Answer:
This implies that bus is an inferior good and car is a normal good.
Explanation:
Initially, Jim's income was $5000 a year.
As his income increases to $60,000 a year, he decides to buy a car instead of using the bus.
In other words, with the increase in income, the demand for traveling by bus is declining.
This implies that it is an inferior good.
The demand for the car is increasing with an increase in income.
So, the car is a normal good.
An inferior good can be defined as a product that shows negative elasticity. This means with an increase in income its demand declines an vice versa.
A normal good can be defined as a product that shows positive income elasticity. That is, its demand increases with rise in income and vice versa.
Answer:
faces exchange rate risk to the extent that it has international competitors in the domestic market.
Explanation:
Exchange rate risk is defined as the risk that exists when a company engaged in transactions that are denominated in a foreign currency rather than the domestic currency.
So if a purely domestic firm that sources and sells only domestically has international competitors in its local market, and the exchange rate is favouring the competitors there will be a risk for them.
For example if international competitors can source raw materials cheaper because of the exchange rate of a foreign country, it will be a disadvantage to local firms that cannot reduce their prices.
Answer:
Total materials variance = (Actual quantity * Actual price) - (Standard quantity * Standard price)
= 2,850 - (230 * 14.4)
= 462 (Favourable)
Materials price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) * Actual quantity
= [1.8 - (2,850/1,500)] * 1,500
= 150 Unfavourable
Materials quantity variance = (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) * Standard price
= [(230 * 8) - 1,500] * 1.8
= 612 Favourable
Total labour variance = (Actual hours * Actual rate) - (Standard hours * Standard rate)
= 19,458 - (230 * 84)
= 138 Unfavourable
Labour price variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual hours
= [14 - (19,458/1,410)] * 1,410
= 282 Favourable
Labour quantity variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) * Standard rate
= [(230 * 6) - 1,410] * 14
= 420 Unfavourable
Answer:
$75,240
Explanation:
Given that,
Consumer price index in 1999 = 170
Salary in 1999 = $44,000
Consumer price index in 2016 = 290
Therefore, the required salary is calculated as follows:
= Salary in 1999 × (Consumer price index in 2016 ÷ Consumer price index in 1999)
= $44,000 × (290 ÷ 170)
= $44,000 × 1.71
= $75,240
Hence, the amount of salary have to earn in 2016 in order to equal your 1999 real income is $75,240.
