Answer:

Possible causes of material quantity variance:

1. The use of sub-standard material

2. The use of unskilled labour

3. Wastage of material

Explanation:

Material quantity variance is the difference between standard quantity and actual quantity used multiplied by standard price. The use of sub-standard material reduces the quality of output thereby resulting to unfavorable material quantity variance. The use of unskilled labour also leads to unfavorable material quantity variance. Wastage of material due to low quality of inputs also results to unfavorable material quantity variance.

I have been working on a Elementary Spanish 1 assignment for about 30 minutes, and I am now stuck. Can you please help me with t

Leya [2.2K]

These are OK

1. ¿Cuántos estudiantes hablan español?

Veinte estudiantes hablan español.

2. ¿A qué hora es la clase de sociología?

La clase es a las cinco

4. ¿Qué cursos tomas?

Estoy tomando historía, español, y arte

Now these need correction:

3. ¿Trabajas ustedes mañana? This is common, "ustedes" is plural "you" , singular "you" is "tu", and when the verb is conjugated there is no need of the personal pronoun, a correct version of this question would be "¿Trabajas mañana?

No, no trabajas mañana. Trabaja sábado. "trabajas" is conjugated in second person, you should answer in first person "No, no trabajo mañana, trabajo el sabado"

5. ¿Estudias? I dont know what you mean by this, in english is: "study?" if you are asking "are you studying for you examns?" or something like that it would be "¿estas estudiando?"

¿Estudias...?? And the answer would be "Si,estoy estudiando mucho" - "Yes, I'm studying hard"

7. ¿Hay? The same as before this means "is there...?" you might ask "is there a coffee shop in campus?" and in spanish "hay cafeterias en el campus?"

¿Hay....???? And the answer here is "yes, there are" => "si, hay"

8. ¿Dónde está? Where is...? is this question, you might ask "where is the coffee shop?", "donde está la cafeteria?"

¿Donde esta???? "La cafeteria esta en la esquina" => "The coffee shop is the corner"

1. An engineer in 1950 was earning $6,000 a year. Today she earns $60,000 a year. However, on average goods today cost 6.6 times

vivado [14]

The engineer's real income today in terms of constant 1950 dollars is $14,400.

<h3>What is the real income?</h3>

Real income ls nominal income less inflation rate. Inflation rate is when there is a persistent rise in the general price levels of a country.

Real income = nominal income - inflation

Inflation = (1 + 6.6) x $6000 = $45,600

Real income = $60,000 - $45,600 = $14,400

A division's return on investment may be improved by increasing:

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": capital turnover or sales margin.

Explanation:

Return on Investment, or ROI, measures the amount of return on an investment relative to the cost of investment. The return of an investment is divided by its cost to calculate ROI. The result is expressed as a percentage or as a ratio. Investments with positive ROI are likely to be successful while those with negative figures are possible to end up in losses.

To increase a division's ROI, the firm can increase the capital turnover (capital assets that allow the company to profit) or the sales margin (the difference between costs and the net profit of selling a unit of a product).
