Answer:
C) abandon the production of jam to fully specialize in the production of peanut butter and then trade with Company Q for jam.
Explanation:
According to different theories about trade specialization, a company or even a country should specialize in producing only those products that they can make better than their competition, i.e. have a comparative or absolute advantage in their production.
In this case, since Company R has a comparative advantage in the production of peanut butter, it should specialize in producing only that. In case they need jam, they should trade with Company Q in order to get some jam. Eventually Company Q will only produce jam since they have a comparative advantage in jam production.

A flexible budget is prepared in order to compare how budgeted revenues and costs actually worked out. In other words, if actual revenues and costs were similar to the budget previously prepared. A flexible budget adjusts actual results and helps management control how efficient the company was in following their budget. That is why a flexible budget is done after the budgeted period is over.
Fixed costs should not change (that is why they are fixed), but variable costs should change if the actual output was different than the budgeted output.

Answer: $3.10
Explanation:
The actual price per pound of direct materials purchased in June will be calculated as follows:
Let the actual price be represented by x.
Material price variance is calculated as:
= (standard price-actual price) × actual quantity
-2000 = (3 × 20000) - 20000x
-2000 = 60000 - 20000x
20000x = 60000 + 2000
20000x = 62000
x = 62000/20000
x = 3.1
Therefore, the actual price per pound of direct material bought in June is $3.10
