Answer:
Rate variance = $250 favorable
Explanation:
The variable overhead rate variance is the difference between the actual variable cost and the standard variable overhead cost the actual actual hours used.
We would compare the actual cost to the standard cost of the actual hours used . This is done below as follows:
$
4,200 hours should have cost (4200 × 3.75 ) 15,750
but did cost 15,500
Rate variance 250 Favorable
Note the actual hours of 4,200 cost $250 less than it should be have cost . Hence the variance is favorable
Rate variance = $250
On July 1, Wildhorse Co. purchases 560 shares of its $5 par value common stock for the treasury at a cash price of $10 per share. On September 1, it sells 370 shares of the treasury stock for cash at $11 per share. Required:Journalize the two treasury stock transactions.
Answer:
Please see the journal entries for the two treasury stock transactions.
Explanation:
• Purchase of treasury stock
Treasury stock Dr $5,600
To Cash account Cr $5,600
(Being the purchase of treasury stock that is recorded)
For recording the above, treasury stock was debited because it increased the treasury while cash credited because it decreased the assets.
• Sale of treasury stock
Cash account Dr $4,070
To Treasury stock Cr $3,700
To paid in capital- treasury stock Cr $370
Explanation
° Purchase of treasury stock
Treasury stock
= 560 shares × $10 per share
= $5,600
° Sales of treasury stock
Cash receipt
= 370 shares × $11 per share
= $4,070
Treasury stock
= 370 shares × $10 per share
= $3,700
Paid in capital treasury stock
= 370 shares × ($11-$10)
= $370
You find a zero coupon bond with a par value of $10,000 and 21 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.3 percent. Assume semiannual compounding periods.What is the price of the bond?
Answer:
Price of bond $4,092.49
Explanation:
Computation the price of the bond
Using this formula
Price of bond=Par value*1/(1+YTM/2)^(2*time period)
Where,
Par value=$10,000
1/(1+YTM/2)=1/(1+0.043/2)
(2*time period)=(2*21 years)
Let plug in the formula
Price of bond=$10,000*1/(1+0.043/2)^(2*21)
Price of bond=$10,000*1/(1.0215)^42
Price of bond=$10,000*(0.97895252)^42
Price of bond=$10,000*0.4092497467
Price of bond=$4,092.49
Therefore the price of the bond will be $4,092.49
data related to the inventories of alpine ski equipment and supplis is presented below 180000 the inventory of skis would be valued at
Answer:
$128,000
Explanation:
The computation of inventory of skis is shown below:-
NRV = Selling price - Sales commission
= $180,000 - ($180,000 × 10%)
= $180,000 - $18,000
= $162,000
Cost = $128,000
The cost which is $128,000 lower than $162,000 NRV
So, Inventory of Skis will be $128,000 which is Lower of cost or NRV
Therefore the correct answer is $128,000
Data pertaining to a company's joint production for the current period follows
Quantities produced 310 lbs. 260 lbs
Market value at split-off point . $10.2/lb. $20.4/lb
Compute the cost to be allocated to Product L for this period's $792 of joint costs if the value basis is used. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
a. $295.81.
b. $49619.
c. $39600.
d. $2,926.00.
e. $962.19.
Answer: a. $295.81.
Explanation:
Using the value basis would mean that the product's share of the total market value will be used to determine it's share of the cost.
Total Market Value = Product L Market Value + Product M Market Value
= (310 lbs * 10.2) + ( 260 lbs * 20.4)
= 3,162 + 5,304
= $8,466
Product L's share of total market value
= 3,162/8,466
Product L's share of the $792 based on share of total market value
= (3,162/8,466) * 792
= $295.8072
= $295.81

