And the option(d) direct labor efficiency variance do not relate with material variance.

Answer:
From maintenance to department B will be allocated 85,333 dollars
Explanation:
We distribute maintenance over personnel and operating and then,
we distributed the accumulated in personnel over the operating department:

<em><u>For the given question it would be:</u></em>
total maintenance-hours: 800 + 960 + 640 = 2,400
<u>allocation of maintenance:</u>
320,000 x 640/2400 = 85,333
Answer: 4%
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Pension plan assets were $1,200 million at the beginning of the year and $1,252 million at the end of the year and that at the end of the year, retiree benefits paid by the trustee were $28 million and cash invested in the pension fund was $32 million.
Based on the above scenario, the percentage rate of return on plan assets goes thus:
Opening balance of plan assets 1200
Add:- Actual return = 48
Add:- contributions = 32
Less :- retiree benefits = -28
Closing balance of plan assets = 1252
It should be noted that the actual return is the balancing figure which is calculated as:
= 1252 + 28 - 1200 - 32
= 48
The percentage rate of return on plan assets will now be:
= 48/1200
=0.04
= 4%
(C) the software provides a company a competitive advantage by solving problems in a unique manner
Proprietary software is a special software designed for a specific application and owned by the organization, firm or individual that uses it. Proprietary software can give an organization leverage over competitors, by solving problems in a unique manner, however, off-the-shelf software is mass produced software used by several other organizations, thereby giving other organizations simple and identical problem-solving technique.
