Answer: a. Controlling

Explanation:

The Controlling function in management is meant to ensure that employees in a company are acting in a manner that abides by the standards of the company or organization in question.

It works by managers ensuring that they check that employees are acting in the way they are to act and if they are not, corrective action must be meted out to stop the behavior.

The Secret Service had some embarrassing moments in 2015 with some agents being found drunk on a trip to Europe where they were assigned to President Obama's detail. Had supervisors been making sure that subordinates acted in a manner befitting of the secret service, the acts would have had a significantly less chance of happening.

The histogram below represents the number of television sets per household for a sample of u.s. households. what is the minimum
ladessa [460]

Answer: 5 Households

Explanation:

The y-axis shows the number of households using a certain number of TV sets while the x-axis shows the number of TV sets that households own.

There are only 5 households that own 5 televisions sets. This is the lowest number of households that own the same number of television sets and this makes sense because owning 5 television sets in a single household is not something that is usually seen.

The budget for the month of May was for 11,200 units at a direct materials cost of $19 per unit. Direct labor was budgeted at 28
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Direct labor price(rate) variance = $1,675  (unfavorable)

Direct labor efficiency variance = 0

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Number of units = 11,200

cost = $19 per unit

Labor budgeted = at 28 minutes per unit

Total budget = $100,800

Actual output = 8,900 units

Direct material expense = $137,500

Direct labor expense = $81,775

As per the following formula,

Direct labor price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) × Actual hour

= ($81,775 ÷ 8900 × 2 - $100,800 ÷ 11,200 × 2) × 8,900 ÷ 2

= $1,675  (unfavorable)

Direct labor efficiency variance = (Actual hour - Standard hour) × Standard price

= (8,900 × 28 ÷ 60 - 8,900 × 28 ÷ 60 ) × $100,800 ÷ 11,200 × 2

= 0

A homeseller wants to net $75,000. The commission is 9%, the loan payoff is $450,000, and closing costs are $36,000. What must t
gregori [183]

Answer:

The home must sell for $616,500 to be able to settle all costs

Explanation:

The net to the formula can be used to ascertain the price of the property , the formula is given below:

Net amount=Sales price*(100%-commission rate)

The net to the seller in this case is the amount that seller would receive and be able to settle mortgage and closing costs and still be left with $75000

Net amount =$75000+$450000+$36000

                     =$561000

commission rate is 9%

$561000=sales price*(100-9%)

$561000=sales price*91%

sales price =$561000/91%

                  =616483.52

But to the nearest $100 is $616500
