Plant-wide, department, and activity-cost rates. Acclaim Inc. makes two styles of trophies, basic and deluxe, and operates at ca
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Acclaim Inc.

                                         Basic Trophies     Deluxe Trophies

Budgeted unit cost:

a. using single-plant o/h rate   $17.60                  $28.80

b. using departmental rates    $17.42                  $29.16

c. using ABC                            $18.26                  $27.48

d. They show different costs because the overhead rates are based on different parameters.

I recommend ABC system.  It is more fair because the overhead rates are based on product line's activity usage instead of an arbitrary figure.

You lend a friend ​$​, which your friend will repay in equal annual​ end-of-year payments of ​$​, with the first payment to be r
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: 18%

Explanation:

The payments that your friend will make are an annuity as they are constant. This means that the loan amount of $15,000 is the present value of the annuity.

To find the rate of return, use the factor tables.

Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 14 years, ?%

15,000 = 3,000 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 14 years, ?%

Present value interest factor of annuity, 14 years, ?% = 15,000 / 3,000

Present value interest factor of annuity, 14 years, ?% = 5.0

Go to the present value of annuity factor table and find out what interest rate intersects with 14 periods such that the factor is 5.0.

That rate is 18%.

Rate of return is therefore 18%.

Microhard has issued a bond with the following characteristics: Par: $1,000 Time to maturity: 21 years Coupon rate: 9 percent Se
kifflom [539]

Microhard has issued a bond with the following characteristics: Par: $1,000 Time to maturity: 21 years Coupon rate: 9 percent Semiannual payments Calculate the price of this bond if the YTM is  6% (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.):

Answer:

Price of bond = $982.63

Explanation:

<em>The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV). </em>

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond for Microhard can be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

PV of interest payments

Semi annul interest payment  

= 9% × 1000 × 1/2 = 45

Semi-annual yield = 6%/2 = 3 % per six months

Total period to maturity (in months)

= (2 × 21) = 42 periods

PV of interest =  

45 × (1- (1+0.03)^(-21)/0.03)= 693.6

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value

= 1000 × (1.03)^(-21×2) =288.95

Price of bond

= 693.6 + 288.95 =982.63

Price of bond = $982.63

Wax music expects sales of $437,500 next year. the profit margin is 4.8 percent, and the firm has a 30 percent dividend payout r
zimovet [89]

$16,231 is the Projected Increase in Retained Earnings.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

get here first Expected Profit that is express as

expected Profit = Sales × Profit Margin   .......................1

expected Profit = 437500 × 5.3%

expected Profit = $23187.50

and Dividends is here as

Dividends = Expected Profit × Dividend Payout Ratio   .................2

Dividends = 23187.50  × 30%

Dividends = $6956.25

Projected Increase in Retained Earnings will be

Projected Increase in Retained Earnings = expected Profit - Dividends   ........3

Projected Increase in Retained Earnings  = $23187.50 - $6956.25

Projected Increase in Retained Earnings = $16231.25
