Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
<u>To calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:</u>
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (17.7 - 17.8)*7,600
Direct labor rate variance= $760 unfavorable
Actual rate= 135,280/7,600= $17.8
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (4*1,800 - 7,600)*17.7
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $7,080 unfavorable

Answer:
(a) increase its dividend;
dividends are increased for two reasons:

- the board and upper management want to increase the stock price and higher dividends always result in higher stock prices, even if it is only in the short run.
(b) buy back some of its common stock shares;
- the company has excess cash and the board and upper management believe that the stock price is too low.
(c) pay down some of its debt;
- the company has excess cash and it considers that the cost of its debt is too high and it can get cheaper financing from other sources if needed.
(d) increase its use of internal financing;
- the board and upper management considers that the company needs to invest in new or existing projects and they consider that the financing costs are too high. Also, on the long run if things work well, the stock price should increase.
(e) take the public firm private
- the company has excess cash and the board and upper management believe that the stock price is too low. It is similar to (b) only on an extreme situation.
