How to Fight High Gasoline Prices

Are you scared that gas prices are going up but your income is not? Is the high gasoline price sucking too much money out of your pocket?

For people on a fixed income, it looks as if everything is going up except their pay check. In fact, the situation is so serious that some of them need to look for a new job closer to the home just to save on gas. This is true even

though they love their job and don't want to change it.

You can find plenty of advice about surviving in the world of high gasoline prices. For example:

-Change your driving habits.

-Cut back on daily purchases in order to compensate for increased gasoline spending.

-Do not go out for lunch. Bring it with you to the office.

-Instead of eating out at a "fancy" sit down restaurants, go to fast food places to cover the difference between gas prices and food savings.

Basically, all these advisers are teaching how to adjust your spending habits to accommodate rising gas prices because there is nothing you can do about the rising cost of gasoline.

But what if you don’t want to change your habits?

What if you refuse to become a hostage to higher gasoline prices?

Well, I have a realistic solution. Instead of losing time on driving around looking for cheaper gasoline, spend your time and energy on learning about online earning opportunities.

You can easily make between one hundred to three hundred dollars on the Internet monthly. This extra money could cover your gasoline expenses allowing you to forget about this problem for rest of your life!

There are hundreds of thousands people who make full time living from the Internet business and millions who choose the Internet as a part time job. Why not to begin your Internet business journey with a very clear goal to compensate your everyday gasoline expenses?

There are countless ways to make this kind of additional income through the Internet. Most of these methods are very simple to understand and quickly to learn even for beginners.

Being involving with an Internet business on a part time basis can earn you extra income straight from your home computer without giving up the things you and your family already enjoy.

Can anyone help me with this one I can't get it right.?

Peterson Foods manufactures pumpkin scones. For January 2007,
it budgeted to purchase and use 15,000 pounds of pumpkin at $0.89 a pound. Actual purchases and usage
for January 2007 were 16,000 pounds at $0.82 a pound. It budgets for 60,000 pumpkin scones. Actual output
was 60,800 pumpkin scones.
1. Compute the flexible-budget variance.
2. Compute the price and efficiency variances.
3. Comment on the results in requirements 1 and 2.

I'm no expert in costing, but I'd like to give it a try.
1. Compute the flexible-budget variance
Flexible-budget variance is $656U. They expected to use 15,000 lbs to produce 60,000 scones, but since they produced 60,800 scones, they should increase the flexible budget usage to 15,200 lbs. The flexible budget variance would be (16,000 @ $0.82) - (15,200 @ $0.82) = $656 Unfavorable.

2. Compute the price and efficiency variances
Price variance = (16,000 @ $0.82) - (16,000 @ 0.89) = 1,120 Favorable

Efficiency variance = (16,000 @ $0.89) - (15,200 @ $0.82) = 1,776 Unfavorable

3. Comment on the results in requirements 1 and 2.
The flexible budget variance is the total of the price and efficiency variances. The pumpkin per lb cost less than budgetted so the variance is favorable. Management would ask the question,"Why did it cost less than planned?" This may be due to a price decrease, or the pumpkin was acquired from another source, or lower grade pumpkin was obtained.
The company used more pumpkin than planned so the efficiency variance is unfavorable. Based on the output of 60,800 scones, they shd have used 15,200 lbs but they used 16,000 lbs. Mgt wld want to know why. This could be due to wastage, or less skilled workers were hired.

Hope I was able to help a bit. The site below may help more.
