Answer: pay satisfaction and promotion satisfaction
Explanation:
The Job Descriptive Index is designed in order to determine the satisfaction of employees with their jobs.
Since the company's pay scale meets the industry norm but does not exceed it, and the managers tend to stay at the same job level for a long time, then the company will score low on in a JDI survey in the area of pay satisfaction and promotion satisfaction.
Answer:
Bonds are a far more important source of financing than are stocks
Explanation:
There is so much of risk associated with the issue of stock. Though it is essential for any business to issue some stock, but bonds are always favorable as they have a defined maturity, defined amount associated, and defined interest payment.
There is no direct payment of interest in bonds but the expense is to be recorded in books as per the matching and accrual principle.
The discounted value of interest to be paid on maturity is recorded.
Further, there is a tax benefit on bond payments.
Answer:
The correct answer is Option D.
Explanation:
Internal control comprises the whole system of financial and other controls established and operating within a business, including internal check, internal audit and all other forms of control.
Based on Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) framework, there are 5 interrelated components of internal control, which are: Control environment, Risk assessment, Control activities, Information and communication and Monitoring.
It is necessary to stress that internal control relates to all forms of controls within an organization and not necessarily limited to only accounting matters e.g., a security check on vehicles exiting business premises to be sure they are not carrying stolen items from the organization is an internal control but not an accounting-related.
Answer:
D.
Municipal bond because the equivalent taxable yield is 6.6%
Explanation:
we should make the important difference that municipal bonds are tax free while corporate bonds don't.
Therefore we should solve for the after tax rate fo the corporate bond:
The corporate bond as a yield of 4.5% after taxes which is lower than the municipal bond. This make it more attractive
We can also solve for the pre-tax rate of the municipal bond:
the municipal bonds would be equivalent to a 6.6% corporate bonds.
This makes option D correct.
Answer:
a. $13
b. $20,625 Unfavorable
Explanation:
a. Computation of overhead volume variance is shown below:-
Variable overhead rate = Variable overhead cost ÷ Expected standard hours
= $275,000 ÷ 25,000
= 11 direct labor hour
Fixed overhead rate = Productive capacity ÷ Expected standard hours
= $50,000 ÷ 25,000
= $2 direct labor hour
Total overheard rate = Variable overhead rate + Fixed overhead rate
= $11 + $2
= $13
b. The computation of overhead controllable variance is shown below:-
Variable overhead cost = Overhead rate × Standard hours
= $11 × 21,875
= $240,625
Fixed overhead cost = Overhead rate × Standard hours
= $2 × 21,875
= $43,750
Total overhead cost = $13 × 21,875
= $284,375
Actual result = $305,000
Variance = Actual result - overhead cost applied
= $305,000 - $284,375
= $20,625 Unfavorable
Working note:-
Standard direct labor hours = Actual units ÷ Standard hours
= 35,000 × 1.6
= $21,875
Standard units per hour = (Standard capacity × Expected production) ÷ Standard hours
= (50,000 units × 80%) ÷ 25,000 hours
= 1.6 units per hour
