Lunchco Inc. produces picnic tables in a two-step process. Pretreated wood is cut in the Cutting Department and then the lumber
babunello [35]

Answer: company’s direct labor budget = $320000

Explanation:

Given that,

Standard hourly labor rate in the Cutting Department = $12

It takes 30 minutes of direct labor time to cut the lumber

Tables take one hour to assemble

Standard hourly rate in the Assembly Department = $10

Lunchco’s production budget = 20,000

Cutting Department =  production budget × direct labor time × Standard hourly labor rate

= 20000 × 0.5 hours/unit × $12/unit

= $120000

Assembly Department = production budget × Tables take one hour to assemble  × Standard hourly labor rate

= 20000 × 1 hour/unit × $10/unit

= $200000

Therefore,

company’s direct labor budget = Assembly Department + Cutting Department

= 200000 + 120000

= $320000

Quantity         Price per pound             Total

10,200                 $6                             $61,200

20% of upcoming month's sale.

If in June at month end, the inventory in hand = 2,040 pounds of raw material.

This basically means:

Total inventory required =

If the interest rate rises in the United States relative to other​ nations, then in the foreign exchange market the demand for d
34kurt

Answer:

B. ​increases; decreases

Explanation:

Foreign exchange market can be defined as type of market in which the currency of one country is converted into that of another country.

For example, the conversion of dollars of the United States of America can be converted into naira (Nigeria) at the foreign exchange market.

Efficient market school is the market school which argues that forward exchange rates do the best possible job for forecasting future spot exchange rates, so investing in exchange rate forecasting services would be a waste of time because it is impossible to have a consistent alpha generation on a risk adjusted excess returns basis as market prices are only affected by new informations.

The efficient market school also known as the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) is a hypothesis that states that asset (share) prices reflect all information and it is very much impossible to consistently beat the market.

Also, forward exchange rates are exchange rates controlling foreign exchange transactions at a specific future date or time.

An interest rate can be defined as an amount of money that is charged as a percentage of the total amount borrowed from an individual or a financial institution.

Generally, if the interest rate rises in the United States relative to other​ nations, then in the foreign exchange market the demand for dollars​ increases and the supply of dollars​ decreases because of the high value of the dollar compared to the other currency.
