blondinia [14]

Answer: $3,875 Favorable

Explanation: We can compute direct labor efficiency variance by using following formula :-

Direct labor efficiency variance = standard rate ( actual hours - standard hours)

where,

standard hours = 5,500units * 0.5 hour = 2750 hours

actual hours = 3,000 hours

standard rate = $15.5

putting the values into equation we get :-

Direct labor efficiency variance =  $15.5  ( 3,000 - 2750)

                                                    = $3,875 Favorable

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

For Dan, the demand is price inelastic

Explanation:

One of the factors tat affect the quantity demand for a product is the price of the product. According to the law of demand, at lower price more quantity of a product would be purchased than at a higer price, all other this being being equal.

Price elasticity of Demand (PED)

The extent to which a change in price will cause a change in the quantity demand for a product is called the price elasticity of demand. It measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demand to a change in price.

It is calculated as

PED =% change in quantity demand / % change in price.

For Dan Newspaper , the price elasticity of demand

             = 4%/8%

            = 0.5

If the PED is greater than 1, the demand is price elastic

If the PED is less than 1 , demand is price inelastic

For Dan, the demand is price inelastic

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

$2,300,000

Explanation:

The formula to compute the operating cash flow is shown below:

= EBIT + Depreciation - Income tax expense

where,  

EBIT = Sales - operating expenses - depreciation expense  

= $7,000,000 - $4,000,000 - $1,000,000

= $2,000,000

And, the income tax expense is

= $2,000,000 × 0.35

= $700,000

So, the value would equal to

= $2,000,000 + $1,000,000 - $700,000

= $2,300,000

We simply applied the above formula
