Answer:

a. $955.20

b. $2.7579 x 10¹⁷

Explanation:

a. Simple interest

The value in 2014 of the investment at a 10% simple interest rate is:

S= \$24 + \$24*0.10*(2014-1626)\\S=\$955.20

b. Compound interest

The value in 2014 of the investment at a 10% compound interest rate is:

C= \$24(1.10)^{(2014-1626)}\\C=\$2.7579*10^{17}

Answer:

Tharaldson Corporation

The materials quantity variance for June is:__________

= $1,480

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                        Standard Quantity    Standard Price     Standard Cost

                                 or Hours                or Rate                  Per Unit

Direct materials      7.4 ounces       $2.00 per ounce          $14.80

Direct labor             0.3 hours        $18.00 per hour              $5.40

Variable overhead 0.3 hours          $7.00 per hour              $2.10

Reported Results in June:

Originally budgeted output 2,800 units

Actual output 2,900 units

Raw materials used in production 20,600 ounces

Purchases of raw materials 21,700 ounces

Actual direct labor-hours 490 hours

Actual cost of raw materials purchases $42,200

Actual direct labor cost $12,800

Actual variable overhead cost $3,400

Materials quantity variance = (Actual quantity - Budgeted quantity) * standard rate

= (2,900 - 2,800) * $14.80

= $1,480

= (2,900 - 2,800) * 7.4 * $2

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: B. Maintaining a steady dividend is a key goal of most dividend-paying companies.

Explanation:

Companies that pay dividends prefer in general, to maintain a steady dividend overtime. This does not necessarily mean that they will pay the same amount of dividend but rather that they will pay out dividends as within a certain percentage range of the net income.

Companies do not prefer to cut dividends so as not to send the wrong message so A is wrong. Share repurchases reduces agency costs so C is wrong. Short term fluctuations in cash flow are not the key favor in determining dividend policy as the company might still pay out the same regardless so this is wrong as well. Option B is the best answer.
