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

Suppose the government decides that every family should own its own home. To bring this about, the government decides to subsidi

Answer:

d. the supply curve of new houses would shift rightward, since builders would be willing to produce and sell more houses at each given price.

Place more oil on the market this year, shifting the curve rightward.

Explanation:

1. In the given scenario the government is willing to give home-construction companies $10,000 for every house that they build.

This will result in more willingness on the part of the construction companies to build more houses.

More houses built means more income coming in from the government.

Therefore the supply curve of home building will shift to the right.

2. When oil producers expect prices of oil to increase in the next year, there is a need to control oil prices by increasing availability of oil in the market.

Increase in price results from a scarcity of oil. So to mitigate this excess oil is supplied to control price increase.

This action will shift the curve rightward.

What is market power?

Sedbober [7]

I would say the correct answer is B. t<span>he ability of a company to change prices and output like a monopolist.

All participants would have equal chances and nobody would dictate the terms to others.</span>
