Answer:
The variable overhead rate variance for the month is $2,548 favorable
Explanation:
In this question, we use the formula of the variable overhead rate variance which is shown below:
= Actual level of activity × (Standard rate - Actual rate )
= 9,100 × ($7.60 - $7.32)
= 9,100 × 0.28
= $2,548 favorable
The actual rate is not given in the question, so we have to compute by using the formula which is given below:
= Actual total variable manufacturing overhead ÷ Actual level of activity
= $66,600 ÷ 9,100
= $7.32
Hence, the variable overhead rate variance for the month is $2,548 favorable
Answer:
a. $(8000)
b. Company should choose alternative 1 and make bottles.
Explanation:
Particulars Make Bottles Buy Bottles Differential
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Purchase Price 0 $37 $(37)
Freight Charges 0 $4 $(4)
Variable cost $33 $33
Fixed Cost $17 $17 0
Cost per unit $50 $58 $(8)
Income / (Loss) $50,000 $58,000 $(8,000)
b. The company should choose alternative 1 and make bottles. The buying of bottles will cost company loss of $8,000.
Answer:
Current stock price = $24.23
Explanation:
Stock price under Discounted Model:
P0 = D1 \div(Ke - g)
P0 = Current Market price of the share
g = Growth rate = 5.0%
Ke = Cost of equity = 11.5% p.a
D1 = Expected dividend = $1.50 (1 + 0.05)= $1.575
P0 = $1.575 / (11.50% - 5.0%)
Current stock price = $24.23
Answer:
The correct answer is option d.
Explanation:
If a demand curve is linear and downward sloping, different points on the line can show different values of slope. The value of slope will be equal to the ratio of change in price to change in quantity demanded. The value of slope will be the same throughout the line.
The price elasticity is the ratio of change in quantity to change in price. The price elasticity can be different for different points on the demand curve.
The points on the lower parts are more inelastic while the points on the upper portion are more elastic. The midpoint represents unit price elasticity.
Since the upper portion is more price elastic, an increase in price will cause a more than proportionate decrease in the quantity demanded. This will cause the total revenue to decrease.
Answer:
AEC needs rubber to make its seals too. Oil is needed to produce rubber and, like coal and iron ore, oil is a natural resource. Without oil, AEC would have no rubber for seals. Natural resources are declining over time + coal reserves, especially, are running out.
