Answer:
Correct answer is D. Direct materials
Explanation:
Among the given choices, direct materials is most likely to be classified as variable cost. Direct materials are the supplies used in manufacturing products which can be directly identified in the output production. It is a main component which is traceable to create or produce products. Basically, all manufacturing industries used direct materials as their variable cost in their production.

Answers
Answer:
(i) -62.5 (Unfavorable)
(ii) -450 (Unfavorable).
Explanation:
(1) Material variance:
Material cost variance is the difference between standard cost for actual output produced and the actual cost of materials.
Material cost variance = (SQ × SP) – (AQ × AP)
Where SQ = Standard quantity for actual output, AQ = Actual quantity, SP = Standard Price and AP = Actual price.
This material cost variance can be subdivided into material price variance and material usage variance.
Material price variance = AQ × (SP – AP)
Material usage variance = SP (SQ - AQ)
In the problem, it is given that materials 2 pounds @ 1.25 per pound.
Therefore, SP = $1.25 and SQ per unit = 2 pounds.
It is given that Glass vessel produced 300 vases using 650 pounds of material.
Therefore, AQ = 650 pounds and actual output = 300 vases.
Therefore SQ for actual output:
= (SQ per unit) × (Actual output)
= (2 pounds) × (300 vases)
= 600 pounds.
It is given that Glass vessel purchased 650 pounds of material for $845.
Therefore Actual price = $845 ÷ 650 pounds
= $ 1.3
SP = $1.25 and AP = $1.3
SQ = 600 pounds and AQ = 650 pounds.
Material cost variance = (SQ × SP) – (AQ × AP)
Material price variance = AQ × (SP – AP)
Material usage variance = SP × (SQ-AQ)
Material cost variance (MCV):
= (600 × 1.25) – (650 × 1.3)
= -95 (Unfavorable)
Material price variance (MPV):
= 650 × (1.25 – 1.3)
= -32.5 (Unfavorable)
Material usage variance (MUV):
= 1.25 (600-650)
= -62.5 (Unfavorable)
Verification:
MCV = MPV + MUV
= (-32.5) + (-62.5)
= -95.
(2) Labor variances:
Labor cost variance is the difference between standard labor cost and the actual cost.
Labor cost variance = (SH × SR) – (AH × AR)
Where SH = Standard hours for actual output, AH = Actual hours, SR = Standard rate and AR = Actual rate.
Labor cost variance can be subdivided into Labor rate variance and Labor efficiency variance.
Labor rate variance = AH × (SR-AR)
Labor efficiency variance = SR × (SH – AH)
It is given that Labor 1.5 hours @ $15 per hour is the standard.
Therefore, SR = $15 and SH per unit = 1.5 hours.
SH for actual output = SH per unit × actual output
= 1.5 × 300
= 450 hours.
It is given that the actual total labor costs for March were $7200, which entailed 480 hours of labor.
Therefore, AH = 480 hours.
AR = Labor cost ÷ labor hours
= 7,200 ÷ 480
= $15.
SH = 450 hours, AH = 480 hours, SR = $15 and AR = $15.
Here, standard rate and actual rate are same. Therefore the labor rate variance is NIL. So the entire labor variance will come under labor efficiency variance.
Labor cost variance = (SH × SR) – (AH × AR)
Labor rate variance = AH × (SR-AR)
Labor efficiency variance = SR × (SH – AH)
Labor cost variance = (450 × 15) – (480 × 15)
= -450 (Unfavorable)
Labor rate variance = 480 × (15-15)
= 0
Labor efficiency variance = 15 × (450 - 480)
= -450 (Unfavorable).

Answers
Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Japanese adult non- institutionalized population = 110.272 million
Labor force = 65.36 million
Number of people employed = 62.242 million
Labor force participation rate is calculated as the percent of adult population involved in the labor force.
Labor force participation rate:
= (Labor force ÷ adult non- institutionalized population) × 100
= (65.36 ÷ 110.272) × 100
= 0.5927 × 100
= 59.27% or 59.3%
Unemployment rate is calculated as the percent of people unemployed among the labor force.
Number of people unemployed:
= Total labor force - Number of employed
= 65.36 - 62.242
= 3.118 million
Unemployment rate:
= (Number of people unemployed ÷ Labor force) × 100
= (3.118 ÷ 65.36) × 100
= 0.0477 × 100
= 4.77% or 4.8%

Answer:
Statement II and III
Explanation:
For Statement I
We know that in a perfect competitive market the profit is maximum where either Marginal Revenue = Marginal Cost, or the Price + Marginal Cost is the point defining the profit.
Therefore, firm having to exercise maximum power in market will produce more up till Marginal Revenue > Marginal Cost.
Therefore, statement I is false.
Statement II
For the time till when the marginal revenue is more than the marginal cost, more and more goods shall be produced to increase the quantum of profit.
as this will assure no losses up to the time where MR>MC.
Thus, statement II is true.
Statement III
If there is no cost of production then entire amount received for a good will be profit, accordingly till the time the marginal revenue does not fall to 0 the goods shall be supplied to consumers, as the entire amount received will be profit with no cost associated.
Thus, statement III is also True.

Answer:
1.98359
Explanation:
Given that :
Index have three stocks and the prices of those sticks are $93, $351, and $74, respectively. Usually what stock split does is to increase he number of share outstanding without any interference with the original total amount of money.
So if Baker ( the company B ) undergoes 2:1 split stock, it typically implies that one share will be divided by two shares.
New divisor for price - weighted index is given by the formula:
Price weighted index =
Price of stock B before stock split is = $351
To determine the new stock B after stock split; we have
Price weighted index₀ =
=
= $175.5
The new divisor for the price weighted index is as follows;
Price weighted index =
Price weighted index =
Price weighted index = 1.98359
Thus, the new divisor for the price weighted index = 1.98359
Answer:The New Divisor for the price weighted index = 4.29 (rounded off to two decimals)
Explanation:
Able stock = $93
Baker = $351
Charlie = $74
Price Weighted Index Formula = sum of company share prices/number of companies
Price Weighted Index Formula = ($93 + $351 + $74)/5
Price Weighted Index = $425/5 = $85
The Price Weighted index before share split = $85 and the divisor is 5
Calculating the New Divisor for the Price weighted index
Let The new divisor for the price weighted index be α
Price of Barker stock after sare split = $351 x 1/2 = $175.5
Price Weighted Index = 85
Price Weighted Index= ($93 + $175.5 + $74)/α = $85
($93 + $175.5 + $74)/α = $85
cross multiply
$85α = ($93 + $175.5 + $74)
$85α = $342.5
α = $342.5/$85 = 4.29411765
α = 4.29
The New Divisor for the price weighted index = 4.29 (rounded off to two decimals)
