<h2>Answer </h2>

FIFO inventory method is used.

<u>Explanation </u>

Health Defense is using FIFO (First In First Out Method) Inventory method. Under periodic inventory system, no frequent recording is made throughout the year. Rather physical count is done at the end of the period and cost is assigned to the remaining inventory accordingly. If FIFO inventory method is used in periodic inventory system, ending inventory is valued using the most recent purchases which is the case here.

Opening Inventory :  18 units

Purchased :  30 units

Sold : 24 units

Purchased : 24 units

Sold : 27 units

Ending Inventory therefore is  : 18+30-24+24-27 = 21 units

Dividing the amount of ending inventory by the remaining units in inventory will give us $17 which is the price of most recent purchases.

$357/21 = $17

Answer:

NorthTel Wireless Services is an example of an organization with option<u> </u><u>B) Unity of Command</u>

Explanation:

Unity of Command is a management theory that is used by small, medium, large scale businesses and government. It has a lot of advantages in comparison with others like Centralized, decentralized, line managers and work specialization.

Unity of command provides that an employee is responsible to only one supervisor, who in turn is responsible to another supervisor, and so on up the organizational hierarchy.

To to demonstrate how unity of command works from the bottom up. Consider  NorthTel Wireless Services where Astrid, a customer service represnetative answers to her manager, DeShawn who in turn answers to another supervisor and so on.

When you are at the bottom rung and you supervise no one. However, you do answer to your unit supervisor, who answers to her department manager. The department manager answers to the vice president of operations, who answers to the CEO. The CEO answers to the chairman of the board of directors.

The Assembly Department produced 1,000 units of product during March. Each unit required 1.25 standard direct labor hours. There
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
