\n

Q1 (MCQ)<\/h3>\n

Material Price Variance is:<\/p>\n

A. $24,000 U
\nB. $24,000 F
\nC. $20,000 U
\nD. $20,000 F<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> A
\n(48,000 \u00d7 (4.50 \u2013 4.00) = 48,000 \u00d7 0.50 = 24,000 U)<\/p>\n

\n

\nRegular selling price = $50.<\/p>\n

\n

Q4 (MCQ)<\/h3>\n

Should the company accept the special order?<\/p>\n

A. Yes, because contribution = $25,000
\nB. No, because price < regular price
\nC. No, because fixed cost per unit exceeds price
\nD. Yes, because fixed cost is relevant<\/p>\n

Contribution = (35 \u2013 30) \u00d7 5,000 = 25,000<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> A<\/p>\n

    \n

    Q10 (Fill in the Blank)<\/h3>\n

    Applied overhead = ________.<\/p>\n

    150% \u00d7 15,000 = 22,500<\/p>\n

    \n

    Q11 (MCQ)<\/h3>\n

    Total Job Cost =<\/p>\n

    \nB. 52,500
    \nC. 35,000
    \nD. 22,500<\/p>\n

    Total = 20,000 + 15,000 + 22,500 = 57,500<\/p>\n
