Answer:

Reinvestment risk

Explanation:

The mortgage banker would be most concerned about reinvestment risk, among other risks. Reinvestment risk relates to the inability to earn an original interest rate on an investment from periodic cash flows from the investment, thus limiting the overall rate of return on the investment.

In the question, since market mortgage rate has declined to 7.5%, the mortgage bank would have to reinvest the amount repaid from the original borrower at the new market rate, which is 1% lower than the ruling rate when the original borrower took the loan.

The problem would be compounded if the cost of funding to the mortgage bank was, for instance 8%. If that was the case, on the original loan, the mortgage bank was earning a (8.5% less 8% cost of funding =) 0.5% on the loan. However, due to the decline in market rates, the mortgage bank would have a cost of 8% compare to a market rate of 7.5% it would earn, thus resulting in a negative return of 0.5%.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The per-unit standards for direct labor are 2 direct labor hours at $15 per hour. If in producing 1800 units, the actual direct labor cost was $48000 for 3000 direct labor hours worked.

We need to calculate the total direct labor variance, using two formulas:

Direct labor efficiency variance= (SQ - AQ)*standard rate

Direct labor efficiency variance= (1,800*2 - 3,000)*15= $9,000 favorable

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Direct labor rate variance= (15 - 48,000/3,000)*3,000= $3,000 unfavorable

Total direct labor variance= 9,000 - 3,000= $6,000 favorable

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

inventory impairment/cost of good sold (p/l)   $500

Explanation:

IAS 2 requires that inventory be initially recognized at cost including cost of purchase and other necessary cost incurred in getting the inventory to the location where it becomes available for sale.

Subsequently, the item of inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value (NRV).

              Quantity    Unit Cost     Unit NRV      Lower of cost/NRV  Amount

Model A    100               $100              $ 120       $100                       $10,000

Model B      50                $50               $ 40        $40                         $2,000

Model C      20                $200             $210        $200                      $4,000

Adjustment required = 50 ($50 - $40)

=$500
