Answer:
Explanation:
Use Future value formula for the calculation of number of years
Future Value = Present value ( 1 + interest rate )^number of years
FV = PV ( 1 + r )^n
$500,000 = $200,000 ( 1 + 10.5% )^n
$500,000 / $200,000 = ( 1 + 0.105 )^n
2.5 = ( 1.105 )^n
log 2.5 = n log 1.105
n = log 2.5 / log 1.105
n = 9.1771
n = 9 years 2 months
Answer:
C. A firm to be able to segment its customers based on different price elasticities of demand
Answer:
markup 200% over cost
selling price 75 dollars
Explanation:
investment 500,000
return on investment : 10%
500,000 x 10% = 50,000
units producted: 1,000
markup per unit: 50,000 / 1,000 = 50 dollar
the markup will be: 25 * X = 50
X = 2 = 200%
selling price: 25 + 50 = 75
75
Answer:
Given that,
Operator bought a futures contract = 5,000 kilograms of rice at $1.50 per kilogram
Initial margin = $4,000
Maintenance margin = $2,000
(a)
(i) Balance of Margin = Initial margin - maintenance margin
= $4,000 - $2,000
= $2,000 (loss)
(ii) Change in price = 
= $0.40
(b) Price per kilogram = Current price - Change in Price
= $1.50 - $0.40
= $1.10
So, change price per kg is $1.10
(c) Balance of Margin = Initial margin - maintenance margin
= $4,000 + $2,000
= $6,000 (loss)
Change in price =
= $0.40
(d) Price per kg = Current price - change in price
= $1.50 + $0.40
= $1.90
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
