Answer:
A. A panel that consists of households that provide purchasing information at specified intervals over an extended period
Explanation:
Longitudinal design in research is a method that involves repeated examination of the same variables over a short or long term to see if there is any changes that occur.
A fixed sample is measured repeatedly to gain information.
A panel that consists of households that provide purchasing information at specified intervals over an extended period, is an example of longitudinal design.
The fixed sample is the panel of households, and they repeatedly provide purchasing information.
So the same sample is measured continuously over a period of time
Answer:
The correct answer is:
$6,998.64 favorable (b)
Explanation:
The direct labor rate/price variance is the difference between the standard cost of production and the actual cost incurred in the production process. If the actual rate of labor is less than the standard labor rate, it is said to be favorable, because lesser time is used in the production process than estimated. The reverse is the case for unfavorable direct labor rate variance.
The formula is given as:
Direct Labor Rate Variance = (SR - AR) × AH
Where
SR = standard rate = $12.88 per hour
AR = actual rate = $12.00 per hour
AH = actual direct labor hours = 7,953 hours
∴ Direct labor rate variance = (12.88 - 12.00) × 7,953 = $6,998.64 favorable

Explanation:
The price of the bond will be equivalent to the coupon payment and maturity discounted at the YTM
<em><u>Coupon payment PV will be an annuity:</u></em>
C 35.50 (1,000 x 7.1% / 2 )
time 30 (15 years x 2 payment per year)
rate 0.027 (YTM /2 )
PV $723.5919
<em><u> The maturity will be the present value of a lump sum</u></em>
Maturity 1,000.00
time 30.00
rate 0.027
PV 449.66
We add bot h to gett the market value
PV c $723.5919
PV m $449.6625
Total $1,173.2544
