Answer:

1. buy more salads and fewer sandwiches.

Explanation:

As we know that

\textup{MU}_{S}=\textup{Marginal utility of Sadwitches}

\textup{MU}_{SA}=\textup{Marginal utility of Salad}

\textup{P}_{S}=\textup{Price of Sanswithches}

\textup{P}_{SA}=\textup{Price of Salads}

Therefore

\frac{MU_{S}}{MU_{SA}}=\frac{P_{S}}{P_{SA}}

\frac{MU_{S}}{MU_{SA}}=\frac{\$40}{\$40}=1

Now the price ratio is

\frac{P_{S}}{P_{SA}}=\frac{\$3}{\$2}=1.5

It is probable if you rising marginal utility numbering and reduce denominator marginal utility. If you reduce their intake, the MU of a food item will raise. Such decrease in the composition would make the quantity of the food element scarce. And its usefulness goes up. The Numerator here is sandwich MU. And to increase their marginal utility, you can reduce sandwich consumption.

Salad should need just the reverse. You raise salad intake so the MU reduces. Therefore you have to eat more salads and less chicken sandwiches to maximise the utility. So, salad is replaced by sandwiches for chicken.

frutty [35]

Answer:

Debit Work in process for $15,625

Debit Direct labor time variance for $625

Credit Direct labor rate variance for $650

Credit Wage payable for $15,600

Explanation:

Before preparing the journal, the following calculations are done first:

Wage payable = Actual hours * Actual rate per hour = 1,300 * $12 = $15,600

Direct labor time variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard direct labor rate = (1,300 - (1,000 * 1.25)) * $12.50 = $625 Unfavorable

Note: Direct labor time variance is Unfavorable because Actual hours is greater than Standard hours.

Direct labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours = ($12 - $12.50) * 1,300 = -$650 Favorable

Note: Direct labor rate variance if Favorable because Actual rate is lower than the Standard rate.

Work in process = Wage payable + Absolute value of direct labor rate variance - Direct labor time variance = $15,600 + $650 - $625 = $15,625

The journal entries will now look as follows:

<u>Date           Particulars                                         Debit ($)           Credit ($)   </u>

Mar. 31       Work in process                                  15,625

                  Direct labor time variance                      625

                  Direct labor rate variance                                                 650

                  Wage payable                                                               15,600
