Answer:

C) It depends on the value of the Chinese yuan in relation to the dollar.

Explanation:

The exchange rate of a currency gives you a nominal value of the local currency against another foreign currency, but just by having a number doesn't mean a lot. First of all we do not know how much can you really buy with 6.42 yuans, so we are not able to know if $1 is cheap or expensive.

Assuming that the price of the horns is competitive, what can really affect this business is the fluctuations of the currency value. If the yuan appreciates against the dollar, the horns will become cheaper, but if the yuan depreciates against the dollar, the horns will become more expensive.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

The right answer is Option (D).

Explanation:

According to the Scenario, the given data is:

Standard cost : $14.80 / hour

Total working hour: 22,000 hour

Total units : 10,900 units

working hour for a single unit: 2 hours/unit

So, the direct-labor efficiency balance can be calculated as:

Direct-labor efficiency variance = Standard Cost × ( Total working hour - Standard working hour )

Where, Standard working hour = total units × working hours per unit

= 10900 × 2 = 21800 hours

So, Direct-labor efficiency variance = 14.80 × ( 22000 - 21800 )

= 14.80 × 200 = 2960 ( unfavorable )

Hence the correct answer is option (D).

Monumental, Inc. contracts with Champion Builders to erect a three-story office building on a parcel of land it has purchased. B
Elza [17]

Answer:

A) True

Explanation:

Monumental can discharge the contract by frustration. In order for a contract to be discharged by frustration, four conditions have to occur:

  1. An unforeseeable event must occur: In this case the zoning changes were unforeseeable.
  2. No party is at fault: the zoning board made the changes to the zoning of the land.
  3. Performance is impossible: there is no reason why an office building should be built in a residential only area.
  4. The result is radically different than expected: neither Monumental or Champion Builders expected a zoning change to occur.
