1. The difference between absorption and variable costing is in how they mange fixed manufacturing overhead. Under absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is treated as a product cost, therefore, is an asset until products are sold. Under variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is treated as a period cost and is immediately expensed on the income statement. Both methods threated all other costs the same way. 2. Selling and administrative expenses are treated as period costs under both variable costing and absorption costing and these expenses are never treated as product costs under variable or absorption costing method. 3. Fixed overhead costs of manufacturing are included in product costs, direct materials, direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead, under absorption costing method. If some of the…

Four types of explanatory variables are used, which are commonly used in the literature to explain health outcomes – demographic/household/socioeconomic, enabling, need, and life-style variables. Demographic, household, and socioeconomic variables capture differences in morbidity for individuals of different age, sex, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Gender is represented by a dummy variable (female = 1, male = 0). Marital status is characterized by two dummy variables (currently married = 1, 0…

The scientist’s want to see if certain sugars affect the amount of fermentation caused by yeast. The problem statement is; in which of these sugars, monosaccharides, disaccharides, or polysaccharides, will fermentation by yeast occur the best? The independent variable is the variables the scientists can control, so the scientists decided to use certain sugars, such as dextrose, maltose, and lactose being the IVs (Independent variables). The scientist’s Dependent Variable (DV) is the outcome of…

Unlike guaranteed pay, variable pay is directly dependent upon the employee’s ability to accomplish a task, meet a quota, or other variables that are dependent upon maintaining a particular level of performance or achieving a desired result. However, the employees within a variable pay system still have a set rate to which they are paid, but they have more room to earn more money. The most common forms of variable pay are seen as incentives or bonuses. Positions that apply variable pay are…

They depend on microeconomic variables when making decisions, which are drawn from data to make critical choices which play a critical role in the success or failure of the business. Therefore, the currency and reliability of information used by businesses when making these decisions affect the success or fail of…

My dependent variable will be their perception of their latest relationship. To measure this, I will be using a Guttmann scale. This will enable me to incorporate both a dichotomous scale and a Likert scale. A dichotomous scale is when a question has two possible responses. A Likert scale is a type of rating scale that measures how someone feels about a certain topic containing degrees of feeling. With multiple Likert questions in a survey Cronbach’s alpha helps measure its reliability.…

MIS 790 Comprehensive Exam Q1. To be able to build prediction models of botnet attacks, we had to decide information requirements. (a) What process did you use for identifying predictor variables for modelling botnet traffic flows? (b) What additional measures can be taken in terms of information (or data) gathering to further improve the accuracy of the prediction models? (a) I started with a literature survey and read articles to understand the problem and technical terms. To understand the…
