The Organic Bread Company (OBC) makes a range of breads for sale direct to the public. The production process begins with workers weighing out ingredients on electronic scales and then placing them in a machine for mixing. A worker then manually removes the mix from the machine and shapes it into loaves by hand, after which the bread is then placed into the oven for baking.
All baked loaves are then inspected by OBC’s quality inspector before they are packaged up and made ready for sale. Any loaves which fail the inspection are donated to a local food bank.
The standard cost card for OBC’s ‘Mixed Bloomer’, one of its most popular loaves, is as follows:
Budgeted production of Mixed Bloomers was 1,000 units for the quarter, although actual production was only 950 units. The total actual quantities used and their actual costs were:
Required:
(a) Calculate the total material mix variance and the total material yield variance for OBC for the last quarter. (7 marks)
(b) Using the information in the question, suggest THREE possible reasons why an ADVERSE MATERIAL YIELD variance could arise at OBC. (3 marks)
When you are at school, have you ever been told to stop daydreaming and concentrate? __1__. However, understanding how to do it, and knowing what is distracting(使分心)you,can help.
Scientists have looked at what makes us distracted and found a number of ways to help us stay in the zone. __2__. Research by Science Focus magazine found silence or gentle background music is best for concentration. So studying in a quieter location helps us focus on the task at hand. It's also necessary to put your phone in another room or switch it off altogether.
Another possible cure for low concentration is breaking any large project into small tasks. For example, you could start with“create an outline”if you are writing a report. A specific goal like this makes it easier to start, stick with it, and finally finish any project. __3__. Each time you complete a task, your brain releases a large amount of dopamine, a brain chemical that helps keep attention and motivation high.
Exercising regularly can also keep you focused. Research suggests that increasing blood flow to the brain with exercise can help you improve your focus for up to two or even three hours! Regular exercise can also help to improve your quality of sleep which is vital in helping your focus. __4__, preferably before you study, or between two study sessions.
__5__. If we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we' d miss potential changes, such as threats, in our environment. Distraction is vital for survival.

B.You should try not to let your mind wander
C.Staying focused while studying isn't always easy
D.One of the most obvious things is avoiding noise
E.It is possible that you're not getting plenty of exercise

The lesson from dams is that big is not always beautiful. It doesn't help that building a big, powerful dam has become a symbol of achievement for nations and people striving to assert themselves. Egypt's leadership in the Arab world was cemented by the Aswan High Dam. Turkey's bid for First World status includes the giant Ataturk Dam.
But big dams tend not to work as intended. The Aswan Dam, for example, stopped the Nile flooding but deprived Egypt of the fertile silt that floods left—all in return for a giant reservoir of disease which is now so full of silt that it barely generates electricity.
And yet, the myth of controlling the waters persists. This week, in the heart of civilized Europe, Slovaks and Hungarians stopped just short of sending in the stoops in their contention over a dam on the Danube. The huge complex will probably have all the usual problems of big dams. But Slovakia is bidding for independence from the Gzechs, and now needs a dam to prove itself.
Meanwhile, in India, the World Bank has given the go-ahead to the even more wrong-headed Narmada Dam. And the bank has done this even though its advisors say the dam will cause hardship for the powerless and environmental destruction. The benefits are for the powerful, but they are far from guaranteed.
Proper, scientific study of the impacts of dams and of the cost and benefits of controlling water can help to resolve these conflicts, Hydroelectric power and flood control and irrigation are possible without building monster dams. But when you are dealing with myths, it is hard to be either proper, or scientific. It is time that the world learned the lessons of Aswan. You don't need a dam to be saved.
