3 0

Answer:

d) a bond issued by the U.S. government

Explanation:

A bond issued by the US government will be expected to pay the lowest interest rate because the default risk is almost 0 with the US government which means that it is a risk free investment for the lender. The investor will be willing to lend money to US government at the lowest interest rate out of all the options because it is the safest investment therefore the investor's required rate of return is the lowest for US government.

<u><em>                                          Service </em></u>

<u><em>                    Administration,      Accounting,       Maintenance</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Costs                $269,000,         $402,000,         $199,000,

Employees            44                     14                       22            

Equipment value

(in thousands)       $ 177.00        $ 236.00          $ 17.50      

                                <u>   Production </u>

<u>                         Molding                  Painting </u>

Costs

Direct Materials $242,500         $211,000

Direct Labor      $327,500           $219,000

Overheads        $105,000           $82,500

Building area       441,000            56,700

Employees           66                      88

Equipment value

(in thousands)      $ 118.00         $ 59.00

<em><u>First we find the activity rates for each cost using total cost driver except self usage</u></em>

1) Maintenance  $ 199,000

Equipment Value= 177 + 236+ 118+ 59=  590 ( in thousands)  ( all but maintenance itself )

Maintenance per equipment = 199,000/590,000=  0.3373 per equipment

2) Accounting,= $402,000,

Employees=44  + 22 + 66 + 88 =  220

Accounting per Employee=  $402,000,/220=  1827.27 per Employee

3) Administration= $269,000

Building area  =63,000 +69,300 +441,000+ 56,700= 630,000

Administration per square footage= 269,000/ 630,000= 0.4269= 0.43 per square

<u><em>Then we multiply the rates to find the service costs allocated.</em></u>

Overheads        $105,000                                $82,500

<u>Service Cost Allocated</u>

Building area       0.43*441,000                   0.43* 56,700
