Answer:

c. Increase the proportion of executive compensation that comes from stock options and reduce the proportion that is paid as cash salaries.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

6.96%

Explanation:

Find nominal expected return;

Nominal expected return =  [(Dividend + New Price -Old Price) /Old price]*100

= [ (1.74 +50.10 - 47.10) / 47.10 ]*100

= (4.74 / 47.10)* 100

= 0.100637 *100

=10.0637%

Real rate of return = Nominal return - inflation rate

Inflation rate = 3.1%

Real rate of return = 10.0637% - 3.1%

= 6.96%

pentagon [3]

Answer:

$3,135 unfavorable

$9,937.50 unfavorable

Explanation:

The formula and the computation of the direct labor price and efficiency variance is shown below:

Direct labor price variance

= (Standard rate - Actual rate) × Actual hours of production

= ($15- $145,600 ÷ 9,500 hours )  × 9,500 labor hour worked

= ($15 - $15.33) × 9,500 labor hour worked

= $3,135 unfavorable

Labor efficiency variance is

= (Actual production - standard production) × standard rate per unit

= (6,600 units - 9,500 hours ÷ 1.6 hours) × $15

= (6,600 units - 5,937.0) × $15

= $9,937.50 unfavorable

Since the actual hours is  more than the standard one so it would lead to unfavorable variance
