Answer:
The effective rate of protection for the U.S. steel industry is approximately 17.5%
Explanation:
Mathematically, the effective rate of protection is calculated as follows;
e = (n-ab)/(1-a)
where n is the nominal tariff rate on the final product , a is the ratio of the value of the imported input to the value of the finished product and b is the nominal tariff rate on the imported input
Mathematically;
a = value of iron ore/value of steel = 100,00/500,000 = 1/5 = 0.2
From the question, we can see that nominal tariff rate for steel n = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15
The nominal rate for iron ore b = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05
So we substitute all of these into the equation of e above
e = {0.15-0.2(0.05)}/(1-0.2) = (0.15-0.01)/0.8 = 0.14/0.8 = 0.175 which is same as 17.5%
Answer:
c. The maturity risk premium is assumed to be zero.
Explanation:
In the case when the term structure of the rate of interest would be measured via the pure expectations theory so here the maturity risk premium would be zero as under this theory it is assumed that the risk premium i.e. of the long term would be equivalent to the zero
Therefore the option c is correct
And, the rest of the options seems wrong
If the company calls these bonds at a price of $201,000, the gain or loss on the retirement would be $2,000.
Here, $203,000 is the net carrying value of the liability - $201,000 is the price the bonds were called at and the price that Chang industries paid to retire the bonds and the associated liability.
Therefore, $203,000 - $201,000 = $2,000
The gain or loss on the retirement would be $2,000.
A bond retirement occurs when an organization repurchases bonds that it had previously issued to investors. Thus, the issuer retires the bonds at the scheduled maturity date of the instruments.
Hence, bond retirement involves the cashing out of a bond that has been invested in.

Answer:
1. a. Only major materials and components.
Only the major materials and components are include as direct materials because these are the materials that directly needed for production.
b. Only hourly production workers (aka assembly workers).
The direct labor has to be those people who are directly involved in production which in this case is the assembly workers. Managers and Supervisors are not integral so are not direct labor.
c. Both big items that cannot be traced (e.g., factory rent) and small items that are not worth tracing (e.g., glue, grease).
All other items involved in production should be included as manufacturing overheads including big items and small items that cannot be traced.
2.
Rent for the factory building ⇒ <u>Manufacturing Overhead (OH).</u>
Cost of engines used in production ⇒ <u>Direct materials (DM).</u>
Depreciation on production equipment ⇒ <u>Manufacturing Overhead (OH). </u>
Cost of lubricant used in production. ⇒<u> Manufacturing Overhead (OH). </u>
Production supervisor's salary. ⇒ <u>Manufacturing Overhead (OH). </u>
Assembly workers' wages. ⇒ <u>Direct Labor.</u>
Answer:
3.44%
Explanation:
For this question we use the RATE formula that is shown on the attachment
Data provided in the question
Present value = $15,000,000
Future value or Face value = $0
PMT = $1,050,000
NPER = 20 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this, the rate pf the return is 3.44%
