CPI (Consumer Price Index) is a measure of changes in prices paid by consumers for goods and services. It is used to estimate the changes in prices.
Therefore;
Change in prices = (CPI in current year - CPI in base year)/CPI in base year
Substituting for the values given in the current problem
Changes in prices = (108-100)/100 = 8/100 = 0.08 or 8%.
This shows that prices increased by 8% in the current year compared to the base year.
Answer:
2,256 hours
Explanation:
The computation of the total standard direct labor hours allowed (SQ) for units produced is shown below;
As we know that
Labor rate variance = (Actual hours × Actual rate) - (Actual hours × Standard rate)
($5,000) = $35,000 - (2,500 × Standard rate)
2,500 × Standard rate = $40,000
Standard rate = $16
Now
Labor efficiency variance = (Actual hours × Standard rate) - (Standard hours × Standard rate)
$3,900 = (2,500 × $16) - (Standard hours × $16)
Standard hours × $16 = 36,100
Standard hours = 2,256.25
= 2,256 hours
