Answer: D. It increases consumers’ incomes and encourages consumers to buy the good

Explanation:

A subsidy is an amount of money that is given by the government to producers or farmers so as to increase the production of a particular good and also to reduce the price of the good.

Subsidies affect consumers as it increases consumers’ incomes and encourages consumers to buy the good. This is because the subsidized goods will be sold at a cheaper price which means that the income of the consumer is increased and also encourages more purchases of the good.

If income increases by $100 and consumption increases by $75, the slope of the consumption function equals _____.

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

3/4

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume mpc, is the slope of the consumption function and it is what this question requires us to find

We have income increase to be = 100 dollars

Then consumption increase = 75 dollars

MPC = increase in consumption ,75/increase in income 100

= 75/100

= 3/4

Therefore the marginal propensity to consume also called the slope is 3/4

Erie Company manufactures a mobile fitness device called the Jogging Mate. The company uses standards to control its costs. The

Tom [10]

a. Standard labor-hours is 7920 hours.

b. Standard labor cost allowed is $42,768.

c. The labor spending variance is $1588(U).

d. The labor rate variance is $1706 and the labor efficiency variance $3294(U).

e. The variable overhead rate is $5971(U) and efficiency variances for the month $5580(U).

<u>Explanation:</u>

a)Standars hours(SH) allowed to make 19800 jogging mates

=SH per unit $\times$ 19800

=(24/60)*19800

=7920 hours

24/60 has been taken to convert minutes into hours.

b)Standard Labor Cost (SC) of 19800 jogging mates

$=19800 \times SC per unit=19800 \times $2.16\\=$42,768$

=$42,768

c)Labour Spending Variance

$=Standard Cost - Actual Cost(AC)=$42,768 - $44,356=$1588(U)$

=$1588(U)

d)Labor Rate Variance

$=(SR per hour-AR per hour)\timesAH=(5.4-5.2)*8530=$1706(F)$

=$1706

Actual Hours(AH) * Actual Rate per hour(AR)= Actual Cost(AC)

$8530 \times AR = $44,356$

$AR = \frac{44356}{8530}\\ \\AR = 5.2$

Labor Efficiency Variance

$=(SH-AH) \times SR\\=(7920-8530)*$5.4=$3294(U)$

=$3294(U)

e) Variable overhead rate variance = Actual hours worked (Standard overhead rate - Actual overhead rate)

= 8530 (4.5 - 5.20)

= $5971(U)

Actual overhead rate = $44,356 / 8530 = 5.20

Variable overhead efficiency variance = Standard overhead rate (Standard hours - Actual hours)

= 4.50 (7290 - 8530)

= $5580(U).
