Note:
I wasn't able to access the Chester Income Statement but I successfully accessed a similar question Digby.
The Complete Question is as under:
Refer to the HR Reports in the Inquirer. Through past investments in recruiting and training Digby has obtained a productivity index of 109.6%. This means that Digby's labor costs would be increased by 9.6% if it did not have these productivity improvements. This is a competitive advantage that Digby can sustain or even widen further if its competitors have no HR initiatives. Now, refer to the Income Statement in Digby's Annual Report. How much did Digby's productivity improvements save it in direct labor costs (in thousands) last year?
A. $766
B. $29818
C. $3137
D. $3211
Answer:
Option D. $3,137
Explanation:
The Productivity Index of 9.6% shows that if the improvement plan is implemented then the efficiency gains would result in saving of 9.6% of total direct cost. So if we total the direct cost for the year for all of the four products then we have an amount of $32,680 which is given at the second last column.
The amount saved last year would be:
Savings = $32,680 * 9.6% = $3,137
Hence the option C is correct here.
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The actual quantity of direct materials purchased 20,000 pounds.
standard price of direct materials $ 7.00 per pound.
Material price variance $ 5,000 Unfavorable.
Material quantity variance S 2,500 Favorable.
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
-5,000= (7 - AP)*20,000
5,000= 140,000 - 20,000AP
20,000= 145,000AP
Actual price= 7.25
Answer:
Perfect Competition

It is the ideal form of market structure where competition is at is greatest possible value. The numerous buyers and sellers are engaged in trade of a homogeneous good in the market.
