The following data pertains to activity and costs for two months:
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The following data pertains to activity and costs for two months:

June July

Activity level in units 10,000 12,000

Direct materials $ 16,000 $ ?

Fixed factory rent 12,000 ?

Manufacturing overhead 10,000 ?

Total cost $ 38,000 $ 42,900

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost of direct material and direct labor.

Unitary cost Direct material= 16,000/10,000= 1.6 per unit

Unitary cost Direct Labor= 12,000/10,000= 1.2 per unit

Now, we calculate the cost of the prime costs of 12,000 units:

Direct material= 1.6*12,000= 19,200

Direct labor= 1.2*12,000= 14,400

Total= $33,600

Manufacturing overhead= 42,900 - 33,600= $9,300

Mary Smith took a car loan of $25,000 to pay back in 48 monthly installments at an interest rate of 8%. Compute the loan balance
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

$9,233.

Explanation:

The balance of the loan after the 32th payment can be determined after constructing a loan amortization schedule for this car loan. To construct the amortization schedule, we need to first calculate the monthly instalments (PMT) as this is the missing parameter for our time value of money.

I am using a financial calculator here to calculate the monthly instalment :

PV = $25,000

P/YR = 12

I = 8%

N = 48 (years)

FV = $0

PMT = ?

Therefore, the monthly instalment PMT is  $610.32.

But, we need the balance immediately after the 32th payment, so we construct an amortization schedule - now that we have all the parameters.

On a financial calculator enter 1 INPUT 32, SHIFT AMORT.

Pressing the equal sign gives the principle then interest and finally the balance of this loan after the 32th payment. The balance you should get if you follow this procedure carefully is $9,233.
