Which of the following statements is correct?A. Wide variations in capital structures exist both between industries and among in

dividual firms within given industries. These differences are caused by differing business risks and also managerial attitudes. B. Drug companies (prescription, not illegal!) generally have high debt-to-equity ratios because their earnings are very stable and, thus, they can cover the high interest costs associated with high debt levels. C. Generally, debt-to-total-assets ratios do not vary much among different industries, although they do vary among firms within a given industry. D. Since most stocks sell at or very close to their book values, book value capital structures are almost always adequate for use in estimating firms' costs of capital.E. Electric utilities generally have very high common equity ratios because their revenues are more volatile than those of firms in most other industries.

Allure Company manufactures and distributes two products, M and XY. Overhead costs are currently allocated using the number of u
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:</u>

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

Production setups= (73,000 / 30)= $2,433.33 per setup

Material handling= (49,000 / 91)= $538.46 per number of part  

Packaging costs= (246,000 / 156,000)= $1.58 per unit

<u>Now, we need to allocate costs to Product XY:</u>

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

Production setups= 2,433.33*18= 43,799.94

Material handling= 538.46*23= 12,384.58

Packaging costs= 1.58*60,000= $94,800

Total allocated costs= $150,984.52

<u>Finally, per unit basis:</u>

Unitary cost= 150,984.52 /60,000= $0.27

Pauline's Pecan Pies collected the following production information relating to November​'s baking​ operations:
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Pecan Pies

a. Summary of the flow of physical units:

Beginning Work in process = 209,000

Started during month =        1,025,000

less ending work in process  159,000

Units completed in month = 1,075,000

b. Computation of output in terms of equivalent units:

Units completed:

                                                       Physical      Direct      Conversion

                                                            Unit        Material        Cost

Determination of equivalent units:

less ending work in process  159,000    103,350 (65%)   127,200 (80%)

Units produced                     1,075,000   1,075,000 (100%)  1,075,000 (100%)

Explanation:

Data:

                                                         Physical      Direct      Conversion

                                                            Unit        Material        Cost

Beginning work in process            209,000

Ending work in process                  159,000      65%          80%

Units started during the month  1,025,000

Total units in production             1,234,000        103,350      127,200

Determination of equivalent units:

less ending work in process         159,000      103,350      127,200

Units produced                           1,075,000   1,075,000   1,075,000

a) The equivalent unit is the product of the class of unit in production multiplied by the percentage of completion.  This forms the basis for allocating cost between a product's costs and the ending work in process.  Calculating the equivalent units helps to determine accurate costs of units completed.

You currently own shares in Buckeye Mutual Fund (BMF). Your broker calls and recommends buying shares in a small-capitalization
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Option D is the correct option

Explanation:

To find the optimal fund to combine with risk free rate of return, we will use Coefficient of variation,

Coefficient of variation(CoV) = Standard Deviation/Expected Return

CoV of Buckeye = 14%/20% = 0.7

CoV of Wolverine = 11%/12% = 0.9167

So, higher the CoV higher the risk, we will take Buckeye to combine with Risk Free Return.

Hence, Option A

- Required target return of portfolio = 22%

Risk Free return = 8%

Buckeye Return = 20%

Let the weight of Buckeye be X ,& weight of risk free be (1-X)

Required return = (WRF)*(RRF) + (WB)*(RB)

22 = (1-X)(8) + (X)(20)

22 = 8-8X + 20X

14 = 12X

X = 1.17

SO, weight of Buckeye is 1.17 or 117%

while weight of Risk free is -0.17 (1-1.17) or -17%

Hence, ans is OPTION D

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

a bona fide occupational qualification

Explanation:

Bona Fide Occupational Qualification is a term used to describe a type of discrimination that is not illegal, even if it seems. It is a positive discrimination used by companies to hire new employees, when necessary, based on factors that are considered discriminatory such as gender, religion, nationality, among others.

An example of this can be seen when the film recording industry needs to hire an Asian actor to play a character of Asian origin. This industry uses nationality as a discriminatory factor to hire someone, but in this scenario, this does not discriminate.
