Answer:

A. Cost of funds has changed

B. Firm's risk has changed

Explanation:

The required rate of return on bonds refers to an investor's expected rate of return which is based upon rate of return other investors earn in the market on similarly priced bonds. This is also referred to as yield to maturity i.e YTM.

Coupon rate of payment of bond is the interest payment on such bonds which is usually fixed at the time of issue of such bonds.

Required rate of return may differ on account of change in cost of funds to the issuer which is cost of debt denoted as K_{d} . Cost of debt is determined by tax rate and net proceeds from the issue of such bonds.

Required rate of return may also change on account of change in the firm's risk. If the firm assumes more risk, such risk would deter investors from investing in such bonds and in such scenario, the firm has to offer higher coupon rate than the rate prevailing in the market to attract the investors.

Big John’s manufacturing currently produces its lead product on a machine that has a variable cost of 0.32 per unit and a fixed
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The indifference point is 1,875,000 units.

Because the current machine has lower fixed costs, it has a lower cost from 0 units to 1,874,999. From 1,875,001 the new machine is more convenient,

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Current machine:

Total cost= 75,000 + 0.32x

New machine:

Total cost= 150,000 + 0.28x

<u>To find the indifference point, we need to equal the cost functions and isolate x (number of units)</u>

75,000 + 0.32x = 150,000 + 0.28x

0.04x= 75,000

x= 1,875,000

The indifference point is 1,875,000 units.

Because the current machine has lower fixed costs, it has a lower cost from 0 units to 1,874,999. From 1,875,001 the new machine is more convenient.

2. T-accounts:

Manufacturing overhead

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Wages & Salaries        120,000

Depreciation- Equip.     75,000

Expense Payable          62,000

Work in Process                             $300,000

Finished Goods

Account Title                     Debit        Credit

Work in Process           $592,000

Manufacturing overhead  15,000

3. Journal Entry for item (g):

Debit Finished Goods $607,000

Credit Work in Process $592,000

Credit Manufacturing overhead $15,000

To record the cost of manufactured parts, including the under-applied overhead.

4. Cost of goods sold = 10,000 *$607,000/16,000 = $379,375

(While Ending Inventory = 6,000 *$607,000/16,000 = $227,625.)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated manufacturing overhead = $4,800,000

Estimated machine hours = 240,000

Overhead rate = $4,800,000/240,000 = $20 per machine hour

Actual cost data for January:

Number of machine parts = 16,000

Raw materials purchased on account = $325,000

Raw materials cost:

 Direct materials = $232,000 (80% of $290,000)

 Indirect materials = $58,000 (20% of $290,000)

Labor cost

 Direct labor = $60,000 ($180,000 * 1/3)

 Indirect labor = $120,000 ($180,000 * 2/3)

Manufacturing overhead:

 Depreciation = $75,000

 Others = $62,000

 Indirect materials = $58,000

 Indirect labor = $120,000

Total actual overhead incurred = $315,000

Machine hours actually worked = 15,000

b) Other Accounts

1. Expenses Payable

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Manufacturing overhead               62,000

2. Depreciation Expense - Equipment

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Manufacturing overhead              $75,000

3. Raw Materials Account

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Accounts Payable      $325,000

Work in Process                             $232,000

Manufacturing overhead                   58,000

4. Accounts Payable

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Raw Materials                                $325,000

c) The manufacturing overhead applied is $300,000 (15,000 machines hours actually used multiplied by $20 overhead rate), while the actual overhead costs incurred total $315,000.  So there is an under-applied overhead of $15,000 which is charged to Finished Goods in order to obtain the correct cost of 16,000 custom-made machined parts.
