Answer:

Supply decreases

Explanation:

Equilibrium is a balanced scenario where demand matches supply. At equilibrium, both sellers and buyers are happy with the current price. The market has no excess demand or supply or demand.

A decrease in supply while demand stays constant results in many customers competing for the few products in the market. There will be scarcity because the supply cannot satisfy demand. The supply curve shifts outwards or to the right resulting in a new and higher equilibrium point. The price will increase while the quantity supplied declines.

The budget for the month of May was for 11,200 units at a direct materials cost of $19 per unit. Direct labor was budgeted at 28

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Direct labor price(rate) variance = $1,675 (unfavorable)

Direct labor efficiency variance = 0

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Number of units = 11,200

cost = $19 per unit

Labor budgeted = at 28 minutes per unit

Total budget = $100,800

Actual output = 8,900 units

Direct material expense = $137,500

Direct labor expense = $81,775

As per the following formula,

Direct labor price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) × Actual hour

= ($81,775 ÷ 8900 × 2 - $100,800 ÷ 11,200 × 2) × 8,900 ÷ 2

= $1,675 (unfavorable)

Direct labor efficiency variance = (Actual hour - Standard hour) × Standard price

= (8,900 × 28 ÷ 60 - 8,900 × 28 ÷ 60 ) × $100,800 ÷ 11,200 × 2

= 0

Assume US GAAP to answer this question. In 2017, $2 million in wages were earned and no cash wages were paid. In 2018, $8 millio

kari74 [83]

Answer: a. Liabilities increased by $1.0 million in 2018

Explanation:

In 2018, $9 million was used to settle the wage debt of 2017 and the remainder was used to settle the wages in 2018.

The money remaining in cash after the wage settlement was:

= 9,000,000 - 2,000,000 - 8,000,000

= -$1,000,000

This means that $1,000,000 of wages was not settled in 2018 which means that this would have to go to the Wages Payable account to signify that the company owes wages.

This account is a liability account so liabilities in 2018 would increase by $1,000,000.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

How much must Icon allow Emily to diversify this year?

The answer is $250,000

Explanation:

After attaining the age of 55 years and participating already for ten years in the ESOP.
Emily will be allowed to diversify the value equal to 25% of investments.
50% of the investment is allowed to be diversified if it is final year of participation but in the present case it is not the final year before the retirement of the Emily so she will not be allowed 50% diversification and only up to 25% is allowed on which the percentage of investment already diversified in previous years will also be reduced.
Since here in the past no amount has been diversified by Emily so she will be allowed 25 % of investment to diversify in the current year which comes to $250,000 ($1,000,000* 25%). Thus the answer is $250,000.
