<h2>Question:</h2>

As the data in incomplete, lets consider the data found on the net for the same question

DATE         LIBOR

week 1        1.98%

week 2       1.64%

week 3       1.54%

week 4       1.31%

week 5       1.57%

week 6       1.69%

week 7       1.66%

week 8       1.94%

week 9       1.92%

(This data in not given in the question. If some values differ from this data, just change the that value in the method below and you'll get your answer)

<h2></h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

Floating rate = 0.25%

Maximum rate = 2.24%

Minimum rate = 1.71%

General formula for for finding rate of interest of a week

Week Rate = Previous Week's Rate (LIBOR from table) + Floating Rate

Lets find the values:

Week 2 rate  = Week 1 rate + 0.25%   = 1.98% + 0.25% = 2.23%

Week 3 rate  = Week 2 rate + 0.25%  = 1.64% + 0.25% = 1.89%

Week 4 rate  = Week 3 rate + 0.25%  = 1.54% + 0.25% = 1.79%

Week 5 rate  = Week 4 rate + 0.25%  = 1.31% + 0.25% = 1.56%

Week 5 rate is lower than the minimum rate, rate of Week 5 can be taken as minimum rate

Week 5 rate = 1.71%

Week 6 rate  = Week 5 rate + 0.25%  = 1.57% + 0.25% = 1.82%

Week 7 rate  = Week 6 rate + 0.25%  = 1.69% + 0.25% = 1.94%

Week 8 rate  = Week 7 rate + 0.25%  = 1.66% + 0.25% = 1.91%

Week 9 rate  = Week 8 rate + 0.25%  = 1.94% + 0.25% = 2.19%

Week 10 rate = Week 9 rate + 0.25%  = 1.92% + 0.25% = 2.17%

A favorable materials price variance coupled with an unfavorable material usage variance would most likely result from:
Masteriza [31]
The purchase of low-quality materials would most likely the result of a favorable materials price variance coupled with an unfavorable material usage variance. Material price variance is the difference between the cost and the budgeted and actual cost to obtain an object or materials, multiply to the total amount of the product purchased. They are what you called positive value of direct material price and negative value of direct material price. A positive value of direct material price variance is the one that is favorable and it means that the direct material was purchased for a lesser price than the standard price. A negative value of direct material price variance is the one that is unfavorable and it means that more than the expected price per unit is paid.

An existing electrical power line needs to have its capacity increased, and this can be done in either of two ways. The first me
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

3 years

Explanation:

<u>First method</u>

The PV of the investment can be written as:

PV1 = $15,000 + $32,500/(1+0.06)^n

<u>Second method</u>

The PV of the investment can be written as:

PV2 = $23,000 + $23,000/(1+0.06)^n

After n years both projects will be economically equal. Hence their present value must be equal PV1 = PV2

$15,000 + $32,500/(1.06)^n = $23,000 + $23,000/(1.06)^n

$23,000 - $15,000 = $32,500/(1.06)^n - $23,000/(1.06)^n

$8,000 = $9,500/(1.06)^n

(1.06)^n = $9,500/$8,000

(1.06)^n = 1.1875

Taking log on both sides we get:

nlog1.06 = log 1.1875

n = log 1.1875/log 1.06

n = 0.07463361829/0.02530586526

n = 2.94926166417121

n = 3

So, the answer is 3 years

Zorn Co. budgeted $600,000 of factory overhead cost for the coming year. Its plantwide allocation base, machine hours, is budget
Amanda [17]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Given: Total budgeted factory overhead cost = $600000.

           Plantwide allocation base=  100000 hours.

Now, finding plantwide factory overhead rate.

Formula; Plantwide factory overhead rate= \frac{total\ budgeted\ factory\ overhead\ costs }{plantwide\ allocation\ base.}

⇒ Plantwide factory overhead rate= \frac{600000}{100000} = \$ 6 per\ hours

Hence, Zorn´s plantwide factory overhead rate is $6 per hour not $3 per hour.
