highlightnumbParticipantkeep 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.

MjganierParticipantGood 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.

AnonymousInactiveSimpson, 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

fightingforsanityMember@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

AnonymousInactiveI 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!
February 26, 2015 at 4:06 am #655991
AnonymousInactive@cpa8488 Can you give me example of formula you are trying to memorize? I'm only using 4 formulas.
February 26, 2015 at 4:27 am #655992
AnonymousInactive4!!!!!!???? 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

AnonymousInactiveThat'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
