lord [1]

Answer:

C. $78,250 Unfavorable.

Explanation:

We know,

Material cost variance = (Standard quantity × Standard price) - (Actual Quantity × Actual price)

Given,

Standard quantity = 405,000 units

Standard price = $2.00 unit

Actual Quantity = 403,750 units

Actual price = $2.20 unit

Putting the values into the formula, we can get

Material cost variance = (Standard quantity × Standard price) - (Actual Quantity × Actual price)

Material cost variance = (405,000 × $2.00) - (403,750 × $2.20)

Material cost variance = $810,000 - $888,250

Material cost variance = -78,250

Material cost variance = 78,250 (Unfavorable)

Therefore, C is the answer.

Your friend Burrell says that the government should hire fewer social workers in order to reduce the cost of federal assistance

BARSIC [14]

Answer: b) peoples' responses to financial incentives.

Explanation:

Burrell would be wrong because the most leakage in federal assistance programs comes from the way people respond to financial incentives.

Some people who have received this assistance from the Federal government have decided that it would be better to keep receiving this assistance instead of working to actually get paid.

This has led to more people seeking assistance thereby increasing the number of people needing assistance and invariably increasing the cost of these federal assistance programs.
