Answer:

implied credit spread =  1.13 %

Explanation:

given data

interest on foreign government bonds = 7.5%

current exchange rate = 28

forward exchange rate = 28.5

risk-free rate = 4.5%

solution

we get here risk free rate by the forward exchange rate that is

F = spot exchange rate × \frac{1+Rr}{1+Rs}   ....................1

put here value

28.5 = 28 ×  \frac{1+Rr}{1+0.045}  

solve it we get

Rr = 0.0637

Rr = 6.37%

so

implied credit spread = interest on foreign government bonds - risk free rate

implied credit spread = 7.5% - 6.37%

implied credit spread =  1.13 %

Tom [10]

a. Standard labor-hours is 7920 hours.

b. Standard labor cost allowed is $42,768.

c. The labor spending variance is $1588(U).

d.  The labor rate variance is $1706 and the labor efficiency variance $3294(U).

e.  The variable overhead rate is $5971(U) and efficiency variances for the month $5580(U).

<u>Explanation:</u>

a)Standars hours(SH) allowed to make 19800 jogging mates

=SH per unit \times 19800

=(24/60)*19800

=7920 hours

24/60 has been taken to convert minutes into hours.  

b)Standard Labor Cost (SC) of 19800 jogging mates

=19800 \times SC per unit=19800 \times $2.16\\=$42,768

=$42,768

c)Labour Spending Variance

=Standard Cost - Actual Cost(AC)=$42,768 - $44,356=$1588(U)

=$1588(U)

d)Labor Rate Variance  

=(SR per hour-AR per hour)\timesAH=(5.4-5.2)*8530=$1706(F)

=$1706

Actual Hours(AH) * Actual Rate per hour(AR)= Actual Cost(AC)

8530 \times AR = $44,356

AR = \frac{44356}{8530}\\ \\AR = 5.2

Labor Efficiency Variance

=(SH-AH) \times SR\\=(7920-8530)*$5.4=$3294(U)

=$3294(U)

e) Variable overhead rate variance = Actual hours worked  (Standard overhead rate - Actual overhead rate)

= 8530  (4.5 - 5.20)

= $5971(U)

Actual overhead rate = $44,356 / 8530 = 5.20

Variable overhead efficiency variance = Standard overhead rate   (Standard hours - Actual hours)

= 4.50  (7290 - 8530)

= $5580(U).

You are considering in investing one of the two options: Investment A requires a $255,000 upfront payment from you and generates
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Option (E) Never

Explanation:

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + $21,000 / (r)

NPV from Investment Project 2 = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

The question says that find the number of years that equals the total return which means the NPV from both investments is equal:

($255,000) + $21,000 / (r) = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

$21,000 / (r) - $29,000 / (r) = $255,000 - $175,000

-$8000 / r = $80,000

r = - 8000 / 80000 = -0.01 = - 10%

The negative sign shows that project A can not make a positive NPV that will be equal to that of project B and vice versa. It can also be illustrated by putting the value of r in "NPV from Investment Project 1"

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + 21000 / -0.01

= ($255,000) - $210,000 = ($465,000)

This shows that the company will have to make losses of $465,000 which is not possible because company will not select projects with negative NPVs.

galben [10]

Answer:

Break-even point= 713 car washes

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

For December he paid $2,000 in rent, $700 in utilities, $2,950 in salaries, and $50 on advertising. A full-service car wash costs $10.50. Unit variable costs per car wash are $2.50.

First, we need to calculate the total fixed costs:

Fixed costs= rent + utilities + salaries + advertising

Fixed costs= 2,000 + 700 + 2,950 + 50= $5,700

Now, using the following formula, we can calculate the break-even point in units:

Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point= 5,700/ (10.5 - 2.5)= 713 car washes

The suppliers of direct materials would have given the company the maximum number of days that expect cash , in order to meet up with such deadline the company must plan ahead by incorporating the values of such purchases into cash flow projections, the same also applies to cost of direct labor.
