RequiredAnswer the following questions.

Dowling Computers makes $5,800$ units of a circuit board, CB$76,$ at a cost of $$270$ each. Variable cost per unit is

$$160,$ and fixed cost per unit is $$110.$ HT Electronics offers to supply $5,800$ units of CB$76$ for $$240.$ If Dowling

buys from $HT,$ it will be able to save $$30$ per unit of fixed costs but continue to incur the remaining $$80$ per unit.

Should Dowling accept HT$\text{'}$s offer? Explain.

LF Manufacturing is deciding whether to keep or replace an old machine. It obtains the accompanying

information. LF Manufacturing uses straight$-$line depreciation. Ignore the time value of money and income taxes

Should LF replace the old machine? Explain.

Compute the flexible$-$budget variance.

Compute the price and efficiency variances.

Comment on the results for requirements $1$ and $2$ and provide a possible

explanation for them.Paulson Foods manufactures pumpkin scones. For January, it budgeted to purchase and use $14,000$ kilograms of

pumpkin at $$0\mathrm{.}85$ a kilogram. Actual purchases and usage for January were $14,250$ kilograms at $$0\mathrm{.}82$ a kilogram.

Paulson budgeted for $56,000$ pumpkin scones. Actual output was $51,300$ pumpkin scones.

Requirement $1.$ Compute the flexible$-$budget variance.

Let's begin by determining the formula used to calculate the actual pumpkin costs, and then enter the amounts in the

formula and calculate the cost.

Compute the flexible$-$budget variance.

Compute the price and efficiency variances.
