Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of price (expressed as a percentage of the face​ value) is shown below:-

Price = Face value ÷ (1 + Yield to maturity)^Number of the compounding period

= $1,000 ÷ (1 + 0.0323)^1

= $1,000 ÷ 1.0323

= $968.71

Price expected as a percentage to a face value = Price ÷ Face value × 100

= $968.71 ÷ $1,000 × 100

= 96.87%

b. The computation of credit spread of AAA-rated corporate​ bonds is shown below:-

Credit spread = Yield of AAA-rated corporate bond - Yield of treasury bond

= 3.23% - 3.15%

= 0.08%

c. The computation of credit spread on B-rated corporate bonds is shown below:-

Credit spread = Yield of B-rated corporate bond - Yeld of treasury bond

= 4.94% - 3.15%

= 1.79%

d. The credit rating for a bond changes with its respective credit risk change. That implies the bond 's rating would be lower the lower risk, and likewise.  

The investor is demanding higher returns on risky bonds for additional risk-taking. Hence the credit spread is widening as the rating of bonds falls with an increase in the risk.

Delvig [45]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Martinez company's relevant range production is 7,500 units to 12,500 units. When it produces and sells 10,000 units, its average costs per unit are as follows:-

                                                                 Average cost per unit

Direct materials                                                 $7.00

Direct labor                                                        $4.50

Variable manufacturing overhead                   $1.40

Fixed manufacturing overhead                        $4.00

Fixed selling expense                                       $4.00

Fixed administrative expense                          $2.10

Sales commissions                                            $1.10

Variable administrative expense                      $0.55

If 8,000 units are produced,

a) what is the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost incurred to support this level of production

b) What is this total amount expressed on a per unit basis

Answer:

a) the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost incurred to support this level of production is $51,200

b) What is this total amount expressed on a per unit basis is $6.40

Explanation:

a)

Given that;

number of units produced is 8,000 units

Variable manufacturing overhead is $1.40

Variable manufacturing overhead cost will be units produced / Variable manufacturing overhead

so Variable manufacturing overhead cost = 8000 units × $1.40 =  $11,200

Now  Fixed manufacturing overhead cost = 10000 units × $4 = $ 40,000

Total manufacturing overhead cost is the addition of Variable manufacturing overhead cost and Fixed manufacturing overhead cost

$11,200 + $40,000 = $51,200

b)

Number of units produced = 8,000

therefore Manufacturing overhead per unit = Total manufacturing overhead cost / Number of units produced

51,200 / 8,000 = $6.40
