Answer:

Profit margin per unit= $1.25

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The direct cost rate is $ 6 per unit.

The selling price of the product is $ 21.

Estimated manufacturing overhead= $275,000

Estimated machine-hours= 40,000

Actual machine hours are 50,000

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 275,000/40,000= $6.875 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 6.875*2= $13.75

Finally, the profit margin:

Profit margin per unit= 21 - 6 - 13.75= $1.25

Pie

Answer:

Bank A should be chosen.

Explanation:

Given:

Effective annual rate (EAR) of bank A = 10%

Bank B pays 9% compounded daily. EAR of bank B is calculated below:

EAR = $( 1+\frac{i}{n})^{n} -1$

Where, i is 0.09

n is compounding period that is 365 (since it is compounded daily)

EAR = $( 1+\frac{0.09}{365})^{365} -1$

= 1.0942 - 1

= 0.0942 or 9.42%

Bank B pays EAR of 9.42%

Based on EAR, Bank A should be selected as it pays higher EAR of 10%.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

$\mathbf{current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= \$848.78}$

Explanation:

The current price of the bond can be calculated by using the formula:

$current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= ( coupon \times \dfrac{ (1- \dfrac{1}{(1+YTM)^{no \ of \ period }})}{YTM} + \dfrac{Face \ Value }{(1+YTM ) ^{no \ of \ period}}$

$current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= ( \dfrac{0.064 \times \$1000}{2} \times \dfrac{ (1- \dfrac{1}{(1+ \dfrac{0.091}{2})^{8 \times 2}})}{\dfrac{0.091}{2}} + \dfrac{\$1000 }{(1+\dfrac{0.091}{2} ) ^{8 \times 2}})$

$current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= \$32 \times $11.19 + \$490.70$

$current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= \$358.08+ \$490.70$

$\mathbf{current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= \$848.78}$

Alice is trying to save money, so she decides she’ll only buy renters insurance if and when something bad happens at her apartme

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Insurance companies will only cover losses suffered while the policy is already in place.

Explanation:

Regardless of the type of insurance you purchase, the purpose of the coverage is having a policy in case an unexpected unfortunate event takes place. <em>Insurances do not enroll individuals who need the policy just because of an ongoing accident</em>. Those individuals could enroll in an insurance plan but the ongoing accident will not be covered by the company. Only those events happening when the policy is already valid are subject to evaluation for coverage.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

C, the board of directors of IFS

Explanation:

The board of the IFS is ultimately responsible for the corporate climate that resulted in the use of substandard ingredients in the meals meant for the troops.

This is because the directors are the ones at the helm of affairs and they decide what happens in the IFS. This means that at least one of the directors is aware of the use of substandard ingredients . It can be said that if one knows, all other know. This phrase convieniently indicts the directors.

Cheers.
