × Rate per hour) - (Actual direct labor hours × Average wage rate)

= (2,000 × 1.90 × $14.00) - (4,000 × $14.30)

= $53,200 - $57,200

= $4,000 Unfavorable

Labor price variance = (Hourly rate - Average rate) × Actual direct labor hours

= ($14.00 - $14.30) × 4,000

= -$0.3 × 4,000

= $1,200 Unfavorable

Labor quantity variance = (Produced units × Direct labor hours - Actual direct labor hours) × Hourly rate

= (2,000 × 1.90 - 4,000) × $14.30

= (3,800 - 4,000)  × $14.30

= -200 × $14.30

= $2,860 Unfavorable

b) Total overhead variance = Manufacturing overhead incurred - (Produced units × Direct labor hours × Predetermined overhead rate)

= $81,300 - (2,000 × 1.90 × $22.00)

= $81,300 - $83,600

= $2,300 Favorable

Katen [3220]

Answer:

a. What is the initial investment at t=0?

  • -$90,000

b. What is the Cash Flow at year 1?

  • $33,950

c. What is the Cash Flow at year 3?

  • $40,270

d. What is NPV?

  • $1,788.50

Explanation:

Initial investment amounts to $90,000

Annual depreciation calculated using straight-line depreciation method = $90,000 / 3 = $30,000

Year 1 cash flow = [($40,000 - $5,000 - $30,000) × 0.79] + $30,000 = $33,950

Year 2 cash flow = [($45,000 - $6,000 - $30,000) × 0.79] + $30,000 = $37,110

Year 3 cash flow = [($50,000 - $7,000 - $30,000) × 0.79] + $30,000 = $40,270

Using an Excel spreadsheet, I calculated the NPV = $1,788.50
