Answer: 1. $690 (favorable)
2. $9045 (favorable)
Explanation: These can be computed as follows :-
Labor rate variance = Actual labor cost - (standard rate * actual hours)
= $139,380 - ( $20.1 * 6900 hours )
= $690 (favorable)
.
Labor efficiency variance = ( Actual hours - standard hours ) * (standard rate )
= [6900 hours - (1500 units * 4.3 hours) ] * ($20.1)
= $9045 (favorable)
Answer: False
Explanation:
The real interest rate is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.
If the nominal interest rate was made with inflation in mind and this inflation is less than anticipated, the real rate will be higher not lower than expected.
For instance: Assume the nominal rate is 8% and the two parties assumed inflation would be 4%. Real rate would be:
= 8 - 4 = 4%
If inflation is instead 2%, real rate would be:
= 8 - 2 = 6%
Real rate would be higher than anticipated.
Answer:
The price of the bond is $1000. Thus, option a is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The price of a bond is calculated using the present value of the interest payments made by the bond, which is in the form of an annuity, plus the present value of the face value of the bond. The present value is calculated by discounting the annuity of interest and the face value by the YTM or yield to maturity. In case YTM is not provided, we assume that it is same as or equal to the coupon rate paid by the bond.
The formula for the price of the bond is attached.
Bond Price = 25 * [(1 - (1+0.025)^-8) / 0.025] + 1000 / (1+0.025)^8
Bond Price = $1000
