In March 2015, Daniela Motor Financing (DMF), offered some securities for sale to the public. Under the terms of the deal, DMF promised to repay the owner of one of these securities $10,000 in March 2050, but investors would receive nothing until then. Investors paid DMF $3,500 for each of these securities; so they gave up $3,500 in March 2015, for the promise of a $10,000 payment 35 years later.

a. Assuming you purchased the bond for $3,500, what rate of return would you earn if you held the bond for 35 years until it matured with a value $10,000? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Rate of return %

b. Suppose under the terms of the bond you could redeem the bond in 2025. DMF agreed to pay an annual interest rate of 1.3 percent until that date. How much would the bond be worth at that time? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Bond value $

c. In 2025, instead of cashing in the bond for its then current value, you decide to hold the bond until it matures in 2050. What annual rate of return will you earn over the last 25 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Rate of return %

Miller Toy Company manufactures a plastic swimming pool at its Westwood Plant. The plant has been experiencing problems as shown by its June contribution format income statement below:

Budgeted Actual
  Sales (5,000 pools) $ 235,000    $ 235,000   
    
  Variable expenses:      
     Variable cost of goods sold* 71,350    86,370   
     Variable selling expenses 13,000    13,000   
    
  Total variable expenses 84,350    99,370   
    
  Contribution margin 150,650    135,630   
    
  Fixed expenses:      
     Manufacturing overhead 62,000    62,000   
     Selling and administrative 77,000    77,000   
    
  Total fixed expenses 139,000    139,000   
    
  Net operating income (loss)    $ 11,650    $ (3,370)
    
*Contains direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.

Janet Dunn, who has just been appointed general manager of the Westwood Plant, has been given instructions to “get things under control.” Upon reviewing the plant’s income statement, Ms. Dunn has concluded that the major problem lies in the variable cost of goods sold. She has been provided with the following standard cost per swimming pool:

Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price
or Rate
Standard Cost
  Direct materials    3.8 pounds $ 2.20 per pound $ 8.36   
  Direct labor    0.7 hours $ 6.80 per hour    4.76   
  Variable manufacturing overhead    0.5 hours* $ 2.30 per hour    1.15   
    
  Total standard cost $ 14.27   
    
*Based on machine-hours.
     During June the plant produced 5,000 pools and incurred the following costs:
a.

Purchased 24,000 pounds of materials at a cost of $2.65 per pound.

b.

Used 18,800 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.)

c. Worked 4,100 direct labor-hours at a cost of $6.50 per hour.
d.

Incurred variable manufacturing overhead cost totaling $7,560 for the month. A total of 2,800 machine-hours was recorded.

It is the company’s policy to close all variances to cost of goods sold on a monthly basis.
Required:
1. Compute the following variances for June:
a.

Materials price and quantity variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

b.

Labor rate and efficiency variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

c.

Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

2.

Summarize the variances that you computed in (1) above by showing the net overall favorable or unfavorable variance for the month. (Input all values as positive amounts. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

3.

Pick out the two most significant variances that you computed in (1) above. (You may select more than one answer. Single click the box with a check mark for correct answers and double click to empty the box for the wrong answers.)
