bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Year       Price        Dividend           Return

1             43.31               -                       -

2           48.29           0.51                   12.68%

3            57.21           0.54                  19.59%

4           45.29           0.60                 -19.89%

5           52.21            0.65                  16.71%

6           61.29            0.73                 18.79%

arithmetic returns basically refer to the mean (or average) of the returns = (12.68% + 19.59% - 19.89% + 16.71% + 18.79%) / 5 = 47.88% / 5 = 9.58%

geometric returns involves multiplying the returns and then squaring them = ⁵√(1.1268 x 1.1959 x 0.8011 x 1.1671 x 1.1879) - 1 = 1.0840 - 1 = 0.084 = 8.40%

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

= Selling price per unit - profit per unit

= $80 - $20

= $60

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it

Gitano Products operates a job-order costing system and applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct materials used in p
Yanka [14]

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-  

1. Predetermined Overhead Rate for a Year

= Estimated Manufacturing Overhead ÷ Estimated Allocation Base Of Direct Material × 100

= $133,500 ÷ $89,000 × 100

= 150%

2. We have a need the value of overhead applied and overhead incurred, to calculate the value of over applied and under applied overhead.

Overhead Applied = (Purchase Of Direct Material + Opening Value of Direct Material - Closing Value of Direct Material) × Predetermined Overhead Rate

= ($139,000 + $27,000 - $13,000) × 150 ÷ 100

= $153,000 × 150 ÷ 100

= $229,500

Overhead Incurred

= Indirect Labor + Property Taxes + Depreciation of Equipment + Maintenance + Insurance + Rent&Building  

= 127,800 + 8,880 + 18,000 + 12,000 + 11,300 + 40,000

= $217,980

Over Applied Overhead = Overhead Applied - Overhead Incurred

= $229,500 - $217,980

= $11,520

Overhead applied is more than overhead incurred, so this situation is called over applied overhead.

3. Cost of Goods Manufactured for the Year

Particular  Amount  ($)

Opening stock of raw material 27,000

Add-purchases of raw material 139,000

Less-closing stock of raw material 13,000

Add-Direct labor 85,000

Add-Manufacturing overhead applied to WIP 229,500

Add-Opening Work in Progress 46,000

Less-closing Work in Progress 36,000

Goods manufacturing cost 477,500

4. Unadjusted Cost of Goods Sold

Particular  Amount ($)

Goods manufacturing cost 477,500

Add-finished goods opening stock 71,000

Less-finished goods closing stock 56,000

Cost of goods sold 492,500

g The Nelson Company has $1,312,500 in current assets and $525,000 in current liabilities. Its initial inventory level is $385,0
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$262,500

Explanation:

Current ratio = Current asset/Current liabilities

In line with the current ratio formula, to calculate the amount of short term debt increase, with the amount of current assets and current liabilities, we must add an amount such that the result 2.0

(1,312,500 + x) / (525,000 + x) = 2.0

Cross multiply

(1,312,500 + x) = 2.0 × (525,000 + x)

Open the brackets

1,312,500 + x = 1,050,000 + 2x

Collect like terms

1,312,500 - 1,050,000 = 2x - x

262,500 = x

It therefore means that the maximum that should be borrowed to buy inventory is $262,500
