Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Semi-indirect.

Explanation:

In business writing, there are three main approaches to how to provide messages to an audience: direct strategy, indirect strategy, and semi-indirect strategy. The direct strategy places the purpose or conclusion of the message at first followed by the details of that idea. Using the indirect strategy, instead, implies starting the message with the details to finish with the central idea. The semi-indirect strategy is used when the main idea of the message is given in the middle of the speech and is surrounded by details at the beginning and the end.

In the excerpt, the main idea is:

"The new procedure for ordering supplies will be effective March 1";

which appears in the middle of the paragraph. Therefore, the speaker used the semi-indirect messaging strategy.

Dubberly Corporation's cost formula for its manufacturing overhead is $31,600 per month plus $52 per machine-hour. For the month

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The activity variance for manufacturing overhead in March would be closest to $6240

Explanation:

As per given Data

Total overheads = $31,600 + (Machine hours x $52)

Bu using this equation we will calculate the activity variance

Planned machine hours = 8,100 hours

Placing value in the formula

Planned Manufacturing overheads = $31,600 + ( 8,100 hours x $52 )

Planned Manufacturing overheads = $452,800

Actual machine hours = 7,980 hours

Applied Manufacturing overheads = $31,600 + ( 7,980 x $52 )

Applied Manufacturing overheads = $446,560

Activity Variance for manufacturing overhead = Planned Manufacturing overheads - Applied Manufacturing overheads

Activity Variance for manufacturing overhead = $452,800 - $446,560 = $6,240