Wilson Dover Inc. The total value (debt plus equity) of Wilson Dover Inc. is $500 million and the face value of its 1-year coupon debt is $200 million. The volatility (σ) of Wilson Dover's total value is 0.60, and the risk-free rate is 5%. Assume that N(d1) = 0.9720 and N(d2) = 0.9050. Refer to the data for Wilson Dover Inc. What is the yield on Wilson Dover's debt? a. 7.05% b. 6.04% c. 6.70% d. 7.42% e. 6.36%
Answer:
7.42%
Explanation:
Value = 500 million
Amount of debt = 200 million
Time = year
Volatility = 6%
Risk free rate = 0.05
Nd1 = 0.9720
Nd2 = 0.9050
We have to calculate the value =
500 - (500 x 0.9720 - 200 x e^-0.05 x 0.9050)
= 186.17 million
We now calculate the yield
(200/186.17)^1 - 1
= 0.0742
= 7.42%
On July 1, Shady Creek Resort borrowed $250,000 cash by signing a 10-year, 8% installment note requiring equal payments each June 30 of $37,258. What amount of interest expense will be included in the first annual payment
Answer:
Interest expense = $20,000
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The annual installment is computed as follows:
Annual installment= Loan amount/annuity factor
Annual installment is already given as = 37,258 (already given)
Interest payment = interest rate × Loan balance at the beginning of the year
DATA
Interest rate = 8%
Loan balance at the beginning of the year = $250,000
Interest expense = 8%× 250,000 = $20000
Principal paid = Annual installment - Interest = 37,258-20,000 = 17,258 (this is not required but to explain the concept)
Interest expense = $20,000
Which of the following statements is true?
A. Investment in another company's common stock is classified as a cash outflow from financing activities in the statement of cash flows.
B. Losses on the sale of long-term assets are an adjustment reported in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows under the indirect method.
C. Dividends paid are classified as a cash outflow from operating activities in the statement of cash flows.
D. Re-payment of long-term debt is classified as a cash outflow from investing activities in the statement of cash flows.
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
Loss on the sale of long-term assets is an adjustment which will be added back to the net income. This is under the cash flow from operations when preparing cash flow using an indirect method.
Option A is incorrect because investment in another company is under investing activities.
Option C is incorrect because dividend paid are usually under financing activities (cash outflow)
Option D is incorrect because repayment of long term debt is a cash outflow under financing activities.
Fed is open to changing bond policy Fed policymakers signaled for the first time that they could increase or decrease stimulation of the economy in the future, but not now. Source: Los Angeles Times, May 1, 2013 What are the ripple effects and time lags that the Fed must consider in deciding when to increase or decrease stimulation of the economy?
Answer:
When the Fed raises the federal funds rate, the inflation rate decreases about two years later.
Explanation:
When trying to stimulate the economy either by increasing or decreasing, policymakers have to take into consideration how it would effect interest rate, amount of money available in the economy, loans that would be acquired by banks and the behavior of interest rate.
Interest rate can be impacted quickly even though the period of time it would take for such action to have a reflection on what quantity of money is available in the economy. Then also a period of 2 years would be taken for this action to take effect on inflation.
Therefore
When the Fed raises the federal funds rate, the inflation rate decreases about two years later.
A company estimates that it can sell 5,000 headphone each week if it prices each set of headphones at $20. However, its weekly number of sales will increase by 1000 units for each $1 decrease in price. At what price is revenue maximum? What is the maximum revenue and how many sets of headphones should the company expect to sell? Write your conclusions in a sentence.
Answer:
At what price is revenue maximum?
$13 and $12 per unit (maximum revenue $156,000)What is the maximum revenue and how many sets of headphones should the company expect to sell?
$156,000Write your conclusions in a sentence.
When the price is higher than $12 per unit, demand is elastic, which means any decrease in price will result in a larger proportional increase in quantity demanded. This in turn increases total revenue. Below $12 per unit, demand is inelastic, which means that a decrease in price will result in a smaller increase in quantity demanded.Explanation:

If the price of steel, an input into the production of automobiles, rises, and at the same time the price of gasoline rises, what will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of automobiles
Answer:
a decrease in equilibrium quantity
an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price.
Explanation:
An increase in the price of steel would raise the production cost of cars. as a result the supply curve would shift inwards or to the left. price would rise and quantity would fall.
A rise in the price of gasoline would increase the cost of fuelling one's car. As a result the demand for cars would fall. the demand curve would shift inward. Quantity and price would fall.
Taking these two effects together, there would be a decrease in equilibrium quantity but an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price.

