Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Since the costs are per 100, to calculate total standard we multiply by 400,000/100 = 4000 and actual qty then is 4060.

For A, standard cost budget at standard prices.

Direct Labor            (2*4000)          = $8,000

Direct Material     (9.1*4000)        = $36,400

Factory Overhead  (0.55*4000)    = $2,200

Total                                                        = $46,600

For B, The total cost variances are as follows,

Material cost variance = (Standard Price - Actual Price) * Actual Quantity  

where, Standard price = 9.1 and Actual price = (35750/4060) = $8.81

Variance = (9.1 - 8.81) * 4060  = $1177.4 Favorable

Direct labor cost variance = (Standard rate - Actual Rate) * Actual Quantity

where, Standard rate = 2 and Actual rate = (7540/4060) = $1.86

Variance = (2-1.86) * 4060  = $568.4 Favorable

Factory Overhead variance

= Standard applied - Actual applied  

Variance = (0.55*4060) - 2680     = $447 Unfavorable

Net effect on total cost variances = (1177.4+568.4-447) = $1298.8 Favorable

For c)

The over all cost performance has favored the business as they ere able to lessen costs in direct labor and material department. However, the fixed costs performance has deteriorated and there may be some technical issues that the company can deal with to ensure they perform better on fixed costs. The over all performance is favorable.

Complete the explanation of how polygenic inheritance could be the basis of a trait showing continuous phenotypic variation.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Additive; continuous; homozygous; homozygous.

Explanation:

The variation in weight in a population may be explained by the segregation of 10 genes that control weight in a simple <u>additive</u> genetic fashion, the distribution will be<u> continuous</u> from the lowest value <u>homozygous</u> for one allele at all 10 genes to the highest value <u>homozygous</u> for the other allele at all 10 genes.

Continuous phenotypic variation can be caused by many genes affecting a trait and/or environmental variation.

aleksklad [387]

Answer: a. Ellie has most likely tapped into an illusionary correlation in her data.

Explanation:

Illusionary Correlation is a phenomenon in Psychology and Statistics where during the course of research, the researcher perceives a relationship to exist between the variables due to seemingly statistically significant findings when no such relationship actually exists.

The problem is that since such correlations are usually rare, they are easier to discover and fixate on.

The likelihood of children apps being influenced by goat cheese and the number of engine failures of Ford Fiesta cars in the USA would make quite a number of people scoff which is why her manager was skeptical.
