Labor Variances Cinturon Corporation produces high-quality leather belts. The company's plant in Boise uses a standard costing system and has set the following standards for materials and labor: Leather (3 strips @ $4) $12.00 Direct labor (0.75 hr. @ $12) 9.00 Total prime cost $21.00 During the first month of the year, the Boise plant produced 92,000 belts. Actual leather purchased was 287,500 strips at $3.90 per strip. There were no beginning or ending inventories of leather. Actual direct labor was 78,600 hours at $12.50 per hour.
Required: 1. Break down the total variance for labor into a rate variance and an efficiency variance using the columnar and formula approaches.
Rate variance $ 39,300
Unfavorable Efficiency variance $ 46,000 Unfavorable ??????
Total variance $ -276,900 Unfavorable ????
2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION As part of the investigation of the unfavorable variances, the plant manager interviews the production manager. The production manager complains strongly about the quality of the leather strips. He indicates that the strips are of lower quality than usual and that workers have to be more careful to avoid a belt with cracks and more time is required. Also, even with extra care, many belts have to be discarded and new ones produced to replace the rejects. This replacement work has also produced some overtime demands. What corrective action should the plant manager take? Return to suppliers that provide the quality corresponding to the price standard. Employ more skilled labor at a cost lesser than the savings made by buying cheap material and improve the product quality. There is no need to change anything. The sales are not affected by this low quality of raw material.

its a discussion responding we are responding to. Does your organization have a formal mentoring program and/or leadership development program, explain Do you currently have a mentor or serve as a mentor, explain Discuss some goals that you can set for yourself to further develop as a leader.
Help responding in 150 or more words given details.
My organization has a mentoring program that partners up individuals wanting to move up in the company. We use Individual Development plans in order to guide training and development. This is a tool assists employees in career path and personal development. IDP’s are essential to being able to assign learning activities to specific competencies. We assign actionable tasks and track their progress in reasonable time frames. We also offer internships to college students in which they spend six weeks in leadership roles and provide them with the training and knowledge of how to become effective leaders. I am currently serving as a mentor to a new employee that has less experience. I allow individuals that I am mentoring to tell me what their expectations from me are. I also set up times for scheduled meetings to set goals, give and receive feedback, and find out what they may need from me. Goals that I could use in order to further develop myself as a leader by strategic thinking. “Improve my ability to see the big picture and take a longer range, broader business perspective. Learn to step back from the day-to-day tactical details of my business and focus on the “why”, not just the “what” and “how” (McCarthy, 2010). Looking at the big picture would guide me in becoming a more effective leader by being able to see what the importance of things is instead of just doing. Another goal would be to support and manage change in the organization because this would the transition of things easier during role outs of new programs or practices. There are many things one could do to become a better leader, but at the end of the day being sincere and honest is the best practice.

Wage and Tax Statement Data on Employer FICA Tax
Ehrlich Co. began business on January 2. Salaries were paid to employees on the last day of each month, and social security tax, Medicare tax, and federal income tax were withheld in the required amounts. An employee who is hired in the middle of the month receives half the monthly salary for that month. All required payroll tax reports were filed, and the correct amount of payroll taxes was remitted by the company for the calendar year. Early in the following year, before the Wage and Tax Statements (Form W-2) could be prepared for distribution to employees and for filing with the Social Security Administration, the employees' earnings records were inadvertently destroyed.
None of the employees resigned or were discharged during the year, and there were no changes in salary rates. The social security tax was withheld at the rate of 6.0% and Medicare tax at the rate of 1.5% on salary. Data on dates of employment, salary rates, and employees' income taxes withheld, which are summarized as follows, were obtained from personnel records and payroll records:
| Employee | Date First Employed | Monthly Salary | Monthly Income Tax Withheld | ||
| Arnett | Nov. 16 | $3,800 | $562 | ||
| Cruz | Jan. 2 | 5,700 | 1,072 | ||
| Edwards | Oct. 1 | 2,200 | 273 | ||
| Harvin | Dec. 1 | 2,300 | 285 | ||
| Nicks | Feb. 1 | 9,900 | 2,228 | ||
| Shiancoe | Mar. 1 | 3,800 | 581 | ||
| Ward | Nov. 16 | 8,300 | 1,793 | ||
Required:
1. Calculate the amounts to be reported on each employee's Wage and Tax Statement (Form W-2). Enter amounts to the nearest cent if required. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

Suppose that the U.S. government reduces the tariff on imported coffee, and a reputable study is published indicating that coffee drinkers have lower rates of colon cancer. What will the combined impact be on the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee? Explain your reasoning and show graphically the impact of these effects.
I sent the work I had to my professor, and he sent back this question: Keep in mind that in the short run assets are fixed. What impact does this have on supply?
This is the work I have so far, but I feel like I'm missing something due to the question he sent me (note: he won't help me more than that): Reasoning: If the tariff on imported coffee reduces, more coffee will be bought (and thus, more coffee is imported) by companies in order to gain a bigger profit; therefore, supply will shift to the right (most likely, supply would increase more than demand because of the reduced tariff + bigger profit companies can make) . Companies can sell the coffee at the same price since they did not have to pay as large a tariff to import it. Lower import cost with unchanged prices will make for a bigger profit. These are both proven by “more product will be bought the lower its price”. In addition, people will demand and buy more coffee when they see that a reputable study says coffee drinkers are at less risk for colon cancer. This shifts demand and moves the quantity equilibrium.
The orange and blue lines show the supply and demand of the coffee before the tariff is reduced. The thinner orange and blue lines (S1 and D1) show supply and demand after the tariff is reduced. Dashed lines show equilibrium between price and quantity. Q0 and P0 show the equilibrium before tariff is reduced. Q1 and P1 show the equilibrium after tariff is reduced. The end result is supply and demand both go through an increase (demand and supply move to the right), the price stays steady, and the quantity demanded equilibrium changes.

National Co. manufactures and sells three products: red, white, and blue. Their unit sales prices are red, $55; white, $85; and blue, $110. The per unit variable costs to manufacture and sell these products are red, $40; white, $60; and blue, $80. Their sales mix is reflected in a ratio of 5:4:2 (red:white:blue). Annual fixed costs shared by all three products are $150,000. One type of raw material has been used to manufacture all three products. The company has developed a new material of equal quality for less cost. The new material would reduce variable costs per unit as follows: red, by $10; white, by $20; and blue, by $10. However, the new material requires new equipment, which will increase annual fixed costs by $20,000.
