Answer:
The economies of scope will be "0.6". The further explanation is given below.
Explanation:
Conner's estimated time seems to be $17 an hour.
And a full day's worth becomes
⇒ $17 × 24 = $408
The estimated value of every other white-water journey,
= [tex]\frac{408}{2}[/tex]
= $[tex]204[/tex], perhaps if two white-water trips could be made per day.
The net value or amount of each wildlife tour
= [tex]\frac{408}{4}[/tex]
= $[tex]102[/tex], because if four wildlife visits could be made through one day.
Presently, when he does several of them, he could do more visits, that would be to say, one white-water trip as well as three wildlife.
Therefore the total value of one trip in white-water as well as three trips in wildlife will be:
= [tex]204\times 1 + 102\times 3[/tex]
= [tex]204+306[/tex]
= $[tex]510[/tex]
Now,
The economies of scope,
= [tex]\frac{(408+408-510)}{510}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{306}{510}[/tex]
= [tex]0.6[/tex]
The price of just doing individuals around each other is therefore,
= [tex](0.6\times 100)[/tex]
= 60% lower than that of the expense of doing all the multiple trips.
As the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the multiplier increases. decreases. remains the same. As the marginal propensity to save (MPS) increases, the multiplier decreases. remains the same. increases. If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.40 , what is the multiplier, assuming there are no taxes or imports
Answer: 1. Increases
2. Decreases
3. 1.67
Explanation:
The formula for the Investment Multiplier is,
= 1/ ( 1 - MPC)
From this formula, inferences can therefore be made.
1. As the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the Multiplier INCREASES.
As the MPC increases, it will reduce the denominator therefore increasing the Multiplier.
2. As the marginal propensity to save (MPS) increases, the multiplier DECREASES.
The Marginal Propensity to Save is ( 1 - MPC) because what isn't consumed is saved.
The MPS is therefore the denominator of the Multiplier equation.
That means then that as it rises, the Multiplier Decreases.
3. The Formula for the Investment Multiplier is, = 1 / ( 1 - MPC)
= 1 / ( 1 - 0.40)
= 1.67
Now consider the case in which the manufacturer offers a marginal unit quantity discount for the plywood. The first 20,000 square feet of any order are sold at $1 per square foot, the next 20,000 square feet are sold at $0.98 per square foot, and any quantity larger than 40,000 square feet is sold for $0.96 per square foot. What is the optimal lot size for Prefab given this pricing structure? How much cycle inven
Answer:
Explanation:
We can use the following method to solve the given problem
We are given following
Annual demand,
D = 20000*12
D = 240,000 sqft
Fixed order cost, is given as
S = $ 400
Considering the unit cost, is given as
C = $ 1
Holding cost, H = 1*20% = $ 0.2
EOQ = sqrt(2DS/H)
= √(2*240000*400/0.2)
= 30,984 sq ft
This is higher than 20,000 and less than 40,000 sq ft. For this reason, the applicable price for this quantity is $ 0.98
For C = $ 0.98, holding cost, H = 0.98*20% = $ 0.196
Revised EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.196) = 31,298 sq ft
Total annual cost of EOQ policy = D*C + H*Q/2 + S*D/Q
= 240000*0.98 + 0.196*31298/2 + 400*240000/31298
= $ 241,334.5
Now consider the next level of price, C = $ 0.96
Holding cost, H = 0.96*20% = $ 0.192
EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.192)
= 31633 sqft
This amount is will not be feasible for this price, because it requires a minimum order of 40000 sqft.
Therefore, Q = 40,000
Total annual cost = 240000*0.96 + 0.192*40000/2 + 400*240000/40000
Total annual cost = $ 236,640
Total annual cost is lowest for order quantity of 40,000 sq ft.
1) Optimal lot size = 40,000 sq ft.
2) the annual cost of this policy
= $ 236,640
3) the cycle inventory of plywood at Prefab = Q/2 = 40000/2
At prefeb= 20,000 sq ft
4) let's assume the manufacturer sells all plywood at $ 0.96, then
Holding cost, H = 0.96*20%
H= $ 0.192
EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.192)
EOQ = 31633 sqft
Total annual cost = 240000*0.96 + 0.192*31633/2 + 400*240000/31633
Total annual cost = $ 236,471.6
Difference in total annual cost = 236640 - 236471.6 = $ 168.4
Carlos is a 25% owner of CEBJ Builders, a company that specializes in residential construction. The other 75% of CEBJ is owned by his three brothers. During the year, Carlos spends 1,800 hours managing the operations of CEBJ. He also is the 100% owner of four rental properties and spends 125 hours a year maintaining the properties, more than any other individual. During the current year, the four properties generate a loss of $18,500. His adjusted gross income before considering the rental loss is $118,000.
