Answer:

Direct Labor Equivalent unit cost : $5,415463

Explanation:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}\\ &$Units to be assigned costs:&&Equivalent Units&\\&&$Whole Units&Materials&Conversion\\&$Beginning&35000&35000&17500\\&$Started and completed&71000&71000&71000\\&$transferred&106000&106000&106000\\&$ending&39000&39000&11700\\&$Total units to be assigned costs&145000&145000&117700\\\end{array}\right]$

Transferred units:

beginning + started - ending = transferred

35,000 + 71,000 - 39,000 = 71,000

Labor cost: 581,000 + 56,400 = 637,400

equivalent units for conversion: 117,700

(trasnferrred + percentage of completion ending WIP)

Equivalent unit cost:

637,400 / 117,700 = 5,415463

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

d.) 14.66%

Explanation:

The computation of the return required by shareholders is shown below:

Current share price = Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Next year dividend would be

= $4.10 + $4.10 × 0.04

= $4.10 + 0.164

= $4.264

So, the return required by shareholders

$40 = $4.264 ÷ (Required rate of return - 4%)

After solving this equation,

The required rate of return is 14.66%
