Answer:
$33,700 (Favorable)
Explanation:
Note: Figures are not inputted. The missing figures have been figured out as below.
"<em>Nexus industries uses a standard costing system to apply manufacturing costs to its production process. In May nexus anticipated 2700 units with fixed manufacturing overhead costs allocated at $8.40 per direct labor hour with a standard of 2.5 direct labor hours per unit. In May, actual production was 3400 units and actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost were $23000. What was nexus fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance in May</em>?"
Solution:
Budgeted fixed overhead costs = Units * Direct labor cost * Standard Direct Labor hours per unit
= 2,700 units * $8.40 * 2.5
= 2,700 units * 21
= $56,700
Fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance = Actual fixed overhead cost - Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs
When Actual fixed overhead = $23,000
, Budgeted fixed overhead costs = $56,700
Fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance = $23,000 - $56,700
= $33,700 (Favorable)

Answer: $30,000
Explanation:
Company estimates that 60% of boxtops will be redeemed.
They sold 500,000 boxes
= 500,000 * 60%
= 300,000 boxtops will be sent in.
So far, 220,000 have been sent in. How many left;
= 300,000 - 220,000
= 80,000 boxtops are still to be sent in
4 boxtops are needed to receive a pottery bowl so with 80,000;
= 80,000/4
= 20,000 pottery bowls are due to be issued.
Each bowl costs $2.50 to make. Customers will send in $1 however so effectively it will cost the company;
= 2.50 - 1
= $1.50
With 20,000 still left to be issued, each costing $1.50, the total liabilitiy for outstanding premiums to be recorded at the end of 2007 is;
= 20,000 * 1.5
= $30,000
Answer: pricing
Explanation:
Pricing is the determination of an exchange price acceptable to both the buyer and the seller of a product.
When a seller is determining the price of a product, she considers cost of production, projected revenue, price of competitors, market condition and regulation.
A buyer would consider the quality of the product ,economic conditions and utility when deciding on the price to acquire a product.
The different types of pricing strategies are -
1. Penetration pricing - when prices are set very low to attract customers and to gain access into a market.
2. Premium pricing- when prices are set very high so that the product would appeal to certain consumers.
Answer:
(1) RFID TAGS FROM A GREATER DISTANCE THAN BARCODE WHEN TAGGING INVENTORIES.
(2) RFID TAGS CAN BE READ AT A FARTHER DISTANCE THAN BARCODE.
(3) RFID TAG MUST NIT BE IN LINE WITH THE SCANNER FOR IT TO IDENTIFY AND READ INVENTORIES.
Explanation:RFID(RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION) uses electromagnetic fields to track and identify by reading and capturing the information stored on a tag attached to an object. It is a generally accepted and has been widely used in variety of industries including Supply chain,Human resources, inventory management etc
(1) RFID TAGS FROM A GREATER DISTANCE THAN BARCODE WHEN TAGGING INVENTORIES.

(3) RFID TAG MUST NOT BE IN LINE WITH THE SCANNER FOR IT TO IDENTIFY AND READ INVENTORIES.
Answer:
26 packages
Explanation:
Given that:
The demand D = 186 packages in a week
Standard deviation = 13packages
The lead time L = 1.5 weeks
Order quantity Q = 750 packages
The Confidence service Level = 0.95
At the service level (SL) if we find the P(Z) of the SL using Excel, we have:
P(Z) = NORMSINV(0.95)
P(Z) = 1.64
Thus;
the safety stock = Z × SD√L

= 1.64 \times 13 (1.224745)
= 1.64\times15.92
= 26.11156
≅ 26 packages
