Answer:

a. $ 900 underapplied

Explanation:

Based on the data provided we conclude that the factory overhead is applied on the basis of direct labour hours.

Determination of Overhead rate

Estimated overhead                                                             $ 115,000

Direct labour hours                                                                  23,000 hours

Overhead rate per direct labor hour is $ 115,000/ 23,000 = $ 5 per direct labor hour

Amount of applied overhead = Direct Labor hours * Overhead rate per hour

Applied Overhead = $ 5 * 35,000                                        $ 175,000

Actual Overhead                                                                    <u>$ 175,900</u>

Underapplied Overhead                                                        $(     900)

Discuss the propriety of showing: a) treasury stock as an asset - b) ""gain"" or ""loss"" on sale of treasury stock as additions
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

a. Treasury stock cannot be shown as an asset because a company cannot buy itself.

b) Gain or loss on sale of treasury stock is not to be treated as income, it should be added or subtracted from share capital because it is a capital transaction.

c). Treasury stock is not an asset. Dividends received from treasury stock cannot be treated as income, it is only assets that generates income.

Explanation:

When corporations for some strategic reasons and the desire to maintain and stabilize the shareholders wealth decide to buy back some of its shares, that is what is known as treasury stock. It is also called reacquired stock

a. The treasury stock is like a corporation acquiring itself, so it cannot be shown as an asset, it is only a reclassification within the same balance sheet.

b. Gains or loss on sale of treasury stock is not an income transaction, it is a transaction that affects the share capital of the corporation and must be charged to the share capital not the income.

c. Since treasury stock is not an asset, dividend received on treasury stock is not to be treated as income, it is only assets that generates income. it should affect retained earnings.

Countess Corp. is expected to pay an annual dividend of $4.57 on its common stock in one year. The current stock price is $73.59
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The cost of equity is 9.91%

Explanation:

The constant growth model of the DDM is used to calculate the price of the share or the fair value per share based on a constant growth in dividends and the required rate of return which is also known as cost of equity.

Plugging in the available values in the formual we can calculate the cost of equity or the required rate of return.

73.59 = 4.57 / (r - 0.037)

73.59 * (r - 0.037) = 4.57

73.59r - 2.72283 = 4.57

73.59r = 4.57 + 2.72283

r = 7.29283 / 73.59

r = 0.0991 or 9.91%

A 15-year, annual coupon bond is priced at $984.56. The bond has a $1,000 face value and a yield to maturity of 6.5 percent. Wha
Bess [88]

Answer:

6.35%

Explanation:

you can use the yield to maturity formula to determine the coupon:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]

0.065 = {coupon + [(1,000 - 984.56) / 15]} / [(1,000 + 984.56) / 2]

0.065 = {coupon + 1.029} / 992.28

64.4982 = coupon + 1.029

coupon = 63.47

coupon rate = 63.47 / 1,000 = 0.06347 = 6.35%
