Answer:

Option D

Wales

Explanation:

<em>Whenever a company is faced with a limiting factor i.e a resource in short supply, the company should allocate the resource to the product with the highest contribution per unit of the scare resource </em>

The contribution per unit = selling  price - unit variable cost

Bales- 55- 20= 35  per unit

Tales-  78- 50 = 28  per unit

Wales - 32- 15 = 17  per unit

Contribution per hour = contribution per unit/machine hour required

Product        Cont/unit      machine hr /unit      cont/hr     Ranking

Bales                 35                   5                         7                   2nd

Tales                 28                 7                          4                    3rd

Wales                17                  1                            17                   1st              

<em>Note that the contribution per machine is arrived as contribution per unit divided machine hours required per product. </em>

Consider two stocks X and Y with the following expected returns (in percent) and standard deviations. How much of your $10,000 t
charle [14.2K]

X $4000

Y $6000

Explanation:

Let w be invested in Stock X,

Correlation = -1

Standard Deviation = w(0.75) - (10,000 - w)(0.50)

So,

For standard Deviation to be 0,

0 = 0.75w - 5,000 + 0.50w

w = $4,000

Amount invested in Stock X = $4,000

Amount invested in Stock Y = $6,000

why would it be cheapter to have pullition credits compared to reducing pollution units microeconomics
Katyanochek1 [597]

When Company A stops emitting pollution or lowers air pollution, a pollution credit may be created.

The federal Clean Air Act of 1990 (CAA) gave businesses a mechanism to comply with rules meant to reduce air pollution through the creation of pollution credits. Since 1995, a "cap and trade" system developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other states has given utilities and businesses permission to emit a set amount of particular pollutants. While assisting in upholding the requirements necessary to preserve cleaner air, this approach gives businesses considerable flexibility in their compliance. By voluntarily lowering its polluting emissions below the EPA's set limitations, a business can obtain pollution credits. After then, earned credits can either be sold to another business that struggles to keep its emissions within legal bounds or stored for later use.

Answer:

The direct labor quantity variance for November=$9,000

Explanation:

To calculate the direct labor quantity variance, multiply the standard rate by the difference between the total standard hours of direct labor and the total actual hours of direct labor.

This can be expressed as;

Direct labor quantity variance=(Total standard hours-Total actual hours)×standard rate

where;

Total standard hours=rate×actual number of units produced

Total standard hours=(2×3,600)=7,200 hours

Total actual hours=7,000 hours

Standard rate=$45

replacing;

Direct labor quantity variance=(Total standard hours-Total actual hours)×standard rate

Direct labor quantity variance=(7,200-7,000)×45

Direct labor quantity variance=(200×45)=9,000

Direct labor quantity variance=$9,000
