Answer:
-$30,250 favorable
Explanation:
labor efficiency variance = (standard quantity - actual quantity) x standard labor cost
- actual quantity = 7,700 hours
- standard quantity = 9.9 hours x 1,000 units = 9,900
- standard labor cost = $13.70
labor efficiency variance = (7,700 - 9,900) x $13.70 = -$30,250 favorable variance
the variance is favorable, because less hours were actually used than forecasted

Answer:
1. Sports Team Shirt - Excludable / Rivalrous
2. Air we breathe - Non - Excludable / Non - Rivalrous
3. Atlantic Bluefin Tuna - Non -Excludable / Rivalrous
4. A Toll Road - Excludable / Non - Rivalrous

Examples in this category are; A sports team shirt and, the Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna. Eating a Tuna would limit access to another person, who wants to eat Tuna at that point in time. The same would apply to wearing a sports shirt.
A Non - Rivalrous good is one in which usage by an individual does not limit consumption by another. Most non - tangible goods are non -
rivalrous. Examples in this category are; the air we breathe, and the Toll Road. Almost anyone can access these.
Excludable goods are only used after payment for them has been made. Examples are the Toll Road and the Sports Team Shirt.
Non - Excludable goods can be used even when payment has not been made. Examples are Air and The Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna which anyone can access.
