Answer:

If the carrot doesn't work, try the stick.

Explanation:

This phrase clearly describes how advertising and promotions work:

If the carrot doesn't work: the tempting carrot refers to advertisement, and the doesn't work part refers to advertisement that is not able to change consumer habits and increase sales.

Try the stick refers to offering promotions or positive incentives like discounts or larger packs.

Another example would be the penalty imposed on individuals that refused to purchase health care insurance (eliminated in 2018). The carrot were the benefits obtained by having health insurance and the stick was the negative incentive (or penalty) imposed as a fine for those who didn't purchase health insurance.

24 minutes (0.4 hrs.)            $5.40                                  $2.16

During August, 8,390 hours of direct labor time were needed to make 19,600 units of the Jogging Mate. The direct labor cost totaled $43,628 for the month.

1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to makes 19,600 Jogging Mates?

  • 19,600 jogging mates x 0.4 hours = 7,840 hours

2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH × SR) to make 19,600 Jogging Mates?

  • 7,840 hours x $5.40 = $42,336

3. What is the labor spending variance?

  • labor spending variance = standard cost - actual cost = $42,336 - $43,628 = $1,292 unfavorable

4. What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance?

  • labor rate variance = (standard rate - actual rate) x actual hours = ([$5.40 - ($43,628/8,390 hours)] x 8,390 hours = ($5.40 - $5.20) x 8,390 hours = $0.20 x 8,390 = $1,678 favorable
  • labor efficiency variance = (standard hours - actual hours) x actual rate = (7,840 hours - 8,390 hours) x $5.20 = -550 hours x $5.20 = -$2,860 unfavorable
