Answer:
$37,600 favorable
Explanation:
Variable overhead spending variance can be computed as;
= (Actual hours worked × Actual variable overhead rate) - ( Actual hours worked - Standard variable overhead rate)
= ( 18,800 hours × $77,700/12,000) - (18,800 hours × $4.5)
= [(18,800 × $6.5) - (18,800 × $4.5)]
= $122,200 - $84,600
= $37,600 favorable
Answer:
D. Pure competition spreads resources between many different
firms.
Explanation:
Pure competition is a market structure with many suppliers and many buyers. All the suppliers sell a homogeneous product. There is intense business competition among the suppliers. Other characteristics of pure competition include
- There are no dominant suppliers.
- There is ease of entry and exit into the market
- Suppliers/firms are price takers.
In pure competition, resources are shared among the many competing firms in the industry, unlike in a monopoly that has only a single supplier. Resources include raw materials and profits.
Answer:
(a) GDP is a dependent variable and aggregate net investment is a independent variable. There is a positive relationship between the variables which means that an increase in the net investment will lead to increase GDP.
(b) There is a negative relationship between the variables which means that as the supply of wheat increases, as a result price of wheat falls. So, as the number of acres of wheat planted in a season increases as a result price of wheat decline.
(c) There is a negative relationship between the variables which means that an increase in the interest rate in an economy will lead to increase the cost of borrowings and hence, net investment falls.
(d) There is a negative relationship between the variables because of the law of demand. It states that an increase in the price of a commodity will lead to reduce the quantity demanded for that commodity.
(e) There is no relationship between these variables. Both the variables are totally uncorrelated.
Answer:
Note: <em>The complete question is attached as picture below</em>
1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.
PV * (1 + S1) = FV
1 + S1 = 1000 / 900
S1 = 1.1111 - 1
S1 = 0.1111
S1 = 11.11%
1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950
Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50
950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2
950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2
1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905
(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905
1 + S2 = 1.160221/2
S2 = 7.714%
1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2
Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602
Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586
Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92
