Calculating materials and labor variancesGreat Fender, which uses a standard cost accounting system, manufactured 20,000boat fenders during 2014, using 144,000 square feet of extruded vinyl purchased at$1.05 per square foot. Production required 420 direct labor hours that cost $13.50per hour. The direct materials standard was 7 square feet of vinyl per fender, at astandard cost of $1.10 per square foot. The labor standard was 0.025 direct laborhour per fender, at a standard cost of $12.50 per hour. Compute the cost and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct labor. Does the pattern of variances suggest Great Fender’s managers have been making trade-offs? Explain. DL Eff.

how did Tesla successfully overcome each of the Challenges to Adoptions of Electric Cars in the case: explain each one briefly and to the point.
The significance of Tesla’s accomplishments is transcendental. Tesla has successfully designed and produced a commercially successful electric vehicle without carbon emissions, using many recyclable materials, to solve one of the major sources of greenhouse gases for the world, vehicles. Understanding how this was achieved, in record time, with private banking resources under the capitalist system, by an American company, with American ingenuity, drive and performance, in the private sector, with minimal government support, and built in the US, is critical to understanding our future in solving the other challenges that the US and the world face. Therefore, this assignment is critical to your capstone work for graduation.For this assignment, quickly read the Case Dialogue 11 on Case 30 Tesla Motors, Inc., and carefully view with attention the youTube video in its entirety Tesla Launch Model 3.

B. What single key decision did Tesla make to achieve marketing penetration at a very low cost?C. What single key decision did Tesla make to efficiently sell its vehicles? And how is it servicing its vehicles successfully?D. What single key decision did Tesla make to guide its Human Resources to world-class achievements?From the Case,E. which of the External Opportunities and Threats have come to pass? And for which ones has Tesla found a solution, and how did they overcome these challenges? How did a private company blow away the government goals? Why would a private company always be able to outperform a government entity in developing solutions to these types of problems? How does open competition in private industry far surpass centralized planning from the government? If the government had decided to push for hybrids instead of all EV in the mistaken belief that people would not ever drive an all EV, what would have been the outcome? What are the implications to the economy, employment, globalization, innovation and sustainability of government overreach and control over individual creativity and innovation?

What are two examples we can observe of derived relational responding when working with a learner in ABA therapy?
When thinking about Relational Frame Theory, it is important to consider derived relational responses. Derived relational responding occurs when novel stimuli are presented after “relational frames” have been taught with other exemplars, and the learner responds to those stimuli based on their previous instruction with the other exemplars. What are two examples we can observe of derived relational responding when working with a learner in ABA therapy? Be sure to include descriptions of the stimuli and responses
