What is an interest rate usually shown as?

Edgar, Inc. has a materials price standard of $2.00 per pound. Six thousand pounds of materials were purchased at $2.20 a pound.

butalik [34]

Answer:

materials quantity variance: 1,200 unfavorable

Explanation:

$(standard\:quantity-actual\:quantity) \times standard \: cost = DM \: quantity \: variance$

std quantity 5400.00

actual quantity 6000.00

std cost $2.00

$(5,400 - 6,000) \times 2.00 = DM \: quantity \: variance$

difference -600.00

quantity variance $(1,200.00)

The difference between standard and actual quantity is negative. We used more pounds than expected, the variance will be unfavorable.

600 extra pounds at $2.00 each = 1,200

Carla Vista Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $385,000 (units 5,500), variable cost

Neko [114]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1.

Selling Price = Sales ÷ Units Sold

Current Selling Price = $385,000 ÷ 5500

= $70

Now

Expected Selling Price per unit = $70 + ($70× 10%)

= $77

Now

Expected Sales = 5500 × $77

= $423,500

Now

Net Income = Sales - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost

= $423,500 - $250,000 - $94,000

2.

Sales = $385000

Variable cost = $385,000 × 56% = $215,600

Sales $385,000

Less: variable cost -$215,600

Contribution Margin $169,400

Les: fixed cost -$94,000

Net Income $75,400

As we can see that if there is an increase in Selling Price by 10% so it would produce highest Net Income.

The average-marginal rule states: a. when the marginal magnitude is rising, the average magnitude must also be rising. b. when t

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": when the marginal magnitude is below the average magnitude, the average magnitude falls.

Explanation:

The average-marginal value is an Arithmetic rule implemented in Economics that states that when the marginal value is above the average value, the average value tends to rise, In case the marginal value is below the average value, the average value tends to fall. The average value remains the same when it is equal to the marginal value.

Which of the following is not true about the law of diminishing returns? It is a short run phenomenon. It refers to diminishing

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

All of the above are true.

Explanation:

The law of diminishing returns was first formulated by the classic economist David Ricardo. It presupposes a technical relationship between input and output, which is not scientifically demonstrable but only empirically. In practice, in a generic production system, at any contribution of any factor, that is, land, labor, capital, machines, etc. there is no proportionally increasing production increase.

Normally it is assumed that the law does not always come into operation but only when the variable input exceeds a certain threshold. For example, the increase of workers on an assembly line certainly allows a proportional increase in production, but only until the entire system begins to suffer from malfunctions due to logistics or work organization, precisely because of the its getting bigger. Large industrial plants have shown that they must be divided into sections, however coordinated, precisely because of the decreasing returns. This is because the increase in the number of workers and the mass of the plants does not correspond to a consequent increase in production.
