Answer:

67%

Test for 2 Independent means

Explanation:

Given that:

Average Female earning per week in sample = $346.98

Average Male earning per week in sample = $517.70

Female earning in percent of male earning :

(Female earning / male earning) × 100%

(346.98 / 517.70) * 100%

0.6702337 * 100%

67.02%

= 67%

Testing whether or not the difference in weekly earning by males and female can be conducted by testing the difference in sample means of both males and females by taking the two different samples as being independent.

Usually :

Null hypothesis : H0 : m1 - m2 = 0

Alternative hypothesis : H1 : m1 - m2 ≠ 0

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

B. 6,000U

Explanation:

The total variable overhead variance shall be calculated using the following formula:

Variable overhead variance=(Actual units produced*Standard hours per unit* Standard rate per hour) - (Actual variable production overhead cost of actual production)

Standard rate per hour=$3

Standard hours per unit=2

Actual units produced=24,000

Actual variable production overhead cost of actual production=$150,000

Variable overhead variance=(24,000*2*3-150,000)

                                              =(144,000-150,000)

                                              =$6,000U

So the answer is B. 6,000U

inn [45]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total Per Unit Sales (37,000 units at $6) $ 222,000  

Variable expenses 111,000 ($3.00)

Contribution margin 111,000 ($ 3.00)

Fixed expenses 41,000

Net operating income $ 70,000

1) sales increase by 12%

Income= contribution margin* 1.12 - fixed expenses= 111,000*1.12 - 41,000= 83,320

2) selling price decreases by $1.30 per unit and the number of units sold increased by 19%.

Income= (37000*1.19)*(4.7-3) - 41,000= 33,851

3)  the selling price increases by $1.30 per unit, fixed expenses increase by $6,000, and the number of units sold decreased by 7%

Income= (37000*0.93)*(7.30-3) - 47000= $100,963

4) the selling price per unit increases by 20%, variable expenses increase by 20 cents per unit, and the number of units sold decreased by 13%

Income= (37000*0.87)*(7.2-3.2) - 41000= $87,760
