Franklin Inc. reported the following variances:

• Direct materials price variance                $ 0 Favorable
• Direct materials quantity variance         $2,000 Unfavorable
• Direct labor rate variance                             $6,000 Favorable
• Direct labor efficiency variance                $7,000 Unfavorable

Which of the following explanations is the most likely cause?

Group of answer choices

The sales manager decreased the selling price of the product, causing an increase in demand, a need to purchase raw material from new vendors, and the need for workers to work overtime.

Human Resources hired lower quality labor at a cheaper price causing more defective products and slower production.

The purchasing manager did not order enough raw materials, causing labor to be idle for much of the work week.

The production manager inefficiently scheduled maintenance, causing laborers to sit idle and then need to work overtime in order to meet demand.

The economy slowed, causing a decrease in demand, lower sales, and an increase in inventory.

Job FB69 at NW Fab, required 8 kg of direct materials at 16 € per kg and 5 direct labor hours at €15 per hour. Job FB69 represents 4 units completed.

Data concerning overhead (indirect costs) are the following:

Calculate the normal cost of job FB69 by using for support center allocation to mission centers:

* the direct method

* the step-down method

Note: HR is allocated using # of employees; Maintenance is allocated using space

Identify the null and alternative hypothesis(in symbolic and sentence form), test statistic, P-value(or critical values), conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim(Don’t just say Reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null hypothesis). If you used the calculator, identify everything mentioned above in addition to which calculator functions and inputs for each field were used.

The purpose of this assignment is to choose a compensation philosophy that is appropriate for a life coaching firm and articulate a rationale for this selection. There are two aspects to this assignment. First, describe the risks and benefits of leading, meeting, and lagging the market in overall compensation and benefits. Next, choose the appropriate strategy (lead, meet, or lag) for your firm, and provide rationale about why this is appropriate. There is a minimum requirement of 500 words for the compensation purpose and strategy document. Consider some of the following factors in your assignment: 1. Payroll expenses are usually the highest expense at most firms. If you lead the market, this expense can be taxing. 2. If you are pursuing top talent in human capital rich industries (e.g., software engineering), lagging the market may keep you from competing for market share against your competitors. 3. If you meet the market, paying average will generally not attract top talent, and in addition, you will not have the labor-cost savings of a lag-the-market strategy.

A poll was conducted to investigate opinions about global warming. The respondents who answered yes when asked if there is solid evidence that the earth is getting warmer were then asked to select a cause of global warming. The results are given in the accompanying data table. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the sex of the respondent is independent of the choice for the cause of global warming. Do men and women appear to​ agree, or is there a substantial​ difference?
