Answer:
Correct option is B) $17.10
Total overhead rate per hour = $17.10
Explanation:
Overhead rates are based on cash outflow, they are not allocated and computed based on non cash items.
Total direct labor hours = 8,900
Thus total variable overhead rate = $5.50
Total cash fixed cost = $133,500 - $30,260 = $103,240
Fixed cost overhead rate = $103,240/8,900 = $11.60
Total overhead cost per hour = Variable overhead + Fixed Overhead = $5.50 + $11.60 = $17.10
Answer:
Using the current capital structure
Ke = Rf + β(Risk premium)
Ke = 5 + 1.60(6)
Ke = 5 + 9.60
Ke = 14.60
Weighted cost of equity
= 14.60(20/100)
= 2.92%
Using the new debt-equity ratio
Ke = 5 + 1.60(6)
Ke = 5 + 9.6
Ke = 14.60%
Weighted cost of equity
Ke = 14.60(60/100)
Ke = 8.76%
Difference in cost of equity
= 2.92% - 8.76%
= -5.8%
Explanation:
There is need to calculate the cost of equity based on capital asset pricing model where Rf represents risk-free rate, Rp denotes risk-premium and β refers to beta. Then, we will calculate the weighted cost of equity by multiplying cost of equity by the proportion of equity in the capital structure. We will also calculate the new weighted cost of equity by multiplying the cost of equity the new proportion of equity in the capital structure. Finally, we will deduct the new weighted cost of equity from the old weighted cost of equity.
The answer is: B) Buying securities (Bonds)
Money supply refers to the amount of money that circulated in the country. When government buy securities from the private sector, the money would be exchanged from the government's purse to the private sector's. If this occurs, the amount of money that circulated would be increased.
Answer:
An increase in sale for 90 units, will increase the net income for 1$,170
Explanation:
<em>We are not given with any information of additional cost or special price for this units, so we use the current values.</em>
So we simply multiply the contribution per unit by the increase in sale.
Contribution Margin x Δ sales = Δ income
13 x 90 = 1,170
Each unit contributes with 13 additional income, there are 90 additional units
Total income added 1,170
Answer:
The answer is: Yes, the student is right.
Explanation:
Some industries, especially agriculture, work on some unique ways due to their complexity. For instance, the government sets the price floor and the price ceiling for the main crops produced in the country. In order to do this, the government owns and manages huge warehouses and silos.
When the production of crops is higher than usual, the price of that crop will tend to drop because of excessive supply. The government then buys the crop to put a price floor and takes the overstock to its warehouses. That enables the government to control the market so that farmers get a "fair price" for their crops. If the government didn´t do anything, farmers would lose a lot of money and their customers (agricultural corporations) would probably overstock. That at the same time would cause further problems in the future due to lower future sales because the agricultural corporations companies are overstocked.
When farmers have a bad year due to drought or flooding, their production levels will fall, so the price of the crops would rise due to excessive demand. Then the government sells the crops it had stored previously in its warehouses to put a price ceiling. If the government didn´t do this then a lot of poor people would not be able to buy enough quantities of food.
