Answer:
a. $2,020 Favorable
Explanation:
The computation of spending variance for direct materials in April is shown below:-
For computing the spending variance for direct materials in April first we need to find out the actual price per unit which is here below:-
Actual price per unit = Actual direct material ÷ Actual units purchased
= $49,086 ÷ $5,060
= $9.70
Spending variance for direct materials in April = (Actual price per unit - Standard price per unit) × Actual quantity
= ($9.70 - $10.10) × 5,060
= -$0.4 × 5,060
= $2,024 Favorable
which is closest to $2,020 Favorable.
The correct answer is A.
GDP consists of all FINAL goods and services, and the only way it can be measured is through market prices.
answer:
competition, goodwill with trade partners, and importation of goods
Answer:
At least during the last couple of decades, service firms tend to generate sustained growth while manufacturing firms do not.
Explanation:
The last president that recorded a steady manufacturing growth rate was Bill Clinton.
Service firms are growing steadily and probably will continue to do it. While manufacturing firms have been slowing down, their growth rate (if any) is not very large during the past few years and that tendency has increased with the new trade barriers imposed by our government during the last couple of years.
Another thing that helps the growth of service firms is that when manufacturing firms or agricultural firms grow, they need more services, so service firms will grow even more.
To choose the two best, we have a target of two candidates, A & B
The first one chosen is either A or B, with a propability of 2/5.
The second one is the only interested candidate out of 4, so 1/4.
So probability of choosing the best two is 2/5*1/4=1/10.
Alternatively, use the combination formula,
P(AB in any order) = 5!/(2!3!)=120/(2*6)=1/10
or in general,
n choose r = nCr = n!/(r!(n-r)!)
