Answer:

A) $2,000 favorable

Explanation:

Actual total variable overhead = $ 73,000

Actual total fixed overhead = $ 17,000

Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour = $ 2.50

Budgeted total fixed overhead = $ 15,000

Budgeted machine hours allowed for actual output = 30,000

Budgeted variable overhead = $ 2.50 x 30,000 = $ 75,000

Variable overhead variance = Budgeted variable overhead - Actual total variable overhead

Variable overhead variance = $ 75,000 - $ 73,000 = $ 2,000

Since the actual value is under the budgeted value, the variable overhead variance is $2,000 favorable.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Penetration pricing represents a marketing strategy employed by organisations with the goal of attracting customers to new products or services. These products or services are often offered at lower prices specifically to encourage people to test them and thus bring their awareness to the market, in other words, penetrate the market.

At times penetration pricing is not only used to acquaint consumers to a product, it is also used to thin out a competitor's customer base. Specifically, low prices and as stated in the question heavy couponing are strategies that are used to attract a wide number and range of customers to a product.

Lysol therefore, used penetration pricing based on low sales price and heavy couponing to attract consumers to its sanitizing wipes and when a satisfactory result had been achieved, the pricing rose and the couponing reduced. However, the consumer base is already established.
