Answer: culture

Explanation:

Culture is the custom, ideas, and the social behaviour of a particular society. For an organization to develop a marketing strategy that is successful, the organization must consider the cultural influences of the people where a new product will be introduced.

People make decisions on the consumption of a product usually on their cultural influences. The Nike advertisement involving Chinese was an example of cultural influences in marketing strategy.

ikadub [295]

Answer: This question lacks the following answers:

a. market share pricing

b. profit maximization

c. demand orientation

d. sales maximization

<u>The correct answer is b)</u>

Explanation:

The practice of giving away free things (mobile accessories) can be good after the launch of a new product range, or even when the company itself is entirely new. However, it is not feasible in the long run, as the company <u>does not generate profit</u> from giving products for free.

Giving discounts is definitely more lucrative, as the discount itself provides enough of an incentive for the customer to buy the accessory. On the company side, <em>profit </em>will be generated (although decreased with the discount, but still generated compared to giving free things).

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

a.

In part a, we need to find the following 3 requirements:

1. Direct Materials Price Variance

2. Direct Materials Quantity Variance

3. Total Direct Materials Cost Variance

Direct Materials Price Variance:

It can be calculated by using the following formula:

DMPV = AQ multiplied by (AP minus the SP)

Where,  

DMPV = Direct Materials Price Variance

AQ = Actual Quantity

AP = Actual Price

SP = Standard Price

We do have all the data, so just plug in the values into the above equation to get the DMPV.

AQ = 101,000

AP  = 6.50 USD

SP = 6.40 USD

So,

DMPV = 101,000 ( 6.50 - 6.40)

DMPV = 10,100 USD

Direct Materials Quantity Variance:

DMQV = SP ( AQ - SQ )

Where,

DMQV = Direct Materials Quantity Variance = ?

SP  = Standard Price  = 6.40 USD

AQ = Actual Quantity  = 101,000

SQ = Standard Quantity  = 100,000

Plugging in the values:

DMQV  = 6.40  ( 101,000 - 100,000)

DMQV = 6400 USD

Total Direct Materials Cost Variance:

DMCV = SMC - AMC

Where,

DMCV =  Direct Materials Cost Variance = ?

SMC = Standard Market Cost = 6.40 USD x 100,000

AMC = Actual market Cost = 6.50 USD x 101,000

DMCV = (6.40 USD x 100,000) - (6.50 USD x 101,000)

DMCV = 640,000 - 656,500

DMCV =  16,500 USD

b.

For part b, we need following particulars:

1. Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV)

2. Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV)

3. Direct Labor Cost Variance  (DLCV)

Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV) :

DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH

Where,

ADLR  = Actual Direct Labor Rate = 15.40 USD

SDLR = Standard Direct Labor Rate = 15.75 USD

ADLH = Actual Direct Labor Hour = 2000

So,

DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH

DLRV =  (15.40 USD  - 15.75 USD  ) x 2000

DLRV = 700 USD

Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV):

DLTV = ( ADLH - SDLH ) x SDLR

SDLH = Standard Direct Labor Hour = 2080

DLTV = ( 2000  - 2080 ) x 15.75 USD  

DLTV = 1260 USD

Direct Labor Cost Variance  (DLCV)

DLCV = SDLC - ADLC

SDLC = Standard Direct Labor Cost  

ADLC = Actual Direct Labor Cost

DLCV =  (1540 x 2000) - (15.75 x 2080)

DLCV = 1960 USD

c.

For Part c, we need following:

1. variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV)

2. fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV)

3. Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV)

variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV):

VFOCV =  AFO - B

Where,

AFO = Actual Factory Overhead  = 8200

B = Budgeted Allowance Based on Standard Hours Allowed = 4160x0.5x4

B = 8320 USD

VFOCV =  8200 - 8320  

VFOCV =   120 USD

fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV) :

FFOVV = (S - BH ) x SOR

Where,

S = Standard Hours for actual output = 4160 x 0.5

BH = Budgeted Hours = 2080

SOR = Standard Overhead Rate = 6 USD

FFOVV = (4160 x 0.5  - 2080) x 6

FFOVV =  0 USD

Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV):

TFOCV = AFO - SO

Where,

AFO = Actual Factory Overhead = 20,200

SO = Standard Overhead = 2080 x 10

TFOCV =  20,200 - ( 2080 x 10  )

TFOCV =  600 USD

Suppose that a person's nominal income rises from $10,000 to $12,000 and the consumer price index rises from 100 to 105. The per
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

C) Rise about 15 percent

Explanation:

The computation of the increase or decrease of real income is shown below:

Initial income equals to

= Nominal income ÷ Consumer price index

= $10,000 ÷ 100

= 100

If it increases, then it would be

= Nominal income ÷ Consumer price index

= $12,000 ÷ 105

= 114.28

So, the real income is increased from

= 114.28 - 100

= 14.28 approx i.e 15 percent

PB3.
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The unit costs are $ 4.87 for 70 % Conversion Costs

The unit costs are $ 5.54 for finished goods

Explanation:

Total Materials cost = $ 115,080

Material Costs  for one unit= $ 115,080/ 34000= $ 3.3847= $ 3.39

Conversion Costs= $ 72,072

Conversion Costs for one unit = $ 72072/34000 * 70%= $ 1.4838= $ 1.48

Total Cost per unit= $ 3.39 + $ 1.48= $ 4.87

Process Cost summary

Quantity Schedule

Materials = ($3.39 *34,000)=                   $ 115,080

Cost Added by Department:                     Total Cost             Unit Cost

Materials=                                                  $ 115,080                $ 3.39

Conversion Costs

Labor + Overheads ( 1.48 * 34,000)=       $ 50,320               $ 1.48

Units still in process ($ 72072- $ 50320) = $ 19,752              $0.58

Total cost to be accounted for                   $ 187,152                $ 5.54
