Answer:

Sales Price variance

$65,113,200

Sales Volume Variance

$239,200,000

Explanation:

sales price variance formula

( Actual Price - Standard Price) x Actual Units Sold

(26,300 - 26000) x 217,044

=$65,113,200 (Favourable)

Sales Volume Variance formula

(Actual Units Sold - Budgeted Units Sales) x Budgeted Selling Price.

(217,044 - 226,244) x $26000

= $239200000 (unfavorable)

Answer:

The answers are:

+ Sales price variance: $65,113,200

+ Sales volume variance: $(239,200,000)

Explanation:

We have detailed calculations shown as below:

Sales price variance = ( Actual unit sales price - budgeted unit sales price) x actual unit sold = ( 26,300 - 26,000) x 217,044 = $65,113,200;

Sales volume variance = ( Actual unit sold - Budgeted unit sold) x budgeted unit sales price = (217,044 - 226,244) x 26,000 = $(239,200,000).

So, for BMW recent year, we have:

+ Sales price variance: $65,113,200;

+ Sales volume variance: $(239,200,000).

Alma owns fifty shares of common stock in Alpha Corporation. Alma also owns eighty shares of preferred stock in the same corpora

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Given the situation described above, Alma will be able to cast <u>50 votes</u>.

This is because common stock gives voting rights to shareholders. And given that Alma has 50 shares of common stocks. Therefore, he would be able to cast 50 votes.

On the other hand, preferred stocks give no voting rights to shareholders.

However, preferred shareholders have preference over a company's revenue or earnings, which implies that they are paid dividends before common shareholders.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is "50 votes."

Suppose Yamahonda, a Japanese-owned motorcycle manufacturer, builds a production plant in Alabama. This is an example of foreign

Alika [10]

Answer:

The statement is true, as it is an example of foreign direct investment.

Explanation:

Foreign direct investment is the direct investment by individuals or legal persons in production or business operations abroad. In this context, investments include both acquisition of foreign operations and expansion of own operations.

Foreign direct investment does not include the purchase of either shares or bonds per se. More specifically, the IMF has restricted direct investment on acquisitions to cases where the foreign investor owns 10% or more of the shares that give administrative rights in the business. Investment funds that can be classified as foreign direct investments therefore include equity deposits, reinvestments of dividends from the business, as well as the allocation of short-term and long-term loans between parent companies and subsidiaries.

A bond has a face value of $1,000, a coupon of 4% paid annually, a maturity of 30 years, and a yield to maturity of 7%. What rat

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

-11.8%

Explanation:

the key to answer this question is to remember that valuation of a bond depends basically of calculating the present value of a series of cash flows, so let´s think about a bond as if you were a lender so you will get interest by the money you lend (coupon) and at the end of n years you will get back the money you lend at the beginnin (principal), so applying math we have the bond value given by:

$price=\frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{1} }+ \frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{2} } \frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{3} }+...+\frac{principal+principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{n} }$

so in this particular case that one year later there are 29 years to maturity so we have:

$price=\frac{1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{1} }+ \frac{1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{2} } \frac{1000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{3} }+...+\frac{1,000+1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{30} }$

$price=553.6638$

so as we have a higher rate the investment has the next return:

$return=\frac{553.66}{627.73} -1$

$return=-11.8\%$

Dahasolnce [82]

It is called value factor. There are two kinds of value factor one is present value factor and second is future value factor. The business or anything in the business has their value on their own. The future value factor is used to calculate the future value of the amount per dollar of its present value. It is the amount greater than a dollar and you can see this on the table when you calculate the future value or FV. Present Value factor is based on the time and money when you borrow or it is the debt that can grow in the span of time.
