Answer:
b.$7,172.16 favorable 
Explanation:
 
 
std rate          $  13.13 
actual rate  $  12.20 
actual hours       7,712
difference between actual and standart rate $0.93 
As it is positive the variance is favorable as we spend less per hour than standard.
Now, we multiply by the actual hours to get the rate variance:
7,712 hours x $0.93 = $7,172.16

Answer:
d) $4.00.
Explanation:
Net Income = $34,000
Common shares outstanding = 8,500 shares
Earning Per share = Net Income for the period / Common shares outstanding
Earning Per share = $34,000 / 8,500 shares
Earning Per share = $4 per share
The company's earnings per share is $4.
Divided declared has nothing to do in the calculation of Earning per share because we just measure the earning against each share which involves net income and number of outstanding shares only.
