Monopolies engage in price discrimination possible because they can get away with it.
A monopoly is where only one seller sells a particular good. Because of this, the seller has the power to dictate the price of the good to the extend of giving the good the highest price possible that a consumer is willing to pay.
Consumers must pay the price of said product because they can not get the same product from any other seller.
Answer: $3,875 Favorable
Explanation: We can compute direct labor efficiency variance by using following formula :-
Direct labor efficiency variance = standard rate ( actual hours - standard hours)
where,
standard hours = 5,500units * 0.5 hour = 2750 hours
actual hours = 3,000 hours
standard rate = $15.5
putting the values into equation we get :-
Direct labor efficiency variance = $15.5 ( 3,000 - 2750)
= $3,875 Favorable
