antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

d. the country would rank low on the accounting values of conservatism

Explanation:

Gray's accounting framework postulates that the 4 accounting values of professionalism, conservatism, secrecy, and uniformity can be used to predict differences in accounting systems internationally.

Uncertainty avoidance is the degree to which cultures tolerate unpredictability.

Counties with high uncertainty avoidance are more conservative for example Japan.

While countries that have low uncertainty avoidance are less conservative. They are flexible to change and more willing to take risks.

Agan Interior Design provides home and office decorating assistance to its customers. In normal operation, an average of 2.5 cus

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

A) Single-server single-phase model (M/M/1).

$\lambda=2.5 \,customers/hour\\\\\mu=6\,customers/hour$

B) The goal is not met, as the average time waiting for service is 5.56 minutes.

C) The new mean service rate is 7.5 customers/hour.

In this case, the average time waiting for service is 4 minutes, so the goal is met.

Explanation:

A) This situation can be modeled as a single-server single-phase model (M/M/1).

The mean arrival rate is 2.5 customers per hour.

$\lambda=2.5 \,customer/h$

The mean service rate is 6 customers per hour, calculated as:

$\mu=\frac{60\, min/h}{10 \,min/customer}=6\, customer/h$

B) The average waiting time for a customer can be expressed as:

$W_q=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\frac{1}{\mu-\lambda} =\frac{2.5}{6}\frac{1}{6-2.5} =0.417*0.222=0.093\,hours\\\\W_q=0.093\,hours*(60min/h)=5.56 \,min$

The average waiting time is 5.56 minutes, so it is more than the goal of 5 minutes.

C) If the average time spent per customer to 8 minutes, the mean service rate becomes

$\mu=\frac{60\, min/h}{8 \,min/customer}=7.5\, customer/h$

An the average waiting time for the service now becomes:

$W_q=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\frac{1}{\mu-\lambda} =\frac{2.5}{7.5}\frac{1}{7.5-2.5} =0.333*0.2=0.067\,hours\\\\W_q=0.067\,hours*(60min/h)=4 \,min$

The average time is now 4 minutes, so the goal is achieved.

Rogen Corporation manufactures a single product. The standard cost per unit of product is shown below.

OleMash [197]

Answer:

1. Material cost variance $

Standard material cost ($6 x 4,300) 25,800

Less: Actual ,aterial cost 27,900

Material cost variance 2,100(A)

2. Material price variance

= (Standard price - Actual price) x Actual quantity purchased

= ($6 - $6.20) x 4,500 pounds

= $900( A)

Actual price

= Actual material cost/Actual quantity purchased

Actual price

= $27,900/4,500 pounds = $6.20

3. Material usage variance

= (Standard quantity - Actual quantity used) x Standard price

= (1 x 4,300 - 4,500) x $6

= $1,200(A)

4. Labour cost variance: $

Standard labour cost ($18.30 x 4,300) 78,690

Less: Actual labour cost 77,500

Labour cost variance 1,190

5. Labour rate variance

=(Standard rate - Actual rate) x Actual hours worked

= ($12.20 - $12.40) x 6,250 hours

= $1,250(A)

6. Labour efficiency variance

= (Standard hours - actual hours worked) x Standard rate

= (1.50 hours x 4,300 - 6,250) x $12.20

= $2,440(F)

Actual rate = Actual labour cost/Actual hours worked

Actual rate = $77,500/6,250 hours

Actual rate = $12.40

= (SR - AR) x Actual hour worked

7. Total overhead variance $

Standard overhead cost ($24 x 4,300) 103,200

Less: Actual overhead cost(78,430+ 26,670) 105,100

Total overhead variance 1,900

Less: Actual overhead cost

Explanation:

Material cost variance is the difference between standard material cost and actual material cost.

Material price variance is the difference between standard price and actual price multiplied by actual quantity purchased.

Material usage variance is the difference between standard quantity and actual quantity used multiplied by standard price.

Labour cost variance is the difference between standard labour cost and actual labour cost.

Labour rate variance is the difference between standard rate and actual rate multiplied by actual hours worked.

Labour efficiency variance is the difference between standard hours and actual hours worked multiplied by standard rate.

Total overhead variance is the difference between standard total overhead cost and actual total overhead cost.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

E (Last one, you didn't put a letter for it)

Explanation:

The answer is E because a price reduction, depending on how large it is, will mostly have an effect on consumer, or in this case, customer sales. In this case, since it is a smaller percentage, it may not have a very big effect though.