Pioneer Venture Capital firm recently offered a biotech company $50 million funding in exchange for 25% of the biotech company's ownership. What is the company's implied post-money valuation
Answer:
The company's implied post-money valuation is $200 million.
Explanation:
Post-money valuation is a technique that is employed to determine the value of a firm after making an investment in the company.
The calculation of the implied post-money valuation is done by dividing the investment amount offered by the percentage of ownership the investor is getting in exchange. This can be expressed as follows:
Implied post money valuation = Investment amount offered / Ownership percentage ............................ (1)
Since from the question, we have:
Investment amount offered = $50,000,000
Ownership percentage = 25%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Implied post money valuation = $50,000,000 / 25% = $200,000,000
Therefore, the company's implied post-money valuation is $200 million.
he beginning share price for a security over a three-year period was $50. Subsequent year-end prices were $62, $58 and $64. The arithmetic average annual rate of return and the geometric average annual rate of return for this stock were:
Answer:
Arithmetic average rate of return = 9.30%
geometric average annual rate of return = 8.58%
Explanation:
share price at the beginning = $50
time = 3 year
price at the end of year 1 = $62
price at the end of year 2 = $58
price at the end of year 3 = $64
Annual rate of return in year 1 = ($62 / $50 - 1) x 100 = 24%
Annual rate of return in year 2 = ($58 / $62 - 1) x 100 = -6.45%
Annual rate of return in year 3 = \($64 / $58 - 1) x 100 = 10.34%
Arithmetic average rate of return = sum of annual rate of return / 3
Arithmetic average rate of return = (24% + -6.45% + 10.34%) / 3
Arithmetic average rate of return = 9.30%
geometric average annual rate of return = { (1 + r1) x (1 + r2) x (1 + r3) }^1/3 - 1
= (1.24) x (0.9355) x (1.1034)^1/3 - 1 = 8.58%
You short-sell 100 shares of Tuckerton Trading Co., now selling for $44 per share. What is your maximum possible gain, ignoring transactions cost
Answer:
$4,400
Explanation:
Calculation for the maximum possible gain, ignoring transactions cost
Using this formula
Maximum possible gain = Sale proceeds - Cost of purchasing the share
Let plug in the formula
Maximum possible gain = (100 shares *$44 per shares)- (100 shares *0) = 14000
Maximum possible gain=$4,400-0
Maximum possible gain=$4,400
Therefore the maximum possible gain, ignoring transactions cost will be $4,400

The mode of transportation that results in the lowest transportation cost will also lower total costs for a supply chain.
a) true
b) false
Answer: False
Explanation:
Transportation is the movement of individuals or goods from one place to another. Supply chain are the steps that are involved before a product will finally get to the consumer.
It should be noted that the mode of transportation that results in the lowest transportation cost will not necessarily lower total costs for a supply chain. This I because transportation isn't the only process involved on supply chain.
g An arbitrage opportunity arises when... Group of answer choices An investment has a high risk-return ratio. disparity between 2 or more prices allow investors to yield a sure profit the risk-free rate generates a positive alpha. a net investment is taken place within a portfolio
Answer:
disparity between 2 or more prices allow investors to yield a sure profit
Explanation:
Arbitrage is defined as the practice where there is simultaneous buying and selling of an asset so as to benefit from a price difference.
Usually the price differences occur in different markets, so the arbitrator acts as a supplier of the goods to market where goods are to be sold.
For example if a company buys fertiliser from a whole seller and immediately sells the goods to a farmer's cooperative at higher price this is arbitrage.
So abitrage opportunity is when disparity between 2 or more prices allow investors to yield a sure profit
The risk-free rate is 5% and the tangency portfolio has 20% expected return and 40% return standard deviation. A risk-loving investor has $1000 of wealth and she seeks to attain 27.5% expected return. How much money does she need to borrow from the bank? A. 250 B. 500 C. 1500 D. 1000
Answer:
B. 500
Explanation:
Portfolio return = Weighted average return
Let the amount invested in portfolio is x and amount invested in risk free = 1000 - x
27.5% = 20%*x + 5%*(1000-x)
27.5% * 1,000 = 20%x + 50 – 5%x
0.275 * 1,000 = 15%x + 50
275 - 50 = 15%x
225 = 15%x
x = 225 / 0.15
x = $1,500
Hence, the amount of money borrowed = $1,500 - $1000
= $500
Mr. Fred Mitchell is requesting the birth record for Amy, his birth daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell gave Amy up for adoption four years ago. Should you release the records to him? Why or why not?

In which of the following situations would a delegation of contractual duties be allowed? Multiple Choice A painter hired to paint your home. A sculptor hired to sculpt your bust. An actor hired to perform in a play. A surgeon performing brain surgery.
Answer:
A painter hired to paint your home.
Explanation:
Delegation of contractual duty occurs when the individual that is supposed to perform a task transfers the responsibility of performing the task to another person.
For example if someone is supposed to paint a house but he has other engagements. He can delegate to another painter to perform the painting.
Delegation does not transfer contractual rights as the original person still collects payment for performance of the task.
Usually delegation can occur for tasks that do not require special skill and can be performed by anyone.
In the other scenarios special skill is required so delegation will not be usually allowed.
