To determine

Fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate of the year.

Introduction: Fixed overhead volume variances mean a measure that defines the difference between budgeted fixed overhead costs and actual cost of fixed overhead costs. This explains the units produced based on the standard hours allowed and standard fixed rate.

Answer to Problem 10A.1E

  Fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate=Fixed overhead Budgeted standard direct labor hourFixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate= 250,00025,000=10

Explanation of Solution

  Budgeted variances = Actual fixed overhead -Budgeted fixed overheadBudgeted variances = 254,000-250,000Budgeted variances = 4,000U

To determine

Fixed overhead budget variance and volume variance.

Introduction: Fixed overhead volume variances mean a measure that defines the difference between budgeted fixed overhead costs and actual cost of fixed overhead costs. This explains the units produced based on the standard hours allowed and standard fixed rate.

Answer to Problem 10A.1E

  Fixed overhead volume varinace = [Budgeted fixed overhead for actual outputs - Standard fixed overhead allocated to production] 

  Fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate=Fixed overhead Budgeted standard direct labor hourFixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate= 250,00025,000=10

Budgeted variances is $4,000U and volume variances is $10,000F

Explanation of Solution

  Volume varinace = [( Fixed portion of predetermined overhead rate) ×(Budgeted standard direct labor hour -standard hours allowed)]Volume varinace = 10× (25,000-26,000)Volume varinace = 10,000F

Suppose you take out a five-year car loan for $14000, paying an annual interest rate of 4%. You make monthly payments of $258 for this loan. Complete the table below as you pay off the loan.

Suppose you take out a five-year car loan for $12000, paying an annual interest rate of 3%. You make monthly payments of $216 for this loan. mocars Getting started (month 0): Here is how the process works. When you buy the car, right at month 0, you owe the full $12000. Applying the 3% interest to this (3% is "3 per $100" or "0.03 per $1"), you would owe 0.03*$12000 = $360 for the year. Since this is a monthly loan, we divide this by 12 to find the interest payment of $30 for the month. You pay $216 for the month, so $30 of your payment goes toward interest (and is never seen again...), and (216-30) = $186 pays down your loan. (Month 1): You just paid down $186 off your loan, so you now owe $11814 for the car. Using a similar process, you would owe 0.03* $11814 = $354.42 for the year, so (dividing by 12), you owe $29.54 in interest for the month. This means that of your $216 monthly payment, $29.54 goes toward interest and $186.46 pays down your loan. The values from above are included…
Suppose you have an investment account that earns an annual 9% interest rate, compounded monthly. It took $500 to open the account, so your opening balance is $500. You choose to make fixed monthly payments of $230 to the account each month. Complete the table below to track your savings growth. Months Amount in account (Principal) 9% Interest gained (Remember to divide by 12 for monthly interest) Monthly Payment 1 2 3 $500 $230 $230 $230 $230 + $230 $230 10 6 $230 $230 8 9 $230 $230 10 $230 11 $230 12 What is the total amount gained in interest over this first year of this investment plan?
