Answer:
a. 3.56%
b. 2.31%
Explanation:
In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.
The NPER represents the time period.
Given that,
Present value = $1,040
Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 4% ÷ 2 = $20
NPER = 11 years × 2 = 22 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is = 2 × 1.78% = 3.56%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 3.56% × ( 1 - 0.35)
= 2.31%
Answer:
d. A debit to Work-in-Process Inventory, Finishing Department of $140,000.
Explanation:
Cost of unit transferred = $4 x 35,000 = $140,000
Cost incurred by mixing department is $4 which so the transfer of cost from mixing department to finishing department will be $140,000 for 35000 units. This cost will be recorded in the work in process inventory account of finishing department. As we know that WIP account has debit nature so same entry will be done to record an expense incurred in mixing department.
