Answer:

a. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead

= $8,000,000 - $8,750,000

= $750,000 Unfavorable

b. Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = $8,000,000 / 5,000,000

= $1.60 per barrel

Fixed overhead applied = 5,100,000 * $1.60

= $8,160,000

Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead  

= $8,160,000 - $8,000,000

= $160,000 Favorable

c. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead

Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = Budgeted fixed overhead / Planned outputs

Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead

A 2-year T-note was issued 9 months ago with a face value of $1000. It pays a 5% per annum coupon, paid semiannually. Suppose th
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The Price of Bond today = $997.07

Explanation:

Semi annual coupons = $1000 * 5% / 2

Semi annual coupons = $25

As 9 months is already over in the two year bond, the coupons are payable

3 months from now, 9 months from now and 15 months from now.

The present value of all these coupons and the principal should be equal to the price of the bond today.  In case of continuous compounding, the formula for Present Value of any future Cash flow C is C*e^(-r*t).

Price of Bond = $25 * e^(-0.06*3/12) + 25*e^(-.061*9/12)+ 1025*e(-0.062*15/12)

Using the value of e as 2.71828

Price of Bond = $25 * 2.71828^(-0.06*3/12) + 25*2.71828^(-.061*9/12)+ 1025*2.71828(-0.062*15/12)

Price of Bond = $ 25 * 2.71828 ^-0.015 + 25*2.71828^-0.04575 + 1025*2.71828^-0.0775

Price of Bond = $ 25 * 1/2.71828^0.015 + 25*1/2.71828^0.04575 + 1025*1/2.71828^0.0775

Price of Bond = $997.07
