The correct answer is A)  The name of the product, when translated into Greek, has an unintentional meaning.

Explanation:

In business, communication problems can emerge due to a difference in language that prevents the business from communicating appropriately its purpose, name, slogan, and from advertising its products. This mainly occurs if the translation does not reflect the original meaning or there are cultural features that create a barrier.

This situation occurs in "The name of the product when translated into Greek, has an unintentional meaning" because due to the lack of experience of the manager in Greece and the differences in language, she does not know how to communicate in Greek the name of the company, which creates a communicative barrier as Greek customers will not understanding the real meaning of the company.

Answer:

a. Determine the standard cost per unit for direct materials and direct labor.

standard direct labor rate = $20 x 30/60 minutes = $10 per faucet

standard direct materials rate = $1.80 x 2.5 lbs = $4.50 per faucet

b. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance.

direct materials price variance = (actual price x actual quantity) - (standard price x actual quantity) = ($1.95 x 13,000) - ($1.80 x 12,500) = $25,350 - $22,500 = $2,850 UNFAVORABLE

direct materials quantity variance = (standard price x actual quantity) -(standard price x standard quantity) = ($1.80 x 13,000) - ($1.80 x 12,500) = $23,400 - $22,500 = $900 UNFAVORABLE

total direct materials variance = direct materials price variance + direct materials quantity variance = $2,850 + $900 = $3,750 UNFAVORABLE

Natali5045456 [20]

If the government takes this approach, consumer surplus would increase.

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. A natural monopoly occurs when there is a high start-up cost associated with opening a business or a firm enjoys economies of scale.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good. As the price of a good declines, consumer surplus increases. P2 is lower than P1, this means that if price is regulated to P2, consumer surplus would increase.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable costs are $0.50 per unit.

Current monthly sales are 183,000 units.

Heaven Company has contacted Marx Company about purchasing 15,000 units at $1.00 each.

Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.

Sales= 15,000*1= 15,000

Variable cost= 15,000*0.5= (7,500)

Effect on income= 7,500 increase
