<u>Explanation:</u>
1. Calculation of labor spending variance for the month of march
Labor spending variance = (Actual rate x actual hours)- (Standard rate x Standard hours)
=(13 x 63000) - (12 x (26000 x 3))
=-1,38,600
Labor spending variance for the month of March is $138600
2.Calculation of variable manufacturing overhead planning cost
Variable manufacturing overhead planning cost= (Planning budget units x required hours x cost per hour)
=(21000 x 3 x7)
=441,000
Variable manufacturing overhead planning cost is $441,000
3. Calculation of Variable manufacturing overhead cost
Variable manufacturing overhead cost= (Actual units x required hours x cost per hour)
=(26600 x 3 x7)
=$558,600
Variable manufacturing overhead cost is $558,600
4. Calculation of Variable overhead rate variance
Variable overhead rate variance= Actual hours ( actual rate - standard rate)
=63000((510930/63000)-8)
=63000(8.11-8)
=63000(0.11)
=6930
Variable overhead rate variance is =6930
Answer:
The correct answer is option b.
Explanation:
Stock A has a beta of 1.2 and a standard deviation of 20%.
Stock B has a beta of 0.8 and a standard deviation of 25%.
Portfolio investment is $200,000.
Investment in stock A is $100,000.
Investment in stock B is $100,000.
The portfolio beta is
=
=
=0.6+0.4
=1
So, the portfolio beta for P is 1.
Answer:
increase
decrease
frictional unemployment
a, b
Explanation:
Frictional unemployment . the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
As a result of the increase in price of cotton, the profit of making cotton would increase. So the production of cotton would increase and more labour would be needed
the cost of production for cotton producing firms would increase and this would discourage production. The demand for labour would increase
the government can reduce frictional unemployment by having policies that reduce the job search period and would incentivise labour to get employed quickly
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question is $36,000.
Explanation:
Given information -
Units anticipated to be produced - 300,000 units
Variable cost - $150,000
Fixed cost - $600,000
Beginning inventory - 5000 units
Ending inventory - 7000 units
Income under absorption costing - $40,000
Now under the absorption costing, rate of fixed overhead cost per unit -
Fixed cost / Number of units produced
= $600,000 / 300,000
= $2
In April ( under absorption costing ), the amount of fixed manufacturing overhead cost that was still embedded in ending inventory but were not expense -
Fixed overhead rate per unit x number of units produced but not sold
= $2 x 2000 ( 7000 units - 5000 units )
= $4000
So when we calculate the operating cost under variable costing this fixed overhead cost wold be subtracted from total income -
$40,000 - $4000
= $36,000 .
