Answer:

The difference between the standard and actual price paid for the materials is $0.5.

Explanation:

Given Data:

Actual Quantity = 12,000 Pounds

Material Price Variance = $6,000

We know the formula for Material Price Variance is:

Materials Price Variance = <em>(Actual quantity × Actual price)</em> – <em>(Actual quantity × Standard price) ----- (1)</em>

For convenience, suppose:

Actual  Price = AP    &  Standard Price = SP

Rearranging the equation (1) and substituting the Actual and standard price with AP and SP we get,

Material Price Variance = (Actual Quantity x AP) – (Actual Quantity x SP)

Taking Actual Quantity as common on the left hand side of equation we get:

Material Price Variance= Actual Quantity (AP – SP) ---- (2)

Putting the values of Material Variance and Actual Quantity in equation (2), we get:

$6000=12,000 (AP – SP)

Rearranging the equation we get,

AP – SP = $6000/12,000

Finally, AP – SP = $0.5

Conclusion:

The difference between the standard and actual price paid for the materials is $0.5.

On January 1, Mumford purchased 10% of Heller's common stock. On September 1, it purchased another 30% of Heller's common stock.
professor190 [17]

10% of Heller's income for January 1 to August 31, plus 40% of Heller's income for the remainder of the year.

Explanation:

In spite of a retrospective strategy, Mumford puts the 10 per cent owned by the creditor firm together with the 30% purchased on Sep 1 which accounts for 40 per cent of the sales of Heller.

Retrospective, the committee focuses on the team members ' collaboration and looks for ways to enhance the process, based on the lessons learned in the recent work .

It is time to reflect on past events and experiences – outside the daily routine.

Retrospective thinking occurs whenever one remembers something from the past, but one can also think retrospectively about hypothetical future events, by imagining that the event has already transpired and then working backward in the mind from the future toward the present.
