<u>Answer:</u> The rate of interest is 7.18 %
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the rate of interest, we use the equation used for the interest compounded monthly follows:
A = Amount after time period 'T' = $100,000
P = Principal amount = $50,000
R = rate of interest = ?
n = Number of times interest applied per time period = 1 (annually)
T = time period = 10 years
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Calculating the rate of interest in percentage:
Hence, the rate of interest is 7.18 %
Answer:
The product cost for 24,500 units is $497,350.
Explanation:
The reason is that the the product cost always includes all the variable production cost and specific fixed production cost. In this scenario, direct material cost, direct labor cost, variable manufacturing overhead cost are variable production cost whereas the fixed manufacturing cost is specific fixed production cost which will form part of product cost. The remainder of the cost left is period cost.
Direct materials (24,500 * $7.7 per unit) $188,650
Direct labor (24,500 * $4.7 per unit) $115,150
Variable manufacturing overhead (24,500 * $2.2 per unit) $53,900
Fixed manufacturing overhead (24,500 * $5.7 per unit) <u>$139,650 </u>
Total product costs $497,350
