Answer:

B

Explanation:

Bid rotation is when contractors collude and  take turns in winning a bid. Colluding contractors submit bids but take turns being the low bidder.

Bid-tailoring is when an employee in collusion with a contractor tailors bid specifications to give an unfair advantage to a certain contractor.

Complementary bids are bids intended only to give the appearance of a genuine bid. Colluding  bidders submit higher priced or deliberately defective bids to in order to ensure the selection of the designated winner at inflated prices.  

Phantom bids are fake bids

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

$429.60 Favorable

Explanation:

Provided information,

Standard Hours for each product = 3 hours

Standard Cost per hour = $14.00

Actual hours used = 198

Actual output = 80 connectors

Standard hours for actual output = 80 \times 3 = 240 hours

Actual Rate = $14.80 per hour

Direct labor cost variance = Standard Cost - Actual Cost

Standard Cost = Standard hours \times Standard Rae

= 240 \times $14 = $3,360

Actual Cost = 198 \times $14.80 = $2,930.40

Variance = $3,360 - $2,930.40 = $429.60

Since actual cost is less than standard variance is favorable.

$429.60 Favorable
