Answer:
efficiency variance
Explanation:
When standard direct labor hours differ from actual direct labor hours used, the company experienced an "efficiency varaiance". It can be used in order to analyze how effective an operation is in relation to labor, materials, machine time and other production factors.
Efficiency variance is actually the difference which exists between the theoretical amount of inputs which are needed to produce an output and the actual number of inputs which are required to manufacture the unit of output.
Answer:
a) a downward shift in the AFC curve
Explanation:
AFC = Average Fixed Cost, AVC = Average Variable Cost, MC = Marginal Cost
Average Fixed Cost is defined as the fixed cost of production divided by the quantity produced. Mathematically given as:
Average Fixed Cost = Fixed Cost ÷ Quantity
AVC = FC ÷ Q
Average Variable Cost is defined as the variable cost of production divided by the quantity produced. Mathematically given as:
AFC = VC ÷ Q
Marginal Cost is defined as the cost incurred for an additional unit to be produced. Mathematically given as:
MC = ΔC ÷ ΔQ
The firm discovered a more efficient technology implies that the cost of production is reduced. The result of this is that the fixed cost (FC) is reduced and consequently, the AFC is reduced as well. Hence, the AFC curve shifts downward. We therefore see that a reduction in fixed costs (due to the discovery of a more efficient technology) results in the AFC curve shifting downwards
<u>Hence, Option A (a downward shift in the AFC curve) is the correct answer </u>
Answer:
$4,332.89
Explanation:
The adjusted reconciled checkbook balance will include:
checkbook balance $2,210.55
+ bank collect note $2,000.00
- fee for collecting the note ($5.00)
+ earned interest $42.33
+ difference in recording a check $400 - $300 = $100
<u> - banking service charge ($14.99) </u>
total = $4,332.89
