It will take 8.04 years for the initial investment of $15000 to become $30,000
What is the future value of an investment?
The future value of $15,000 invested now earning a rate of return of 9% per year is $30,000, it the future equivalent of an amount invested now when the invested amount has earned interest over a specific period of time.
The below future value formula of single cash flow can be used to determine the number of years it takes for the initial investment to double.
FV=PV*(1+r)^N
FV=future value=$30,000
PV=initial investment=$15,000
r=rate of return=9%
N=number of years it takes for the initial investment to double=unknown(assume it is X)
$30,000=$15000*(1+9%)^N
$30000/$15000=(1+9%)^N
2=1.09^N
take log  of both sides
ln(2)=N*ln(1.09)
N=ln(2)/ln(1.09)
N=8.04 years

Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, we can compute variable manufacturing overhead efficiency variance to be;
= (SA - AQ) × SR
Where
Standard quantity = SQ = 19,000
Actual Quantity = AQ = 7,600
Standard Rate = SR = $1.9
Variable manufacturing overhead efficiency variance 
= [(19,000 × 0.3) - 7,600] × $1.9
= (5,700 - 7,600) × $1.9
= $3,610 U
 
        
             
        
        
        
A symmetric, bell-shaped frequency distribution that is completely defined by its mean and standard deviation is the<u> normal distribution.</u>
A symmetrical distribution about the mean, such as the normal or Gaussian distribution, indicates that data points closer to the mean occur more frequently than data points further from the mean.
The normal distribution is represented graphically by a bell curve. A bell curve of probabilities is more properly known as the normal distribution. The standard deviation is one and the mean is zero in a normal distribution. Its kurtosis is 3, and its skewness is 0. Not all symmetrical distributions are normal, but all normal distributions are symmetrical. The normal distribution can be thought of as a rough approximation of many naturally occurring events. However, most price distributions in finance are not normally distributed.

Answer:
rent
Explanation:
The rent expense will be difficult to revise. Usually, the rent amount is contained in a tenancy agreement signed by both the landlord and the tenant. The rent amount does not change until the lease or tenancy agreement expires. Changing the rent amount would require the landlord's consent.
Due to the above reasons, rent is classified as a fixed cost. It remains constant in the short run.
