Lusher Corporation manufactures one product. It does not maintain any beginning or ending Work in Process inventories. The company uses a standard cost system in which inventories are recorded at their standard costs and any variances are closed directly to Cost of Goods Sold. There is no variable manufacturing overhead. The standard cost card for the company's only product is as follows:

There is no variable manufacturing overhead. The standard cost card for the company's only product is as follows:    The company calculated the following variances for the year:    The standard fixed manufacturing overhead rate was based on budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead of $134,750 and budgeted activity of 24,500 hours.During the year, the company completed the following transactions:Purchased 60,100 kilos of raw material at a price of $5.50 per kilo.Used 55,250 kilos of the raw material to produce 36,900 units of work in process.Assigned direct labor costs to work in process. The direct labor workers (who were paid in cash) worked 27,030 hours at an average cost of $23.20 per hour.Applied fixed overhead to the 36,900 units in work in process inventory using the predetermined overhead rate multiplied by the number of direct labor-hours allowed.

Of this total, $40,250 related to items such as insurance, utilities, and indirect labor salaries that were all paid in cash and $75,000 related to depreciation of manufacturing equipment.Transferred 36,900 units from work in process to finished goods.Sold for cash 39,700 units to customers at a price of $33.60 per unit.Completed and transferred the standard cost associated with the 39,700 units sold from finished goods to cost of goods sold.Paid $171,000 of selling and administrative expenses.Closed all standard cost variances to cost of goods sold.Required:1.

1. and 2.
1. and 2.    The explanations for transactions a through i are as follows:Cash decreases by the actual cost of the raw materials purchased, which is Actual quantity × Actual price = 60,100 kilos × $5.50 per kilo = $330,550. Raw Materials increase by the standard cost of the raw materials purchased, which is Actual quantity × Standard price = 60,100 kilos × $5.00 per kilo = $300,500. The materials price variance is $30,050 Unfavorable.Raw Materials decrease by the standard cost of the raw materials used in production, which is Actual quantity × Standard price = 55,250 kilos × $5.00 per kilo = $276,250. Work in Process increases by the standard cost of the standard quantity of raw materials allowed for the actual output, which is Standard quantity × Standard price = (36,900 units ×1.5 kilos per unit) × $5.00 per kilo = 55,350 kilos × $5.00 per kilo = $276,750. The difference is the Materials Quantity Variance which is $500 Favorable.Cash decreases by the actual amount paid to direct laborers, which is Actual hours × Actual rate = 27,030 hours × $23.20 per hour = $627,096. Work in Process increases by the standard cost of the standard amount of hours allowed for the actual output, which is Standard hours × Standard rate = (36,900 units × 0.70 hours per unit) × $22.00 per hour = 25,830 hours × $22.00 per hour = $568,260.

Briefly explain the following terms and how they either add or detract from teams in a business setting:
Social loafing
Cohesiveness
Distributed leadership
Groupthink

On May 18, 2024


Social loafing is the tendency of some people to avoid responsibility by "free-riding" in groups. Social loafing and other problems can easily turn the great potential of teams into frustration and failure, and can cost the team much in time, effort, morale and output.
Cohesiveness is the degree to which members are attracted to and motivated to remain part of a team. Persons in a highly cohesive team value their membership and strive to maintain positive relationships with other team members. Because they experience satisfaction from team identification, they tend to conform to the norms. This leads to more effective and efficient teams.
Distributed leadership is when all members of a team contribute helpful task and maintenance behaviours. This is useful in a business setting as it spreads out the maintenance responsibilities and promotes cohesion among team members. This facilitates a more effective team environment
Groupthink is a tendency for highly cohesive teams to lose their evaluative capabilities. Groupthink can occur anywhere. In fact, Janis ties a variety of well-known historical blunders to the phenomenon, including the lack of preparedness of U.S. naval forces for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour and the U.S. Bay of Pigs invasion under President John F. Kennedy.
