Answer:

B) the firm will shut down in the short run, but stay in the industry in the long run if it expects the product price to rise high enough soon.

Explanation:

For a company to keep producing any product the price must at least be equal or preferably higher than the average variable production costs. If the price is lower than the average variable production cost, the company will choose to shut down production ate least temporarily. If the company believes that the price will increase in the future, they should decide to stay in the industry until the price increases and then resume the production.

Furkat [3]

Answer:

                                                                                                 $

Standard total overhead cost (0.5 hr x 25,000 x $3.29) 41,125

Less: Actual total overhead cost ($21,000 + $18,000)    39,000

Total overhead variance                                                      2,125(F)

                                           

Standard overhead application rate

= <u>Budgeted overhead</u>

  Budgeted direct labour hours

= <u>$115,150</u>

   35,000 hours

= $3.29 per direct labour hour

Explanation:

Total overhead variance is the difference between standard total overhead cost and actual total overhead cost. Standard total overhead cost is the product of standard hours per unit, standard overhead application rate and actual output produced. Actual total overhead cost is the aggregate of actual variable overhead cost and actual fixed overhead cost. Standard overhead application rate is the ratio of budgeted overhead to budgeted direct labour hours (normal capacity).

416,000 people each receive an average refund of $3,600, based on an interest rate of 3 percent, what would be the lost annual i
victus00 [196]

Answer:

$44,928,000

Explanation:

The fact that 416,000 received a refund of $3,600 each means that the tax authority would lose the interest income that could have been generated on the total refund amount based on a 3% interest rate of return.

Lost annual income=number of people who got refund*average refund per person*interest rate of return

number of people who got refund=416000

average refund per person=$3,600

the interest rate of return=3%

Lost annual income=416,000*$3,600*3%

Lost annual income=$44,928,000
