Answer:

The correct answer is (A) output will be too small and its price too high.

Explanation:

MONOPOLY PRICE: price that departs from the value or production price of a given merchandise. Economic way in which capitalist monopolies obtain super profits. The monopoly price is equal to the production costs plus the high monopoly gain. There are two types of monopoly prices: the high ones, to which the monopolies sell their production and the low ones, to the monopolies buying the raw material or products destined for reworking and for sale, especially in colonial and dependent countries. In order to keep monopoly prices on the market, capitalist monopolies: 1) hinder the free emigration of capital by preventing the competitor from lowering the monopoly price or establishing an agreement with him to maintain a certain price, 2) limit the The production of goods in the internal market, without certain reductions in production, not even the destruction of "surplus" goods, 3) uses the bourgeois state to protect the internal market against foreign competition by establishing high tariff rates. Monopoly prices do not eliminate the action of the law of value as a law of merchandise prices. What monopoly capital earns thanks to monopoly prices, is lost by workers in capitalist countries and also the popular masses of colonial and economically weak countries, from which monopolists, through non-equivalent exchange, derive huge profits. A certain portion of the monopoly price is part of the gain of the bourgeoisie that does not enter the monopoly group. In this way, the interests of different classes and groups of today's capitalist society intersect in the monopoly price. For this reason, the growth of high monopoly prices, as well as the reduction of low monopoly prices - a phenomenon that is observed endlessly - leads to the further sharpening of the class contradictions of imperialism.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Material Price Variance= $ 2850 Unfavorable

Material Quantity Variance=$ 900 unfav

Total direct materials variance $ 3750

Direct Labor Rate  variance= $ 3325 fav

Direct labor time variance= 3200 Unfavorable

Total Direct Labor Cost Variance= 125 fav

Explanation:

Standard wage per hour $20

Standard labor time per faucet 30 min  = 0.5 *5000= 2500 Hrs

Standard number of lbs. of brass 2.5lbs

Standard price per lb. of brass $1.80

Actual price per lb. of brass $1.95

Actual lbs of brass used during the week 13,000 lbs

Number of faucets produced during the week 5,000

Actual wage per hr. $18.75

Actual hrs for the week (70 employees x 38 hours) 2,660

 

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

Material Price Variance= ($ 1.95 *13000)-($1.8 *5000*2.5)= ($ 1.95 *13000)-($1.8 *12500)= $ 25350 - $  22500= $ 2850

Material Price Variance= $ 2850 Unfavorable

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

Material Quantity Variance=($1.8 *13000)-($1.8 *12500)= 23400- 22500

Material Quantity Variance=$ 900 Unfav

Total direct materials variance =Material Price Variance + Material Quantity Variance= 2850 + 900 = $ 3750 Unfav

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

Direct Labor Rate  variance=( 2660 *18.75)  - (2660*20)= 49875- 53200

Direct Labor Rate  variance= $ 3325 fav

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

Direct labor time variance= (2660 *20) -(0.5 * 5000*20)

Direct labor time variance= 53200-50,000

Direct labor time variance= 3200 Unfavorable

Total Direct Labor Cost Variance= Direct Labor Rate  variance + Direct labor time variance= 3325 fav- 3200 unfav= 125 fav
