Calculate the nominal rate of return given a real rate of 16% and an inflation rate of 8%.
The Fisher equation relates nominal and real interest rates: (1 + nominal rate) = (1 + real rate) * (1 + inflation rate). Using the values 0.16 and 0.08, we calculate (1.16 * 1.08) = 1.2528. Subtracting 1 gives 0.2528, or 25.28%. The source answer is preserved, though the provided explanation in the prompt was mathematically inconsistent with the result.

If the budgeted input price is $80 and the price variance is $40, what is the actual price?
The price variance is calculated as the difference between the actual price and the budgeted price. Assuming the variance is unfavorable (actual price higher than budgeted), the actual price is determined by adding the price variance to the budgeted price. Here, $80 plus $40 equals $120. This indicates that the actual cost per unit of input was higher than the standard or budgeted rate set by the organization.
