Answer:

b) the method to reduce costs of producing automobile glass, but not the formula for the substance that prevents smudging.

Explanation:

As provided, the professor develops a way which shall reduce the cost of producing the automobile glass, which apparently is very easy for anyone to copy and use.

Whereas, when a company develops the formula which creates a substance that prevents the automobile glass from getting smudged is again a technological knowledge although not that common.

Since the first one is apparently easy and other is patented which means both are common else not so common idea will not need patent as people would not be able to create such formula.

A 10-year bond pays an annual coupon, its YTM is 8%, and it currently trades at a premium. Which of the following statements is
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

If the yield to maturity remains at 8%, then the bond's price will decline over the next year.

Explanation:

When the bonds sells at a premium it means that the coupon payment is greater than the yield to maturity, which means that the income generated by the bond is greater than return required by the investor and because of this the bond sells at a premium because the investor is willing to pay more for the bond as it offers more income than its required rate of return. With a premium the bond price increases to a point where the coupon and required return become equal. When the bond has 10 years to maturity it means that it will give 10 equal payments to the investor which will be greater than the investors required return therefore the investor will be willing to pay a higher price for the bond, as the maturity decreases the number of payments which will be higher than the required return also decrease, so for example if there are 5 years to maturity then the bond will pay 5 payments that are greater than the required return so the investor will be paying a lower premium compared to when he was getting 10 payments that payed more than his required return.

Compute predetermined overhead rates and explain why estimated overhead costs (rather than actual overhead costs) are used in th
Crazy boy [7]

Why estimated overhead costs (rather than actual overhead costs) are used in the costing process is explained below.

A predetermined cost is an expenditure that a company estimates ahead of time.

This cost is calculated prior to the purpose of production and includes all variable costs that affect production in a manufacturing business.

Actual overhead costs are difficult to calculate for each job, especially in a production environment with a large number of jobs.

As a result, overhead costs are allocated according to some standardized methods, which may link overhead costs to direct labor, machining time, and material used in each job.

Manufacturing overhead in a manufacturing organization refers to indirect costs that are required for production but cannot be traced back to individual products.

Machine depreciation and factory rental are two examples of manufacturing overhead costs.

Hence, computation of predetermined overhead rates is given above.

Maurinko [17]

Answer: The best choices would have been Deepak Menon, Ruby Coulbury, and Ethan Atkinson

Explanation:

Team work requires the best of those not only coming to the team with their talent and idea but those who'd be willing to put their everything to make sure the project being carried out is a success, failure to do so would just be having bunch of talented people with no passion but woould rather work for personal gain and fame. Choosing the best shouldn't just be what they can do but also how passionate are they. That's why the best choices would have been Deepak Menon, Ruby Coulbury, and Ethan Atkinson based on their passion accompanied with their talent.

Volbeat Corp. shows the following information on its 2015 income statement: sales = $275,000; costs = $188,000; other expenses =
Verdich [7]

Answer: (1) $61,495

(2) $17,200

(3) $5,400

Explanation:

Given that,

sales = $275,000

costs = $188,000

other expenses = $7,900

depreciation expense = $15,200

interest expense = $13,600

taxes = $17,605

dividends = $10,500

new equity issued = $5,100

Net new long-term debt = $3,600

EBIT = sales - depreciation expense - costs - other expenses

        = $275,000 - $15,200 - $188,000 - $7,900

        = $63,900

EBT =  EBIT - Interest

       = $63,900 - $13,600

       = $50,300

EAT = EBT - Taxes

       = $50,300 - $17,605

       = $32,695

Retained earnings = EAT - Dividends

                               = $32,695 - $10,500

                               = $22,195

(1) operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + depreciation expense

                                      = $63,900 - $17,605 + $15,200

                                      = $61,495

(2) cash flow to creditors = Interest - Net new long-term debt

                                          = $13,600 - (-$3,600)

                                          = $17,200

(3) cash flow to stock holders = Dividend - net new equity

                                                 = $10,500 - $5,100

                                                 = $5,400

Spartan Corporation estimates that it will incur $200,000 of total manufacturing overhead cost at an estimated activity level of
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Applied manufacturing overhead is $4,000

Explanation:

Given,

Total manufacturing overhead = $200,000

Activity level = 10,000 DLH

Predetermined overhead rate = \frac{Manufacturing\ overhead\ cost}{Activity\ level}

=\frac{200,000}{10,000}

=$20

Manufacturing overhead applied = predetermined rate × time required

                                                       = 20 × 200

                                                       = $4,000

Therefore, manufacturing overhead of $4,000 is applied to the job.
