kow [346]

Answer: The actual cost of materials was less than the standard cost

Explanation:

Net materials cost variance = Favorable materials price variance + Favorable materials quantity variance

= 380 + (-120 unfavorable)

= 380 - 120

= $260 favorable

<em>As the materials cost variance is favorable, it means that the actual cost of materials was less than what was budgeted for it or rather its standard cost. </em>

2. A fancy steakhouse in a shopping mall offers a 20% discount to employees of other stores in the mall, provided that they eat

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Different aspects to be considered:

First of all, the steakhouse probably has the most clients between 6 to 8 PM, that is why discounts are not offered during that time.

Second, the discount is offered to only a certain group, employees of other stores, because it is a promotional strategy aimed at increasing the number of clients during slow hours. Since this is a fancy place, it is probably expensive also. Most employees would not actually eat there except on a special event, e.g. birthday or anniversary dinner. Even with the 20% discount, not many of them will actually eat there.

This is something nice to offer, since a shopping mall is a close environment where a lot of different people work together, even if very few will actually take the offer. It is normal that different stores have distinct promotions for the employees that work there. It is similar to offering perks that help create a better working environment between the employees of different stores.

Sphinxa [80]

Question:

If the marginal product of capital net depreciation equals 8 percent, the rate of growth of population equals 2 percent, and the rate of labor-augmenting technical progress equals 2 percent, to reach the Golden Rule level of the capital stock, the ____ rate in this economy must be _____.

A) saving; increased

B) population growth; decreased

C) depreciation; decreased

D) total output growth; decreased

Answer

The correct answer is A) <u>Saving</u> rate of the economy must be i<u>ncreased</u> in order for the economy to reach the Golden Rule Level of the Capital Stock.

Explanation

Golden Rule Level of the Capital Stock is the level at which

MPK = δ,

Where MPK is Marginal Product; and δ the depreciation rate;

so that the marginal product of capital equals the depreciation rate.

In the Solow growth model, a <em>high saving rate results in a large steady-state capital stock and a high level of steady-state output.</em> A low saving rate results to a small steady state capital stock and a low level of steady-state output. Higher saving leads to faster economic growth only in the short run. An increase in the saving rate raises growth until the economy reaches the new steady state. That is, if the economy retains a high saving rate, it will also maintain a large capital stock and a high level of output, but it will not maintain a high rate of growth forever .
