Instructions are listed below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production of 12-ounce cans has a standard unit quantity of 4.4 ounces of aluminum per can. During April, 304,000 cans were produced using 1,243,000 ounces of aluminum. The actual cost of aluminum was $0.17 per ounce and the standard price was $0.07 per ounce.
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= ( 0.07 - 0.17)*1,243,000= $124,300 unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (1,337,600 - 1,243,000)*0.07= $6,622 favorable

Chuck Marginal Tax Rate
a) The marginal tax rate for Chuck if he earns additional $40,000 taxable income will be:
= $75,000 + $40,000
= $115,000
Marginal tax rate for $115,000 is 24% according IRS tax rate schedule.
b) If instead, it is an additional deduction of $40,0000, the marginal tax rate will be:
= $75,000 - $40,000
= $35,000
The marginal tax rate for taxable income of $35,000 is 12% according US tax rate schedule.
Note: the interest is categorized as interest from municipal bond, so it is tax free.
It is also assumed that Chuck is single. Hence, tax rate under single filer applies to him.
Answer: 300 feet
Explanation:
Three important factors are involved in bringing a moving vehicle to a stop.
1. Perception distance is the distance a vehicle travels while your brain perceives the need to apply the brakes. An alert driver requires about 0.75 seconds to react. This time accounts for about 60 feet of travel.
2. Reaction distance is the distance traveled before the driver actually presses on the brake pedal. For an alert driver, this also takes about 0.75 seconds. This adds another 60 feet of travel.
3. Braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels before coming to a stop on a dry ground. On a slippery ground (after snow or rain) this distance is longer. On dry ground, the skidding distance is about 170 feet.
This means that an alert driver needs 60+60+170 = 290 feet (approximately 300 feet) to stop.
For this reason, tailgating at high driving speeds is dangerous.
