Answer:

b) Direct materials price.

Explanation:

The purchasing manager would be associated to the quantity purchased and for the purchase price it is bought.

Therefore, labor variances are not his consideration.

And also in material variances we know, direct material quantity variance is calculated for the quantity <em>used</em> in production and not the quantity purchased, although the later is dealt by purchase manager the former relates to production manager.

Purchase manager is responsible and concentrates on the price at which the direct material is bought.

Thus, the correct option is

b) Direct materials price.

The amount of material used in making a custom sail for a sailboat is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 64 squar

Advocard [28]

Answer:

option (B) 912 ± 42.6

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Standard deviation = 64 square feet

Sample size, n = 15

Mean = 912

Confidence level = 99%

Now,

Confidence interval = Mean ± z[s ÷ √n]

here,

z = 2.58 for 99% confidence level

Thus,

Confidence interval = 912 ± 2.58[64 ÷ √15]

Confidence interval = 912 ± [ 2.58 × 16.525 ]

Confidence interval = 912 ± 42.63

= 912 ± 42.6

Hence,

The answer is option (B) 912 ± 42.6

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one:

A wood products company has decided to purchase new logging equipment for $100,000 with a trade-in of its old equipment. The old equipment has a BV of $10,000 at the time of the trade-in. The new equipment will be kept for 10 years before being sold. Using the MACRS (GDS recovery period), what is the depreciation charge permissible at year 1?

Depreciable value using MACRS is $100,000 and logging equipment is classified as 7 year class, and I will use the half-year convention:

depreciation year 1 = $100,000 x 14.29% = $14,290
