Answer:

The correct answer is:

$6,998.64 favorable (b)

Explanation:

The direct labor rate/price variance is the difference between the standard cost of production and the actual cost incurred in the production process. If the actual rate of labor is less than the standard labor rate, it is said to be favorable, because lesser time is used in the production process than estimated. The reverse is the case for unfavorable direct labor rate variance.

The formula is given as:

Direct Labor Rate Variance = (SR - AR) × AH

Where

SR = standard rate = $12.88 per hour

AR = actual rate = $12.00 per hour

AH = actual direct labor hours = 7,953 hours

∴ Direct labor rate variance = (12.88 - 12.00) × 7,953 = $6,998.64 favorable

You own a portfolio that has $1,720 invested in Stock A and $3,470 invested in Stock B. The expected returns on these stocks are

Blababa [14]

The expected return is 9.8% on the portf

<h3>What is the Expected return?</h3>

The expected return is the amount of profit or loss an investor can anticipate receiving on an investment.

Calculation of expected return of Portfolio:

Stock A = $1,720 Expected return on Stock A is 13.7% =1,720 x 13.7% =$235.64

Stock B = $3,470 Expected return on Stock B is 8% = 3,470 x 8% =$277.6

Expected portfolio return = returns on each stock divided by incesting value.

Total return of each stock = $235.64 + $277.6 = $513.2

Total Invested value = $1,720 + $3,470 = $5,190

Expected portfolio return = $513.2 divide by $5,190 =9.8%

Thus, the expected return on the portfolio is 9.8%.

Vault-Tec. has annual fixed costs excluding depreciation of $1,000,000 and variable costs that are 75% of sales. If depreciation

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Vault-Tec's break-even level of sales ==$3,000,000

Explanation:

Break-even point is the level of activity at which a firm must operate such that its total revenue will equal its total costs. At this point, the company makes no profit or loss.

It is calculated using this formula:

Break-even point (sales) = Fixed cost/c/s ratio.

c/s means contribution to sales ratio

C/s ratio = (sales - variable cost)/sales

C/S is the proportion of sales value that is earned as contribution. its is sales less variable costs.

So if for an instance, variable costs are 60% of sales, then contribution will be 40% of sales i.e (100-60)% .

Now we can apply these concepts to our questions:

c/s =( 100-75)% = 25%

Break-even point( sales) = (1,000,000- 250,000)/25%

= 750,000/0.25

=$3,000,000

Note that depreciation is excluded from the fixed costs because it is a non-cash flow item.

Vault-Tec's break-even level of sales ==$3,000,000
