Answer:
the actual total direct labor cost for the current period is $425,285
Explanation:
<u>Reconciling Standard Cost to Actual Cost</u>
Standard Cost $419,000
<em>Add</em> Unfavorable direct labor rate variance $10,475
<em>Less</em> Favorable direct labor efficiency variance ($4,190)
Actual Cost $425,285
Answer:
A share of Citigroup stock represents a claim on Citigroup's assets that gives the purchaser a share of the corporation.
Depending on whether you are an investor or the corporation, a bond is more or less riskier than a stock.
If you are an investor, buying a bond is safer than buying stock since in a worse case scenario where the company goes bankrupt, bond holders are paid before than stockholders. Also bonds provide fixed periodic payments (coupons) and a final payment of the face of the bond at maturity date.
If you are the corporation, issuing bonds is riskier than issuing stock since you have the obligation of making fixed periodic payments to bondholders (coupons) and must pay the face value at maturity date. On the other hand corporations don't have any legal obligation to pay dividends.
Answer:
Explanation:
Data given and notation
represent the sample mean
represent the standard deviation for the sample
sample size
represent the value that we want to test
represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is lower than 5600, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
We don't know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:
(1)
t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".
Calculate the statistic
We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:
The worlds most largest national economy in nominal terms. Is the second largest in purchasing power parity (ppp).
representing 22 percent of nominal global gpd and 17 percent of gross world product (gwd)
Answer:
d. there is a shortage and the interest rate is below the equilibrium level.
Explanation:
If the quantity of loanable funds demanded exceeds the quantity of loanable funds supplied, there is less money available for loans than the required, which characterizes a shortage. Higher interest rates decrease the demand while lower rates increase demand; if demand is higher than supply, the interest rate is lower than the equilibrium rate.
Therefore, there is a shortage and the interest rate is below the equilibrium level.
