$2,820 favorable

Calculation to determine direct materials quantity variance

Using this formula:

Direct materials price variance = (Actual materials cost per lb. - Standard materials cost per lb.) × Actual quantity lb

Direct materials price variance = ($5.40 - $6.00) × 4,700 lbs.

Direct materials price variance = (-$0.60) × 4,700 lbs.

Direct materials price variance = $2,820 favorable

Therefore the direct materials price variance is $2,820 favorable.

Direct material costs:

are the costs of raw materials or parts that go directly into producing products. For example, if Company A is a toy manufacturer, an example of a direct material cost would be the plastic used to make the toys.

Why is direct materials important?

Direct materials is an important concept in throughput analysis, where throughput is the revenue generated by a product sale, less all totally variable costs. In most situations, the only totally variable costs associated with a product are its direct materials.

What do you mean by actual cost?

In accounting, Actual Cost refers to the amount of money that was paid to acquire a product or asset. This could be the historical, past, or present-day cost of the product

What do you mean by standard cost?

A standard cost is the budgeted cost of a regular manufacturing process against which actual costs are compared. Of course, if a new product, service, or process is to be carried out, the initial standard costs will have to be estimated.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Constant returns to scale production function: When there is an increase in inputs (i.e capital and labor) as a result output increases by the same proportion.

For example: If the amounts of equipment and workers are both doubled in the production of bread then as a result the output of bread also doubled.

Suppose the capital and labor increases by 10% then as a result output also increases by 10%.

To be productive in a new job, what can you safely ignore
Andrew [12]
Well, these are the ways u can be productive at a new workplace:
-do the difficult or most important stuff first, then leave the less complicated stuff in the end
-take breaks-sitting 24/7 in ur office desk can be detrimental to ur health-do things u enjoy every one hour or so, such as sipping a black coffee with a light snack or having a quick laugh with ur colleauges, or perhaps u can challenge urself with a game of scrabble. it will change ur life of work struggles and make u mentally and physically happy!! 
-don't multitask-u will make ur life more complicated, by completing stuff in a second. don't be paranoid with wotever work u have, the world is not going to end!
-u have innovative thoughts but finding it problematic to execute it? write down some ideas, concepts of how to overcome some work problems or doodle of wot u see ur next digital future like. its not complicated, u just need to be experiment, u never know when a creative idea might rush in.

-i hope i helped:)
