Answer:
Statement a. is correct.
Explanation:
The effective annual rate is always higher than the nominal interest rate, as the formula is clear for any number of periods, for any interest rate:
Effective Annual Rate of return = 
Further if we calculate the present value of annuity due and ordinary annuity assuming 6 % interest rate, then:
Present value of annuity due = 

= 1.06  $400.95
 $400.95
= $425.0089
Present value of ordinary annuity =  
 
= $150  2.6730
 2.6730
= $400.95
Therefore, value of annuity due is more than value of ordinary annuity.
Statement a. is correct.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Given:
Actual Production 6,000 units @ 1.5 standard hours per unit.
Budgeted hours: 10,000 
Fixed overhead cost per unit is $0.50 per hour.
6000 units * 1.5 std. hrs/unit = 9,000 hours
Actual hours: 9,000 hours * $0.50 per hour = $4,500
Budgeted hours: 10,000 hours * $0.50 per hour = $5,000
Fixed Factory Overhead Volume Variance = $5,000 - $4,500 = $500 UNFAVORABLE. 
It is unfavorable because the production is inefficient. It is more favorable if the produced units are higher than 6,000 units and the actual hours of production are more than the budgeted hours of production. 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Quality.
Explanation:
Garvin´s definitions of quality based on the perspective of the viewer (perception is reality):
-Transcendent. quality is intuitively understood but nearly impossible to communicate.
-Product based. quality is found in the components and attributes of a product.
-User based. if the costumer is satisfied, the product has good quality.
-Manufacturing based. if the products conforms to desing specifications, it has good quality.
-Value based. if the product is perceived as providing good value for price, it has a good quality.
Garvin´s dimensions of product quality are:
Performance, features, reliability, conformance, durability, serviceability, aesthetics, and perceived quality.
These different dimensions of quality are not mutually exclusive.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
higher in the steel market, lower in the rice market, and unchanged in the TV market
Explanation:
Producer surplus can be defined as the variance between the amount an individual or nation is willing to take for certain quantity of a product versus the amount they receive when the goods are sold at the market value. For the nation of Aquilonia to be importing rice that means producer surplus is higher because the variance is low, it will export rice because the producer variance is low, and hence it wants to give to other countries. But since it is neither exporting nor importing TV, that means that the producer surplus remained the same even after the change in policy.
 
        
             
        
        
        
The communication medium that will be used in this scenario is the use of SMS to pass the information to them.
<h3>What is communication?</h3>
It should be noted that communication is the process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, or behavior.
Communication is the act of giving, receiving, and sharing information and good communicators listen carefully, speak or write clearly, and respect different opinions.
For communicating with customers, I would use a medium of SMS to the customer's registered mobile numbers and social media to inform them regarding the problem. 
This would help to reach out to customers far and wide and this communication can be executed within a short span of time, as is the requirement of the situation.
To communicate with the home office employees, who are 20 in number, I would suggest using voice calling them to take necessary measures and ensure the safety and health of consumers.
