Answer: 16%
Explanation:
Interest rate on long term treasury securities is calculated below using following formula:
Interest rate = Real risk-free rate + inflation premium + default risk premium + liquidity premium + maturity risk premium
= 3% + 8% + 2% + 2% + 1%
= 16%
Interest rate on long term treasury securities is 16%.
Answer:
$9,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the total fixed overhead variance is shown below:
= Actual fixed overhead costs - Budgeted fixed overhead
where,
Budgeted fixed overhead is $360,000
And, the Actual fixed overhead cost is computed below:
= Actual fixed overhead × Actual production ÷ budgeted production
= $360,000 × 11,700 units ÷ 12,000 units
= $351,000
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= $351,000 - $360,000
= $9,000 unfavorable
Answer
Retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 was: $1,450
Explanation
Revenue = $2,100
Retained Earnings Closing Balance = $1,850
Expenses = $1,150
Dividends = $550
Retained Earnings Closing Balance = Revenue - Expenses - Dividends + Retained Earning Beginning Balance
$1,850 = $2,100 - $1,150 - $550 + Retained Earning Beginning Balance
Retained Earning Beginning Balance = $1,450
Answer:
Explanation:
Under GAAP, every cost incurred should be classified into either period cost or product cost, where:
Product Cost:
The cost business has incurred right now, but will benefit from it in future for e.g. raw materials used to manufacture something which will be sold in next period (by the way period means the time span for which business is reporting its performance like year or quarter). these generally include direct labor, materials and manufacturing over heads
these costs should be capitalized and expensed out in future as the inventory is used.
Period Cost:
all other costs from which business has benefited completely in current period, including admin sales and distribution related costs
these should be expensed out in current period.
for warehousing costs, if they pertain to raw materials and semi finished goods they will be capitalized but if they pertains to finished goods they will be expensed out (as there is no benefit expected from them in future now)
for research and development, every research cost should be expensed out for e.g. feasibility studies under GAAP, but if product found to be commercially viable then the development costs can be capitalized as intangible asset(with the same logic as these will be exactly like manufacturing costs for tangible products).
