Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Profit maximization.

Explanation:

Top executives are in charge of decision-making in companies. The path the firm will take depends on them. Their ultimate goal is always to maximize the profits of a firm. For such a thing to happen several accounting and operations analysis is conducted to make adjustments on production or engage in the manufacturing of new goods.  

An ethical dilemma arises when <em>profit maximization</em> implies affecting others through pollution or the manufacturing of products that could be somehow risky. Managers in most cases would prefer to cut the costs of production but they must find a balance between generating more revenue and fulfilling the minimum quality requirements so that the goods or the production of them does not put others at risk.

The standard cost of product 777 includes 2.0 units of direct materials at $6.00 per unit. During August, the company bought 29,
AfilCa [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Total material variance = Actual quantity × Actual rate - Standard quantity × Standard rate

= 29000 × $6.3 - (16,000 units × 2) × $6

= $182,700 - $192,000

= - $9,300 favorable  

Material price variance = Actual quantity × Actual price - Actual quantity × Standard price

= (29,000 units × $6.3) - (29,000 units × $6)

= $182,700 - $174,000

= $8,700 unfavorable  

Material quantity variance =  Standard quantity × Actual quantity - Standard rate × Standard quantity  

= $6 × 29,000 units - $6 × (16,000 units × 2)

= $174,000 - $192,000

= -$18,000 favorable

The favorable is when the standard cost is more than the actual one while the unfavorable is when the standard cost is less than the actual one
