Answer:$2,125 unfavorable

Explanation:

Given

Standard costs 9,000 hours at $5.50

Actual costs 8,500 hours at $5.75

we have two formulas to calculate for direct labor rate variance is:

1ST ----Direct Labor rate variance = (Actual Rate- Standard Rate ) x Actual hour

=( $5.75 -$5.50) x 8,500 = $2,125 unfavorable

2ND----Direct Labor Rate Variance=Actual Direct Labor Cost Incurred - Standard Direct Labor Cost Based on Actual Hours

=Actual Hours x Actual Rate -Actual Hours x Standard Rate

= ($5.75 x 8,500 hours)-($5.50 x 8,500 hours)

$48,875 - $46,750 = $2,125 unfavorable

when the actual rate is higher than the standard rate, the Direct Labor Rate Variance is unfavorable and if the actual rate is lower than standard rate, the variance is favorable.

A portfolio consists of $13,400 in Stock M and $18,900 invested in Stock N. The expected return on these stocks is 8.50 percent

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The expected return on the portfolio is:

10.31% ($3,331.40)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Portfolio investments: Expected Returns % Expected Returns $

Stock M = $13,400 8.50% $1,139

Stock N = $18,900 11.60% $2,192.40

Total $32,300 10.31% $3,331.40

Total expected returns in percentage is Expected Returns $/Total Investments * 100

= $3,331.40/$32,300 * 100

= 10.31%

b) The expected returns on the portfolio is derived by calculating the expected returns for each investment and summing up. Then dividing the expected portfolio returns by the portfolio investment. This yields 10.31% percentage value.
