Answer:
a. Determine the standard cost per unit for direct materials and direct labor.
standard direct labor rate = $20 x 30/60 minutes = $10 per faucet
standard direct materials rate = $1.80 x 2.5 lbs = $4.50 per faucet
b. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance.
direct materials price variance = (actual price x actual quantity) - (standard price x actual quantity) = ($1.95 x 13,000) - ($1.80 x 12,500) = $25,350 - $22,500 = $2,850 UNFAVORABLE
direct materials quantity variance = (standard price x actual quantity) -(standard price x standard quantity) = ($1.80 x 13,000) - ($1.80 x 12,500) = $23,400 - $22,500 = $900 UNFAVORABLE
total direct materials variance = direct materials price variance + direct materials quantity variance = $2,850 + $900 = $3,750 UNFAVORABLE
Answer:
Letter C is correct. <em>A firm that relies on high output controls to tap into intrinsic motivation.</em>
Explanation:
By carefully selecting the employees of his consulting firm, Mona ensures that each employee's expected competency and skills profile has been met through rigorous selection, which enhances the chances that operational strategies will be more widely deployed and accepted effective.

Answer:
Bellisima's opportunity cost:
-
Production of corn per million hours of labor = 8 / 16 = 0.5 pairs of jeans
- Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 16 / 8 = 2 bushels of rye
Dolorium's opportunity cost:
-
Production of corn per million hours of labor = 5 / 20 = 0.25 pairs of jeans
- Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 20 / 5 = 4 bushels of rye
Dolorium has a comparative advantage int he production of rye while Bellisima has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans.
If both countries specialize:
- Dolorium will produce 80 million bushels of rye.
- Bellisima will produce 32 million pairs of jeans.
Total production of rye has increased by 12 million bushels.
Total production of jeans has increased by 9 million pairs.

Price discrimination is when the same product is sold at different prices to customers in different markets
types of price discrimination
1. first degree price discrimination : here sellers charge each consumer at their willingness to pay in order to eliminate consumer surplus.
