I think policymakers would link social security payments to inflation to help the recipients with the increased cost of living due to inflation of prices also. I don't think small increases due to a low rate of inflation is a downside because the low rate of inflation means goods and services will not increase much in price so will still be relatively affordable.
Answer: B) economic responsibilities toward its shareholders
Explanation:
The primary purpose of a company is to maximize shareholder wealth. This means that it is to pursue strategy that would ensure the maximum return to its shareholders. This is also known as its economic responsibility towards shareholders.
Producing xylene-free paints reduces the dividends that are going to shareholders so it would seem that shareholder wealth is not being maximized and they are not getting the maximum return they could get so the company is violating its economic responsibilities towards shareholders. It is for a good cause though.
The correct answer would be D. Limited Partnership
Answer:
<u>DM variances:</u>
Price 2650
Quantity -4,800
<u>Labor Variances:</u>
Rate:-2,000
Efficiency 1400
Explanation:
<u>DM variances:</u>
Price
(std - actual) x actual quantity
(2.4 - 2.2) x 13,250 = 2,650
Quantity
(standard quantity - actual quantity) x std price
(7.5x1,500 - 13,250) x 2.4 = -4,800
<u>Labor Variances:</u>
Rate:
(std rate - actual rate) x actual hours
(7 - 9) x 1,000 = -2,000
actual rate = actual cost/actual hours = 9,000/1,000 = 9
Efficiency
(std hours - actual hours) x std rate
(1,500 x 0.8 - 1,000) x 7 = 1400
If the number is 12,759 and they ask to round to the nearest 10,000 then you look at the thousands place (where the 2 is) and is its less than 5 round down and if its more round up. so the answer would be 10,000
