Answer:
total budgeted costs = $141,570
budgeted production = 1,000 units
standard rate = $141,570 / 1,000 = $141.57 per unit
total actual costs = $135,810
actual production = 850 units
actual rate = $135,810 / 850 = $159.78 per unit
- total fixed overhead variance = actual overhead costs - budgeted overhead costs = $135,810 - $141,570 = -$5,760 favorable. The actual overhead expense was lower than budgeted.
- controllable variance = (actual rate - standard rate) x actual units = ($159.78 - $141.57) x 850 units = $15,478.50 unfavorable. The actual overhead rate was higher than the standard rate, that is why the variance is unfavorable (more money was spent than budgeted).
- volume variance = (standard activity - actual activity) x standard rate = (1,000 - 850) x $141.57 = 150 x $141.57 = $21,235.50 unfavorable. Less units where produced than budgeted, that is why the variance is unfavorable.
Answer: Maturity

Answer:
Dividends are fixed ⇒ Debt
Preferred dividends are fixed much like the interest payments made on debt which makes this a characteristic of debt.
Usually have no specified maturity date ⇒ Equity
Equity does not have an expiration or maturity date and preferred shares share this same characteristic.
Cost of preferred stock.
The value of a Preferred stock is calculated by the formula:
Price = Dividend / Cost of preferred stock
97.95 = 11 / Cp
97.95 * Cp = 11
Cp = 11/ 97.95
= 11.23%
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Devaluation is the purposeful reduction of the value of a nation's currency in relation to another currency or group of currencies. When the currency is devalued, it can lead to an increase in the export of the nation's produce because the price of the exported goods is cheaper and foreign countries are most likely to purchase cheap goods.
The economic growth rate of a nation is the change in percent of goods and services produced in a country over a period of time. It gives an idea of the income of the average citizen in the country. When the value of the local currency is devalued, exports will increase and that will also cause an increase in the income of citizens. This translates to a resultant increase in the economic growth rate of the nation.
