Answer:
$7.38
Explanation:
The average cost method recalculates a new cost per unit with each and every purchase made. This new costs would then be used to calculate the costs of goods sold and inventory value.
Average cost per unit = Total Costs ÷ Units available for sale
= (200 x $7 + 800 x $7 + 600 x $8) ÷ 1,600
= $7.375 or $7.38
The average cost per unit for May is $7.38
Answer:
Explanation:
Definition of simple terminologies ;
- A contractual agreement is an agreement which is made on future exchanges in order to buy or sell goods at a fixed price at a specified time period.
- LIBOR stands for London interbank offered rate which is the rate at which banks borrow money from other banks in london market. this rate is a fixed term by the british bankers association.
a) The implied LIBOR of the September Eurodollar futures of 96.4 is = 100 96.4 /400-=0.9%
(b) As we want to borrow money, it implies buying protection against high interest rates, which means low Eurodollar future prices. We will short the Eurodollar contract.
c) Number of contact to be entered into = One Eurodollar contract which is based on a $1 million 3-month deposit. As such, entering into hedge a loan of $50M, will automatically implies entering into 50 short contracts.
d) A true 3-month LIBOR of 1% means an annualized position (annualized by market conventions) of 1% x 4 = 4%. Therefore, our 50 short contracts will pay: [96.4 − (100 − 4) × 100 × $25] × 50 = $50,000.
The increased interest rate has made the loan more expensive as such, the loss to exposure will be compensated hence we have to pay the following amount ; ($50,000,000 x 0.01) - $50,000
= $450,000
Answer:
- Invest $8,470 in X
- Invest $2,530 in Y.
Explanation:
The following expressions can be formed;
Let x and y be the proportions
x + y = 1
0.15x + 0.1y = 13.85%
Expressing y in terms of x;
x + y = 1
y = 100 - x
0.15x + 0.1 ( 1 - x) = 13.85%
0.15x + 0.1 - 0.1x = 13.85%
0.05x = 13.85% - 0.1
x = 13.85%0.05 - 0.1/0.05
x = 77%
Invest 77% in X = 77% * 11,000
= $8,470
Invest in Y
= 11,000 - 8,470
= $2,530
Answer:
If Blue ridge decides to purchase the parts instead of manufacturing them, their total costs will increase by $21,300
Explanation:
currently Blue Ridge's costs are:
variable costs = $69,000
fixed costs = $69,000
total $138,000
total cost per unit = $138,000 / 45,000 units = $3.0667 per unit
if Blue Ridge decide to outsource the production of the parts:
variable costs = 45,000 x $4 = $180,000
decrease in fixed costs = $69,000 x -30% = -$20,700
total costs = $159,300
If Blue ridge decides to purchase the parts instead of manufacturing them, their total costs will increase by ⇒ $159,300 - $138,000 = $21,300
