Answer:

a. <u>Labor variances for 14 PT staff: </u>

Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)

= ($50 - $52) x 1.40 x 2,604

= $7291.20 (Unfavorable)

Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate

= [(1.20 * 2,604) - (1.40 * 2,604)] * $50

= [3,124.80 - 3,645.60] * $50

= $26,040 (Unfavorable)

Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance

= $7,291.20 (Unfavorable) + $ 26,040 (Unfavorable)

= $33,331.20 (Unfavorable)

<u>Labor variances for 10 SD staff</u>:

Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)

= ($45 - $47) * 1.20 * 1,600

= $3840 (Unfavorable)

Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate

= (1.40*1,600) – (1.20*1,600)]*$45

= [2,240 – 1,920] * $45

= $14,400 (Favorable)

Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance

= $3,840 (Unfavorable) + $ 14,400 (Favorable)  

= $10,560 (Favorable)

gogolik [260]

Answer:

$14

Explanation:

Fee from customers = $4

Fee from producer = $10

Total Fee income received = 10+4 = $14

$14 should be recognized as income for each Riverdance ticket sold.

Ticket Now has sold the ticket (which is assumed to be nonrefundable) and it has performed what is required (to sale the tickets), so recognize the revenue of $14.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Breastfed babies are less likely to develop allergies than babies who are fed infant formula.

Explanation:

Breastfeeding a baby after labor and the following months is crucial for the baby's future health status. Studies reveal that infants tend to develop more health conditions such as <em>allergies, asthma </em>or<em> overweight</em> when they are given formula instead of breastfeeding. The harm is not only from the baby's side but also from the mother's. <em>Ovarian cancer, diabetes, </em>and <em>cardiovascular diseases</em> are caused by not nursing babies.
