Answer:
It does not consider all the unemployed people.
Explanation:
The unemployment rate is a percent expression of the jobless labor force in an economy. In calculating the unemployment rate, the bureau of labor statistics considers only the unemployed people who have been actively seeking work in the past four weeks.
Due to this reason, the unemployment rate does not include all the jobless people in the country. Unemployed individuals who have lost hope of finding work, and those who did seek employment get excluded. Those engaged in other chores like caring for the sick or the elderly are also not considered.
Answer:
There is a loss on disposal of $10000 and option C is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The units of production method charges depreciation based on the activity level that the asset is used for during a period
The depreciation rate under this method is,
Depreciation per hour = (240000 - 40000) / 10000 = $20 per hour
The depreciation for the Year 2015 and 2016 under the units of production method is,
2015 = 20 * 2400 = $48000
2016 = 20 * 2100 = $42000
The accumulated depreciation at the end of 2016 is = 48000 + 42000 = $90000
The carrying value at the end of 2016 is = 240000 - 90000 = $150000
The gain/loss on disposal = 140000 - 150000 = - $10000 or a loss of $10000
Answer:
1. Total cost of purchases for the month
- = actual purchases x actual price = 200,000 pages x $0.175 per page = $35,000
2. Materials price variance
- = (actual unit cost - standard unit cost) x actual quantity used = ($0.175 - $0.17) x 185,000 = $925 unfavorable
3. Materials quantity variance
= (actual quantity used - standard quantity allowed) x standard price = (185,000 - 170,000) x $0.17 = $2,550 unfavorable
4. Net materials variance
- = materials price variance + materials quantity variance = $925 + $2,550 = $3,475 unfavorable
Explanation:
Actual purchase price $0.175 per page
Standard quantity allowed for production 170,000 pages
Actual quantity purchased during month 200,000 pages
Actual quantity used during month 185,000 pages
Standard price per page $0.17 per page
