Answer: If i am the general manager of the organization i will try to make a survey about customer relation in other competitive organization before i can conclude whether it is wise to cut down cost through removing giving out free gifts to customers like the free pop corn, coffee etc. Customers will choose other organizations where they can get the same quality service and other benefits especially in a perfectly competitive market. Rather i will suggest more profit can be made by slightly increasing the cost of services rendered to customers from which the cost of the freebies can be regained.

Explanation:Customer's satisfaction and profit maximization are the two main objectives of a firm. It is only when an organization is able to maintain good customer relationship with their customers that profit can be maximized regardless of how efficient their other services are.

Kropf Inc. has provided the following data concerning one of the products in its standard cost system. Variable manufacturing ov

Ratling [72]

Answer:

a) The materials price variance 19026.33 unfav

b) Material Quantity Variance= $ 267 Unfav

c) Direct Labor Rate variance= $ 6127 Unfav

d) Direct labor Efficiency variance= 7710 Fav

e) Variable Overhead Rate Variance= 13099 fav

f) Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance= 3256.25 unfav

Explanation:

First We find the missing figures such as standard quantity ,hours allowed , actual price, rate. Then we list the formulae to use. After that we put in the values of the amounts in the formulae to get the results. Unfavorable variances are those in which the actual quantities are greater than the standard quantities or input .

Kropf Inc.

Given Standards

Direct materials 9.30 liters $ 8.90 per liter

Standard Quantity allowed = 9.3 * 11500= 106950 Litres

Direct labor 0.70 hours $ 25.70 per hour

Variable manufacturing overhead 0.70 hours $ 7.80 per hour

Standard Hours Allowed = $ 0.7 *11500= 8050

Actual Results Given

Actual output 11,500 units

Raw materials purchased 107,900 liters

Actual cost of raw materials purchased $ 979,500

Actual Price= Cost/ Purchases= $ 979,500/107,900 = $9.08

Raw materials used in production 106,980 liters

Actual direct labor-hours 7,750 hours

Actual direct labor cost $ 205,302

Actual Rate=$ 205,302 / 7,750 = $ 26.49

Actual variable overhead cost $ 55,414

Actual Overhead Rate= $ 55,414/7,750 = $ 7.15

Formulae to use

1)The materials price variance = (Actual Price * Actual Quantity)- (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)

2) Material Quantity Variance= (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)-(Standard Price * Standard Quantity)

3) Direct Labor Rate variance= (actual hours* actual rate)- (actual hours * standard rate)

4) Direct labor Efficiency variance= (actual hours* standard rate)- (standard hours * standard rate)

5) Variable Overhead Rate Variance= Actual Variable Overhead- Standard Variable Overhead

6)Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance=( Actual Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)-( Standard Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)

Working

1)The materials price variance = (Actual Price * Actual Quantity)- (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)

The materials price variance = ( $9.08*106,980 )- ($ 8.90 *106,980)

The materials price variance = (971148.38)- (952122)=19026.33 unfav

2) Material Quantity Variance= (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)-(Standard Price * Standard Quantity)

Material Quantity Variance=($ 8.90 *106,980)-($ 8.90 *106,950)= $ 267 Unfav

3) Direct Labor Rate variance= (actual hours* actual rate)- (actual hours * standard rate)

Direct Labor Rate variance= ( 7,750*$ 26.49)- (7,750*$ 25.70)= $ 6127 Unfav

4) Direct labor Efficiency variance= (actual hours* standard rate)- (standard hours * standard rate)

Direct labor Efficiency variance=(7,750*$ 25.70)-(8050*$ 25.70)= 7710 Fav

5) Variable Overhead Rate Variance= Actual Variable Overhead- Standard Variable Overhead

Variable Overhead Rate Variance=$ 55,414-( Actual Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)

Variable Overhead Rate Variance=$ 55,414-(7,750*0.70 * $ 7.80)

Variable Overhead Rate Variance=$ 55,414- 42315= 13099 fav

6)Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance=( Actual Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)-( Standard Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)

Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance= (7,750*0.70 * $ 7.80)- (7,750*0.70 * $ 7.15)=42315- 38788.15= 3256.25 unfav

yan [13]

Answer:

may limit the extent to which a nation specializes in producing of a particular product.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.

Simply stated, it is the cost of not enjoying the benefits, profits or value associated with the alternative forgone or best alternative choice available.

For instance, if you decide to invest resources such as money in a food business (restaurant), your opportunity cost would be the profits you could have earned if you had invested the same amount of resources in a salon business or any other business as the case may be.

The law of increasing opportunity costs can be defined as a principle in business which states that, if an organization or business firm continually raise (increase) its level of production, its opportunity cost also increases (rises).

Consequently, this may limit the extent to which a nation or country in any part of the world specializes in producing of a particular product so as to reduce or lower its opportunity cost.
