Answer:

In the flexible budget for October Other Expenses would be closest to $38,200.

Further Explanation:

  • Flexible budget is defined as the budget which is flexible with number of units produced in the accounting period concerned, after putting the values of variable and fixed expenses in a combined format, we put the actual expensed values to calculate the variances.
  • In the given instance, the flexible budget is prepared for the month of October only, and not for the complete accounting year.
  • Even in the flexible budget, the value of fixed expenses do not alter as fixed expenses remain static, and do not change with the level of output.
  • Since the flexible budget has its own format, as follows: there is no title of other expenses, these will be clubbed with general and administration expense. In that we will also club the employee salary and wages fixed, as later will not form part of cost of goods sold, and only the variable part of the later amounting $1,000 per well serviced is part of cost of goods sold.

The calculation for the Gross Profit and Operating Income is shown in the attached table.

As stated in table , direct cost form part of cost of goods sold. Other expenses are selling and administration expense.

Employee salaries and wages are fixed for executives and not for labor, also labor is directly related to the product (here well servicing) therefore that cost is part of cost of goods sold and fixed portion is part of administration expense.

Further the office expense is also part of administration expense and not of direct cost related to the product.

Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 7.3 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has three
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Sam change:   -5.13%

Dave change -18.01%

Explanation:

If interest rate increase by 2%

then the YTM of the bond will be 9.3%

We need eto calcualte the present value of  the coupon and maturity of the bond at this new rate:

<em><u>For the coupon payment we use the formula for ordinary annuity</u></em>

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

Coupon payment: 1,000 x 7.3% / 2 payment per year: 36.50

time 6 (3 years x 2 payment per year)

YTM seiannual: 0.0465 (9.3% annual /2 = 4.65% semiannual)

36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-6} }{0.0465} = PV\\

PV $187.3546

<u><em>For the maturity we calculate usign the lump sum formula:</em></u>

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity: $ 1,000.00

time: 6 payment

rate: 0.0465

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{6} } = PV  

PV   761.32

Now, we add both together:

PV coupon $187.3546 + PV maturity  $761.3154 = $948.6700

now we calcualte the change in percentage:

948.67/1,000 - 1 = -0.051330026 = -5.13

For Dave we do the same:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 36.50

time 40

rate 0.0465

36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-40} }{0.0465} = PV\\

PV $657.5166

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   40.00

rate  0.0465

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{40} } = PV  

PV   162.34

PV c $657.5166

PV m  $162.3419

Total $819.8585

Change:

819.86 / 1,000 - 1 = -0.180141521 = -18.01%

Answer:

True or False

True - explanation below

Explanation:

The congress has been able to prevent the widespread stoppages because they have the power to enforce the emergency board recommendations. These recommendations were viewed by the parties to be very valuable and could definitely serve as the grounds for the resolutions of disputes that may arise.  

A one-day rail strike that happened in 1991 was resolved by the congress by enacting PUB L.102 -29 which was said to have the effects of imposing many of the recommendations of Presidential Emergency Board ( PEB) 219
