There are a lot of way to improve productivity of a society. However there are also a lot of reason why productivity always fails. One main reason is not being effective and efficient. Being effective make you do your work with quality and being efficient is doing your job with less resources used.

I believe the answer is : Regulation

Regulation is made by the government if it want to limit a certain activity made by the people. Even though regulation might give positive benefit for the environment or the consumers, If the regulation is seen from a business point of view, it would become a hindrance for the businesses and prevent it from obtaining maximum production.

Huai takes out a $3,600 student loan at 6.6% to help him with 2 years of community college. After finishing the 2 years, he tran
Alja [10]

Answer:

a. The monthly payment on loan 1 is $76.03.

b. The monthly payment on loan 2 is $411.69.

Explanation:

a. Calculate the monthly payment on loan 1.

To determine the amount of periodic payments, the present value of annuity formula should be used:

PV=P(\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n} }{r} )

Where:

PV= present value

p=periodic payment

i=rate of interest

n=number of periods

We get the data for this exercise:

PV= 3,600 (loan).

p= unknown (we must find this value)

i= 6.6% or 0.066. However, because we need to know the monthly payment, the interest rate should be divided by 12 (0.066 / 12).

n= 4 years and 7 months, that is 55 months.

And we replace in the formula:

3600=P(\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.066}{12})^{-55} }{\frac{0.066}{12} } )

3600=P(\frac{1-(1+0.055)^{-55} }{0.0055} )

3600=P(\frac{1-(0.7395812268)}{0.0055} )

3600=P(\frac{0.2604187732}{0.0055} )

3600=P(47.348867)

Therefore:

P=\frac{3600}{47.348867}

P=76.03

The monthly payment on loan 1 is $76.03.

b. Calculate the monthly payment on loan 2.

We get the data for this exercise:

PV= 11,600 (loan 2).

p= unknown (we must find this value)

i= 7.3% or 0.073. However, because we need to know the monthly payment, the interest rate should be divided by 12 (0.073 / 12).

n= 2 years and 7 months, that is 31 months.

And we replace in the formula:

11600=P(\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.073}{12})^{-31} }{\frac{0.073}{12} } )

11600=P(\frac{1-(1+0.006083)^{-31} }{0.006083} )

11600=P(\frac{1-(0.8286047296)}{0.006083} )

11600=P(\frac{0.1713952704}{0.006083} )

11600=P(28.1761088936)

Therefore:

P=\frac{11600}{28.1761088936}

P=411.69

The monthly payment on loan 2 is $411.69.

Degger [83]

Answer:

$354 Favorable

Explanation:

Net Operating Income in Planned budget = Revenue - Total Expense

Net Operating Income in Planned budget = (3,100*$35.10) - (3,100*$17.40 + $44,400)

Net Operating Income in Planned budget = $108,810 - $98,340

Net Operating Income in Planned budget = $10,470

Net Operating Income in Flexible budget = Revenue - Total Expense

Net Operating Income in Flexible budget = (3,080*$35.10) - (3,080*$17.40 + $44,400)

Net Operating Income in Flexible budget = $108,108 - $97,992

Net Operating Income in Flexible budget = $10,116

Activity variance for net operating income = Net Operating Income in Planned budget - Net Operating Income in Flexible budget

Activity variance for net operating income = $10,470 - $10,116

Activity variance for net operating income = $354 Favorable

The cost of goods for sale is the sum of the beginning finished goods inventory plus the cost of manufactured goods less the ending finished goods inventory.

The income statement is a statement of revenue and costs in order to show the financial performance of an entity during a period of time.  It shows the gross profit and net operating profit or loss.

The Gross profit is the difference between Sales Revenue and the Cost of goods sold.

The Operating Profit (Loss) is the difference between the Gross profit and the Operating costs.
