Just i need the answer for requirement 4, It is a multiple choice question.

thank you.

Preferred Snacks produces snack mixes for the gourmet and natural foods market. In the current period, Preferred Snacks made 180 batches of Tempting Trail Mix with the following actual quantity, cost, and mix of inputs: (Click the icon to view the actual quantity, cost, and mix of inputs.) (Click the icon to view the budgeted quantities and budgeted prices of direct materials.) Read the requirements. C Requirement 2. Calculate the total direct materials efficiency variance. Select the formula and enter the amounts to calculate the total direct materials efficiency variance. Identify each variance as either factorable (F) or unfavorable (U).

What do the variances calculated in requirement 3 tell you about the 180 batches produced this period? Are the variances large enough to investigate? How do the variances calculated in requirement 3 relate to those calculated in requirement 2? O A. The total mix variance less the total yield variance equals the total efficiency variance. OB. The total efficiency variance combines with the total mix variance to equal the total yield variance. O C. The total mix variance combines with the total yield variance to equal the total efficiency variance. O D. The total yield variance less the total mix variance equals the total efficiency variance. $ = = = es. otal ed= or e npu 20.5 20.5 20.5 ma I tot ch in Mm 0.6 0.3 0.1 Data table Its most popular product is Tempting Trail Mix, a mixture of peanuts, dried cranberries, and chocolate pieces.
