Farley Inc. has perpetual preferred stock outstanding that sells for $30 a share and pays a dividend of $4.00 at the end of each

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

the required rate of return i r=0.13%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the required rate of interest in the case of a perpetual preferred stock we will use the following formula:

P(p) = D(p) / r

where P(p) is the preferred price of the stock, D(p) is the preferred dividend price and r is the required rate of interest.

This gives us the following values:

30 = 4 / r

r = 4 / 30

r = 0.13%

On January 1, 1997, an investment account is worth 100,000. On April 1, 1997, the value has increased to 103,000 and 8,000 is wi

loris [4]

Answer:

(B) 6.25%

Explanation:

January 1, 1997 = $100,000

April 1. 1997 = $103,000 - $8,000 = $95,000

January 1, 1999 = $103,992

annual interest rate for 1997 = i = (x - 100,000 + 8,000) / [100,000 - 8,000(1 - ³/₁₂) = (x - 100,000 + 8,000) / [100,000 - 8,000(1 - 0.25) = (x - 92,000) / 94,000

x = 92,000 + 94,000i

annual interest rate for 1998 = 1 + i = 103,992/x

x = 103,992/(1 + i)

0 = x(1 + i) - 103,992

now we replace x by 92,000 + 94,000i

0 = (92,000 + 94,000i)(1 + i) - 103,992

0 = (94,000 (1 + i) - 2,000)(1 + i) - 103,992

we now replace 1 + i by Y

0 = (94,000Y - 2,000)Y - 103,992

0 = 94,000Y² - 2,000Y - 103,992

using a calculator, Y = 6.25%

he St. Augustine Corporation originally budgeted for $360,000 of fixed overhead at 100% normal production capacity. Production w

OLga [1]

Answer:

$9000 (unfavorable).

Explanation:

Given: Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000.

Actual fixed overhead=$ 360000.

Actual production= 11,700 units.

The variable overhead rate was $3 per hour.

The standard hours for production were 5 hours per unit.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance is difference between actual production volume and budgeted production. It help in measuring the effecient use of fixed resources. It is termed as favourable if actual fixed overhead exceed the budgeted amount, however, it is unfavorable if the actual fixed overhead is less than budgeted amount.

Now, lets calculate the Actual fixed overhead cost.

Actual fixed overhead cost= $\textrm{actual fixed overhead}\times \frac{Actual\ production}{Budgeted\ production}$

∴ Actual fixed overhead cost= $\$ 360000\times \frac{11700}{12000} = \$ 351000.$

Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000.

Next calculating the fixed factory overhead volume variance.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $\textrm{Actual fixed overhead cost}-\textrm{budgeted fixed overhead}$

We know, Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000 and Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000

∴ The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $\$351000-\$360000= \$ 9000 (unfavorable)$

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $9000 (unfavorable)
