2 answers:

I believe the answer is: A. <span>The Fed only loans money to member banks.

During inflation for example, the federal reserve could issue government owned bonds that can be bought by normal citizens (non member banks)
This allow them to take in a lot of money from market circulation and gradually increase the value of the currency.</span>

<span>The correct answer is A. The Fed issues coin and paper money to the US treasury (i.e. US currency). It also sells, transfers and redeems government bonds, bills, notes and securities as it is, effectively, the government's bank. The Fed also regulates how much money each bank has. However, they do not only loan money to member banks (member banks are simply banks which own stocks in the Fed).</span>

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

a. No journal entry is required

b. Depreciation expense $4,756

To Accumulated depreciation-Machinery $4,756

(Being depreciation expense is recorded)

Here the depreciation expense is debited as it increased the expense and credited the accumulated depreciation as it decreased the assets

Working

Accumulated depreciation is

= ($69,600 - $4,640 ÷ 8 × 5)

= $40,600

Now Revised depreciation is

= ($69,600 - $40,600 - $5,220) ÷ 5

= $4,756

Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently established a standard cost system to help control c

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

1. a. The materials price and quantity variances

Material price variance: Standard cost per micron is $1.50 and actual cost per micron is $1.48. So, price variance is 1.48 - 1.5 = $(0.02) per micron

Quantity variance: Based on standard bill of material, Dawson Toys need 3,000 x 6 = 18,000 microns to produce 3,000 Maze toys. Actual consumption volume is 25,000 - 5,000 = 20,000 microns. So, quantity variance is 20,000 - 18,000 = 2,000 microns.

1. b. The labor rate and efficiency variances

Actual labor rate = Actual labor cost / Actual hour = 88,000/4,000 = $22 per hour.

Efficiency variance = Actual labor rate - Standard labor rate = 22 - 21 = $1 per hour.

2. Prepare a brief explanation of the possible causes of each variance.

Direct material cost variance: Total actual material cost is 20,000 x 1.48 = $29,600, higher than standard material cost of 18,000 x 1.5 = $27,000. This is mainly due to higher production waste as compared to standards.

Direct labor cost variance: Total actual labor cost is $88,000, higher than standard labor cost of 4,000 x 21 = $84,000. This is mainly due to lower labor rate per hour than expected.

In Chile, one worker can harvest 4 pounds of peppers or 4 pounds of coffee beans. In Argentina, one worker can harvest 2 pounds

Monica [59]

Chile- 4 pounds of coffee beans, Argentina - 16 pounds of coffee beans, is the correct solution of the question.

<h3>Explanation of the question?</h3>

It loses 4 pounds of coffee beans if one worker produces 4 pounds of peppers. As a result, if the worker produces 4 pounds extra peppers, 4 pounds of coffee beans will be lost. As a result, the opportunity cost of generating an additional 4 pounds of peppers for Chile is equal to 4 pounds of coffee beans.

Argentina's case:

It loses 8 pounds of coffee beans if one worker produces 2 pounds of peppers.

As a result, if the worker produces 1 pound of pepper, it loses = 8/2 = 4 pounds of coffee beans.

The worker will lose = 4 * 4 = 16 pounds of coffee beans if he produces 4 pounds of peppers.

As a result, the potential cost of producing an additional 4 pounds of peppers for Argentina is 16 pounds of coffee beans.

Thus, it is 4 pounds of coffee beans, Argentina - 16 pounds of coffee beans.
