To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (5 - 4.9)*14,000

Direct material price variance= $1,400 favorable

Actual price= 68,600/14,000= $4.9

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (1,500*10 - 14,000)*5

Direct material quantity variance= $5,000 favorable

To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (5*1,500 - 7,600)*10

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $1,000 unfavorable

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Direct labor rate variance= (10 - 10.5)*7,600

Direct labor rate variance= $3,800 unfavorable

Actual rate= 79,800 / 7,600= $10.5

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Payback method considers the time that a project takes to payback the capital invested in it from its net cash flows.

Projects that have a short payback period are preferred by investors because the capital invested takes a shorter time to be repaid. That is shorter risk period.

Net present value is a consideration of the expected future cash flows in a project. It is the difference between the net present value of an asset and the present value of cash flows over a certain period. It's calculation is based on a lot of assumptions so it is probe to error.

Payback method is preferred because the effective lives of information system tend to be short and shorter payback projects are often desirable.
