Explanation / Answer

1. Credit Sales of September = 240000 x 0.80 = $192000

Amount collectible from debtors in September = 192000 x 0.70 = $134400

2. Cash manufacturing expenses of May = 195200 - 28800 = $166400

Cash manufacturing expenses of June = 217600 - 28800 = $188800

Cash Payment of manufacturing expenses in June = [166400/4] + [188800x3/4]

= $183200

3. Direct Material Price Variance = (Standard Price - Actual Price) x Actual Quantity

= (6 - 5.5) x 4600

= $2300 Favorable

4. Direct Material Quantity Variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) x Standard Price

= (4500 - 4600) x 6

= $600 Unfavorable.
