Explanation:
Jordan Industries produced 6,000 units of product that required 1.5 standard hours per unit. The standard variable overhead cost per unit is $2.75 per hour. The actual variable factory overhead was $29,000. Determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance.
Answer:
$4,250 unfavorable
Explanation:
For the computation of variable factory overhead controllable variance first we need to determine the standard variable factory overhead which is shown below:-
Standard variable factory overhead is
= 6,000 units × 1.5 standard hours per unit × $2.75 per hour
= $24,750
Variable factory overhead controllable variance = Actual variable factory overhead - standard variable factory overhead
= $29,000 - $24,750
= $4,250 unfavorable
Therefore we applied the above formula.

In Appellia, it takes 10 units of resources to increase its output of sugar from 12 tons to 13 tons, but 11 units of resources to increase output from 13 tons to 14 tons, and 12 units of resources to increase output from 14 tons and 15 tons, and so on. The need for increasing resources is an example of
Answer:
diminishing returns to specialization
Explanation:
The law of diminising returns states that with each additional unit of input used in the production process, there will be a point at which additional unit of input will result in less output. Marginal output starts to decrease.
In the given scenario it takes 10 units of resources to increase its output of sugar from 12 tons to 13 tons, but 11 units of resources to increase output from 13 tons to 14 tons, and 12 units of resources to increase output from 14 tons and 15 tons.
There is need of 10 units of input to increase one unit of output, then we need 11 units to do the same, and finally 12 units to increase output by 1.
This is an example of how input increase loses efficacy and it is an example of diminishing returns to specialization.
The cost method that will yield an ending inventory that is closer to current prices is the a.FIFO inventory cost method. b.LIFO inventory cost method. c.specific identification inventory cost method. d.weighted average inventory cost method.
Answer: a.FIFO inventory cost method
Explanation: The First-In-First-Out inventory costing method involves applying the price associated with the oldest inventory purchase to goods sold. When the FIFO inventory method is used, when the number of goods purchased for the oldest inventory is exhausted, the cost of goods sold is then associated with the next oldest inventory. With these cost inventory method, the ending inventory always moves closer to the current prices of goods since the older inventory cost is applied first.

Your accountant tells you that if you can continue to earn the current interest rate on your balance of $750 for the next three years, you will have $944.78 in your account. If your accountant is correct, then what is the current interest rate
Answer: 8%
Explanation:
current balance = $750
Period = 3years
Final amount at the end of the third year = $944.78
Rate =?
Using the compound interest formula :
A = P( 1 + r/n)^nt
Where : A= final amount plus interest
P = principal amount
r = interest rate
t = period
n = number of compounding periods per year = 1
A = P( 1 + r)^t
944.78 = 750(1 + r)^3
Divide both side by 750
944.78/750 = (1+r)^3
1.2597 = (1+r)^3
Take the cube root of both sides
1.07999 = 1+r
r = 1.07999 - 1
r = 0.07999
r = (0.07999) * 100%
r = 7.999% = 8%

Loan X has a principal of $10,000x and a yearly simple interest rate of 4%. Loan Y has a principal of $10,000y and a yearly simple interest rate of 8%. Loans X and Y will be consolidated to form Loan Z with a principal of $(10,000x + 10,000y) and a yearly simple interest rate of r%, where r = (4x+8y)/(x+y). In the table, select a value for x and a value for y corresponding to a yearly simple interest rate of 5% for the consolidated loan. Make only two selections, one in each column.
..........X..........Y..........Value
(A)..............................21
(B)..............................32
(C)..............................51
(D)..............................64
(E)..............................81
(F)..............................96
Answer:
X = 96 and Y = 32
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
X amount = 4%
Y amount = 8%
Now based on this the equation is
r = (4x + 8y) ÷ (x+y)
Now put 5% at the rate place
The x and y is
5 = (4x + 8y) ÷ (x + y)
5x + 5y = 4x + 8y
x = 3y
Now looking the options as we can see that if X = 96 so Y would be 32
Therefore X = 96 and Y = 32

Answer:
The margin call will be $6,000.
Explanation:
Since there is no debit balance in the customer's margin account, it implies that the customer is not owing the broker on margin. The additional purchase of the 100 shares of XYZ necessitates the margin call by the broker for the customer to fund his margin account by paying additional funds worth $6,000 to cover the purchase of XYZ shares by the broker on his behalf.
