In response to a shortage caused by the imposition of a binding price ceiling on a market,
a. price will no longer be the mechanism that rations scarce resources.

c. sellers could ration the good or service according to their own personal biases.
A binding price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price of a good or service below the equilibrium price.
When price of a good is set below the equilibrium price of the good, the producer surplus would decreases and the consumer surplus would increase. This would lead to an excess of demand over supply. As a result, a shortage would occur. As a result of the shortage, black markets would occur.

Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. Raw material price variance is
= (standard price - actual price) × actual quantity
= ($10 - $11) × ($69,300 ÷ $11)
= ($10 - $11) × 6,300
= $6,300 unfavorable
b. The raw material usage variance is
= (Standard quantity - actual quantity) × standard price
= (525 × 13 - 6,300) × $10
= $5,250 favorable
In this way it should be calculated
Answer:
A. $424,000
Explanation:
current income = Taxable income - Federal tax + Depreciation disallowed + net capital loss carryover
= $400,000 - $136,000 + ($200,000 - $60,000) + $20,000
= $424000
Therefore, The corporation's current earnings and profits for 20X3 would be $424000.
Answer:
D) is 20% above expectations.
Explanation:
The Augusta Division was supposed to earn a net profit of $1,000,000 (= $2,000,000 - $1,000,000). Since the division's manager and his/her team were able to cut reduce fixed costs to $900,000 and increase contribution margin to $2,100,000 (either by increasing selling price or reducing variable costs), then the division earned a net profit of $1,200,000 (= $2,100,000 - $900,000). This net profit is 20% higher than expected, therefore the manager's (and his/her team's) overall performance was 20% above expectations.
