To calculate the maturity of this note,
we use a simple formula first to get the interest which is:
I = Principal (amount owed) X Interest Rate (%) X Time (length of loan)
The days is only divided by only 360 days instead of 365 days. This is because commercial loans often use 360-day calendar years instead of 365-day calendar years. But not all banks used this as their calendar year,
I = Prt
= ($80000) (0.05) (120/360)
= ($80000) (0.01666666666)
I = $ 1,333.33
To get the maturity value, the formula is: M = Interest + Principal
M = I + P
= $1,333.33 + $80,000
= $81,333.33 or $81,333, letter C
Answer:
The answer is D) aggregation
Explanation:
An aggregate forecast addresses a company's capacity requirements
Answer:
Supplier's quotation (2,400 x $6.25) 150,000
Less: Relevant cost of production:
Direct material (2,400 x $31) 74,400
Direct labour (2,400 x $18) 43,200
Variable overhead (2,400 x $9) <u>21,600</u> <u>139,200</u>
Savings <u> 10,800</u>
The parts should be produced in-house since the relevant cost of production is lower than supplier's quotation.
Explanation:
In this case, we need to compare supplier's quotation to the relevant cost of production. The price of $6.25 above was computed by dividing the total price charged by the supplier by the number of parts. Moreso, the relevant cost of production is obtained by the aggregate of direct material, direct labour and variable overhead.
I would ask them if they were comfortable with a fluctuating rate, which though at the moment is lower than the fixed rate, could go up in the future. I would also ask them if they needed to be sure of the rate say for example for a 5 year term like in a mortgage for peace of mind or if they are willing to take a risk with the fluctuations. If the latter, I would tell them that at any time they could lock it in for a 5 year term if they saw it going up.
