Answer: $721 Unfavorable

Explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

Actual hours = 3690 hours

Standard hours = 3620 hours

Standard rate per hour = ($14000 + $27200) / 4000

= $41200 / 4000

= $10.30 per hour

Therefore, the overall variable overhead efficiency variance for the month is calculated as:

= (Actual Hours - Standard Hours) × Standard rate per hour

= (3690 - 3620) × $10.30

= 70 × $10.30

= $721 Unfavorable

algol [13]

The Discount rate reflects the opportunity costs of spending funds now versus achieving a return through another investment, as well as the risks associated with not receiving returns until a later time.

Explanation:

The discount rate relates to the interest rates on loans that the Federal Reserve Bank borrows from central banks and financial institutions through the commercial bank loan mechanism.

The rate of barriers, financial assets and discount rates are all equal. The next best potential investment option with a comparable risk profile wins the rate of returns. The word ' opportunity expense' is a clear and generic concept that can be used any day of the day.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

7.36%

Explanation:

Nper = (10-2)*2 = 16

Pmt = 1000*8.7%/2 = 43.5

Pv = -108%*1000 = -1080

Fv = 1000

YTM = Rate(Nper, pmt, -Pv, Fv)*2

YTM = Rate(16, 43.5, -1080, 1000)*2

YTM = 0.036795696 * 2

YTM = 0.073591392

YTM = 7.3591392%

YTM = 7.36%

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The property will be transferred according to the Statute of Descent and Distribution.

Explanation:

Intestacy is the situation where a person dies without leaving a will for the sharing of his estate.

When this happens the descent and distribution statute comes into play.

The heirs or next of kin are beneficiaries to the estate. Heirs can be be blood relatives, adopted children, adopted parent, or surviving spouse.

The line of descent is the order of beneficiaries that are from an ancestor. The line of descent can be direct such as sons, or collateral such as cousins.

In this case where Olive Maccones dies without a will and she has three sons and seven grandchildren, her estate will be distributed by a court based on the line of descent of her sons and grandchildren.

What are the criticisms of fiscal policy
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Fiscal policy is the adjustment of tax rate and government spending that is used to handle current economic situation.

There are several of criticism that usually found on fiscal policies.

- Time Lags.

The effect of fiscal policies could only be felt years after the policies are made. Often times, this goes unnoticed by the citizens of the country, making it look like that the government took no action to handle their economic issues.

- Strengthening foreign influence

One of the things that the government can do to reduce the inflation is by selling government bonds to the public. These bonds can be bought by companies from another countries. This will strengthen that country's influence over US economy.

- It could create a budget deficit for the next government officials.

Government in United States were reshuffled between 2-4 years. While the effect of fiscal policies could need more than 10 years before it actually can be felt.  Sometimes, fiscal policies taken by previous government could create a deficit that had to be handled by the next government after the election.
