Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. A listener in front of both speakers hears a maximum sound intensity when speaker 2 is at the origin and speaker 1 is at x = 0.450 m . If speaker 1 is slowly moved forward, the sound intensity decreases and then increases, reaching another maximum when speaker 1 is at x = 0.850 m.
A.What is the frequency of the sound? Assume vsound =340m/s.

*Contains direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.
Janet Dunn, who has just been appointed general manager of the Westwood Plant, has been given instructions to “get things under control.” Upon reviewing the plant’s income statement, Ms. Dunn has concluded that the major problem lies in the variable cost of goods sold. She has been provided with the following standard cost per swimming pool:
Standard Quantity or Hours | Standard Price or Rate |
Standard Cost | ||||
Direct materials | 3.9 pounds | $ |
2.50 |
per pound | $ | 9.75 |
Direct labor | 0.8 hours | $ |

per hour | 6.40 | |
Variable manufacturing overhead | 0.2 hours* | $ |
3.50 |
per hour |
0.70 |
|
Total standard cost per unit | $ | 16.85 | ||||
*Based on machine-hours.
During June, the plant produced 5,000 pools and incurred the following costs:
Used 19,300 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.)
Worked 4,600 direct labor-hours at a cost of $7.70 per hour.
Incurred variable manufacturing overhead cost totaling $5,070 for the month. A total of 1,300 machine-hours was recorded.
It is the company’s policy to close all variances to cost of goods sold on a monthly basis.
Required:
1. Compute the following variances for June:
a. Materials price and quantity variances.
b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.
c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances.
2. Summarize the variances that you computed in (1) above by showing the net overall favorable or unfavorable variance for the month.

Question 1 – Australian Consumer Law
Natural Ice Cream Co is a company that advertises its ice cream as ‘all natural’, made in the Barossa Valley (in South Australia), and from milk produced by Australian cows.
It has been discovered, that actually the ice cream is made in Victoria, 1000’s of kilometres away from the Barossa Valley. And although most of the ingredients in the ice cream are natural they do use a chemically flavoured vanilla as natural vanilla is too expensive. Most cows were bred in Australia but recently some have been imported from Indonesia.
Using relevant legal principles, discuss whether Natural Ice Cream Co has breached section 18 of the Australian Consumer Law and what remedies may be available.
