Answer:

The principle of the Software Engineering Code of Ethics that Gilbert violated is:

Judgement (as related to full disclosure of personal involvement).

Explanation:

Gilbert is required by the Judgement Principle to "disclose those conflicts of interest that cannot reasonably be avoided or escaped."  Since Gilbert professionally believes that the software meets specifications, secures documents, and satisfies user requirements, it is not quite apparent if he violated any principle.  However, he could have informed his client of his personal interest in the software and also presented other software packages of other companies from which the client could make its independent choice.

Standard:

Fixed costs= $210

Variable cost per job= $86

Variable cost per meal= $15

The actual activity was 28 jobs and 217 meals. The actual cost for catering supplies in March was $5,830.

To calculate the spending variance, we need to use the following formula:

Spending variance= (actual costs - standard costs)

Standard costs= 210 + 28*86 + 15*217= 5,873

Spending variance= 5,830 - 5,873

Spending variance= $43 favorable

Acme Company has variable costs equal to 30% of sales. The company is considering a proposal that will increase sales by $12,000
mina [271]

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

The net income is the difference between the sales and total cost which comprises of the variable cost and fixed cost. The sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.

Let

u = number of units

s = selling price per unit

v = variable cost per unit

F = Fixed cost

I = Net income

I = su - F - vu

but vu = 0.3su

Hence

I = su - 0.3su - F = 0.7su - F

Given that the proposal will increase sales by $12,000,

New sales = su + 12000          ( in $)

and total fixed costs by $8,400

New fixed cost = F + 8400

New variable cost = 0.3( su + 12000) = 0.3su + 3600

New net income = su + 12000 - 0.3su - 3600 - F - 8400

= 0.7su - F

New net income is same as the old net income hence no increase.
