<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

 <u>Purchased</u>    

Date Description        Units Value Per unit cost  

1st august Purchase 300       1560           5.20  

12th august Purchase 400       2340                 5.85  

24th august Purchase 400      2520                6.30  

30th august Purchase 300       1980                6.60  

                      Total      1400 8400        

The Closing quantity = 500

The number of Units that have been sold = 900

Value of inventory as per First in first out ( FIFO) method is calculated as follows

(200 * 6.30)+(300 * 6.60) = 3240

Therefore, the answer is $3240.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

She expects that a typical shawl should take 4 hours to​ produce, and the standard wage rate is $ 10.00 per hour. An average shawl uses 12 skeins of wool. Marina shops around for good​ deals, and expects to pay $ 3.30 per skein.

For ​ April, Mauriona​'s workers produced 200 shawls using 784 hours and 3,360 skeins of wool. Mauriona bought wool for $ 10,420 ​(and used the entire​ quantity), and incurred labor costs of $ 8,100.

1)

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Actual price= 3.10

Direct material price variance= (3.3 - 3.10)*3,360= $672 favorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= [(12*200) - 3,360]*3.3= $3,168 unfavorable

Direct labor efficiency variance= (SQ - AQ)*standard rate

Direct labor efficiency variance= [(4*200) - 784]*10= $160 favorable

Direct labor price variance= (SR - AR)*AQ

Direct labor price variance= (10 - 10.33)*784= 258.72 unfavorable

An argument for trade tariffs is that it protects infant industries.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The infant industry argument is an economic rationale for trade protectionism. The core of the argument is that nascent industries often do not have the economies of scale that their older competitors from other countries may have, and thus need to be protected until they can attain similar economies of scale.
