So as per the given situation, the above statement should be true
1. Define equilibrium.
Answer:
In chemistry:
Chemical equilibrium is defined as the condition in the course of a reversible chemical reaction in which no net change in the amounts of reactants and products occurs
In physics:
Equilibrium is defined as the condition of a system when neither its state of motion nor its internal energy state tends to change with time.
A simple mechanical body is said to be in equilibrium if it experiences neither linear acceleration nor angular acceleration; unless it is disturbed by an outside force, it will continue in that condition indefinitely.
the condition of a system when neither its state of motion nor its internal energy state tends to change with time is called equilibrium.

Quality Motor Company is an auto repair shop that uses standards to control its labor time and labor cost. The standard labor cost for a motor tune-up is given below: Standard Hours Standard Rate Standard Cost Motor tune-up 2.50 $38.00 $95.00 The record showing the time spent in the shop last week on motor tune-ups has been misplaced. However, the shop supervisor recalls that 58 tune-ups were completed during the week, and the controller recalls the following variance data relating to tune-ups: Labor rate variance $ 450 F Labor spending variance $ 500 U Required: 1. Determine the number of actual labor-hours spent on tune-ups during the week. 2. Determine the actual hourly pay rate for tune-ups last week.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1
Labor efficiency variance = Labor spending variance+Labor rate variance
= $450 + $500
= $950U
Now as we know that
Labor efficiency variance = SR × (AH-SH)
950 = $38 × (AH - 58 × 2.50)
950 = $38 × (AH - 145)
25 = AH - 145
AH = 145 + 25
= 170
Actual labor hours = 170 hours
2
Labor rate variance = AH × (SR-AR)
450 = 170 × ($38 - AR)
2.65 = 38 - AR
AR = 38 - 2.65
= $35.35
Coomb's Fashions forecasts sales of $125,000 for the quarter ended December 31. Its gross profit rate is 20% of sales, and its September 30 inventory is $32,500. If the December 31 inventory is targeted at $41,500, budgeted purchases for this quarter should be:
Answer:
Total purchase= $109,000

Job order versus Process Costing Which of the following industries would typically use job order costing, and which would typically use process costing? Steel manufacturing Business consulting Web designer Computer chip manufacturing Candy making Designer clothes manufacturing
Answer:
Job order versus Process Costing
Industries using job order costing:
Business consulting
Web designer
Designer clothes manufacturing
Industries using process costing:
Steel manufacturing
Computer chip manufacturing

2.Dr Land $163,478
Dr r Land Improvement $54,493
Dr Building $145,314
Cr Cash $363,285
Explanation:
1. Calculation to Allocate the total cost among the three assets
First step is to Add up all expenditure costs Total Expenditure costs =$198,000+$66,000+$176,000
Total Expenditure costs =$440,000
Second step is to divide each expenditure up by the total amount
Land=($198,000/$440,000= 0.45)
Land improvement=($66,000/$440,000= 0.15)
Building=($176,000/$440,000= 0.40)
Now let Allocate the total cost among the three assets
Land=0.45* $363,285
Land = $163,478
Land improvement=0.15*$363,285
Land Improvement=$54,493
Building=0.40*$363,285
Building=$145,314
Total $363,285
($163,478+$54,493+$145,314)
Therefore the total allocation cost among the three assets is:
Land $163,478
Land Improvement $54,493
Building $145,314

Which of the following is an example of a functional structure? Multiple Choice Fred owns a diner and has three employees. Borrowit Lending has a business division and a consumer division. Shelter Semiconductors has offices in Berlin, Tokyo, Chicago, and London. Leopard Industries has a plastics group, an electronics group, and a transportation group. At Mark’s Furniture, all the carpenters are in one group, and all the upholsterers are in another.
Answer: At Mark’s Furniture, all the carpenters are in one group, and all the upholsterers are in another.
Explanation:
Functional structures refer to the grouping of company departments based on what the labor involved do for the company i.e. their functional expertise.
Mark's company is therefore using a functional structure because it groups its workforce by their functional expertise with carpenters in one group and upholsters in another.
Most companies follow this strategy which is why companies have departments such as accounting, human resources, marketing and production.
Other things the same , as the price level rises, the real value of money a. falls and the exchange rate rises. b. and the exchange rate fall. c. rises and the exchange rate falls. d. and the exchange rate rise.
Answer:
falls and the exchange rate fall.
Explanation:
Increase in general price level is referred to an inflation.
Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels
Types of inflation
1. demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise
2. cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect
When price level rises, the real value of money decreases
For example, imagine that price of an apple is $5. If you have $100, you can by 20 apples. If price level increases by 100%, $100 would only buy 10 apples. thus, the real value of money decreases
Also exchange rate falls. exchange rate is the rate at which one currency is exchanged for another currency
If price level increases, domestic currency would become cheaper. As a result, exchange rate falls

Answer:
b.$6,619.48 unfavorable
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the direct materials price variance
First step is to calculate the Total number of actual quantity used
Total number of actual quantity used = 9400×5.03
Total number of actual quantity = 47,282
Now let determine the Material price variance
Using this formula
Material price variance = ( Standard price - Actual price ) × Actual quantity used
Let plug in the morning
Material price variance= ( $1.90 - $2.04 ) × 47,282
Material price variance=-0.14×47,282
Material price variance = -$6,619.48 unfavorable
Therefore the direct materials price variance is
-$6,619.48 unfavorable

For the month of September, Florida, Inc., incurs a direct materials cost of $12,000 for 7,500 gallons of strawberry lemonade produced in its Mixing Department. It also incurs conversion costs of $6,000 with 80% completed. If the conversion cost per equivalent unit was $1.15 per gallon in August, what is the difference in the conversion cost per equivalent unit between the two months
Answer:
Florida, Inc.
The difference in the conversion cost per equivalent unit between the two months is:
= $0.15.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Direct materials cost = $12,000
Production units (gallons of strawberry lemonade) = 7,500
Conversion costs = $6,000
Degree of completion of conversion = 80%
Equivalent units of conversion = 6,000 (7,500 * 80%)
Therefore, the conversion cost per equivalent unit = $1.00 ($6,000/6,000)
The difference in the conversion cost per equivalent unit between the two months is $0.15 ($1.15 - $1.00)
