Answer:
Standard rate per direct labor hour is $27.1
Explanation:
Standard rate per direct labor hour includes the hourly pay rate, Payroll taxes and fringe benefits. For Theresa Corporation,
We have given that
Basic direct labor rate is $21.00 per hour
Payroll Taxes is 10% of basic direct labor rate i.e. 10% of $21.00 = $2.10 per hour
Fringe Benefits is $4.00 per hour.
So Standard rate per direct labor hour = $21.00 + $2.10 + $4.00 = $27.1
Answer:
If Mo pays cash, the cost of the purchase will be $140.
If Mo uses the credit card and pays the full balance during the billing cycle, the cost of the purchase will be $135.80.
Explanation:
If Mo pays cash, it implies that she does not get the 3% discount she is entitled to, with the use of her credit card. Therefore, she will bear the full cost. However, if she uses the credit card, the discount is $4.20 ($1540 * 97%) and she will pay only $135.80 as the discounted price of the electronic reader.
Answer:
The rate of return is 21.26%
Explanation:
Before calculating the return in percentage terms, it would be more appropriate to start with computing the return on the mutual fund in dollars ' terms.
Return in dollars terms;
Net Asset Value on 31 December 2019 $19.47
less
Net Asset Value on 1 January 2019 ($17.50)
return on NAV $1.97
Add:
Income distributions $0.75
Capital gains distributions $1.00
Total return on mutual fund $3.72
Rate of return=total return mutual fund/Opening net asset value
rate of return =$3.72/$17.50
=21.26%
Answer: The answers to the questions are provided below.
Explanation:
1. The Required Rate of Return(RRR) is the absolute minimum return on an investment that an individual or firm would accept for the investment to be considered worthwhile. The required rate of return helps in deciding whether an investment is worth the cost or not.
An expected rate of return helps in knowing out how much one can expect to make from an investment. An expected rate of return is the return on investment that an individual or firm expects to make when investing in a stock.
The RRR is the least possible rate which would entice someone to invest while the expected rate of return is what the person plan to make from that investment and its calculation is based on probability.
When there is difference between the required rate of return and expected rate of return for an asset at a specific period of time, it means that the economic conditions aren't normal as there is either inflation or deflation in the market.
2. The holding period return is the total return gotten from holding an asset over a particular period of time which is known as the “holding” period while the expected return is the return based on probability-weighted average of likely returns from an investment.
3. Diversification is a technique that is applied to reduce risk through the allocation of investments among several financial instrument and industries. Diversification aims to maximize the returns through investment in different sectors because each sector will likely react differently when there's a risk. Investing in more than one asset through diversification is essential because each asset will react differently when a risk occurs.
