Answer:

Developing nations are concerned with commodity price stabilization because of the following reasons

There are high price elasticity of supply and demand for many commodities
Developing economies are often highly dependent on the export of just one or a few commodities.

Explanation:

In recent decades there has been growing concern about the sharp fluctuations of primary product prices, the effects of those fluctuations on particular groups of producers and particular countries, and the measures which might be taken to reduce or offset the fluctuations.

Producing countries have been dominated by proposals for stabilizing world prices of commodities, in particular via the establishment of a “Common Fund” within the framework of UNCTAD's Integrated Program for Commodities.

Peking Palace Company reported the following: Standard quantity per unit 3 lbs. Standard price per pound $2.75 Actual pounds use

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

$577.5 favorable

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Standard quantity per unit 3 lbs

Standard price per pound = $2.75

Actual pounds used = 15,000 lbs

Actual price per pound = $2.90

Number of units produced = 5,070

Now,

The direct materials quantity variance is given as;

= | ( Actual quantity - Standard quantity ) | × Standard price

= ( 15,000 lbs - {Standard quantity per unit × units produced}) × $2.75

= ( 15,000 lbs - { 3 × 5,070}) × $2.75

= | ( 15,000 lbs - 15,210 ) | × $2.75

= $577.5

Since,

Standard quantity is higher than the actual quantity

thus,

$577.5 favorable

astraxan [27]

Answer:

Under allocation= 1,000 underallocated

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Dukes Corporation used a predetermined overhead rate this year of $2 per direct labor-hour, based on an estimate of 20,000 direct labor-hours to be worked during the year. Actual costs and activity during the year were: Actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 38,000 Actual direct labor-hours worked 18,500

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 2*18,500= $37,000

Real overhead= 38,000

Over/under allocation= real MOH - allocated MOH

Under allocation= 38,000 - 37,000= 1,000 underallocated
