The standard direct materials cost per bar of chocolate is:
= $0.33.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
A batch of chocolate = 1,827 bars
Standard Costs for a batch:
Ingredient Quantity Price
Cocoa 600 lbs. $0.40 per lb.
Sugar 180 lbs. $0.60 per lb.
Milk 150 gal. $1.70 per gal.
Ingredient Quantity Price Total Cost
Cocoa 600 lbs. $0.40 per lb. $240.00 (600 * $0.40)
Sugar 180 lbs. $0.60 per lb. 108.00 (180 * $0.60)
Milk 150 gal. $1.70 per gal. 255.00 (150 * $1.70)
Total cost of batch of chocolate = $603.00
Cost per bar = $0.33 ($603.00/1,827)
Assume that a change in government policy results in greater production of both consumer goods and investment goods. We can conclude that the economy was not employing all of its resources before the policy change.
Explanation:
Policies by government will affect economic growth
Government policies have a major role to play in encouraging (or deterring) economic growth. Economic policies that lead to economic growth include:
Investing in infrastructure:
Infrastructure, such as highways or bridges, is tangible capital available to all. Governments are increasing their capital stock in the country by investing in infrastructure.
Productivity and labor participation strategies :
Promoting a higher rate of labor participation, for example labor participation tax incentives, will lead to even more economic growth.
Policies promoting accumulation of capital and technological advancement:
Savings-enhancing strategies that lead to higher growth and thus capital investments. Strategies that encourage technological innovation, such as research and development tax credits, often lead to increased economic growth.
Answer:
Annual payment= $3,250.77
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You are thinking of purchasing a home. The house costs $300,000. You have $43,000 in cash that you can use as a down payment on the house, but you need to borrow the rest of the purchase price. The bank is offering a 30-year mortgage that requires annual payments and has an interest rate of 6% per year.
FV= 300,000 - 43,000= $257,000
i=6%
n= 30
Annual payment= ?
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (257,000*0.06)/{[1.06^30]-1}= $3,250.77
