Using the paragraph below, how could i rework it making the statement a proper introduction and literature review? I must include participants, instruments, procedure, and ethical issues and how to solve them. I thought i had included some of those things, but according to my grade i did not include any.

According to the five-factor model, Introversion and Extraversion form two extremes of the first

factor. This factor is scaled based on the person’s sociability, aggressiveness and emotional

expression. Depending on these measures, an introverted individual might be classified because they tend to lean more towards being quiet,

reserved and withdrawn. Similarly, an extroverted individual would lean towards being outgoing,

sociable and seeking adventure. Even in the MBTI scale, introversion and extraversion are the

first of the four markers that might determine an individual’s personality. Although it might seem like a good idea to predict the success of a marriage

based on an individual’s level of sociability and their comfort level with outdoor activities, it is

essential to remember that these markers are not an “all” or “nothing” situation. These are simply scales where an individual might have different

levels of sociability. For instance, one might find an extroverted individual who likes a good house party but hates the crowds at a concert. Also, there might be introverted individuals who

enjoy spending time with their close-knit friends but dislike spending time with people that they do not share a comfort level with. Here in lies the null hypothesis. Since these measures are

not absolute, the prediction based on these measures cannot be “either-or,” where a couple either gets divorced or stays together. Just like the mood to be social is intermittent, depending

on the mood, the day and other factors, the level of marital bliss is just as irregular. However, the synergetic effect between sociability and marital bliss would also depend on whether both

the members are of the same personality type. The best number of participants would be at least 15 couples of different sexual orientations but in equal amount. For instance, 5 straight

couples, 5 homosexual male couples, 5 homosexual female couples with each having different sociability level. The proper hypothesis would be to judge whether couples with the same

sociability marker have more marital bliss or couples with opposing sociability markers. I believe this covers the introduction as well as the literature review.

Bandar Industries Berhad of Malaysia manufactures sporting equipment. One of the company’s products, a football helmet for the North American market, requires a special plastic. During the quarter ending June 30, the company manufactured 3,600 helmets, using 2,700 kilograms of plastic. The plastic cost the company $20,520.

     According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.68 kilograms of plastic, at a cost of $8.00 per kilogram.

Required:
1.

According to the standards, what cost for plastic should have been incurred to make 3,600 helmets? How much greater or less is this than the cost that was incurred? (Round Standard kilograms of plastic per helmet to 2 decimal places.)

     

2.

Break down the difference computed in (1) above into a materials price variance and a materials quantity variance. (Round your actual materials price to two decimal places, and round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

     

SkyChefs, Inc., prepares in-flight meals for a number of major airlines. One of the company’s products is grilled salmon in dill sauce with baby new potatoes and spring vegetables. During the most recent week, the company prepared 7,200 of these meals using 2,800 direct labor-hours. The company paid these direct labor workers a total of $22,400 for this work, or $8.00 per hour.

     According to the standard cost card for this meal, it should require 0.40 direct labor-hours at a cost of $7.50 per hour.

   

Required:
1.

According to the standards, what direct labor cost should have been incurred to prepare 7,200 meals? How much does this differ from the actual direct labor cost? (Round labor-hours per meal and labor cost per hour to 2 decimal places.)

     

2.

Break down the difference computed in (1) above into a labor rate variance and a labor efficiency variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

Sharp Company manufactures a product for which the following standards have been set:

Standard Quantity
or Hours
Standard Price
or Rate
Standard
Cost
  Direct materials 3 feet $ 5 per foot $ 15
  Direct labor ? hours ? per hour ?

     During March, the company purchased direct materials at a cost of $45,240, all of which were used in the production of 2,190 units of product. In addition, 4,500 hours of direct labor time were worked on the product during the month. The cost of this labor time was $31,500. The following variances have been computed for the month:

  Materials quantity variance $ 1,950 U  
  Labor spending variance $ 3,030 U  
  Labor efficiency variance $ 780 U  
Required:
1. For direct materials:
a.

Compute the actual cost per foot for materials for March. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

          

b.

Compute the price variance and the spending variance. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance))

          

2.

For direct labor: (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

a.

Compute the standard direct labor rate per hour. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

            

b.

Compute the standard hours allowed for the month’s production.

            

c.

Compute the standard hours allowed per unit of product. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

The Superior Manufacturing Company of America wants to make two shipments from Raleigh, NC, to New York, NY. The first shipment weights 12,000 pounds and the second shipment weight 17,000 pounds. The carrier charges $10 per hundredweight (cwt) if the goods are shipped separately and the shipments arrive in two days. If the goods can be consolidated into one shipment, the cost would be $8 per cwt to ship them in one truckload but would cost $500 to consolidate the shipments at the carrier’s warehouse and it would take three days. Inquiries 1. Showing all work, calculate the total cost of both shipment options. 2. Which is the lowest cost? 3. Does the group believe sustainability should be a consideration? 4. In addition to cost, what other factors – not including sustainability, either – should be considered? Present and elaborate on at least two considerations. 5. Which approach would you select? Explain your rationale (the rationale of the team).

"There are different sections that make up a classified income statement. The first section is operating revenue, this is the revenue that is earned from normal business activities. The next section is the cost of goods sold, where the information pertaining to the cost of merchandise sold during that period; three entries are needed for this section: beginning inventory, net delivered cost of purchases, and ending inventory. The next section is gross profit, which is the difference in net sales and cost of goods sold. Operating expenses are the expenses that are accumulated during normal business activities. Net income and net loss from operations is separated for easier readability. Other expenses and incomes are entered into different sections along with net income and net losses. Sometimes a condensed income statement is provided with summarized information in fewer lines of information." Is this information substantially different from the income statement that you would normally consider? Why do we call it classified?
