Answer:
b.) While some job loss may occur as a result of automation, the potential for job creation exists
Explanation:
Automation is the process by which a the production process that is usually managed by people becomes mechanised.
The control and monitoring functions that people usually do is now transferred to automatic devices.
While this will cause some job loss as a result of lack of skill to operate the new machines, it will also result in an avenue for fresh employment.
Employees can acquire the required skill to operate the machines that are now used in the production process.
<span>The term supply chain refers to the somewhat extensive process and means needed in transferring or transporting a product from the supplier to the customer. Supply chain uses both physical and information flows to achieve this end result. The three components of a physical flow of a supply chain are the transformation, movement, and storage of materials.</span>
Answer:
a. $13
b. $20,625 Unfavorable
Explanation:
a. Computation of overhead volume variance is shown below:-
Variable overhead rate = Variable overhead cost ÷ Expected standard hours
= $275,000 ÷ 25,000
= 11 direct labor hour
Fixed overhead rate = Productive capacity ÷ Expected standard hours
= $50,000 ÷ 25,000
= $2 direct labor hour
Total overheard rate = Variable overhead rate + Fixed overhead rate
= $11 + $2
= $13
b. The computation of overhead controllable variance is shown below:-
Variable overhead cost = Overhead rate × Standard hours
= $11 × 21,875
= $240,625
Fixed overhead cost = Overhead rate × Standard hours
= $2 × 21,875
= $43,750
Total overhead cost = $13 × 21,875
= $284,375
Actual result = $305,000
Variance = Actual result - overhead cost applied
= $305,000 - $284,375
= $20,625 Unfavorable
Working note:-
Standard direct labor hours = Actual units ÷ Standard hours
= 35,000 × 1.6
= $21,875
Standard units per hour = (Standard capacity × Expected production) ÷ Standard hours
= (50,000 units × 80%) ÷ 25,000 hours
= 1.6 units per hour
Dividends per share by definition is how much did each share of the company receive in dividends.
You take the total dividend paid and divide by the number of outstanding shares
3.20 million / 4 million = dividends per share.