What amount of the loss can Carlos deduct from the current year?
Answer:
$99,500
Explanation:
Adjusted gross income before considering the rental loss $118,000.
Less generated a loss of $18,500
Adjusted gross income $99,500
Carlos qualifies under the real estate professional exception due to the fact that he spends more than 50% of his personal service time in real property trade and the amount of time spent in real property trade is higher than 750 hours, he is as well the sole owner and spends more than 100hours.
Therefore the rental activity is not considered passive and he is allowed to offset the $18,500 loss against his active and portfolio income which is why Carlos'sadjusted gross income after considering the loss is $99,500 ($118,000 -$18,500)
Which of the following scenarios are potential candidates for the Chi-square test? Check all that apply. Group of answer choices Is there a relationship between gender and pet ownership? Is there a relationship between martial status (single, married, divorced, widowed) and political party affiliation (Democrat, Independent, Republican)? Is there a relationship between amount of credit card debt and employment status (unemployed, employed part-time, employed full-time)?
Answer:
A. Is there a relationship between gender and pet ownership?
B. Is there a relationship between marital status (single, married, divorced, widowed) and political party affiliation (Democrat, Independent, Republican)?
Explanation:
The chi squared test is a test in statistics used to establish the relationship between categorical variables. It seeks to compare the observed results in an experiment to the expected results. The test assumes that the variables being compared are independent of each other.
Categorical variables are descriptive and qualitative in nature. Numerical variables, on the other hand, deal with numbers. The amount of credit card debt is a numerical value, and therefore, does not qualify as a chi squared variable.
Samco signed a 5-year note payable on January 1, 2018, of $ 475 comma 000. The note requires annual principal payments each December 31 of $ 95 comma 000 plus interest at 9%. The entry to record the annual payment on December 31, 2021, includes A. a debit to Interest Expense for $ 17 comma 100. B. a debit to Interest Expense for $ 42 comma 750. C. a credit to Cash of $ 137 comma 750. D. a credit to Notes Payable for $ 95 comma 000.
Answer:
Option A, a debit to Interest Expense for $ 17 comma 100 is correct
Explanation:
The principal amount on 1st January 2021 needs to be established since that would be the amount left after 2018,2019,2020 principals have been repaid
Principal at 1st January 2021=$475,000-($95,000*3)=$190000
Interest on principal in 2021=$190000 *9%=$17100
Total repayment in 2021=principal plus interest=$95,000+$17,100=$ 112,100.00
The $95,000 would be a debit to notes payable not credit hence option is wrong.
Only option A,a debit of $17,100 to interest expense is correct

Gross Corporation adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation on December 31, 2019. Its inventory at that date was $1,100,000 and the relevant price index was 100. Information regarding inventory for subsequent years is as follows: Inventory at Current Date Current Prices Price Index December 31, 2020 $1,284,000 1.07 December 31, 2021 1,450,000 1.25 December 31, 2022 1,625,000 1.30 What is the cost of the ending inventory at December 31, 2020 under dollar-value LIFO?
Answer:
$1,281,200
Explanation:
Gross Corporation
Ending inventory
2019 1100000
2020 1284000/1.07 = 1200000
Ending Inventory(1100000+100000*1.07) = 1207000
2021 1450000/1.25 = 1160000
Ending inventory(1100000+60000*1.07) = 1164200
2022 1625000/1.30 = 1250000
Ending inventory(1164200+90000*1.30) = $1281200
Therefore the cost of the ending inventory at December 31, 2020 under dollar-value LIFO will be $1,281,200
Suppose that output (Y ) in an economy is given by the following aggregate production function: Yt = Kt + Nt where Kt is capital and Nt is the population. Furthermore, assume that capital depreciates at rate δ and that savings is a constant proportion s of income. You may assume that δ > s. 1. Suppose that the population remains constant. Solve for the steady-state level of capital per worker. 2. Now suppose that the population grows at rate n. Solve for the steady-state level of capital per worker. 3. Based on your answer to part 2) above, solve for the steady-state growth rates (in terms of n) of the following: (a) capital per worker (b) output per worker (c) capital (d) output
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
Yt = Kt + Nt
Taking output per worker, we divide by Nt
Yt/Nt = Kt/Nt + 1
yt = kt + 1
where yt is output per worker and kt is capital per worker.
a) With population being constant, savings rate s and depreciation rate δ.
