Answer:

PV=454.54

Explanation:

This problem can be solved applying the concept of future value, the 500 represents money in the future an the 10% is how that money is valued over time

FV=PV*(1+i)^{n}

where FV is future value, PV is the present value, i is the periodic interest rate and n is the number of periods. So applying to this particular problem we have:

500=PV*(1+0.1)^{1}

solving for PV we have:

PV=454.54

Miguel, a recent​ 22-year old college​ graduate, wants to retire a millionaire. How much will he need to set aside annually to a
olga55 [171]

Answer

Miguel must set aside $62,745 annually

Explanation

N = Number of years till Miguel would retire = 43 years

FV = Future Value = $1,000,000

r = Interest rate = 10%

PMT = Annual payments (at the ending of the year) = ?? The question asks us to calculate this

We would use the future value ordinary annuity formula to calculate PMT

FV = PMT [\frac{(1+r )^{N} -1}{r} ]

1000000 = PMT [\frac{(1+0.10 )^{10} -1}{0.10} ]

PMT ≅ $62,745

Miguel must set aside $62,745 annually

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Material Price Variance= $ 2850 Unfavorable

Material Quantity Variance=$ 900 unfav

Total direct materials variance $ 3750

Direct Labor Rate  variance= $ 3325 fav

Direct labor time variance= 3200 Unfavorable

Total Direct Labor Cost Variance= 125 fav

Explanation:

Standard wage per hour $20

Standard labor time per faucet 30 min  = 0.5 *5000= 2500 Hrs

Standard number of lbs. of brass 2.5lbs

Standard price per lb. of brass $1.80

Actual price per lb. of brass $1.95

Actual lbs of brass used during the week 13,000 lbs

Number of faucets produced during the week 5,000

Actual wage per hr. $18.75

Actual hrs for the week (70 employees x 38 hours) 2,660

 

Material Price Variance= (Actual Price * Actual Quantity)- (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)

Material Price Variance= ($ 1.95 *13000)-($1.8 *5000*2.5)= ($ 1.95 *13000)-($1.8 *12500)= $ 25350 - $  22500= $ 2850

Material Price Variance= $ 2850 Unfavorable

Material Quantity Variance= (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)-(Standard Price * Standard Quantity)

Material Quantity Variance=($1.8 *13000)-($1.8 *12500)= 23400- 22500

Material Quantity Variance=$ 900 Unfav

Total direct materials variance =Material Price Variance + Material Quantity Variance= 2850 + 900 = $ 3750 Unfav

Direct Labor Rate  variance= (actual hours* actual rate)- (actual hours * standard rate)

Direct Labor Rate  variance=( 2660 *18.75)  - (2660*20)= 49875- 53200

Direct Labor Rate  variance= $ 3325 fav

Direct labor time variance= (actual hours* standard rate)- (standard hours * standard rate)

Direct labor time variance= (2660 *20) -(0.5 * 5000*20)

Direct labor time variance= 53200-50,000

Direct labor time variance= 3200 Unfavorable

Total Direct Labor Cost Variance= Direct Labor Rate  variance + Direct labor time variance= 3325 fav- 3200 unfav= 125 fav
