In the heading of a cover letter, which of the following formats should be used for the date?

The real wages of workers will tend to be high when

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

When labor productivity is high.

Explanation:

According to neoclassical economic theory, real wages are equal to the marginal product of labor (MLP). The marginal product of labor is the extra output produced by one extra unit of labor (one extra worker).

If the MPL is high, this means that workers are very productive, and therefore, are paid a high real wage accordingly.

This is why countries with high labor productivity like the U.S. or Switzerland also have very high real wages.

Kimble Company applies overhead on the basis of machine hours. Given the following data, compute overhead applied and the under-

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Compute overhead applied and the under- or overapplication of overhead for the period

Budgeted Rate = $1,600,000/ 400,000 machine hours

= $ 4 per Machine Hour

Overheads Applied = 390,000 × $ 4 per Machine Hour

= 1,560,000

Actual Overheads = 1,575,000

Less Applied Overheads = 1560,000

Under- Applied = 15,000

Explanation:

Overheads are Applied as follows:

Actual Activity for the period × Budgeted Overhead Rate

Budgeted Rate is determined as follows:

Budgeted Total Overheads/Budgeted Activity

Under- or Overapplication of overhead is determined as follows:

Actual Overheads - Applied Overheads

Under Application is therefore : Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads

Over Application is therefore : Actual Overheads < Applied Overheads

Evaluate the extent to which Wal-Mart's previous revenue policy was consistent with the revenue recognition principle.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Wal-Mart's previous revenue policy was inconsistent with the revenue recognition principle. It used to recognize revenue when performance obligations have not been met.

Explanation:

In response to SAB 101 issued by the Stock Exchange Commission in 1999, Wal-Mart changed its revenue recognition policy for layaway transactions. Layaway transactions are those in which Wal-Mart sets aside merchandise for customers who make partial payment. Before SAB 101, Wal-Mart recognized all revenue on the sale at the-time of the layaway. After the change, Wal-Mart does not recognize revenue until customers satisfy all payment obligations and take possession of the merchandise.

Annette [7]

Answer:

22 months

Explanation:

The 20% down payment which is target savings =$165,000*20%=$33,000

The are two paychecks which is $1,400 each

monthly savings is one paycheck=$1,400

rate of compounding is 7.83% yearly=7.83%/12=0.006525 monthly

The number of months the savings will reach $33,000 can be computed using the nper formula in excel as shown below:

=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)

rate is the monthly rate i,e 0.006525

pmt is the monthly savings of $1,400

pv is the present worth of the savings which is unknown

fv is the future value of target savings which is $33,000

=nper(0.006525,-1400,0,33000)=22 months approximately

In June 2015, the unemployment rate declined to 5.3 percent from 5.5 percent in May. The labor force participation rate also dec

cricket20 [7]

Answer: A. greater than 5.3 percent because the value in the numerator of the formula for the unemployment rate would increase more than the value in the denominator.

Explanation:

The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the number of those who are unemployed but actively seeking employment by the labor force.

= Unemployed / Labor force

If the labor force participation rate had remained unchanged then that would mean that the denominator for the unemployment rate did not change while unemployment did.

The unemployment rate will therefore be greater than 5.3% because the numerator which is the unemployment figure, would have increase more than the denominator.