ΔKt = It - δKt
dividing by Nt, we get
ΔKt/Nt = It/Nt - δKt/Nt ..... [1]
for kt = Kt/Nt, taking derivative
d(kt)/dt = d(Kt/Nt)/dt ... since Nt is a constant, we have
d(kt)/dt = d(Kt/Nt)/dt = (dKt/dt)/Nt = ΔKt/Nt = It/Nt - δKt/Nt = it - δkt
thus, Capital accumulation Δkt = i – δkt
In steady state, Δkt = 0
That is I – δkt = 0
S = I means that I = s.yt
Thus, s.yt – δkt = 0
Then kt* = s/δ(yt) = s(kt+1)/(δ )
kt*= skt/(δ) + s/(δ)
kt* - skt*/(δ) = s/(δ)
kt*(1- s/(δ) = s/(δ)
kt*((δ - s)/(δ) = s/(δ)
kt*(δ-s)) = s
kt* = s/(δ -s)
capital per worker is given by kt*
b) with population growth rate of n,
d(kt)/dt = d(Kt/Nt)/dt =
= [tex]\frac{\frac{dKt}{dt}Nt - \frac{dNt}{dt}Kt}{N^{2}t}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{dKt/dt}{Nt} - \frac{dNt/dt}{Nt}.\frac{Kt}{Nt}[/tex]
= ΔKt/Nt - n.kt
because (dNt/dt)/Nt = growth rate of population = n and Kt/Nt = kt (capital per worker)
so, d(kt)/dt = ΔKt/Nt - n.kt
Δkt = ΔKt/Nt - n.kt = It/Nt - δKt/Nt - n.kt ......(from [1])
Δkt = it - δkt - n.kt
at steady state Δkt = it - δkt - n.kt = 0
s.yt - (δ + n)kt = 0........... since it = s.yt
kt* = s.yt/(δ + n) =s(kt+1)/(δ + n)
kt*= skt/(δ + n) + s/(δ + n)
kt* - skt*/(δ + n) = s/(δ + n)
kt*(1- s/(δ + n)) = s/(δ + n)
kt*((δ + n - s)/(δ + n)) = s/(δ + n)
kt*(δ + n -s)) = s
kt* = s/(δ + n -s)
.... is the steady state level of capital per worker with population growth rate of n.
3. a) capital per worker. in steady state Δkt = 0 therefore, growth rate of kt is zero
b) output per worker, yt = kt + 1
g(yt) = g(kt) = 0
since capital per worker is not growing, output per worker also does not grow.
c)capital.
kt* = s/(δ + n -s)
Kt*/Nt = s/(δ + n -s)
Kt* = sNt/(δ + n -s)
taking derivative with respect to t.
d(Kt*)/dt = s/(δ + n -s). dNt/dt
(dNt/dt)/N =n (population growth rate)
so dNt/dt = n.Nt
d(Kt*)/dt = s/(δ + n -s).n.Nt
dividing by Kt*
(d(Kt*)/dt)/Kt* = s/(δ + n -s).n.Nt/Kt* = sn/(δ + n -s). (Nt/Kt)
[tex]\frac{sn}{\delta +n-s}.\frac{Nt}{Kt}[/tex]
using K/N = k
[tex]\frac{s}{\delta +n-s}.\frac{n}{kt}[/tex]
plugging the value of kt*
[tex]\frac{sn}{\delta +n-s}.\frac{(\delta + n -s)}{s}[/tex]
n
thus, Capital K grows at rate n
d) Yt = Kt + Nt
dYt/dt = dKt/dt + dNt/dt = s/(δ + n -s).n.Nt + n.Nt
using d(Kt*)/dt = s/(δ + n -s).n.Nt from previous part and that (dNt/dt)/N =n
dYt/dt = n.Nt(s/(δ + n -s) + 1) = n.Nt(s+ δ + n -s)/(δ + n -s) = n.Nt((δ + n)/(δ + n -s)
dYt/dt = n.Nt((δ + n)/(δ + n -s)
dividing by Yt
g(Yt) = n.(δ + n)/(δ + n -s).Nt/Yt
since Yt/Nt = yt
g(Yt) = n.(δ + n)/(δ + n -s) (1/yt)
at kt* = s/(δ + n -s), yt* = kt* + 1
so yt* = s/(δ + n -s) + 1 = (s + δ + n -s)/(δ + n -s) = (δ + n)/(δ + n -s)
thus, g(Yt) = n.(δ + n)/(δ + n -s) (1/yt) = n.(δ + n)/(δ + n -s) ((δ + n -s)/(δ + n)) = n
therefore, in steady state Yt grows at rate n.
