Answer:
1) Household consumption, which accounts for about <u>68%*</u> of the economy, grew at a 4.2% annualized rate during the second quarter of 2016.
*Data obtained from federal government sources.
2) Since household/consumer spending (consumption) represents almost 70% of the nation's GDP, any change will cause a major change in the total GDP. E.g. if consumption increases by 5%, then the whole economy will grow by 5% x 68% = 3.4%.
Answer:
- <u>std rate $30.64</u>
- <u>efficiency variance $6,128.00</u>
Explanation:
We will work the rate variance to obtain the standard rate:
actual rate $29.20
actual hours 11,700
difference $1.44
rate variance $16,800.00
<u>std rate $30.64</u>
<u></u>
<u>Now we can solve for the labor efficiency variance:</u>
std hours 11700
actual hours 11500
std rate $30.64
difference 200
<u>efficiency variance $6,128.00</u>
The diference is positive, sothe variance is favorable.
Answer:
Downward sloping; horizontal line; demand; large number of competitors
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure where there is only a single firm in the market. This firm is a price maker. It can charge whatever price it wants, but the consumers will demand more at a lower price.
That is why the demand curve of a monopoly is downward sloping and the same as the market demand curve.
A perfectly competitive market refers to the market structure where there is a large number of buyers and sellers. These firms are price takers. They face a horizontal line demand curve. This is because of a large number of competitors producing homogenous products. So if a firm raises its prices the consumers will move to the firm at a lower price.
The market demand curve though is downward sloping.
Answer:
(A) estimated annual costs and expected annual activity
Explanation:
The formula to compute the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours or estimated machine hours)
It is always calculated on the estimated amount and estimated annual activity i.e direct labor hours or machine hours
So the correct option is a.
