Question

A company is considering the purchase of new equipment for $48,000. The projected annual net cash flows are $20,100. The machine has a useful life of 3 years and no salvage value. Management of the company requires a 11% return on investment. The present value of an annuity of 1 for various periods follows:

    

   

$16,000

$3,100

$1,118

$19,100

$46,675

If budgeted beginning inventory is $8,950, budgeted ending inventory is $10,180, and budgeted cost of goods sold is $10,910, budgeted purchases should be:

$9,680

$1,230

$12,140

$1,960

$730

Georgia, Inc. has collected the following data on one of its products. The direct materials price variance is:

  

$36,250 favorable.

$60,000 unfavorable.

$23,750 unfavorable.

$55,750 favorable.

$36,250 unfavorable.

Georgia, Inc. has collected the following data on one of its products. The direct materials price variance is:

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

1)

Correct Answer is Net Present Value $1,118

Net Present Value = Present Value of Cash Flows – Initial Investment (Present Value of Cash Outflow)

= ($20,100 x 2.4437) - $48,000

= $49,118 - $48,000

= $1,118

2)

Budgeted Purchases = $12,140

Here is the calculation:

Beginning Inventory + Budgeted Purchases – Ending Inventory = Cost of Goods Sold

$8,950 + Budgeted Purchases - $10,180 = $10,910

Budgeted Purchases = $10,910 + 1,230 = $12,140

3)

Material Price Variance = $36,250 favorable

Here is the calculation and working.

Total Direct Material Cost Variance = Material Price Variance + Material Quantity Variance

In this equation we can easily calculate Material Quantity Variance because all the related information are present in the question.

Material Quantity Variance = Standard Price (Standard Quantity for Actual Production - Actual Quantity Used)

Standard Quantity for Actual Production = Actual Units produced x Standard Quantity needed for 1 unit = 30,000*3 lbs = 90,000 lbs

Material Quantity Variance = $2 (90,000 – 120,000) = $60,000 unfavorable

Hence,

Material Price Variance + Material Quantity Variance = Total Direct Material Cost Variance

Material Price Variance + $60,000 Unfavorable = $23,750 Unfavorable

Unfavorable can be shown with minus (-) sign

Material Price Variance - $60,000 = - $23,750

Material Price Variance = -$23,750 + $60,000

Material Price Variance = $36,250 favorable
