Answer:

A) Laws represent the minimum guidelines that companies must follow,whereas a firm's ethical stance may venture beyond the minimum level of compliance.

Explanation:

In the given scenario there are laws that allows community and state police to set up sobriety check points that discourages drunk drivers and saves lives.

The inclusion or removal of applications that helps drunk drivers avoid these checkpoints is not covered by the law. So if a company decides to include such applications it is at their discretion.

Blackberry have chosen to remove applications that helps drunk drivers avoid checkpoints. This is an example of when a company has ventured beyond the minimum level of compliance because of their ethical stance.

Google and Apple however have only ventured beyond the minimum compliance level because they have refused to honour requests by legislators to remove apps that permit smartphone users to navigate around the checkpoints.

Actual labor hours used = 5,620

Actual rate per hour = $118,020/5,620 = $21 per hour

Standard hours for Actual output = 7,650 \times 0.8 = 6,120 hours

= (6,120 - 5,620) \times $34

= $17,000 Favorable

As the amount is positive and actual hours used is less than standard hours the variance is favorable.
