Answer:

Residents (people's) reaction to Incentives

Explanation:

An incentive represents something, an action or a law that causes people to act or change their behaviour about something at a particular time. Basically, incentives work by making rewards available to individuals who change their behaviour on a targeted issue.

Usually, since people rationally compare the costs and benefits of their actions, incentives gives them the opportunity to raise their perception of this costs and benefits and also induces them to respond.

Florida increases the tax on alcoholic beverages, the people still see the benefits of taking alcohol but not at the increased, the reaction therefore, is to purchase in surrounding states where they are still cheaper without a tax increase.

It should be noted from the Florida example that the reaction of people to incentives can both be negative and positive. This example shows a negative response as a result of raised costs when compared with benefits.

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

b) The average cost must be rising.

Explanation:

Assuming that the entity produce 4 units and its total cost is $16 so average cost per unit is $4 and  now the same entity has produced the 5th unit at $5 so the average cost now per unit is (16+5)/5=$4.2

So based on the above discussion, it can be concluded that average cost increase when the marginal cost of production is increased.

So the answer is b) The average cost must be rising.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The balance in the Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock account at December 31, 2014 is $36,000

Explanation:

The computation of the balance in the treasury stock account is shown below:

= Number of shares sold × (Selling price of share - purchase price of share)

= 18,000 shares × ($13 per share - $11 per share)

= 18,000 shares × $2 per share

= $36,000

The other items which are mentioned like issued shares, authorized shares are irrelevant because we have to compute for the treasury stock, not for the common stock. So, these parts would be ignored in the computation part.

Direct Labor Variances The following data relate to labor cost for production of 20,000 cellular telephones: Actual: 8,450 hrs.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is given below:

a)  

Direct labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) × Actual hours  

= ($22.50 - $23) × 8,450 hours

= -$4,225.00 Favorable

Direct labor time variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) × Standard rate  

= (8,450 hours - 8,400 hours) × $23

= $ 1,150.00 Unfavorable

Total direct labor cost variance is

= Direct labor rate variance + Direct labor time variance  

= $4,225 Favorable + $1,150 Unfavorable

= -$3,075.00 Favorable

b.  In the case when the employees are not much experienced or they are poorly trained so the less experience cause to less performance due to which the actual time needed should be more than the standard one
