Answer:

a) The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing

Explanation:

The Feds fund rate is the rate at which banks borrow from each other usually overnight, while the discount rate is the interest rate charged by the Fed to commercial banks for borrowing directly from the Fed.

These borrowings help the commercial banks meet up their liquidity requirements.

The discount rate is higher than the Fed funds rate. This is to encourage banks to borrow from each other instead of borrowing directly from the Federal Reserve.

The Fed fund rate also tends to affect the prime lending rate (rate at which banks lend money to their clients).

So the statement - The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing. Is not correct

<u>Absorption vs Variable costing method</u>

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

<u>1) First, we need to calculate the total unitary variable cost:</u>

Unitary production variable cost= 35 + 55 + 40= $130

Selling and administrative costs for the year Variable $ 725,000

Unitary total variable cost= 130 + (725,000 / 80,000)= $139.06

<u>Now, the variable income statement:</u>

Sales= 80,000*350= 28,000,000

Total variable cost= (80,000*139.06)=(11,124,800)

Total contribution margin= 16,875,200

Fixed overhead= (6,600,000)

Fixed Selling and administrative costs = (4,250,000)

Net operating income= 6,025,200

<u>2) First, we need to calculate the unitary production cost:</u>

Unitary production cost= 130 + (6,600,000/110,000)= $190

<u>Now, the absorption costing income statement:</u>

<u />

Sales= 28,000,000

COGS= 80,000*190= (15,200,000)

Gross profit= 12,800,000

Total Selling and administrative costs= (725,000 + 4,250,000)= (4,975,000)

Net operating income= 7,825,000

The Lodge borrowed $2,000,000 for five years at an annual interest rate of 9% from the Merchant Bank, which required a $100,000
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

option (b) 9.5%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Loan Amount = $2,000,000

Annual interest rate = 9%

Required compensating balance = $100,000

Now,

Effective interest rate(EIR)

= (loan × Annual interest on loan) ÷ (Loan - Required compensating balance)

= ($2,000,000 × 9% ) ÷ ( $2,000,000 - $100,000 )

= ($2,000,000 × 0.09 ) ÷ ( $1,900,000 )

= 0.0947 ≈ 0.095

or

= 0.095 × 100%

= 9.5%

Hence,

the answer is option (b) 9.5%
