Answer: 5.725%; 5.55%

Explanation:

The arithmetic average or mean is the sum of a collection of numbers that is divided by the count of the numbers in the collection.

Arithmetic average = Total return ÷ total time period

=(5.1+12.2-3.8+9.4) ÷ 4

= 22.9 ÷ 4

= 5.725%

Geometric average will be:

=[(1+rate1)(1+rate2)(1+rate3)(1+rate4)]^(1/4) - 1

=[(1+0.051)(1+0.122)(1-0.038)(1+0.094)]^(1/4)-1

=5.55%

Webster Corporation is preparing a master budget for the first quarter. The company budgets production of 2,960 units in January
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

$59,410

Explanation:

With regards to the above information, we need to calculate first, total number of units for first quarter of the year.

Total number of units for first quarter of the year = 2,960 + 2,740 + 3,440

= 9,140

But, each unit requires 0.5 hours of direct labor.

It therefore means that;

1 unit need ----- 0.5 hours of direct labor

9,140 ----- ?

= (9,140 × 0.5) / 1

= 4,570 hours.

Finally, we will multiply the total hours by the payment per hour, or direct labor rate; which is $13 per hour.

= 4,570 × $13

= $59,410

Therefore, the budgeted direct labor cost for the first quarter of the year is $59,410

Debora [2.8K]
The baby boomers could change the fashion industry as they transition to senior citizens because they could motivate designers to create products that meet their needs. For example, they might motivate shoe designers to design shoes that are similar to those worn by the younger generation but perhaps with more comfort and lower heels. Therefore, they will maintain their sense of fashion, but in a rather different manner.
