Answer:$2,125 unfavorable

Explanation:

Given

Standard costs 9,000 hours at $5.50

Actual costs 8,500 hours at $5.75

we have two formulas to calculate for direct labor rate variance is:

1ST ----Direct Labor rate variance = (Actual Rate- Standard Rate ) x Actual hour

=( $5.75 -$5.50) x 8,500 = $2,125 unfavorable

2ND----Direct Labor Rate Variance=Actual Direct Labor Cost Incurred - Standard Direct Labor Cost Based on Actual Hours

=Actual Hours x Actual Rate -Actual Hours x Standard Rate

= ($5.75 x 8,500 hours)-($5.50 x 8,500 hours)

$48,875 - $46,750 = $2,125 unfavorable

when the actual rate is higher than the standard rate, the Direct Labor Rate Variance is unfavorable and if the actual rate is lower than standard rate, the variance is favorable.

Answer: 6.48%

Explanation:

This can be solved using the Quantity theory of money;

MV = PY

When dealing with changes, formula changes to;

% change in Money Supply + %change in velocity = %change in price + %change in real GDP

Velocity has been stable so will be zero.

change in money supply = 3.70% + 2.78%

= 6.48%

Suppose Germany, a large country, imposes a tariff on tuna imports. Before the tariff, all the countries in the world are engage

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1. This is true.

The Germans will pay a higher price for tuna because the tariff will increase the price of imported tuna and the reduction in completion with the local producers will lead to higher prices as the local producers take up their price.

2. This is true.

German producers no longer have to compete as much with imported tuna which was cheaper. They will therefore be able to raise their prices.

3. This statement is false.

The world price of Tuna DOES NOT increase because the tariff is only applicable in Germany. Other parts of the world will trade tuna as before. This is what is assumed.

4. This statement is true.

If Vietnam was exporting tuna to Germany, they will become worse off because they will see a decline in demand for their tuna on account of the tariffs making the tuna more expensive.

5. This is false.

Vietnamese tuna consumers will still pay the same price to get tuna because Vietnam produces the tuna. It is Vietnam's producers that will suffer not the consumers.
