    keep it up cpa8488. LOL im on 678 out of 1340 since Monday but I actually started from 1340 and working my way backwards. My main goal was to get through chap 3 in the progress test because I feel decent about all the other chapters. Now I'm just coasting along. I might even have a beer while I'm reviewing lol.

    Hey on a softer note, where are you all from? I live in California.

    Good luck, Highlight! Have 2 more for 8488 and I. I've just about done all of my problem areas in CPAexcel and I'm blasting through the stuff. Guess a night off did me some good. I bought a bottle of spiced Bayou Rum for Mardi Gras (I live in south Louisiana) and I didn't get a chance to crack it open last week so, I will be downing the whole bottle after I get home. Haha.

    Simpson, Inc. is in the process of preparing its annual budget. The

    following beginning and ending inventory levels (in units) are planned

    for the year ending December 31, Year 1.

    Raw material* BI 40,000 EI 50,000

    Work-in-process BI 10,000 EI 10,000

    Finished goods BI 80,000 EI 50,000

    *Two units of raw material are needed to produce each unit of finished

    product.

    If Simpson, Inc. plans to sell 480,000 units during Year 1, the number of

    units it would have to manufacture during the year would be:

    a. 440,000 units.

    b. 510,000 units.

    c. 530,000 units.

    d. 450,000 units.

    How did they get the answer 450,000??

    I don't understand why the BI is multiplied by 2 and not the EI

    You add raw materials in at the beginning not the end. So if 2 units of raw materials are needed you would multiply BI by 2.

    #655989

    @ashey This is how I calculated it:

    Beg. Bal. Finished Gds (80,000)

    + Gds Manufactured (?)

    – Gds sold (480,000)

    = Ending Bal. Finished Gds (50,000)

    Then solve for the missing piece by rearranging the equation.

    Gds Manufactured = 50,000 + 480,000 – 80,000 = 450,000 units

    (FYI reppin the lone star state)

    I reached 500! That was brutal. I didn't actually do every single problem. If it was really long I skipped it. But I do need to memorize these variance formulas. There is so many!

    @cpa8488 Can you give me example of formula you are trying to memorize? I'm only using 4 formulas.

    #655992

    4!!!!!!???? you should see my ch.2 formula stack its ridic!!

    DM PRICE VAR.= Actual Q purchased x( Actual P- std P)

    VOH rate(spending var)= Actual hours x ( Actual rate- std rate)

    Estimated req. levels of production=budgeted sales + desired EI- BI

    DL efficiency var=std rate x( actual hours-std hours allowed)

    DL rate var= Actual hours worked x (Actual rate-std rate)

    DM usage budget= BI at cost + purchases at cost- EI at cost

    DM quantity usage var=std price x(Actual q used- std q allowed)

    COGS formula

    Direct cost var=std price x std q

    VOH efficiency var aka production vol. var=std rate x (actual hours-std hours allowed for actual production vol

    FOH budget spending var=actual fixed OH-budgeted fixed OH

    FOH volume var=budgeted fixed OH-std fixed OH cost allocated to production

    sales price var= (actual SP per unit-Budgeted SP per unit) x actual sold units

    sales vol. var=(actual sold units- Budgeted sales units) x std CM per unit

    CM per unit=SP-prime costs-var OH-var SG&A

    BE in units= total FC/cm per unit

    CM ratio=CM/revenue

    BE in dollars=unit price x BE in units OR total FC/CM ratio

    margin of safety=total sales in dollars – BE in dollars

    margin of safety percentage=margin of safety in dollars/ total sales

    target cost=market price – required profit

    selling price based on target GM %-costs/ratio of costs to sales

    setting selling prices based on assumed volume= (FC+var cost+pretax profit)/ # of units sold

    sales dollars needed to obtain a desired profit= var costs + FC+ pretax profit OR FC+pretax profit/ CM ratio

    predicting profits based on volume after BE has been achieved= units above BE x CM per unit

    sales units needed to obtain a desired profit=(FC+pretax profit) / CM per unit

    # of units to be purchased=units of DM needed+ desired EI- BI

    cost of DM to be purchased=units of DM to be purchased x cost per unit

    That's only chapter 2. I have a stack just as big of chapter 3. I also have formulas from ch. 1 and 5 but not nearly as big…. and you have 4 lol
