Answer:
price variance 12,000 U
quantity variance 4,500 U
Explanation:
std cost $9.00
actual cost $9.20
quantity 60,000
These are givens so no calculation needed.
difference $(0.20)
price variance $(12,000.00)
The difference is negative, we purchase at a higher price, so the variance is unfavorable
std quantity 59500.00 (7 lbs per unit x 8,500 untis manufactured)
actual quantity 60000.00
std cost $9.00
difference -500.00
efficiency variance $(4,500.00)
The difference betwene standard lbs and the actual lbs used into production is negative, we use more lbs than standard. This variance is also unfavorable.

3. Correctly ignored a sunk cost
Explanation:
Sunk costs refer to those costs which have been incurred in the past, which are non recoverable and which have no current or future benefits.
Sunk costs are considered as irrelevant for decision making process as they do not relate to current period and have no future implications. For example, research and development expenditure incurred in the past represents a sunk cost.
In the given case, the ticket for opera was already purchased for $100 which can now neither be recovered nor transferred. Thus this cost is irrelevant for decision making as expenditure has already been made. When Shen decided to go for a party instead of the concert, Shen has correctly ignored a sunk cost.
