Answer:

1.Total Equivalent Units   Materials    471,600  Conversion     464,400

2. Cost Per Equivalent Unit Materials $ 1.33  Conversion   $ 0.75

3. Cost of Ending Work In Process  $ 39528

4. Cost Of Units Transferred Out = $ 936,000

5. Cost Materials  $ 627 228 and Conversion $348,300

Explanation:

Builder Products, Inc.,

Weighted-Average Method

1. Equivalent Units

Particulars              Units       % of Completion       Equivalent Units

                                       Materials Conversion   Materials Conversion

Transferred Out    450000     100         100             450,000      450,000

<u>Ending WIP           36000        60          40                21,600          14,400  </u>

<u>Total Equivalent Units                                              471,600       464,400</u>

Transferred Out units are calculated by adding Opening Inventory and production started and subtracting ending inventory units.

Transferred Out units = Opening Inventory+ production started -ending inventory units

Transferred Out units =76,000 + 410,00 - 36000= 450000 units.

2. Cost Per Equivalent Units

                                                     Materials         Conversion

Cost Of Opening Inventory         117,900                 53600

Cost Added                                  613,080              294,700

Total Costs                                <u>  624,980               348,300</u>

Equivalent Units                         471,600                464,400

Cost per Equivalent Unit            624980/471600        348300/464400

                                                      $ 1.33                           $ 0.75

3. Cost of Ending Work In Process  $ 39528

Materials = 21600 * $ 1.33= $ 28728

Conversion = 14400 * $ 0.75=  $10800

We multiply the equivalent number of units with the cost per unit to find the cost.

4. Cost Of Units Transferred Out = $ 936,000

Materials = 450 000 * $ 1.33= $ 598,500

Conversion = 450000 * $ 0.75 =  $ 337,500

5. A Cost Reconciliation Report

                                      Materials              Conversion

Ending WIP                     $ 28728                  $10800

<u>Transferred Out                $ 598,500             $ 337,500</u>

<u>Total                                </u><em><u> 627 228**</u></em><u>                 348,300</u>

These calculated costs reconcile with the costs given in the above data.

                                                   Materials              Conversion

Cost Of Opening Inventory         117,900                 53600

<u>Cost Added                                  613,080              294,700</u>

Total Costs                                <u>  </u><em><u>624,980**  </u></em><u>             348,300</u>

The difference is in the cost of materials which is actually <u> </u><em><u>624,980** and we found it out to be </u></em><u> </u><em><u> 627 228**</u></em><u>  .</u> This is because we rounded the Cost per Equivalent Unit of material from $ 1.325 to $1.33

If we multiply 1.325 *  471,600  we get $ 624870 which is almost the same.

g A decrease in the basis will __________ a long hedge and __________ a short hedger. Group of answer choices hurt; hurt hurt; b
alekssr [168]

Answer:

1. hurt

2. benefit

Explanation:

Given that a contract and an asset are to be converted in cash early, this implies that, basis risk exists and futures price and spot price should not move in lockstep before delivery date. However, a reduction in the basis will then hurt the long hedger and benefit the short hedger.

Hence, considering the nature of the hypothetical situation, a decrease in the basis will HURT a long hedge and BENEFIT a short hedge.

A machine with a cost of $65,000 has an estimated residual value of $5,000 and an estimated life of 4 years or 18,000 hours. Wha
forsale [732]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A machine with a cost of $65,000 has an estimated residual value of $5,000 and an estimated life of 4 years or 18,000 hours.

To calculate the depreciation expense for each year, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

Year1= [(65,000 - 5,000)/4]*2= $30,000

Year2= [(60,000 - 30,000)/4]*2= $15,000

Assume that you have entered into a swap agreement for a notional of 100M USD under which every 6 months you agree to pay LIBOR
kozerog [31]

Answer:

0.25 Million

Explanation:

This is a situation of Interest rate swap in which I have entered in a agreement  that I will receive a Fixed interest rate of 4% and I will pay the floating interest rate. Net of Both will be a payment or receipt for me. If the floating rate will be higher than the fixed rate, then I have to pay for the difference and If the floating rate will be lower than the Fixed Rate I will receive the net amount.

after 6 months

Fixed Rate = 4%

Floating rat = LIBOR = 3.5%

Net Payment / receipt after 6 month = LIBOR - Fixed Rate = 3.5% - 4.0% = -0.5%

I will have receipt of 0.5%

Amount to be received = 100 M x 0.5% x 6/12 = 0.25 M
