Answer:
Instructions are listed below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production of 12-ounce cans has a standard unit quantity of 4.4 ounces of aluminum per can. During April, 304,000 cans were produced using 1,243,000 ounces of aluminum. The actual cost of aluminum was $0.17 per ounce and the standard price was $0.07 per ounce.
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= ( 0.07 - 0.17)*1,243,000= $124,300 unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (1,337,600 - 1,243,000)*0.07= $6,622 favorable
Answer:
Nathan's contention is wrong.
Explanation:
Storage of money at home involves the opportunity cost of losing out on income that would've been generated had the same money been invested elsewhere or deposited with a bank.
Secondly, money stored at home is vulnerable to theft and other forms of risks.
Thirdly, stored money at home does not contribute to any economic benefit since such money is out of circular flow of money in the economy. So it yields no return.
Thus, Nathan's contention of stored money at home being costless is wrong.

Answer:
The owner's equity amounts to $1,040,000
Explanation:
The formula to compute the owner's equity is as:
Owner's equity = Assets - Liabilities
Where
Assets = Land + Machinery + Cash
= $1,500,000 + $30,000 + $10,000
= $1,500,000 + $40,000
= $1,540,000
Liabilities = Loan
= $500,000
Putting the values above in the formula:
= $1,540,000 - $500,000
= $1,040,000
Answer: Mental budgeting.
Explanation: This concept is very much in consistent with the concept of mental accounting. The concept of mental accounting says that a person has already classified the areas where he will be spending his income and each area has its own importance and is given particular amount to that. Contrary to this, however, the mental budgeting is the phenomenon which uses the same technique but in such a way that it calculates the amount to be spend on multiple areas beforehand and using the rational cognitive ability, imagine the possibility that if an area would be left without spending money on that, would that help him save or not.