Suppose the top five firms in a market have market shares of 23%,12%,8%, 7% and 5% respectively. The remaining 45 firms in the market each have a market share of 1%. Would the FTC be likely to approve a merger between the top two firms in this market?
Answer: Yes, The FTC will approve the merger.
Explanation:
The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is the common measure of market concentration used to determine market competitiveness. The HHI is calculated by the squaring of the market share of every firm competing in the market and then adding the resulting numbers
HHI (before the merger)
= 23² + 12² + 8² + 7² + 5² + 45 × 1²
= 529 + 144 + 64 + 49 + 25 + 45
= 856
HHI (after the merger) = (23 + 12)²
8² + 7² + 5² + 45 × 1² = 1408
Here, the market is less concentrated and the HHI is still below 1500 after the merger. Therefore, FTC will approve this merger. The answer is Yes.
Oriole Tire Co. just paid an annual dividend of $1.70 on its common shares. If Oriole is expected to increase its annual dividend by 3.10 percent per year into the foreseeable future and the current price of Oriole’s common shares is $19.65, what is the cost of common stock for Oriole? (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places, e.g. 0.1555 and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25%.)
Answer:
Cost of common stock is 12.02%
Explanation:
The cost of common stock can be computed from share price formula given below:
share price=do*(1+g)/r-g
do is the dividend just paid which is $1.70
g is the expected dividend growth per year which is 3.10%
r is the cost of common stock which is unknown
share price is $19.65
by changing the subject of the formula:
r=do*(1+g)/share price+g
r=1.70*(1+3.10%)/19.65+3.10%
r=1.7527/19.65+3.10%
r=0.0892+3.10%=12.02%
The company's cost of capital which is also the cost of common stock is 12.02%
Consider two ways of commuting in a crowded city: taking public transportation, such as subway and buses, or driving your own car.
A person who chooses to take public transportation in a crowded city imposes a _________ externality on drivers. A policy implication of this result is a _________ those who take public transportation.
Persons who choose to drive their own cars to get around in a crowded city impose a _______ externality on other drivers. A policy implication of this result is a ________ those who drive their own cars.
Answer:
Positive; Subsidy for
Negative; Tax on
Explanation:
An externality is the economic term that describes a cost or benefit incurred or received by a third party, over which said party has no control over its development.
When externalities result in a benefit for a certain group they are said to be positive and when it is detrimental it is said to be negative.
Taking public transportation in a crowded city is benefitial to drivers making this a positive externality. In order to encourage people to take public transportation, a subsidy for those who take transportation may be adopted.
On the other hand, people who choose to drive their own car impose a negative externality and may encourage a tax on those who drive their own car.
Mercredi, Inc., is considering investing in automated equipment with a ten-year useful life. Managers at Highpoint have estimated the cash flows associated with the tangible costs and benefits of automation, but have been unable to estimate the cash flows associated with the intangible benefits. Using the company's 14% required rate of return, the net present value of the cash flows associated with just the tangible costs and benefits is a negative $182,560. How large would the annual net cash inflows from the intangible benefits have to be to make this a financially acceptable investment? (Ignore income taxes.)
Answer:
$35,000
Explanation:
The computation of the annual net cash inflows from the intangible benefits is shown below:
= Tangibles cost and benefits ÷ PVIFA factor at 14% for 10 years
= $182,560 ÷ 5.2161
= $35,000
Refer to the PVIFA table
We simply divided the tangible cost from the PVIFA factor so that the correct amount could come

On January 1, 2021, Swifty Corporation had 106000 shares of its $5 par value common stock outstanding. On June 1, the corporation acquired 10300 shares of stock to be held in the treasury. On December 1, when the market price of the stock was $13, the corporation declared a 15% stock dividend to be issued to stockholders of record on December 16, 2021. What was the impact of the 15% stock dividend on the balance of the retained earnings account?
