Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

An increase in the price of inputs of production will cause an increase in the cost of production. The firm will now be able to produce less at the same cost.

As a result, the supply of the commodity will decline. this causes the supply curve to shift to the left further causing an increase in the price of the product.

Preble Company manufactures one product. Its variable manufacturing overhead is applied to production based on direct labor-hour

gavmur [86]

Answer:

<h3>Preble Company</h3>

a. The raw materials cost for the planning budget for March is:

= $1,260,000

b. The raw materials cost included in the company's flexible budget for March

= $1,530,000

c. The materials price variance for March is:

= $90,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Standard Cost Card Per Unit:

Direct materials: 5 pounds at $9 per pound $45

Direct labor: 3 hours at $14 per hour 42

Variable overhead: 3 hours at $8 per hour 24

Total standard cost per unit $111

Planning budget production and sales for March = 28,000 units

Actual production and sales for March = 34,000 units

Purchase of 180,000 pounds of raw materials / 5 = 36,000 units

Purchase cost = $8.50 per pound

Price variance = $0.50 per pound favorable ($9.00 - $8.50)

Total purchase cost = $1,530,000

Direct labor worked = 69,000

Standard labor hours = 34,000 * 3 = 102,000 hours

Direct labor volume variance = 33,000 hours (102,000 - 69,000)

Standard variable manufacturing overhead = $816,000 (34,000 * $24)

a. The raw materials cost for the planning budget for March is:

= $1,260,000 ($9 * 5 * 28,000)

b. The raw materials cost included in the company's flexible budget for March

= $1,530,000 ($9 * 5 * 34,000)

c. The materials price variance for March is:

= $90,000 ($9 - $8.50)180,000

Lincoln Park Co. has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6.04 percent and semiannual payments. The yield to maturity is 6.1

Reil [10]

Answer:

value of the bond = $2,033.33

Explanation:

We know,

Value of the bond, $B_{0} = [I * \frac{1 - (1 + i)^{-n}}{i}] + \frac{FV}{(1 + i)^n}$

Here,

Face value of par value, FV = $2,000

Coupon payment, I = Face value or Par value × coupon rate

Coupon payment, I = $2,000 × 6.04%

Coupon payment, I = $128

yield to maturity, i = 6.1% = 0.061

number of years, n = 15

Therefore, putting the value in the formula, we can get,

$B_{0} = [128 * \frac{1 - (1 + 0.061)^{-7}}{0.061}] + [\frac{2,000}{(1 + 0.061)^7}]$

or, $B_{0} = [128 * \frac{1 - (1.061)^{-7}}{0.061}] + [\frac{2,000}{(1.061)^7}]$

or, $B_{0} = [128 * \frac{0.3393}{0.061}] + 1,321.3635$

or, $B_{0} = [128 * 5.5623] + 1,321.3635$

or, $B_{0} =$ $711.9738 + 1,321.3635

Therefore, value of the bond = $2,033.33

Ann [662]

Answer:

a. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 20Y2

Assets = Equity + Liabilities

Equity = 330,000 - 133,000

= $197,000
