Answer:
The number of new clients will increase by
12/3 = 4
Therefore, the number of new clients will increase by 4.
Explanation:
In getting new client, Sam takes 5hours, while Terasa takes 3hours.
In preparing food, Sam takes 10hours while Teresa takes 12hours.
It can be seen that Sam has absolute advantage and comparative advantage in preparation of food, while Tesesa has absolute advantage and comparative advantage in getting new client.
Sam with the comparative advantage in food preparation will take over preparing food for one more event by taking the necessary time away from getting more clients, and Teresa will use the freed-up time from not preparing food for one event to get more clients.
Teresa will free up 12hours she used in the preparation of food.
Since she use 3hours to get new client, She will get
12/3, which equals 4 number of clients
Answer:
Total materials variance = (Actual quantity * Actual price) - (Standard quantity * Standard price)
= 2,850 - (230 * 14.4)
= 462 (Favourable)
Materials price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) * Actual quantity
= [1.8 - (2,850/1,500)] * 1,500
= 150 Unfavourable
Materials quantity variance = (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) * Standard price
= [(230 * 8) - 1,500] * 1.8
= 612 Favourable
Total labour variance = (Actual hours * Actual rate) - (Standard hours * Standard rate)
= 19,458 - (230 * 84)
= 138 Unfavourable
Labour price variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual hours
= [14 - (19,458/1,410)] * 1,410
= 282 Favourable
Labour quantity variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) * Standard rate
= [(230 * 6) - 1,410] * 14
= 420 Unfavourable
