Swain company manufactures one product, it does not maintain any beginning or ending inventories, and its uses a standard cost system. the company's beginning balance in retained earnings is $65,000. it sells one product for $170 per unit and it generated total sales during the period of $603,500 while incurring selling and administrative expenses of $54,500. swain company does not have any variable manufacturing overhead costs and its standard cost card for its only product is as follows:
Answer:
Budgeted COGS = $134 x 3,550 units = $479,250
Actual COGS = $482,151.42, so the total variance was $2,901.42 U
Swain Company
Income statement
Total revenue $603,500
COGS: ($482,151.42)
Direct materials $217,925.67Direct labor $14,300.75Fixed overhead $249,925Gross profit $121,348.58
S&A expenses ($54,500)
Net profit $66,848.58
Retained earnings = $65,000 + $66,848.58 = $131,848.58
Explanation:
retained earnings $65,000
total sales $603,500
number of units sold = $603,500 / $170 per unit = 3,550 units
selling and administrative expenses $54,500
materials quantity variance = (actual quantity - standard quantity) x standard price = $9,250 favorable. This means that the company used fewer materials than budgeted: -$9,250 = (actual quantity - 24,850) x $9
actual quantity used = (-$9,250 / $9) + 24,850 pounds = 23,822.22 pounds less
materials price variance = (actual cost - standard cost) x units purchased = $3,525 U. This means that the company paid $3,525 more for materials than it had estimated: $3,525 = (actual cost - $9) x 23,822.22 pounds
actual cost = ($3,525 / 23,822.22 pounds) + $9 = $9.148 per pound
*the only way 2 labor hurs x standard cost = $1, is that standard cost = $0.50
labor efficiency variance = (actual hours - standard hours) x standard rate = $6,725 = (actual hours - 7,100) x $0.50:
actual hours = ($6,725 / $0.50) + 7,100 = 20,550 hours
labor rate variance = actual hours x (actual rate - standard rate) = $4,025 = 7,660.42 hours x (actual rate - $12):
actual rate = ($4,025 / 20,550 hours) + $0.50 = $0.6959
fixed overhead budget variance = actual fixed overhead - budgeted overhead = $1,425 U = actual fixed overhead - $248,500:
actual fixed overhead = $248,500 + $1,425 = $249,925
actual fixed overhead per unit = $249,925 / 3,550 = $70.4014
fixed overhead volume variance = (actual hours - standard hours) x actual fixed overhead per unit = -$6,000 F = (actual hours - 3.5 hours) x $70.4014:
actual overhead hours = (-$6,000 / $70.4014) + 12,425 hours = -85.23 + 12,425 = 12,339.77 hours
Businesses in the nation of Islandia have been accumulating cash because they have a pessimistic outlook of the national economy. Recent changes in the economic outlook of Islandia have caused business leaders to begin to invest some of their accumulated cash. Suppose that businesses in the country invest a total of $20 billion of this cash. (a) What would be the maximum expected change in GDP if Islandia's marginal propensity toconsume (MPC) is 0.75? (b) Suppose that the recent economic outlook in the country of Mountainia has been the opposite.Businesses have postponed planned investments and have begun to accumulate cash. Ifbusinesses in Mountainia postpone $10 billion of their planned investments, what would be themaximum expected change in GDP if its marginal propensity to save (MPS) is 0.25?
Answer:
Please see answer and explanation below.
Explanation:
A. Since MPC is 0.75, therefore MPS would be 0.25 (i.e 1-MPC, 1-0.75)
The multiplier will now be(1/MPS) 1/0.25=4
It therefore follows that if investment increases $20billion, aggregate demand will also increase by $80billion(i.e 20 × 4). This means $60billion in consumption and $20billion in investment.
B. Since MPS is 0.25, Multiplier would therefore be 1/0.25(1/MPS) = 4
It therefore follows that if $10billion planned investments is postponed, the aggregate demand would decrease by $40billion( i.e 10 × 4 )
Meaning that there would be $30billion in consumption and $10billion in investment.
Only 3 days after the attacks of 9-11, Northwestern Mutual began providing death benefits to surviving families of the first responders who were killed in the line of duty, although official death certificates had not yet been issued. Other insurance companies took months to a full year to process similar claims for their customers.

Empathy is the ability of a person of business entity to understand the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of their customers. It is the ability to personalise the customer's situation.
This makes the business go the extra mile in solving the customer's problem.
In this scenario Northwestern mutual felt the pain and understood the financial needs of the families of first responders during the 9-11 attack.
So without official death certificates they paid death benefits only 3 days after the attacks.
Other insurance companies however did not empathise with their customers and only paid death benefits some months to a year.

Since payment was made to Landon Jewelers within the 15 days grace, 3% deduction will be applicable to the payment.
Therefore Sales discount would be ;

=$210
Balance paid in cash would be;
=$7,000 - $210
=$6,790
Journal entry for cost of goods sold would be;
Dr Cash $6,790
Dr Sales discount $210
Cr Accounts Receivable $7,000
