Answer:
D
Explanation:
The consumer price index measures the changes in price of a basket of good. It is used to measure inflation. Because the price of price of used cars and trucks in US has increased , the CPI would increase
CPI = (cost of basket of goods in current period / cost of basket of goods in base period) x 100
Changes in the quality of good is not included in the calculation of CPI. This is one of its drawbacks
Total debt ratio is the ratio of total debt to total assets
i.e
Total debt ratio = Total debt / Total assets
But Total assets is nothing but total equity plus total debt
Now let us consider,
TD = Total debt
TE = Total equity
TA= Total assets
Therefore,
Total debt ratio = TD/TA
But as mentioned above
TA = TD + TE
total debt ratio = Total debt/(total debt+total equity)
total debt ratio = .34(given)
.34 = TD / (TD + TE)
Solving this equation yields:
0.34 = 1/(1+ TE/TD)
0.34(1+TE/TD) = 1
0.34 + 0.34TE/TD =1
.34(TE/TD) = 1 - 0.34
0.34 (TE/TD) = 0.66
0.34TE = 0.66TD
Now, Debt equity ratio is the ratio of Total debt to total equity
Debt-equity ratio = TD / TE
Debt-equity ratio = 0.34 / 0.66
Debt-equity ratio = 0.51515152
Answer:
$31 per hour
Explanation:
The predetermined overhead rate is computed as
= Estimated manufacturing overhead / Estimated direct labor hours
Given that
Estimate manufacturing overhead = $629,300
Estimated direct labor hour = 20,300
Therefore,
Predetermined overhead rate
= $629,300 / 20,300
= $31 per hour
Answer: ARR = Average profit/Initial outlay x 100
ARR = $19,000/$250,000 x 100
ARR = 7.60%
The correct answer is C
Depreciation = Cost - Residual value/Estimated useful life
= $250,000 - $20,000/5 years
= $46,000 per annum
Average profit = Total profit/No of years
= $325,000/5
= $65,000
$
Average profit 65,000
Less: Depreciation 46,000
Average profit after depreciation 19,000
Explanation: In determining the accounting rate of return of the investment, there is need to calculate depreciation using straight line method. The amount of depreciation would be deducted from the average profit so as to obtain the average profit after depreciation. The average profit would be divided by the initial outlay in order to obtain the accounting rate of return.
