Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1.
Direct Material Price Variance = Actual material cost - Actual Quantity × Standard Price
For Silver
= $13848 - 577 × 23
= $577 (U)
For Crystal
= $2926 - 7700 × 0.40
= $154 (F)
Direct Material Quantity Variance = (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity) × Standard Price
For Silver
= (577 - 1530 × 0.40) × 23
= $805 (F)
For Crystal
= (7700 - 1530 × 5) × 0.40
= $20 (U)
2.
Direct Labor Rate Variance = Actual Cost - Actual Hours × Standard Rate
= $36915 - 3210 × 12
= $1605 (F)
And,
Direct Labor efficiency Variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) × Standard Rate
= (3210 - 1530 × 2) × 12
= $1800 (U)
The interest per year for $5,000 to become $9,110 after 30 years is 2.02% compounded continuously.
Answer:
$0.3 per machine hour
Explanation:
The computation of the variable maintenance cost per machine hour using the high low method is shown below:
Variable cost per machine hour = (High maintenance cost - low maintenance cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low machine hours)
= ($9,000 - $7,200) ÷ (20,000 machine hours - 14,000 machine hours)
= $1,800 ÷ 6,000 machine hours
= $0.3 per machine hour
Answer: Dr. Bostwick was able to provide medical services that did not satisfy his own wants, so he exchanged those services for money that he used to buy things that did. Professor Boudreaux had money but desperately wanted a pediatric gastroenterologist to treat his son.
Explanation:
Trade generates value by transferring goods or services from those who value them less to the people who need them more. The only way people can decide to specialize in the making of a single good or service is because they already know they can trade it for other goods they do need.
In the video 'How the Division of Knowledge Saved My Son's Life', Professor Boudreaux explains that it was thanks to Dr. Bostwick specialization on pediatric gastroenterology that his son´s life was saved.
