Answer:

Laurel bond % change = -6.6%

Hardy bond % change = -16.3%

Explanation:

current bond price $1,000

interest rate 7%

Laurel bond matures in 4 years, 8 semiannual payments

Hardy bonds matures in 15 years, 30 semiannual payments

if market interest increases to 9%

Laurel bond:

$1,000 / (1 + 4.5%)⁸ = $703.19

$35 x 6.59589 (annuity factor, 4.5%, 8 periods) = $230.86

market price = $934.05

% change = -6.6%

Hardy bond:

$1,000 / (1 + 4.5%)³⁰ = $267.00

$35 x 16.28889(annuity factor, 4.5%, 30 periods) = $570.11

market price = $837.11

% change = -16.3%

Outose Concept manufactures small tables in its Processing Department. Direct materials are added at the initiation of the produ
True [87]

Answer:

C) $25,177

Explanation:

Spoiled units = (22,300 units + 76,400) - (72,900 units + 19,000)

=$98,700units -$91,900 units

= 6800 units

Normal spoilage = 5% × 72,900 units

= 3,645 spoiled units

Abnormal spoilage = 6800 units - 3645 units

= 3,155 units

Direct Materials ,Conversion Costs

WIP, beginning inventory$156,000$77,200

Costs added

during period 224,400 299,000

Total cost to account for 380,400 376,200

Divide by equivalent units*98,700 91,100

Equivalent-unit costs $3.85 $4.13

Equivalent unit

Direct Materials: 22,300 + 76,400 = 98,700 units

Conversion Costs: 72,900 + (19,000 x 60%) + 6800 = 91,100 units

Total cost per equivalent unit = $3.85 + $4.13 = $7.98

3155 units × $7.98 = $25,177

Therefore the cost allocated to abnormal spoilage using the weighted-average process-costing method will be $25,177
