The meaning of making "difficult choices" when creating a federal budget is: D. deciding what will be funded and what will be cut.

<h3>What is a federal budget?</h3>

A federal budget refers to a financial plan that is typically used by the government for the estimation of the revenue (taxation) and expenditures (spending) of a country over a specified period of time, which is often one year.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Standard price= $6.1

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The quantity of direct materials used 3,800 lbs. Actual unit price of direct materials $6 per lb. Units of finished product manufactured 1,820 units Standard direct materials per unit of finished product 2 lbs.

Direct materials quantity variance—unfavorable $976 Direct materials price variance—favorable $380.

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

380= (SP - 6)3,800

6.1= standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

976= (1820*2 - 3,800)*SP

6.1= standard price

zepelin [54]

Answer:

financing 62,400 dollars

Monthly Payment   $ 465.48

Total Interest  21,386.4  

Rounding to nearest $ 100

Additional $$  34.52

We save up to 16 payments and $2,136.4 in interest.

By-weekly payment  $232.60

Total Interest saved $ 194.4

Explanation:

78,000 less 20% down-payment: 62,400

Monthly  Payment

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\

PV  $62,400.00

time 180

rate 0.0034375

62400 \div \frac{1-(1+0.0034375)^{-180} }{0.0034375} = C\\

C  $ 465.484

Total Interest

quota times time less principal

$ 465.48 x 180 - 62,400 = 21,386.4

$  500  -  $  465.48  =   $  34.52

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C  $500.00

time n

rate 0.0034375

PV $62,400.0000

500 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0034375)^{-n} }{0.0034375} = 62400\\

(1+0.0034375)^{-n}= 1-\frac{62400\times0.0034375}{500}

(1+0.0034375)^{-n}= 0.571

We now use logaritmics properties to solve for n

-n= \frac{log0.571}{log(1+0.0034375)

-163.2956066

180 - 164 = 16 payments

Total Interst 500 x 163.30 - 62,400 = 19,250

Interest savings 21,386.4 - 19,250 = 2,136.4

If payment are bi-weekly:

then payments will be:

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\

PV  $62,400.00

time 360

rate 0.00171875

62400 \div \frac{1-(1+0.00171875)^{-360} }{0.00171875} = C\\

C  $ 232.598

And total Interest:

232.2 x 360 - 62,400 = 21,192

Difference 21,386.4 - 21,192 = $ 194.4

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer: $0.51

Kristen Lu purchased a used automobile for $25,950 at the beginning of last year and incurred the following operating costs:

Depreciation ($25,950 ÷ 5 years) $5,190

Insurance $2,700

Garage rent $1,400

Automobile tax and license $710

Variable operating cost $0.11 per mile

The variable operating cost consists of gasoline, oil, tires, maintenance, and repairs. Kristen estimates that, at her current rate of usage, the car will have zero resale value in five years, so the annual straight-line depreciation is $5,190. The car is kept in a garage for a monthly fee.

Explanation:

To calculate the fixed cost per mile, calculate the total fixed cost and divide by the number of  miles (25000).

The total fixed cost combines all the cost that do not change depending on the level of usage. These costs do not reduce if Kristen uses her car less or increase if she uses her car more. The variable cost is the opposite of this.

Total fixed cost = $5,190  + $2,700  + $1,400  + $710  = 10,000

Fixed cost per mile = 10000/25000 = $0.40

Variable Operating Cost/Mile             = $0.11

Average Operating Cost/Mile             = $0.51
