Answer: Option D    

     

Explanation: In simple words, The theory of liquidity preference is a hypothesis that indicates that an investor will demand a higher interest rate or premium on long-term bonds with higher risk because, with all other factors being equal, investors prefer money or other highly liquid capital over other fixed securities.

This phenomenon occurs due to the fact that the interest rate in the market fluctuates heavily on daily basis due to it dependence on various different factors one of which is durability.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is D .

Problem 9-18 Comprehensive Variance Analysis [LO9-4, LO9-5, LO9-6]
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

1 a. Materials price and quantity variances.

Material price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) * Actual Quantity purchased

= ($2.45 - $2) * 15,800

= $0.45 * 15,800

= $7110 (Unfavorable)

Materials Quantity variance = (Actual Quantity used - Standard Quantity allowed) * Standard price  

(10600 - 3000 * 3.6) * $2

= (10,600 -  10,800) * $2

= 200 * $2

= 400 (Favorable)

b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.

Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - standard rate) * Actual hours

= (6.30 - 6.6) * 2,100

= 0.3 * 2,100

= 630 (Favorable)

Labor Efficiency variance  = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed) *  Standard rate  

= (2100 - 3000 * 0.5) * 6.6

= (2,100 - 1,500) * 6.6

= 600 * 6.6

= 3960 (Unfavorable)

c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances

Variable overhead rate variance  = (Actual rate - Standard rate * Actual machine hours)

= 3000 - (2.10 * 1200)

= 3,000 - 2,520

= 480 Unfavorable

Variable overhead Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed)* Standard rate

= (1200 - 3000 * 0.3) * 2.10    

= (1200 - 900) * 2.10

= 300 * 2.10

= 630 (Unfavorable)

2.    Variances                                            Amount

Material price variance                             7,110 U

Material quantity variance                         400 F

Labor rate variance                                    630 F

Labor efficiency variance                           3,960 U

Variable overhead rate variance               480 U

Variable overhead efficiency variance      <u>630 U</u>

Net variance                                                <u>11,150 U</u>

<u></u>

The net variance of all the variance of the month is 11,150 (Unfavorable)

1. Why might a company claim that the total cost of employing a person is $15.30 per hour
gavmur [86]
Companies often do work on a cost-reimbursement basis. That is, Company B reimburses Company A for the cost of doing work for Company B. Suppose your company has a contract that calls for reimbursement of direct materials and direct labor, but not overhead. Following are costs that various organizations incur; they fall into three categories: direct materials (DM), direct labor (DL), or overhead (OH). Classify each of these items as direct materials, direct labor, or overhead.
