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.

Calculating and using Dual Charging Rates
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

1. Calculate a variable rate for the Maintenance Department. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per maintenance hour Calculate the allocated fixed cost for each using department based on its budgeted peak month usage in maintenance hours.

variable rate = $1.30 per maintenance hour

Department                            Peak Number              Allocated  

                                               of hours                        Fixed cost  

Assembly                          (210/2,100) x $65,400          $6,540

Fabrication                     (1,050/2,100) x $65,400        $32,700

<u>Packaging                        (840/2,100) x $65,400         $26,160</u>

Total                                        2,100/2,100                   $65,400

2. Use the two rates to assign the costs of the Maintenance Department to the user departments based on actual usage. Calculate the total amount charged for maintenance for the year.

Department             Fixed costs         Variable cost                  Total              

Assembly                      $6,540     3,500 x $1.30 = $4,550      $11,090

Fabricating                  $32,700     7,000 x $1.30 = $9,100      $41,800

<u>Packaging                   $26,160    10,000 x $1.30 = $13,000    $39,160</u>

Total                           $65,400            $26,650                      $92,050

3. What if the Assembly Department used 3,550 maintenance hours in the year? How much would have been charged out to the three departments?

Department             Fixed costs         Variable cost                  Total              

Assembly                      $6,540     3,550 x $1.30 = $4,615        $11,155

Fabricating                  $32,700     7,000 x $1.30 = $9,100      $41,800

<u>Packaging                   $26,160    10,000 x $1.30 = $13,000    $39,160</u>

Total                           $65,400              $26,715                       $92,115

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The balance of the equation at end of year 2 is$388,800

The balance of the equation at end of year 3 is   $417,600

Explanation:

                           Assets                        =Liabilities          +shareholders' equity

                    Land +cash                           Bonds payable     retained earnings

1/1/year 2                   $360,000                  =$360,000

1/1/year 2 $360,000 ($360,000)                

31/12/year2                $53,500                         =                                     $53,500

31/12/year2              ($28,800)                      =                                      ($28,800)                          

Balance                              $388,800          =                                       $388,800

Opening balance                $388,800=                                              $388,800

31/12/year3                            $53,500=                                               $53,500

31/12/year3                           ($28,800)=                                              ($28,800)                                

Balance                               $ 417,600                                                $417,600

                                             

The interest on bond=$360,000*8%=$28,800

Cazden Motors' stock is trading at $30 a share. Call options on the company's stock are also available, some with a strike price
slava [35]

Answer:

d. If Cazden's stock price rose by $5, the exercise value of the options with $25 strike price would also increase by $5.

Explanation:

A call option confers a right, not an obligation upon the call buyer to buy a security at a pre determined price, known as exercise price or strike price at a future date.

A call buyer would exercise his right only in the scenarios wherein the strike price is lesser than the current market price on maturity.

Profit of a call buyer is given by = CMP as on expiry - Exercise/Strike price - Option premium paid

wherein CMP=  Current Market Price

A call option is "in the money" when it's strike price is less than it's current market price. In the given case, it means if the CMP today represents CMP upon expiry, call buyer would exercise his right and his gain would be $5 i.e $30 - $25.

Since the $25 exercise option is "in the money", an increase in stock price by $5 will also increase the strike price by $5.
