16 – 56 Ethics and Standard Costs Farmer Frank’s produces items from local farm products and distributes them to supermarkets. Over the years, price competition has become increasingly important, so Susan Kramer, the company’s controller, is planning to implement a standard cost system for Farmer Frank’s. She asked her cost accountant, Margaret Chang, to gather cost information on the production of blueberry preserves (Farmer Frank’s most popular product).

McKenzie Schmitt Ms. Crosbie AP English 11 1, December 2011 We all Need a Helping Hand With the Grain Growing up in a poor household Dennis Clausen and his family were the true image of the less fortunate side of America in the 1950’s. Clausen wrote an essay entitled, The Kindness of Strangers, where he states how he benefited from outside factors such as welfare, to help him and his family survive. This family, which consisted of an injured mother, an absent father, and five children, are one of the common families that would go through welfare. The benefits of welfare are able to shine throughout this paper, where the reader is able to see first hand how it was able to change a whole family. One is able to see how greatly Clausen’s family benefited from these welfare checks and how in the end the family was able to complete the circle of welfare and give back to society.

Collectivisation was where the peasants were to put their land, which they owned, together to form large joint farms called kolkhoz however, small plots could be kept for their own personal use. This plan was introduced to accommodate the changes needed for the five-year-plans to be a success; the agriculture needed modernising first. Collectivisation meant that animals and tools were to be pooled together and only 10% of produce made could be shared to feed the kolkhoz. Stalin had set out for success and needed collectivisation to work out in order for industrialisation to do the same. Stalin was aware of the fact that by 1928, Russia was already two million tonnes short of the grain it needed to feed its workers.
