Answer:

1.3%

Explanation:

The real interest rate is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate from the nominal interest rate.

real interest rate=nominal interest rate-inflation rate

nominal interest rate=4.7%

inflation rate= 3.4%

real interest rate=4.7%-3.4%

real interest rate=1.3%

According to this, the answer is that the real interest rate is 1.3%.

Answer:

Project A's payback period = 2.23 years

Project B's payback period = 3.3 years

Explanation:

project A project B

initial investment $290,000 $210,000

useful life 6 years 11 years

yearly cash flow $83,653 + $46,500 $46,000 + $17,727

Bond J has a coupon rate of 3 percent and Bond K has a coupon rate of 9 percent. Both bonds have 13 years to maturity, make semi

noname [10]

Solution :

Given :

Coupon rate for Bond J = 3%

Coupon rate for Bond K = 9%

YTM = 6 %

Therefore,

The current price for Bond J = $ 718.54 =PV(6%/2,13x2,30/2,1000)x -1

The current price for Bond K = $ 1281.46 =PV(6%/2,13x2,90/2,1000)x -1

If the interest rate by 2%,

Bond J = $ 583.42 = -18.80% (change in bond price)

Bond K = $ 1083.32 = -15.46% (change in bond price)

Andrei [34K]

Answer: $2,000 favorable

Explanation:

Total variable overhead variance = Budgeted variable overhead - Actual total variable overhead

Budgeted variable overhead = Budgeted machine hours allowed for actual output * Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour

= 30,000 * 2.50

= $75,000

Total variable overhead variance = 75,000 - 73,000

= $2,000 favorable

Favorable because the actual amount was less than the budgeted one.