Answer:
Decrease by $186,615
Explanation:
The impact of the 15% stock dividend on the balance of the retained earnings account is shown below:-
Shares = 106000 - 10300
= 95,700
Dividend of 15% = 95,700 × 15%
= $14,355
Value of shares = Dividend × Market price of the stock
= $14,355 × $13
= $186,615
So, the retained earning will decrease by $186,615

At a market price of $4, ▼ an equilibrium a surplus a shortage now exists. The market equilibrium exists at a price of $ nothing. In equilibrium, the quantity demanded by consumers is ▼ greater than equal to less than to the quantity supplied by producers.
Answer:
The answer is explained in the explanation section below
Explanation:
Solution
(1)At the market price of $8, the Demanded Quantity is 20 units per week , and the Quantity Supplied is 60 units.
(2) At this price Surplus exists.
Economic Surplus is a is a situation in which the quantity supplied is higher than the quantity demanded. This situation is also referred to as excess supply.
(3) At price $4 there is an exist shortage
At price $4 The quantity Supplied is 20 units and the Quantity Demanded is 60 units respectively. hence, at price $4 Demand is higher/greater than Supply.
(4) At a price of $6 per unit, the market equilibrium exists
Market equilibrium is a situation when the Quantity Demanded of a commodity by the consumer is the same to the respective Quantity Supplied of that commodity by the producers.
(5) )Quantity Demanded by the consumers is equal to the quantity supplied by the producers. In the equilibrium
At price $4 per unit , the quantity supplied by the producers is equal to 40 units and the quantity demanded by the consumers is equal to 40 units Thus the supplied quantity is equal to the demanded quantity this point.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding in Year 1 was 50,000 shares. Starbuck Corporation's common stock is selling for $40 per share on the New York Stock Exchange. Starbuck's dividend payout ratio for Year 1 is _____. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Answer:
20%
Explanation:
The payout ratio can either computed as dividend per share divided by earnings per share or total dividends paid to common stock holders divided by net income for the year.
using the latter formula,the payout ratio of Starbuck Corporation is computed thus:
dividend payout ratio=dividends paid/net income
dividends paid to common stock holders were $50,000
net income for Starbuck for the year was $250,000
dividend payout ratio=$50,000/$250,000=20%

As we know that
Current stock price = (Dividend) ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
= ($8) ÷ ( 10% - 5%)
= $160
b. Now the value of the ROE on the firm’s investment opportunities is
Given that
Dividend = $8
And,
The payout ratio = Dividend ÷ Earning per share
= $8 ÷ $12
= 0.666666666666667
And, retention ratio (b) is
= 1- 0.666666666666667
= 0.333333333333333
In addition to it
indefinite growth rate (g) = 5%
So, the ROE is
= Growth rate ÷ retention ratio
= 0.15 ÷ 0.3333
= 15%
c. And, the market paying per share is
PVGO = Price - Earning per share ÷ required rate of return
where,
PVGO = Present Value of Growth Opportunity
So, the market paying per share is
= $160 - $12 ÷ 10%
= $160 - $120
= $40

Answer:
$344,000
Explanation:
The computation of value of investment is shown below:-
Initial Cost of investments $260,000
(20,000 shares × $13)
Add: Share of profit $22,750
($65,000 × 35%)
Add: Increase in equity
reserves $70,000
(($23 - $13) × 20,000 × 35%)
Less: Dividends received $8,750
($25,000 × 35%)

Your aunt is about to retire, and she wants to sell some of her stock and buy an annuity that will provide her with income of $53,000 per year for 30 years, beginning a year from today. The going rate on such annuities is 7.25%. How much would it cost her to buy such an annuity today
Answer:
Present Value= $641,494.12
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $53,000 per year
Number of years= 30 years
Interest rate= 7.25%
First, we need to calculate the final value of the annuity:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual flow
FV= {53,000*[(1.0725^30)-1]} / 0.0725
FV= $5,237,351.32
Now, we can determine the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 5,237,351.32/ (1.0725^30)
PV= $641,494.12

A manufacturing company prepays its insurance coverage for a three-year period. The premium for the three years is $2,700 and is paid at the beginning of the first year. Eighty percent of the premium applies to manufacturing operations and 20% applies to selling and administrative activities. What amounts should be considered product and period costs respectively for the first full year of coverage?
