Some of the major attributes or objectives behind commercial mergers and acquisitions commonly include expansion of market share or customer base through tapping into new markets(both geographically and new product based) and adopting product or service differentiation by combining business operations,invent more cost effective production processes or methods and gain access to new and improved technological resources and inputs.Hence,one of the important objectives of any commercial merger or acquisition is actually to enhance market share of the company or business organisation through diversified product differentiation and not on any focused differentiation strategy which can potentially cover a relatively wider consumer base.
Answer:
Instructions are listed below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production of 12-ounce cans has a standard unit quantity of 4.4 ounces of aluminum per can. During April, 304,000 cans were produced using 1,243,000 ounces of aluminum. The actual cost of aluminum was $0.17 per ounce and the standard price was $0.07 per ounce.
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= ( 0.07 - 0.17)*1,243,000= $124,300 unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (1,337,600 - 1,243,000)*0.07= $6,622 favorable
Explanation:
The journal entry is as follows:

Answer: 60%
Explanation:
Find the ending work in process.
Materials are complete at inception so the Equivalent units of Materials represent the total units.
Ending WIP will therefore be:
= Materials EUP - Units started and completed
= 5,000 - 3,500
= 1,500 units
Stage of completion is based on Conversion.
Conversion EUP = Total started and completed + (x% * Closing WIP)
4,400 = 3,500 + (x% * 1,500)
4,400 = 3,500 + 15x
15x = 4,400 - 3,500
15x = 900
x = 900/15
x = 60%
<em>Conversion is 60% complete so this is the stage of completion. </em>
