Answer: $45,862.29

Explanation:

This question relates to the Present value of an Annuity.

The original price would be the present value of the payments and since the payments are constant over a period, they are an annuity

Interest/ r = 2.25/12 months = 0.1875%

Periods/ n = 4 * 12 months = 48 months

= Payment * (( 1 - ( 1 + r) ^ n)/ r)

= 1,000 * (( 1 - ( 1 + 0.1875%)^48) / 0.1875%)

= $45,862.29

Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently established a standard cost system to help control c
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

1. a. The materials price and quantity variances

Material price variance: Standard cost per micron is $1.50 and actual cost per micron is $1.48. So, price variance is 1.48 - 1.5 = $(0.02) per micron

Quantity variance: Based on standard bill of material, Dawson Toys need 3,000 x 6 = 18,000 microns to produce 3,000 Maze toys. Actual consumption volume is 25,000 - 5,000 = 20,000 microns. So, quantity variance is 20,000 - 18,000 = 2,000 microns.

1. b. The labor rate and efficiency variances

Actual labor rate  = Actual labor cost / Actual hour = 88,000/4,000 = $22 per hour.

Efficiency variance = Actual labor rate - Standard labor rate = 22 - 21 = $1 per hour.

2. Prepare a brief explanation of the possible causes of each variance.

Direct material cost variance: Total actual material cost is 20,000 x 1.48 = $29,600, higher than standard material cost of 18,000 x 1.5 = $27,000. This is mainly due to higher production waste as compared to standards.

Direct labor cost variance: Total actual labor cost is $88,000, higher than standard labor cost of 4,000 x 21 = $84,000. This is mainly due to lower labor rate per hour than expected.

Unfortunately, Angie doesn't have enough money in her account right now. She needs to make additional contributions at the end o
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer: $770.22

Explanation:

If she makes equal contributions then those would be annuities. The $9,000 she wants to have will be the future value of the amount currently in her account and the annuity.

9,000 = 5,000 ( 1 + r) ^ n + ( annuity * future value interest factor of an annuity, 9%,  3 years)

9,000 = 5,000 ( 1 + 9%) ^ 3 + ( Annuity * 3.2781)

9,000 = 6,475.145‬ + 3.2781 * Annuity

Annuity  = (9,000 - 6,475.145‬) / 3.2781

Annuity = $770.22

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

AdCreate billed Anchor Motors $529,412 for the third quarter in 2010

Explanation:

The advertizing company usually takes a 15% commision

Which means from the total amount billed to customer 15% ar commision which means:

money paid to media + 15% comission of the billed amount= total amount billed

450,000 + 0.15X = X

Now, we try to solve for X and get the amount billed to anchor motors.

X = 450,000/.85 =<em> 529.411,76</em>

A _____ is used for goods that must be produced at a specific site or that are so large and bulky that it isn't feasible to move
12345 [234]

Answer:

fixed position

Explanation:

A fixed position layout is where a product to be produced remains in a certain spot or location but the workers needed to work on the product , including machinery are moved to the place where the product is to be produced as at when required. This is because there may be limited space at the project site, hence component parts of the product to be manufactured are then coupled at other site and taken to the product site.

An example of fixed layout is the construction of dams, shipbuilding, buildings etc. A fixed position layout is most suited for heavy and fragile products.

A decrease in supply would best be reflected by a change from
Sergeu [11.5K]

When there is a decrease in supply, it would be reflected by a change from Curve A to Curve C.

<h3>How are supply decreases reflected?</h3>

When supply decreases, it leads to the supply curve shifting to the left to show that there is a lesser quantity available.

In the graph therefore, a decrease in supply would be shown as a shift from Curve A to Curve C or Curve B to Curve A.
