The following data relate to factory overhead cost for the production of 6,000 computers: Actual: Variable factory overhead $142,600 Fixed factory overhead 35,000 Standard: 6,000 hrs. at $28 168,000 If productive capacity of 100% was 10,000 hours and the total factory overhead cost budgeted at the level of 6,000 standard hours was $182,000, determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance, fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance. The fixed factory overhead rate was $3.5 per hour. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

Suppose that hubert, an economist from an am talk radio program, and kate, an economist from a nonprofit organization on the west coast, are arguing over government bailouts. the following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: kate: to recent financial crises, the concept of bailouts is a hot topic for debate among everyone these days. hubert: indeed, it’s gotten crazy! a government bailout of severely distressed financial firms is unnecessary because free markets will properly price assets. kate: i don’t know about that. without a bailout of severely distressed financial firms, the economy will experience a deep recession. the disagreement between these economists is most likely due todifferences in scientific judgments . despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree? business managers can raise profit more easily by reducing costs than by raising revenue. central banks should focus more on maintaining low unemployment than on maintaining low inflation. employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations
