Answer:

Part a.

October Labor Rate Variance   (2600) unfavorable

October Labor Efficiency Variance   6440 favorable

<u><em>Labor Cost Variance  For October  </em></u>3840 favorable

November Labor Rate Variance  (4250) unfavorable

November Labor Efficiency Variance (45080) unfavorable

<u><em>Labor Cost Variance  For November </em></u>49330 unfavorable

Part b.

Direct labor Efficiency variance for November will be investigated further as it varies more than 5 % 0f actual direct labor cost.

Explanation:

<u><em>Direct Labor Rate Variance For October </em></u>

                                           Time *        Rate    =        Amount

Actual Hours Worked       13000 *      16.3 actual              = 211900

<u>Actual Hours Worked      13000 * 16.10 standard         =  209300      </u>

<em><u>Labor Rate Variance                         0.2                           (2600) unfavorable </u></em>

<u />

When actual rate is greater than the standard rate the variance is unfavorable.

<u><em>Direct Labor Rate Variance For November </em></u>

                                           Time *        Rate    =        Amount

Actual Hours Worked       17000 *      16.35 actual              = 277950

<u>Actual Hours Worked      17000 * 16.10 standard         =  273700      </u>

<u>Labor Rate Variance                         0.25                           (4250) unfavorable </u>

<u />

When actual rate is greater than the standard rate the variance is unfavorable.

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Direct Labor Efficiency Variance for October</em></u>

                                           Time *        Rate    =        Amount

Actual Hours Worked       13000 *      16.1 standard             = 209300

Standard Hours Allowed      13400 * 16.10 standard         =  215740  

<u>                                             ( 2* 6700)                                                        </u>

<u>Labor Efficiency Variance              400                               6440 favorable </u>

<u />

When actual hours are less than the standard hours allowed the variance is favorable.

<em><u>Direct Labor Efficiency Variance for November</u></em>

                                           Time *        Rate    =        Amount

Actual Hours Worked       17000 *      16.1 standard             = 273700

Standard Hours Allowed      14200 * 16.10 standard         =  228620

<u>                                             ( 2* 7100)                                                        </u>

<u>Labor Efficiency Variance            2800                           (45080) unfavorable </u>

<u />

When actual hours are more than the standard hours allowed the variance is unfavorable.

<u><em>Labor Cost Variance  For October</em></u>

<u><em>Standard hours * standard rate- Actual hours * actual rate</em></u>

13400 * 16.10-  13000 *      16.3

= 215740  -211900

=3840 favorable

<u><em>Labor Cost Variance  For November</em></u>

<u><em>Standard hours * standard rate- Actual hours * actual rate</em></u>

14200 * 16.1 -  17000 * 16.35

= 228620  - 277950

=49330 unfavorable

Direct labor Efficiency variance for November will be investigated further as it varies more than 5 % 0f actual direct labor cost.

45080> 5% of 277950

5% of 277950 = 13897.5

13897.5 > 45080

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

E:  a debt of $10.7 trillion and a deficit of zero.

Explanation:

Deficits are usually financed by debt. Here the government has incurred an extra debt of $700 billion. The previous debt of $10 trillion may have been due to any reason and not necessarily deficit. However, the passage does not state if the extra debt is due to deficit or not. So it is safe to select option E.

Hence, the government has incurred a total debt of $10.7 trillion and a deficit of zero.

Ivanshal [37]

Suppose the local slaughterhouse gives off an unpleasant stench. the price of meat would then be too low because not all of the costs are accounted for in the marketplace.

When the price of an item increases, buyers tend to purchase less of that item due to both the substitution effect and the income effect. When the pizza was on sale at the student council he was selling for $2, Mo didn't buy any. When the price dropped to $1.75 he bought one for Moe's daily lunch.

An increase in demand and a decrease in supply raises the slaughterhouse price, but the effect on the equilibrium quantity cannot be determined. 1. For each quantity, consumers should place a higher value on the goods and producers should set a higher price to supply the goods. Therefore, the price is higher.
