dybincka [34]

Full question:

Classify each possible change listed according to whether it will make small farms more efficient or less efficient based on the information in the Washington Post article Small vs. Large: Which Size Farm Is Better for the Planet:

Plant more disease-resistant crops, reduce the number of different crops planted, avoid planting genetically modified crops, rely more on organic rather than synthetic methods of farming,

Answer and Explanation:

Plant more disease-resistant crops is classified under more efficient and Less costly. The writer believes disease resistant crops increase efficiency as there is reduced occurrence of death of crops and consequent increased losses and costs

Reduce the number of different crops planted is classified under more efficient and less costly. The writer emphasizes specialization in farming whereby for example planting rice or corn should be done alone and not mixed with other crops as this would be less efficient and costly.

Avoid planting genetically modified crops is classified less efficient and more costly. The writer encourages planting genetically modified crops as genetically modified plants are geared towards increased plant product and yield from genetically optimized plants

Rely more on organic rather than synthetic methods of farming is classified less efficient and more costly. In the article, the writer believes chemically induced crops are bad for the environment and don't yield much in efficiency with time

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The computation of the labor rate variance is shown below:  

= Actual Hours × (Actual rate - standard rate)  

= 5,050 × ($16.80 per hour - $16 per hour)  

= 5,050 × $0.80 per hour

= $4,040 unfavorable

b. The computation of the labor time variance is shown below:  

= Standard Rate × (Actual hours - Standard hours)  

= $16 per hour × (5,050 hours - 1,000 × 5.4 hours)  

= $16 per hour × -350 hours

= -$5,600 favorable

c. The computation of the total labor variance is shown below:  

= (Actual hours × Actual rate) - (Standard hours × standard rate)

= (5,050 hours × $16.80 per hour) - (1,000 bicycles × 5.4 hours × $16 per hour)

= $84,840 - $86,400

= -$1,560 favorable
