Answer:

1. fall

2. Larger

3. more

Explanation:

The price elasticity is relative measure of change in demand. When the demand of heating oil decreases due to increase in price then the heating oil is considered as price elastic. The elasticity of heating oil is 0.2 in the short run and 0.7 in the long run which means customers respond less in change of demand in short run due to change in price. When the price of heating oil increases, the demand will fall in the short run.

In the short run customers may not find time to respond to the change in price. The change in demand in short run is smaller and change in demand in Long run will be larger.

The price elasticity of heating oil is more in long run because customer may find alternate sources at a cheaper rate and may switch to it causing a greater fall in demand of heating oil.

Marsha’s Pet Store employs six employees. Their duties are to sell pets, replenish the stock, keep the pets’ cages clean, feed t

Gemiola [76]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

People sometimes have a tendency of doing only what they are told to do or only what they are paid for. This is why most people who progress in a company do so on the basis of having done work that was not in their description, but would have helped the company progress.

It would appear that Marsha's 6 employees are all of the caliber of employees who just do what they are told and nothing more.

For this reason therefore, she would include a stipulation changing the scheme to include careful performance of the other duties before any sales commission can be earned. This way they'll start to do those other things since they are now paid to do so.

Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently established a standard cost system to help control c

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

1. a. The materials price and quantity variances

Material price variance: Standard cost per micron is $1.50 and actual cost per micron is $1.48. So, price variance is 1.48 - 1.5 = $(0.02) per micron

Quantity variance: Based on standard bill of material, Dawson Toys need 3,000 x 6 = 18,000 microns to produce 3,000 Maze toys. Actual consumption volume is 25,000 - 5,000 = 20,000 microns. So, quantity variance is 20,000 - 18,000 = 2,000 microns.

1. b. The labor rate and efficiency variances

Actual labor rate = Actual labor cost / Actual hour = 88,000/4,000 = $22 per hour.

Efficiency variance = Actual labor rate - Standard labor rate = 22 - 21 = $1 per hour.

2. Prepare a brief explanation of the possible causes of each variance.

Direct material cost variance: Total actual material cost is 20,000 x 1.48 = $29,600, higher than standard material cost of 18,000 x 1.5 = $27,000. This is mainly due to higher production waste as compared to standards.

Direct labor cost variance: Total actual labor cost is $88,000, higher than standard labor cost of 4,000 x 21 = $84,000. This is mainly due to lower labor rate per hour than expected.

A company purchases and uses 40000 gallons of materials for which they paid $3 a gallon. The materials price variance was $90000

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

the standard price per gallon is $5.25

Explanation:

the computation of the standard price per gallon is given below;

Materials Price Variance = Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)

$90,000 = 40,000 × (Standard Price - $3)

$2.25 = Standard Price - $3

Standard Price = $5.25

Hence, the standard price per gallon is $5.25

The same should be considered
