Answer:

a. Determine the standard cost per unit for direct materials and direct labor.

standard direct labor rate = $20 x 30/60 minutes = $10 per faucet

standard direct materials rate = $1.80 x 2.5 lbs = $4.50 per faucet

b. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance.

direct materials price variance = (actual price x actual quantity) - (standard price x actual quantity) = ($1.95 x 13,000) - ($1.80 x 12,500) = $25,350 - $22,500 = $2,850 UNFAVORABLE

direct materials quantity variance = (standard price x actual quantity) -(standard price x standard quantity) = ($1.80 x 13,000) - ($1.80 x 12,500) = $23,400 - $22,500 = $900 UNFAVORABLE

total direct materials variance = direct materials price variance + direct materials quantity variance = $2,850 + $900 = $3,750 UNFAVORABLE

Consider two scenarios for a nation's economic growth. Scenario A has real GDP growing at an average annual rate of 3.5 percent;

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

20 years (scenario A) and 16 years (scenario B)

Explanation:

The real GDP will double in "n" number of years, with "n" estimated by interpolation using the formula below.

$current GDP * (1+Growth Rate)^{n} = 2 * current GDP$

In the solutions below, we assumed current GDP to be 1, and as a result, the GDP will double to 2.

Scenario A

$1 * (1+0.35)^{n} =2$

When you substitute 20 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 1.99 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 20 will result in a number less than 2.

Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 3.5%, real GDP will double in about 20 years.

Scenario B

$1 * (1+0.45)^{n} =2$

When you substitute 16 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 2.02 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 16 will result in a number less than 2.

Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 4.5%, real GDP will double in about 16 years.
