Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $465 unfavorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $150 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard:

1.5 standard hours per Zippy at $3.00 per direct labor hour

Actual:

1,550 hours to make

1,000 Zippies

$5,115 was spent

To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Actual rate= 5,115/1,550= $3.3

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance=  (3 - 3.3)*1,550

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $465 unfavorable

To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (1.5*1,000 - 1,550)*3

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $150 unfavorable

Assume a​ Cobb-Douglas production function of the​ form: q equals 10 Upper L Superscript 0.97 Baseline Upper K Superscript 0.18. What type of returns to scaleLOADING... does this production function​ exhibit? In this​ instance, returns to scale equal nothing. ​ (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal​ places.) This production function exhibits A. decreasing returns to scale. B. constant returns to scale. C. initially increasing but then constant returns to scale. D. initially constant but then increasing returns to scale. E. increasing returns to scale.

Answers

Answer:

Returns to scale = 1.15

Increasing returns to scale.

Explanation:

Cobb-Douglas production function of the​ form:

q=10(L)^(0.97)(K)^(0.18)

Here, we are using a simple rule of factors to find the returns to scale:

q=10(tL)^(0.97)(tK)^(0.18)

q=10(t)^(0.97+0.18) (L)^(0.97)(K)^(0.18)

q=10(t)^(1.15) (L)^(0.97)(K)^(0.18)

Hence,

By adding up the powers of L and K, we can get the returns to scale.

Returns to scale = 1.15

Suppose, the power of L be 'a' and the power of K is 'b',

if a + b = 1, then it exhibits constant returns to scale

if a + b > 1, then it exhibits increasing returns to scale

if a + b < 1, then it exhibits decreasing returns to scale.

In our case,

a + b = 1.15 which is greater than 1, so this production function exhibits increasing returns to scale.

Find the account balance at the end of the second period for $3,000.00 invested at 9% compounded quarterly.

Answers

Answer:

A = $3136.51875

Explanation:

Given that :

The principal = $3,000.00

Rate = 9%

Time = 6 months

Since the amount is compounded quarterly;

r = 9/4 = 2.25 %

t = 6 months = 2 quarter

Using the formula:

A = P(1+r/100)^t

A = 3000.00(1+ 2.25/100)^2

A = 3000.00( 1+ 0.0225)^2

A = 3000.00 (1.0225)^2

A = 3000.00 (1.04550625)

A = $3136.51875

Coronado Inc. had beginning inventory of $12700 at cost and $20900 at retail. Net purchases were $113930 at cost and $158500 at retail. Net markups were $9600, net markdowns were $7400, and sales revenue was $151100. Compute ending inventory at cost using the conventional retail method. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 0 decimal places, e.g. 78% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.)

Answers

Answer:

Ending Inventory:21,267.70

Explanation:

                cost   retail  

beginning        12,700    20,900

purchases   113,930   158,500

markups                9,600  

markdowns               (7,400)

total                 126,630    181,600  

inventory to retail ratio: 126,630 / 181,600 =  0.6973

sales revenues   151,100  

COGS: 151,100 x 0.6973 =  105,362.30

Ending Inventory: 126,630 - 105,362.30 = 21,267.70

The tragedy of the commons suggests that ________.(A) an ongoing process of give and take is based on mutual trust.
(C) mutual trust is based on an ongoing process of give and take.

Answers

Answer:

(A) an ongoing process of give and take is based on mutual trust.

Explanation:

Tragedy of the commons is a situation where individuals in a shared resource system act independently in their own self-interest. They behave in opposition to the common good and deplete shared resources.

In shared resource system there needs to be a collaborative approach between the parties to make sure resources are not exploited.

There needs to be an ongoing process of give and take based on mutual trust to sustain the system.

The concept of the tragedy of the commons has been used in sustainable development, economics, sociology, politics, taxation, and global warming.

Rouge Company’s $250,000 net income for the quarter ended September 30 included the following after-tax items:A $20,000 cumulative effect loss resulting from a change in inventory valuation method made on September 1.$0 of the $60,000 annual property taxes paid on February 1.For the quarter ended September 30, the amount of net income that Rouge should report is:_______.a. $235,000.b. $250,000.c. $255,000.d. $270,000.

Answers

Answer:

c. $255,000

Explanation:

Rouge should report the following income for this quarter = $250,000 (net income) + $20,000 (cumulative effect loss) - $15,000 (25% of annual property taxes) = $255,000

Cumulative effects on inventory valuation occur when overstate or understate your inventory levels, which directly affects cost of goods sold and overall profits.
