Answer:

OPTION D: Direct Labor and Direct Material

Explanation:

Prime cost of a product is defined as the direct costs of producing a product including direct material costs and direct labor costs. Any other manufacturing overheads, indirect expenses and indirect materials/labor cost are not included in the calculation of PRIME COSTS .

Prime Cost = Direct Material Cost + Direct Labor Cost

Therefore, OPTION D: direct Labor and direct materials is the correct definition of prime costs.

Suppose your bank pays you 4 percent interest per year on your savings account, so that $1,000 grows to $1,040 over a oneminu

Fed [463]

Answer:

3 percent which is $30

Explanation:

The real value of money is measured against a basket of goods or services, or against a particular product or service. The real value is adjusted for inflation. In other words, the real value of money is its nominal value adjusted for inflation.

If the bank pays an interest rate of 4 percent, which leads to an increase of savings from $1000 to $1040, should prices increase by 1 percent, then the real value of money has increased by 3 percent. One percent increase in prices represents inflation. Keeping $1000 in the bank will earn a 3 percent real value or $30.

Suppose that you open a mutual fund account with a deposit of 500 dollars. 5 months later, the fund balance is 600 dollars, and

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The question is not complete, below is the complete question:

Suppose that you open a mutual fund account with a deposit of 500 dollars. 5 months later, the fund balance is 600 dollars, and you withdraw 216 dollars. A year after the account was opened, your balance is X dollars. If the dollar weighted and time weighted rates of return were the same, what is the rate of return? (Assume simple interest for the dollar weighted calculation.) Answer should be a percent!!!

Answer:

The rate of return is 48% on deposited fund.

Explanation:

The rate of return on investment is the percentage increase on an amount invested for a particular period of time, and to calculate this, we will use the simple interest formula:

I = P × R × T

Where:

P = principal = $500

R = rate in decimal ( %rate/100)

T = time = 5 months = 5/12 years

I = interest = Principal - final balance = 600 - 500 = $100

∴ 100 = 500 × R/100 × 5/12

100 = $\frac{2500R}{1200}$

120,000 = 2500R

∴ R = 120,000 ÷ 2500 = 48%

Therefore rate of return (R) = 48%

For a clearer understanding of the concept of interests, let us calculate for the balance after one year (X) as shown below:

I = P×R×T

T = 1 because, X is the balance after one year.

I = 500 × 48/100 × 1

I = $240

therefore the final amount after one year = interest + principal

= 240 + 500 = 740

but we were told that $216 was withdrawn at 5 months, hence the balance after one year = 740 - 216 = $524

You purchase another company for $50m. The company you purchase has assets with a fair value of $75m and liabilities with a fair

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

b. $5m

Explanation:

If we purchase another company for $50m and the company you purchase has assets with a fair value of $75m and liabilities with a fair value of $30m. The amount of goodwill we should record in this transaction is: $5m

Goodwill upon acquisition of companies is derived by subtracting the fair value of NET ASSETS from the TOTAL CONSIDERATION (i.e the price paid to acquire the company)

In the scenario, the value of Net Assets is the value of the fairvalue of the assets less the fair value of the liabilities which is $75 - $30 = $45

While the Total Consideration = $50

Therefore Goodwill = $50m - $45m = $5m

sammy [17]

Answer:

Concentrated Targeting Strategy

Explanation:

Concentrated Targeting Strategy refers to a situation in which an organization focus its marketing efforts on only a specific segment of the market. That is, only one marketing mix is developed.

Concentrated Targeting Strategy allows the producer focus on the needs and wants of a particular segment of the consumers/ population. The producer directs all it's efforts to the satisfaction of a segment of the consumers.

Concentrated Targeting Strategy could be disadvantageous if the demand of the focused segment of consumers is low. Low demand will affect the financial position of an organization.
