Answer:

wages and salaries activity variance= $1,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard:

Fixed= $1,230

Variable= $240 er birth

Actual:

101 births.

The actual wages and salaries for the month was $26,470.

To calculate the activity variance for wages, we need to use the following formula:

wages and salaries activity variance= (actual costs - standards costs)

standards= 1,230 + 240*101= $25,470

wages and salaries activity variance= (26,470 - 25,470)

wages and salaries activity variance= $1,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

Stridewell's insurance expense that expired for the month is obtained by dividing the Prepaid Insurance by 12 since it is for one year.  Thus, Stridewell obtains $240 ($2,880/12) as the expense for the month.  The balance remaining in the Prepaid Insurance is a current asset which is carried into the next month.

Journal entries help us to identify the accounts involved in each Stridewell's transaction and the account it should debit and the one it should credit. They are the initial record made by Stridewell in its accounting books for each business transaction.

Taxicab fares in most cities are regulated. Several years ago taxicab drivers in Boston obtained permission to raise their feres
Scorpion4ik [409]

Solution:

Let's start by assuming that the taxi ride demand is extremely elastic, to the extent that it is vertically sluggish! If the cabbies raise the fair price by 10% from 10.00 per mile to 11.00 per kilometre, the number of riders remains 20.

Total income before fair growth= 20* 10= 200.

Total income following fair growth = 11* 20= 220.

A 10% increase in the fare therefore leads to a 10% increase in the driver's revenue.

Therefore, the assumption in this situation is that the cab drivers think the taxi driving requirement is highly inelastic.

The demand curve facing the drivers of the cab is still inelastic, but not vertically bent.

When the rate increased from 10% to 11, riders declined from 20% to 19%

Total revenue before fair growth is 20* 10= 200

The gap between revenue and fair growth is 19* 11= 209

This means that a realistic 10% raise doesn't result in a 10% boost on income Because the market curve for taxi rides is not 100% inelastic, but rather low inelastic, so that a fair increase (control) allows consumers to lose their incomes.
