Answer:

Relevant cost = $19

Explanation:

Relevant cost refers to the cost which is avoidable on the addition of any other unit, here the direct cost of material, and labor $14 and variable overhead of $5 per head is avoidable straight as is related to per unit.

Further fixed cost of $8 each allocated is already incurred and not relevant for the decision for any additional unit.

Therefore, in the given case relevant cost = $14 + $5 = $19

Since that is the only avoidable cost.

Fixed cost has already been incurred and cannot be avoided.

Relevant cost = $19

You have the following information regarding a bond that pays semi-annual coupon payments: Time to maturity is 12 years Coupon R
IrinaK [193]

Answer: 2%

Explanation:

As the coupon payments are semi-annual, you need to convert the other measures to semi-annual measures as well.

Coupon rate = 6%/2 = 3% per semi annum

Coupon payment = 3% * 1,000 which is par value = $30

Time to maturity = 12 * 2 = 24 semi annual periods

Price is still the same = $1,189.14

You can use an Excel worksheet to solve for the Yield:

Number of periods = 24

Payment = $30

PV = 1,189.14

FV is par value of $1,000

Periodic rate is 0.019999

= 2%

Temka [501]

Answer:

696,325 Pounds

Explanation:

The computation of the direct material purchase budget is given below:

Here we assume that

one pound = 16 ounces

Now total wax needed is

= Production of Finished Goods × Pounds of wax needed for production

= 730,000 candles × 11 ÷ 16

= 501,875 pounds

Now

Total direct material purchased  = (Total Wax needed +  Ending Inventory, Jan.31 - opening inventory) × unit price

= (490,625 Pounds + 12,900 pounds - 17,400 pounds) × $1.40 per pound

= 696,325 Pounds
