A manufactured product has the following information for June. Standard Actual Direct materials (7 lbs. @ $9 per lb.) 60,000 lbs
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

price variance       12,000 U

quantity variance  4,500 U

Explanation:

(standard\:cost-actual\:cost) \times actual \: quantity= DM \: price \: variance

std cost  $9.00

actual cost  $9.20

quantity 60,000

These are givens so no calculation needed.

(9-9.20) \times 60,000= DM \: price \: variance

difference  $(0.20)

price variance  $(12,000.00)

The difference is negative, we purchase at a higher price, so the variance is unfavorable

(standard\:quantity-actual\:quantity) \times standard \: cost = DM \: quantity \: variance

std quantity        59500.00 (7 lbs per unit x 8,500 untis manufactured)

actual quantity 60000.00

std cost                         $9.00

(59,500-60,000) \times 9 = DM \: quantity \: variance

difference                       -500.00

efficiency variance  $(4,500.00)

The difference betwene standard lbs and the actual lbs used into production is negative, we use more lbs than standard. This variance is also unfavorable.

What would economic conditions potentially be like in the u.s if the federal reserve did not regulate monetary policy, monitor b
kenny6666 [7]

If the Federal Reserve did not regulate monetary policy, monitor banks, and provide services for banks, then the transactions would be more costly and interest rates will be more.

They monitor banks so that there will be no more increases in the costs of transactions than the cost agreed by the Fed. Also it will also reduce the possibility of increase in interest rates as the monetary policy is also implemented by the Fed.

For the first time in two years, Big G (the cereal division of General Mills) raised cereal prices by 4 percent. If, as a result
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

the coefficient of elasticity is 0.5. Thus, demand is inelastic.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Price elasticity = 2/4 = 0.5

Because demand is less than1, big g has an inelastic demand.
