Answer:

a. u = e^(0.25√0.25)

u = e^0.125

u = 1.13314845307

u = 1.1331485

The percentage up movement is 13.31%

b. d = 1/u

d = 1/ 1.1331

d = 0.88253464

d = 0.8825

The percentage downward movement = 1 - 0.8825 = 11.75%

c. Probability of upward movement(P) = (R - d) / ( u-d)

P = (1.04 - .8825) / ( 1.1331 - 0.8825)

P = 0.6285

P = 62.85%

d. Probability of a down movement in a risk-neutral world = 1 - P

= 1 - 0.6285

= 0.3715

= 37.15%

Answer:

<u>Date                                      Purchases                    Sales        </u>

May 1                                1,550 units at $44

May 10                                720 units at $45

May 12                                                                    1,200 units

COGS                                                                  (720 x $45 = $32,400)

COGS                                                                  (480 x $44 = $21,120)

TOTAL COGS FOR MAY 12 SALE                       = $53,520

Inventory after sale        1,070 units at $44

May 20                             1,200 units at $48

May 14                                                                      830 units

COGS                                                                  (830 x $48 = $39,840)

TOTAL COGS FOR MAY 14 SALE                       = $39,840

Inventory after sale         1,070 units at $44

                                          370 units at $48

May 31                                                                    1,000 units

COGS                                                                  (370 x $48 = $17,760)

COGS                                                                  (630 x $44 = $27,720)

TOTAL COGS FOR MAY 12 SALE                       = $45,480

Inventory after sale        440 units at $44

Under LIFO (last in, first out), the cost of goods sold is determined using the price of the last units purchased, which means that the most recent (or updated) price is used to calculate COGS.

E11-22A (similar to) Question Help The Garver Restaurant Group manufactures the bags of frozen French fries used at its franchis
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Please see answer below

Explanation:

This is an incomplete question. However, other parts of the question have been added as extracted .

1. Determine the direct material price and quantity variances

Direct material price variance

= (Actual price - Standard price) × Purchase quantity

= ($0.85 - $1) × 103,000

= $15,450 Favorable

Direct material quantity variance

= (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) × Standard price

= (103,000 - 101,000) × $1

= $2,000 Unfavorable

2. Think of a plausible explanation for the variances found in requirement 1.

°For direct material price variance, the possible reasons for the variance are shortage of raw materials, discount application etc. However, variance was favorable because the direct material was purchased for lesser amount compared to the standard price.

°For direct material quantity variance, possible causes of variance are low quality of raw materials, incorrect specification of raw materials, damage during production processes. However, the variance was unfavorable because

the actual quantity used is more than the standard quantity that ought to have been used.

3. Determine the direct labor rate and efficiency variance

Direct labour rate variance

= (Actual rate - Standard rate) × Actual hours worked

= ($12.35 - $12.05) × 1,700

= $510 Unfavorable

Direct labor efficiency variance

= (Actual hours worked - Standard hours worked) × Standard rate

= (1,700 - 1,400) × $12.05

= $3,615 Unfavorable

4. Could the explanation for the labor variances be tied to material variances.

No. The total labor variance could be as a result of money paid to laborers which be could be lower or higher than the standard rate and using either less or more direct labor hours than expected.

When the economy is operating at an output rate less than full-employment capacity
jeka94

Answer:

The options for this question are the following:

a. current rate of output will tend to persist into the future.

b. strong demand for resources will cause resource prices to rise.

c. actual unemployment rate will be less than the natural rate of unemployment.

d. actual level of unemployment will exceed the natural rate of unemployment.

The correct answer is D. actual level of unemployment will exceed the natural rate of unemployment.

Explanation:

The natural unemployment rate is one that represents a level of unemployment that cannot be reduced and is part of what is considered normal in an economy. This level usually ranges between 2% and 5% and is part of the frictional unemployment of the population.

The natural unemployment rate exists, in part, because some workers quit their job, ceasing to receive income for a time, considering different reasons. These may be, for example, the aspiration for a better professional opportunity or the distance to the workplace.

That is, even when there is full employment, certain people may decide to lose their jobs. This is what is known as frictional unemployment, since individuals need time to find the right job.

It is normal for workers to move between companies because the labor market is flexible. For example, let's imagine that an engineer works for a company X, but another company Y offers better economic conditions. However, there may be a time interval, suppose a month, between the worker's departure from one firm and his entry to another. This, because perhaps a series of interviews should happen.

On the other hand, there are sectors with more mobility than others. For example, the financial or IT and communications sector has great mobility in developed economies.
