Answer:

Correct option is (c)

Explanation:

Market interest rate and price of the bond are inversely related.if market interest rate falls and is lesser than stated interest rate (coupon rate), then the bond becomes attractive and its price increases. So, bond can be solved at present higher than the maturity value. This is the reason bond is redeemed before maturity.

On the other hand, if market rate increases, bond becomes less attractive as investors can earn more by investing at market interest rate. So price of bond falls and there is no point redeeming it before maturity.

c. Project Nuts

Explanation:

a. The formula to compute the payback period is shown below:

= Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow

For project soup, it would be

= $600,000 ÷ $150,000

= 4 years

For project nuts, it would be

= $900,000 ÷ $213,000

= 4.22 years

b. The computation of the Net present value is shown below

= Present value of all yearly cash inflows after applying discount factor - initial investment

For project soup, it would be

= $568,650 - $600,000

= -$31,350

The present value is computed below:

= Annual cash flow × pvifa for 5 years at 10%

= $150,000 × 3.791

= $568,650

For project nuts, it would be

= $927,615 - $900,000

= $27,615

The present value is computed below:

= Annual cash flow × pvifa for 6 years at 10%

= $213,000 × 4.355

= $927,615

Kindly refer pvifa table

c. The project Nuts should be accepted as it has positive net present value.

Work in process, April 30 = Balance + Direct material + Direct labor + Factory overhead - Cost of finished goods

= $4,000 + 24,000 + 16,000 + 12,800 - 48,000

= $8,800

Job No 5 = Work in process, April 30 = $8,800

Job No 5 = Direct material + Direct labor + Factory overhead

$8,800 = Direct material + $2,000 + $1,600 ($2,000 * 80%)

Direct material = $8,800 - $2,000 - $1,600

= $5,200

Therefore, The amount of direct materials charged to Job No. 5 is $5,200.
