Answer:
a. $129,500
Explanation:
Conversion costs includes all those costs which are used to convert the raw material into the finished goods. All the manufacturing costs excluding material costs are included in the conversion cost.
Total Conversion Cost is calculated as follow:
Direct Labor cost $84,000
Add: Applied Factory overheads <u>$45,500</u>
Total Conversion cost <u>$129,500</u>
Answer: Option <u>" C. Even though a bond has a substantial initial interest rate, its return can turn out to be negative if interest rates rise. "</u> is generally true of all bonds.
Explanation: The negotiation of bonds in the open market can lead to a negative return on the bonds if the price of the bonds is negotiated with a sufficient premium. Remember that bond prices change inversely with the yield of a bond, the higher the price of a bond, the lower the yield. At some point, the price of a bond may increase enough to imply a negative return for the buyer.
Answer:
Material Price Variance = $2,500 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Standard fabric for each cap = 2.00 yard
Standard price per yard = $2.00 per yard
Actual price per yard = $2.10
Actual Quantity = 25,000 yards
Materials price variance = (Standard price - Actual Price) 
Actual Quantity
= ($2.00 - $2.10) 25,000 = - $0.10 25,000
= - $2,500
Since it is negative in value it is Unfavorable
First we calculate the return on equity(ROE) based on the Du-pont equation
ROE = Net profit margin * Total asset turnover * equity multiplier
Total asset turnover = 1/capital intensity =1/1.08
Equity multiplier = 1+ debt to equity = 1+ 0.54 = 1.54
net profit margin = 6.2% = 0.062
ROE = 0.062*1/1.08*1.54 = 0.0884 = 8.84%
Sustainable growth rate = ROE*(1- dividend payout)
Sustainable growth rate = 0.0884*(1-0.4)
Sustainable growth rate= 0.053 = 5.3%
Sustainable growth rate = 5.30%
