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.

sasho [114]

Answer: 14%

Explanation:

We can calculate this using the Gordon Growth Model which looks like this,

P = D1 / r - g

P is the current stock price

D1 is the next dividend

r is the rate of return or the cost of capital

g is the growth rate.

We have all those figures except the cost of capital so making r the subject of the formula we can solve for it. Doing that will make the formula,

r = D/ P + g

r = 1.55 / 22.10 + 0.07

r = 0.1401

r = 14%

14% is the equity cost of capital.
