Answer:

B) None of the answers are correct.

Explanation:

Lower costs of direct materials result in favorable material cost variance, this means that the estimated costs of production where actually higher than the actual costs of production.

Lower production costs should help the company either increase sales volume by decreasing price, or increase profit margins. But the company will decide which approach to take, either sell more units or earn more money per unit sold.

Information technology has advanced dramatically within the last 25 years or so. At the same time there have been significant sh
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Did the technology push the changes in the world, or was it the other way around? What evidence is opinion based upon or how did you draw your conclusions?

In my opinion the world started to change during the 1970s when Steve Jobs introduced the personal computer. Before him, only huge corporations could afford computers since they were huge and costed millions. Since then, information technology (IT) has increased in gigantic steps and when the internet was available for public use, the world as we know it changed.

When the world was struggling again during the great recession, my hero came back and changed the way IT industry again with the iPhone and the whole app culture. I am a little over 25, and I can tell that everything was very different when I was a small kid. You actually needed to read a newspaper and use encyclopedias (very large books).

Now everything is on the web and now most of us are even working using the internet. In just seconds we know what is happening in China or any other country in the world, while before all we heard about China was that were many Chinese and they were communists. IT has enabled whole new industries that boost the economy much more than any other manufacturing business ever had. The world would be a much different place if it wasn't for the Apple I, the internet or the iPhone.
