Answer:
the fixed dollar-pound exchange rate is consistently below the equilibrium exchange rate that would be produced by a private foreign exchange market.
Explanation:
Fixing an exchange rate means that the government is trying to intervene in valuation of its currency. It is fixing it's currencie's rate to another and using reserves to handle fluctuations in market price.
When the fixed rate is below equillibrum there is surplus of the countrie's currency at the fixed rate. The government will buy this surplus (if not the value will fall) by selling their foreign currency reserves. This is done to maintain the fixed exchange rate.
Reduced reserves of pounds noticed by the Central bank is as a result of fixed price below equilibrium.

Answer:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= 16,497 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard labor-hours per unit of output 10.3 hours
Standard labor rate $14.10 per hour
Actual hours worked 8,100 hours
Actual output 900 units
<u>To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Standard quantity= 10.3*900= 9,270
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (9,270 - 8,100)*14.1
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= 16,497 favorable
Answer:
WIP assembly 56,000 debit
WIP Finishing 40,000 debit
Factory Overhead 96,000 credit
Explanation:
<u>Assembly</u>
DM 24000
DL 35000
FO 35,000 x 160% = 56,000
<u>Finishing</u>
26000
25000
FO 25,000 x 160% = 40,000
