Answer:

Unfortunate Accident

Explanation:

Since the accident was not due to any lack in the driving skills, but as Carla could not function properly, because of Heart Attack, this is not an accident for which Carla could be held liable.

Although Carla was driving, but she could be held liable, as that is because of unfortunate circumstances, not in the hands of Carla, and could not be avoided by the actions of Carla.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

1. $3.20 x 2.20 = $7.04

2. It will be favorable.

3. It will be unfavorable.

4. Direct material price variance = $22

   Direct material quantity variance = 0.48

Explanation:

1. Standard direct cost per unit=cost of direct materials price x direct material standard quantity per unit.

2. It will be favorable because they expected or had budgeted to pay $3.60 per foot for the material but the actual cost became $3.20. So they  pay $0.40 less than they had expected to pay.

3. It will be unfavorable because they had planed or budgeted for each unit to use 2.05 feet of leather but they ended up needing 2.20 feet of leather per collar so that means they under budgeted by 0.15 feet.

4. Direct material price variance =( $3.60 x 55) less ($3.20x55)=$22

The total amount that was budgeted or expected to be paid is subtracted from the total actual  price that was paid.

Direct material quantity variance = (2.05x$3.20) less (2.20x$3.20)= -0.48

The total direct material quantity that is used is subtracted from the quantity that was expected to be used.
