Explanation:
An organizational structure in one in which certain activities are aligned to achieve the ultimate goal of the organization. Similar types of set of machines together to get particular output product. The cost drivers in organizational structure can influence the output of a company.To determine the product cost per unit using the absorption costing we find the per unit rate for Variable Overheads for the activity by diving the total variable cost by its cost driver.
Answer:
The correct option is (b)
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the foreign currency that original sold at the market is shown below:
= (Forward rate to Jan 15 - Spot rate) × paymen made
= ($0.00089 - $0.00082 ) × 20 million
= $0.00007 × 20,000,000
= $1,400 premium
hence, the foreign currency that originally sold at the market is $1,400 premium
Therefore the correct option is (b)

Answer:
Explanation:
- The bond has 8% coupon paid semiannually, and those bonds sell at their par value.
- Since the bond sales at par value, Market rate (Yield) = Coupon rate =8%
<u>Second bond:</u>
- Semiannual coupon amount = 1000 x 8%/2 = $40
- Time to maturity = 6 years = 12 semiannual periods
- Semiannual Yield = 8%/2 = 4%
To get price of this bond we will use PV function of excel:
= PV (rate, nper, pmt, fv, type)
= PV (4%, 12, -40, -1000, 0)
= $1053.32
- Price of this bond = $1,053.3
Answer:
The NPV from opening the branch office is negative ( -$106668.08). Thus the branch office should not be opened.
Explanation:
The decision to open the branch office will be taken based on the NPV provided by opening of the branch office. If the NPV of a project is positive based on the required rate of return used as a discount rate fro cash flows, the investment is worth undertaking.
The net present value (NPV) for a project can be calculated as,
NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)² + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial Outlay
Where,
- r is the appropriate discount rate
- Initial Outlay is the Initial cost of the project
- CF represents cash flows from the project
As the required return is 16%, we will take this as the appropriate discount rate.
NPV = 45000 / (1+0.16) + 120000 / (1+0.16)² + 150000 / (1+0.16)³ +
150000 / (1+0.16)^4 + 150000 / (1+0.16)^5 - 485000
NPV = - $106668.08
As the NPV from project is negative at a required return of 16%, the project should not be under taken and the branch office should not be open.
