Answer:

$10,400 Favorable

Explanation:

The computation of labor efficiency variance for June is shown below:-

For computing the labor efficiency variance for June first we need to find out the standard hours

Standard hours = 0.5 hours per unit × 3,100 units

= 1,550 hours

Now, we will put it into formula

Labor efficiency variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) × Standard rate

= (1,550 - 510) × $10

= $10,400 Favorable

Therefore for computing the labor efficiency variance for June we simply applied the above formula.

Norma-Jean [14]

<u>Answer:</u> $455

<u>Explanation:</u>

Security deposit with the landlord =$875

Calculation of painting cost

Given

Painting charges= $5.25

Size = 8ft x 10ft = 80 Sq.ft

Total painting charges= 80 Sq.ft x $5.25

=$420

Calculation of security deposit to be returned

= Total security deposit - painting charges

=875-420

=$455

So from the above calculations it is clear that $455 would be returned to me by the landlord.

When the price of a bar of chocolate is $1.00, the quantity demanded is 100,000 bars. When the price rises to $1.50, the quantit

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

a. -1.25

b. -1.25

Explanation:

Price elasticity is used to measure the change in demand as a result of a change in price.

Formula is;

= % change in Quantity/ % change in Price

a. Suppose the price increases from $1.00 to $1.50. The price elasticity of demand is:

% change in Quantity using the midpoint formula;

$=\frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } \\\\= \frac{60,000 - 100,000}{\frac{100,000 + 60,000}{2}} \\\\= -0.5$

% Change in Price using midpoint formula

$=\frac{P2 - P1}{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} } \\\\= \frac{1.5 - 1.00}{\frac{1.00 + 1.50}{2} } \\\\= 0.4$

= -0.5/0.4

= -1.25

b. Suppose the price decreases from $1.50 to $1.00. The price elasticity of demand is:

% change in Quantity using the midpoint formula;

$=\frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } \\\\= \frac{100,000 - 60,000}{\frac{100,000 + 60,000}{2}} \\\\= 0.5$

% Change in Price using midpoint formula

$=\frac{P2 - P1}{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} } \\\\= \frac{1.00 - 1.50}{\frac{1.00 + 1.50}{2} } \\\\= -0.4$

= 0.5/-0.4

= -1.25

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

correct option is C. it's a good time to buy the wood.

Explanation:

given data

slab = 10 feet

cost Tee Time = $5,000

$500 US dollars = $738 NZ dollars

solution

If they import timber from New Zealand. Tea Golf Resort pays less than $ 5000 to import Wood from New Zealand at the current exchange rate. This is a good time for them to import forests

we get here current exchange rate of 1 dollar that is as

US $500 = NZ $738

so $1 = $\frac{738}{500}$

$1 = NZ $1.476

current exchange rate is $1 = NZ $1.476

10 foot slab costs $5000

so Tee Golf Resort will pay is

Tee Golf Resort pay = $\frac{5000}{1.476}$

Tee Golf Resort pay = $3387.53

so correct option is C. it's a good time to buy the wood.
