Boat Guard, which used a standard cost accounting system, manufactured 210,000 boat fenders during the year, using 1,780,000 feet of extruded vinyl purchased at $1.30 per foot. Production required 4,900 direct labor hours that cost $13.00 per hour. The materials standard was 8 feet of vinyl per fender at a standard cost of $1.40 per foot. The labor standard was 0.024 direct labor hour per fender at a standard cost of $12.00 per hour.

1. Compute the price and quantity variances for direct materials. Compute the rate and efficiency variances for direct labor.
2. Does the pattern of variances suggest that the company’s managers have been making trade-offs? Explain.

Power plants that rely on coal increase the amount of sulfur dioxide that dissolves into the air, eventually increasing the acidity of precipitation. the higher acidity of rain and snow can damage forests by making it more difficult for plants to absorb minerals from the soil. the equations below provide information about the market demand and supply of electricity. there is a constant marginal external cost of $25 per unit of electricity.d: qd= 200 – 2ps: qs=p – 10what quantity of electricity satisfies allocative efficiency in this market? a. 60b. 70c. 50d. 43.3
