Answer:

Positive Statements: 1st & 2nd ; Normative Statements: 3rd & 4th

Explanation:

Positive Economics is <u>objective</u> & <u>facts</u> based <u>actual</u> economic issue description , explaining verifiable phenomenas (causal relationships).

Normative Economics is <u>subjective</u> & opinion based conclusive <u>solutions</u> to economic issues, including '<u>ought to be</u>' unverifiable suggestions.

1. Lung cancer kills millions of people each year: reflects actual objective verifiable fact about an economic (health) issue.

2. Too many people smoke: denotes another actual objective variable fact connected to (potential cause of) the above economic (health) issue.

So , these two are Positive Statements.

3. If the government were to increase taxes on cigarettes, fewer people would smoke : Is subjective opinion based probable solution to the above economic (health) issue.

4. The government should increase taxes on cigarettes : Is an 'ought to' suggestion for an economic participant (govt) to solve the above economic (health) issue.

So , these two are Normative Statements

maksim [4K]

Answer:

a. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead

= $8,000,000 - $8,750,000

= $750,000 Unfavorable

b. Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = $8,000,000 / 5,000,000

= $1.60 per barrel

Fixed overhead applied = 5,100,000 * $1.60

= $8,160,000

Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead  

= $8,160,000 - $8,000,000

= $160,000 Favorable

c. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead

Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = Budgeted fixed overhead / Planned outputs

Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead

(A bond forward) A certain 10-year bond is currently selling for $920 A friend of yours owns a forward contract on this bond tha
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: -$100

Explanation:

Value of forward contract = Selling price - Forward price on bond

Forward price = Present value of cashflows + Present value of bond

Periodic rate = 7%/ 2 = 3.5% per semi annum

= 8% / 2 = 4%

3.5% will be used to discount the payment 6 months from now as that is the 6 month rate. The rest will be 4%.

= (80 / (1 + 3.5%) ) + ( 80 / ( 1 + 4%)²) + (940 / ( 1 +4%)²)

= $1,020.342

= $1,020

Value of forward contract = 920 - 1,020

= -$100

Sophie [7]

Answer:

$10,950 Unfavorable

Explanation:

For computation of flexible budget variance for total costs first we need to find out the standard cost which is shown below:-

Standard cost = (Sold connectors × budgeted variable costs) + Fixed costs per month

= (77 × $150) + $5,500

= $11,550 + $5,500

= $17,050

Flexible budget variance for total costs = Actual cost - Standard cost

= $28,000 - $17,050

= $10,950 Unfavorable

ohaa [14]

Answer:

Investment turnover ratio determines the times when the portfolio of investment is sold during a particular period of time e.g Monthly, Annually, etc. The higher turnover results in more commission earned by the broker who is selling the portfolio.

Investment Turnover = Sales / Invested Assets

Investment Turnover = $1,228,000, / $1,150,000

Investment Turnover = 1.067826

Investment Turnover = 1.07 ( Rounded off to 2 decimals places )
