Answer: a) increase in the demand for Kindles.
Explanation: the substitution effect for substitute goods gives that, if the price of good A rises, the demand for good B rises. Since a substitute good is a good that can be used in place of another, they are goods that a consumer perceives as similar or are comparable, in such a way that having more of one good causes the consumer to desire less of the other good. From the viewpoint of price, and given that consumers always prefer to spend less in instances where two goods are substitutes, it then means that Kindle can be used and preferred in place of Nooks given that the price of Nooks had gone up. Therefore, increasing the price of Nooks causes a corresponding increase in the demand for Kindles.
Answer:
d.total factory overhead cost variance.
Explanation:
In manufacturing accounting, at the beginning of the period, manufacturing overheads (i.e. costs other than Direct Material and Direct Labor) has been applied to Work-in-process using a predetermined overhead rate. At the end of the period, if the manufacturing overhead account shows a debit balance, that signifies that overhead has been under-applied (i.e. the manufacturing overhead cost applied to work in process is <u>less </u>than the actual manufacturing overhead cost for the period), and contrariwise if the manufacturing overhead account shows a credit balance, it means the overhead is over-applied (i.e. the manufacturing overhead cost applied to work in process is <u>more </u>than the actual manufacturing overhead cost for the period). In any case this balance warrants an adjustment to close out the books, by transferring it to the cost of goods sold account.

Answer:
The operation manager would want the inventory in front of process A based on the lean system.
Explanation:
To fully understand the basis on which we chose the answer, we need to define what a lean system is.
A Lean system refers to a business process plan. More a of business model canvass that meticulously deal with business process plan and development for the purpose of achieving maximum value in production, client and customer satisfaction while still at a reduced cost of running business. It should also be noted that the lean system is mostly a continuum of existing process and subsequent process progress are mostly determined by the level of integrity attained by the primary design stage.
With the understanding gotten from the definition above, it then obvious from the narrative of the question that the process is consecutive. As such, follows a pattern of A to B to C and thus the level of integrity of process design achieved at A will be passed down to B and C.
This is the more reason why the operation manager will prefer to to want an inventory at A which is the primary point of start.
