Answer:

Direct labor rate variance= $22,500 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual hours used 45,000

Actual rate per hour $15.00

Standard rate per hour $14.50

<u>To calculate the direct labor cost (rate) variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Direct labor rate variance= (14.5 - 15)*45,000

Direct labor rate variance= $22,500 unfavorable

lora16 [44]

Answer: hello your question has some missing information below is the missing information

Suppose the economy begins with output equal to its natural level. Then there is an increase in consumer confidence and households attempt to consume more for a given level of disposable income.

answer :

Attached below

Explanation:

IS-LM modeling curves intersects and it also defines the value of r and Y where r ( rate of interest )  Y( output level )

The AS-AD modeling is in equilibrium where aggregate demand curve and short run and long run aggregate supply curves intersects each other defining P and Y

p ( price level ) , Y ( output level )

<em>Note : Increase in aggregate demand shifts IS outward , raises interest rate and output level</em>

You can buy a car that is advertised for $24,600 on the following terms: (a) pay $24,600 and receive a $4,600 rebate from the ma
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

A. $20,000

B. $17,234.18

C.Option (b)

Explanation:

Obviously, the option with lower Present Value would be the best option to buy the car. The Present Value of the options can find out as following

REQUIREMENT A

Price of car = $24,600  

Rebate = $4,600

Present value of the payments for option  = Price of the car – rebate  

Present value of the payments for option (a) = $24,600 - $4,600

Present value of the payments for option = $20,000

REQUIREMENT B

We can use the following Present Value of an Annuity formula to calculate the present value of the payments

PV of the payments for option  = PMT * [1-(1+i) ^-n)]/i

PV of the payments for option (b) (PV) =?

Monthly payment PMT =$410 per month

Number of payments n = 5 years *12 months = 60

Monthly interest rate i=1.25% per month or 0.0125

PV of the payments for option  = $410 x [1- (1+0.0125) ^-60]/0.0125

PV of the payments for option  = $17,234.18

REQUIREMENT C.

Which is the better deal?

Option (b) is better deal as the present value of payments ($17,234.18) is less than Present value of the payments for option (a); $20,000.

Barbara made a contract to sell a house to Bolton. The agreement stated that it was contingent upon the buyer being able to secu
Levart [38]

Answer and Explanation:

A due on sale clause is simply a stipulation in the mortagage agreement that the

"borrower if he wants to sell the property to some other person, first of all he (borrower) shall repay the entire outstanding mortagage amount and then only it is possible to sell the property which is secured under Mortagage agreement.

Hence in essence, the borrower must repay before selling it to some other person which will result in paying the sale proceeds of house to the lender first and the Borrower again has to take loan sometimes from the same lender.

Hence it is imperative that the mortagage obligation cannot be transferred to any other person. That is any subsequent buyer cannot ASSUME the mortagage. Therefore due on sale

Clause prevents assuming of mortagages.

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Charlotte has the priority to claim Autumn as her dependent even though William covered 70% of her living expenses during the year. In order for a parent to be able to claim a child as a dependent, he/she must live with the child for more than half the year. In this case, since William left the house, Charlotte has preference over claiming Autumn as her dependent (even though William lived with Autumn for 10 months). Also, a parent always has priority over other relatives including a grandparent.
