Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
U(x1, x2) = x1x2
Income = 100 dollars
Therefore,
Alex budget constraint is $100.
(a) (12.5, 12.5)
Cost of this bundle = 12.5 × $4 + 12.5 × $4
= $50 + $50
= $100
(b) (25, 12.5)
Cost of this bundle = 15 × $4 + 10 × $5 + 12.5 × $4
= $60 + $50 + $50
= $160
This bundle is not possible because of budget constraint.
(c) (12.5, 25)
Cost of this bundle = 12.5 × $4 + 25 × $4
= $50 + $100
= $150
This bundle is not possible because of budget constraint.
(d) (15, 10)
Cost of this bundle = 15 × $4 + 10 × $4
= $60 + $40
= $100
Hence, it is possible to buy bundle (a) and (d).
Utility function for (a) and (d) bundle:
(a) (12.5, 12.5)
Utility = 12.5 × 12.5
= 156.25
(d) (15, 10)
Utility = 15 × 10
= 150
Therefore,
Alex will choose bundle (a) (12.5, 12.5) because this will give maximum utility.
<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
The following table has been made in order to find out the total variance cost that has been incurred and the total cost
<u>Particulars</u> <u>Cost formula based</u> <u>Flexible budget </u> <u>Actual</u> <u>Variance</u>
<u> on 50000 units</u> <u>on the basis of </u>
<u>60000 unit</u>
Direct materials $2 120000 $110000 10000 F
The direct labour $1 60000 60000 0
Variable overhead $1.5 90000 100000 10000 U
Fixed overhead $100000 100000 97000 3000 F
The total cost 370000 367000 3000 F
Where F stands for – favourable and U stands for unfavourable
The total variance cost after the above calculations is = $3000 F
The flexible budget performance report directs managements attention to areas where corrective action can help control operations. Management uses the report to determine price and quantity variances.
<u>Answer:</u>Net Bi weekly pay is $519
<u>Explanation:</u>
Calculation of weekly pay
Given
No of hours 20
Per hour pay $15
Weekly pay = 15 x 20
=$300
Payment received is bi weekly so it is $600 for two weeks.
Calculation of bi weekly net pay
Federal income tax rate (600 x 4.87%) $29
State income tax rate (570 x 1.04%) $6
FICA and state insurance taxes (564 x 7.65%) $46
Total deductions $81
Net pay = Bi weekly salary - deductions
=600-81
=$519
Net Bi weekly pay or take home after deductions is $519
