Greeson Clothes Company produced 21,000 units during June of the current year. The Cutting Department used 4,000 direct labor hours at an actual rate of $13.6 per hour. The Sewing Department used 6,600 direct labor hours at an actual rate of $13.3 per hour. Assume there were no work in process inventories in either department at the beginning or end of the month. The standard labor rate is $13.5. The standard labor time for the Cutting and Sewing departments is 0.2 hour and 0.3 hour per unit, respectively.

a. Determine the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance and total direct labor cost variance for the Cutting Department and Sewing Department. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

Areal estate agent is considering changing her cell phone plan. there are three plans to choose from, all of which involve a monthly service charge of $20. plan a has a cost of $.42 a minute for daytime calls and $.17 a minute for evening calls. plan b has a charge of $.52 a minute for daytime calls and $.15 a minute for evening calls. plan c has a flat rate of $80 with 275 minutes of calls allowed per month and a charge of $.38 per minute beyond that, day or evening. a. determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 150 minutes of day calls and 70 minutes of evening calls in a month. (do not round intermediate calculations. round your answer to 2 decimal places. omit the "$" sign in your response.)c. if the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal? (round each answer to the nearest whole number. include the indifference point itself in each answer.)d. suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. at what point (i. e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans a and b?
