Answer:

B. corn is used in the production of chicken and the higher price of corn has decreased the supply of chicken

Explanation:

Since corn is often what is fed to chikens in order to make them grow, the higher demand on corn for the production of ethanol has made the corn price to go up and with that the cost of production of the chikens has also gone up, this is the correlation that exists between the increased demand of ethanol and the elevation in the cost of chiken.

Have you ever heard the phrase "there are lies, [email protected] lies and statistics"?

The only way that a statistical study be 100% confident is that it involves everyone or everything. For example, if you want to carry on a study about how many US college students drive, in order to be 100% confident of the result, you would need to interview all the college students in the country.

Jefferson Co. uses the following standard to produce a single unit of its product: Variable overhead $6 (2 hrs. per unit @ $3/hr
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

B. 6,000U

Explanation:

The total variable overhead variance shall be calculated using the following formula:

Variable overhead variance=(Actual units produced*Standard hours per unit* Standard rate per hour) - (Actual variable production overhead cost of actual production)

Standard rate per hour=$3

Standard hours per unit=2

Actual units produced=24,000

Actual variable production overhead cost of actual production=$150,000

Variable overhead variance=(24,000*2*3-150,000)

                                              =(144,000-150,000)

                                              =$6,000U

So the answer is B. 6,000U