Answer:
$720 and $180
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
Premium for 3 years = $2,700
So, premium for 1 year = $2,700 ÷ 3 = $900 per year
Manufacturing operation percentage = 80%
Selling and administrative operation percentage = 20%
So, Premium for manufacturing operation = $900 × 80% = $720
And Premium for selling and admin operation = $900 × 20% = $180
How are foreign exchange rates determined
Answer:
Currency prices can be determined in two main ways: a floating rate or a fixed rate. A floating rate is determined by the open market through supply and demand on global currency markets. ... 5 Therefore, most exchange rates are not set but are determined by on-going trading activity in the world's currency markets.

Southern Rim Parts estimates its manufacturing overhead to be $318,000 and its direct labor costs to be $1,060,000 for year 1. The first three jobs that Southern Rim worked on had actual direct labor costs of $65,000 for Job 301, $90,000 for Job 302, and $175,000 for Job 303. For the year, actual manufacturing overhead was $399,000 and total direct labor cost was $834,000. Manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs on the basis of direct labor costs using predetermined rates.Required:a. How much overhead was assigned to each of the three jobs, 301, 302, and 303?b. What was the over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead for year 1?
Answer:
a. Job 301 = $19,500
Job 302 = $27,000
Job 303 = $52,500
b. Overhead applied for the year = $250,200
Under-applied overhead = $148,800
Explanation:
a. The computation of overhead was assigned to each of the three jobs, 301, 302, and 303 is shown below:-
Overhead application rate = Budgeted Overhead ÷ Application Base
Application base = Budgeted Overhead ÷ Budgeted Direct Labor costs
= $318,000 ÷ $1,060,000
= 0.3
Overhead assignment to jobs = Budgeted rate × Labor Cost
Job 301
= 0.3 × $65,000
= $19,500
Job 302
= 0.3 × $90,000
= $27,000
Job 303
= 0.3 × $175,000
= $52,500
b. The computation of over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead for year 1 is shown below:-
Overhead applied for the year = Total direct labor cost × Overhead rate
= $834,000 × 0.3
= $250,200
Under-applied overhead = Actual overhead - Applied overhead
= $399,000 - $250,200
= $148,800
A Company manufactures clay molded pottery on an assembly line. Its standard costing system uses two cost categories, direct materials and conversion costs. Each product must pass through the Molding Department and the Finishing Department. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process. Conversion costs are allocated evenly throughout production. Data for the Assembly Department for August 2017 are: Work in process, beginning inventory: 3000 units Direct materials (100% complete) Conversion costs (40% complete) Units started during August 695 units Work in process, ending inventory: 500 units Direct materials (100% complete) Conversion costs (65% complete) Costs for August: Standard costs for Assembly: Direct materials $15 per unit Conversion costs $35.50 per unit Work in process, beginning inventory: Direct materials $12,400 Conversion costs $9450 What is the balance in ending work-in-process inventory
Answer:
Ending work-in-process inventory is $19,037.50
Explanation:
First Determine the Equivalent Units in ending work-in-process inventory in terms of direct materials and conversion costs
Direct materials ( 500 units × 100%) = 500 units
Conversion costs (500 units × 65%) = 325 units
Then determine the Value of ending work-in-process inventory
Direct materials ( 500 units × $15) = $ 7,500.00
Conversion costs (325 units × $35.50) = $ 11,537.50
Total = $19,037.50
Conclusion
Therefore, ending work-in-process inventory is $19,037.50

On January 1, 2019, Broker Corp. issued $2,200,000 par value 9%, 9-year bonds which pay interest each December 31. If the market rate of interest was 11%, what was the issue price of the bonds? (The present value factor for $1 in 9 periods at 9% is 0.4604 and at 11% is 0.3909. The present value of an annuity of $1 factor for 9 periods at 9% is 5.9952 and at 11% is 5.5370.)
Answer:
$ 1,956,306.00
Explanation:
The issue price of the bonds issued is the present value of all cash flows promised by the bonds discounted using the market interest rate of 11%.
The cash flows which comprise of annual coupon payment for nine years as well as the repayment of the face value at the end of the ninth year as computed thus:
annual coupon payment=face value*coupon rate=$2,200,000*9%=$198,000.00
The present value of $198,000 for nine years= 198,000*5.5370=$ 1,096,326
The present of $2,200,000 at the end of nine years=0.3909*2,200,000=$ 859,980.00
Total present values=$ 859,980+$ 1,096,326=$1,956,306.00
