Answer:

A. $720 Unfavorable

B. $840 Unfavorable

C. $1,560 Unfavorable

D. $800 Favorable

E. $30 Unfavorable

F. $790 Unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of given question is shown below:-

A. Sales = (Budget quantity - Actual quantity) × Budgeted sale price

= ($8.10 - $7.80) × 2,400

= $0.3 × 2,400

= $720 Unfavorable

B. Variable manufacturing = (Actual variable cost - Budgeted variable manufacturing cost) × Budgeted sale price

= ($4.25 - $3.90) × 2,400

= $0.35 × 2,400

= $840 Unfavorable

C. Contribution margin = ((Budgeted sales price - Budgeted variable manufacturing cost) - (Actual sale price - Actual variable cost)) × Budgeted sale price

= (($8.10 - $3.90) - ($7.80 - $4.25)) × 2,400

= $0.65 × 2,400

= $1,560 Unfavorable

D. Fixed manufacturing = Actual fixed manufacturing cost - Budgeted  Fixed manufacturing cost

= $1,300 - $2,100

= $800 Favorable

E. Fixed selling and admin cost = Actual selling and administrative costs - Budgeted fixed selling and administrative cost

= $530 - $500

= $30 Unfavorable

F. Net income (loss) = Contribution margin - Fixed manufacturing + Fixed selling and admin cost

= $1,560 - $800 + $30

= $790 Unfavorable

suppose the fimrs hires each unit of labor for $700 per week, and each unit of output sells for $9. How many workers will the fi
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The question is missing the amount of output units that each additional unit of labor generates, but we can calculate how many units each additional unit of labor should produce in order to maximize profit.

In order for a firm to maximize its profit, the marginal revenue product (MRP) = marginal cost (MC).

MRP = output units per additional unit of labor x price per unit = U x $9

MC = $700

U x $9 = $700

U = $700 / $9 = 77.78, so we round up to 78 units

In order to maximize profit, each additional unit of labor must generate 78 additional units of output.

A matrix organization for project management has a distinct advantage because:A) Dual hierarchies mean two bosses.B) A significa
Zanzabum

Answer:

D) Project importance is enhanced by setting authority equal to that of functional departments.

Explanation:

A matrix organization is characterized by, multiple command system and overlapping of command, control and behavioral pattern.

Here, temporary project groups are created so as to handle short term projects. Personnel are drawn from functional department and their activities are controlled and coordinated by a project manager.

Once a project is completed, the structure is disbanded and the personnel return to their original departments i.e functional department.

During the project duration, a person is responsible and reports to two bosses, one being the project manager and secondly to the functional boss. Thus, under such a structure exists dual reporting.

Under matrix structure for project management, the project manager is not allowed to use resources exclusively for the project i.e like in project management. Rather, such a manager is required to share resources with the organization.
