Answer:

the Expected rate of return will be 8.2%

the variance will be 0.001296

Explanation:

We will calculate the Expected Rate of Return which is the sum of the wieghted return based on their probabilities:

return of 0.15 probability 20%  =  0.03

return of 0.07 probability 70% =  0.049

return of 0.03 probability 10% =   0.003

              expected return        =   0.082 = 8.2%

Now to calculate the variance we do:

∑(rk-ERR)^2 x pk

The sum of the difference between the expected rate and the escenario rate, power two, and multiply by their posibility

(0.15-0.082)^{2}\times0.20+(0.07-0.082)^{2}\times0.70+(0.03-0.082)^{2}\times0.10

the variance will be: 0.001296

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units manufactured= 2,400

Units sold= 2,000

Sales= $2,150,000

Manufacturing costs:

Direct materials= $960,000

Direct labor= $420,000

Variable manufacturing cost= $156,000

Fixed manufacturing cost= $288,000

Total= $1,824,000

Selling and administrative expenses:

Variable= $204,000

Fixed= $96,000

Total= $300,000

<u>Under the absorption costing, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the direct materials, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.</u>

First, we need to calculate the cost of goods sold:

Unitary product cost= total cost/units produced

Unitary product cost= 1,824,000/2,400= $760

Now, we can determine the net operating income:

Sales= 2,150,000

COGS= (2,000*760)= (1,520,000)

Gross profit= 630,000

Total Selling and administrative expenses= (300,000)

Net operating income= 330,000

- This type of fraud can be prevented by rotating employees that handle check issuance to vendors, review of budget versus actual expenditure, monitoring of audit trail to see if beneficiary was changed, daily statement download for reconciliation, and restriction of functions for example a employee that issues checks should not also reconcile bank statement.

Explanation:

Check tampering is a very common fraud that involves changing the beneficiary of a valid check so that funds can be diverted.

In the given scenario the accounts payable clerk was able to change checks to his name in order to divert $10,000. This was only discovered by chance when an employee noticed the change in name.

Various internal control measures can be taken to prevent this and they are listed above

Cost of Debt. Micro Spinoffs Inc. issued 20-year debt a year ago at par value with a coupon rate of 8%, paid annually. Today, th
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

5.925%

Explanation:

For computing the cost of debt, first we have to determine the YTM by using the Rate formula that is shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Present value = $1,050

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 8%  = $80

NPER = 20 year - 1 year = 19 year

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  

1. The pretax cost of debt is 7.50%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 7.50% × ( 1 - 0.21)

= 5.925%
