6 0

Answer: 6%

Explanation:

Total population= 260 million.

Dependent population= 60 million

Employed population= 188 million

Unemployed population= 12 million

Total Labour Force= employed population + unemployed population

= 188 million + 12 million

= 200 million

Therefore total labor force= 200 million

Unemployment rate= unemployed people/ Total Labour Force×100

= 12 million/200 million×100

=0.06× 100

=6%

Unemployment rate= 6%

Volume variance    $1,320  Favorable

Explanation:

The fixed overhead volume variance is the difference between the actual and budgeted production unit multiplied by the standard fixed production overhead cost per unit.

Standard fixed overhead cost per unit = $11×6 =  116

                                                                                             Units

Budgeted     units                                                               375

Actual            units                                                              <u>395</u>

Volume variance                                                                  20

Standard fixed overhead cost                                        <u>× $66 </u>

Volume variance                                                              <u>  $1,320   Favorable</u>

Suppose Ford Motor Company issues a five year bond with a face value of $5,000 that pays an annual coupon payment of $150.
blondinia [14]

Answer:

interest rate =  15%

value of the bond will decrease

Explanation:

given data

face value = $5,000

time = 5 year

annual coupon payment = $150

solution

we get here interest rate on the borrowed funds that will be as

interest rate = \frac{annual\ coupon}{face\ value/time}  × 100

put here value we get

interest rate =  \frac{150}{\frac{5000}{5} }  × 100

interest rate =  15%

and

when bond issued at interest rate =  3 %

but market interest rate 4%

so seller will reduce price of bond less than the face value

because we will look for atleast 4% payout when bond matures

so value of the bond will decrease

balandron [24]

Answer:

$5,400= indirect material

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard= $0.75 per unit of output.

Indirect material spending variance= $600 favorable

8,000 units of output were produced last month.

To determine the indirect material costs incurred, we need to use the following formula:

Indirect material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

600= (0.75 - actual price)*8,000

600= 6,000 - actual price

5,400= actual price (in total)

To prove:

Indirect material price variance= (0.75*8,000 - 5,400)

Indirect material price variance= $600 favorable
