Answer & Explanation:

Modiglani's Life cycle Hypothesis depicts spending & consumption pattern of people, in order to stabilise / or smoothen their consumprtion. The theory has following phases :

  • Early (Non Working) Age, Low Income stage : Borrowings are done, to cover up for lack of income that yields desirable stable consumption level.
  • Youth, Earning (Working) Age : Savings are done, through surplus of income level over desirable stable consumption level.
  • Old, Post retirement (Non working age) : Dissavings are done, funds from previous savings are used to cover for lack of income that yields desirable stable consumption level.

Implication rate for entire economy saving rate : It implies that economy's savings rate is high, if more population comprises of middle aged working population.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

NPW of X is

= -$20,000 - $9,000 × (P/A,12%,5) + $5,000 × (P/F,12%,5)

= -$20,000 - $9,000 × 3.604776 + $5,000 × 0.567427

= -$49,605.85

And,  

NPW of Y is

= -$35,000 - $4,000 × (P/A,12%,5) + $7,000 × (P/F,12%,5)

= -$35,000 - $4,000 × 3.604776 + $7,000 × 0.567427

= -$45,447.11

Based on the above calculations as we can see that net present cost of Y is lower than the net present cost of X so Y should be selected

Georgia [21]

Answer:

2nd option is correct.

Explanation:

Variable over head       =     (Actual  Qty.  - Standard Qty. ) * Standard cost

Efficiency variance

                                      = (10125-9000) * 30

                                      =  $ 33750 (Un-Favorable)

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

the variable cost ratio is 60 % (option d)

Explanation:

The variable cost ratio (VCR) represents the ratio of variable costs to sales. Therefore

VCR = (total variable costs)/(total sales)

since

total variable costs = variable costs * services provided = $21/hour * 12000 hours/year = $252000 /year

total sales = price of service * services provided = $35/hour * 12000 hours/year = $420000 /year

thus

VCR = ($252000 /year) / ($420000 /year) = 0.6 = 60 %
