pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explanation:

The question was missing the actual amount of potatoes used and their actual price = 98,000 pounds at $0.85 per pound:

1. Determine the direct material price and quantity variances.

direct materials price variance = AQ x (AP - SP) = 98,000 x ($0.85 - $1) = $14,700 favorable

direct material quantity variance =  SP x (AQ - SQ) = $1 x (98,000 - 95,000) = $3,000 unfavorable

2. Think of a plausible explanation for the variances found in Requirement 1

Since the actual price of potatoes was less than the standard price, the price variance was favorable. But since the actual quantity used was more than the standard quantity, the quantity variance was unfavorable.

3. Determine the direct labor rate and efficiency variances.

direct labor rate variance = AH x (AR - SR) = 2,100 x ($12.45 - $12.15) = $630 unfavorable

direct labor efficiency variance = SR x (AH - SH) = $14.15 x (2,100 - 2,000) = $1,415 unfavorable

4. Could the explanation for the labor variances be tied to the material's variances?

Probably the labor efficiency variance since more materials had to be processed, but the labor rate variance is completely independent from the materials variances.

Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for beer is about 0.9. A government policy aimed at reducing beer consumpti
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The government policy should have reduced beer consumption by 0.6 or 60%

Explanation:

Mid point formula calculates the ratio of mid point of change in demand and change in price to their average value. Then these changes are used in the calculations of elasticity of demand.

According to given data:

Elasticity of demand = 0.9

Midpoint of price  = (20-10) / [(20+10)/2] = 10 / 15 = 0.6667

Elasticity of Demand = Midpoint of demand / Midpoint of price

0.9 = Midpoint of demand / 0.6667

Midpoint of price = 0.9 x 0.6667 = 0.6

Change in demand is should reduce the consumption by 0.6 or 60%.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

X - number of units sold

Total cost for production = 1,500,000 + 1600X

Total cost for purchasing = 2000X

a.  For 4000 units sold

Total cost for production = 1,500,000 + 1600 * 4000 = $7,900,000

Total cost for purchasing = 2000* 4000 =  $8,000,000

In this case producing is cheaper. Therefore, it is better to produce

b. Y - break-even point

Then :  1,500,000 + 1600 * Y = 2000* Y

So 1,500,000 = 400 Y

Y = 3750

At №of units less than 3750 purchasing will be the better option

And above 3750 producing will be the better option

Which of the following is a likely reason for choosing FDI instead of licensing?
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

FDI is an investment in the business through an investor from another country and control is with the foreign investor over the company purchased.

Licensing means all the contracts to which the third part has granted or licensed any right to its subsidiaries or company.

So, the reason for preferring FDI instead of license is sharing the intellectual know how with the foreign rival might be risky as this is a limitation in licensing.
