Dozens of companies produce plain white socks. Consumers regard plain white socks as standardized and don't care who manufactures their socks: Yes, meets all assumptions.
What we are trying to do here is to define if the affirmation is about a competitive market. And the answer is yes, it meets all assumptions.

Answer: $942 U
Explanation:
Budgeted cost was $2,960 per month plus $326 per day and there were 18 days of actual activity.
Budgeted cost = 2,960 + 326 * 18
= $8,828
Variance = Budgeted cost - Actual cost
= 8,828 - 9,770
= -$942
Budgeted cost is less than Actual cost which means the Variance is UNFAVORABLE.
Answer:
If both companies have the sames sales volume, total costs and income from operations, the reason why Gouda has a lower break even point is that their variable costs are lower. We use the contribution margin per unit to calculate the break even point and the contribution margin per unit = sales price - variable costs. The question states that total costs are equal, but it doesn't say anything about variable or fixed costs.
Assuming that Gouda is above break even point, each sale will generate a higher operating profit since the contribution margin is higher.

Net income for each alternative = Revenues – Costs
Since the net income is positive, B is better than A.
