Answer:

(a) $9,000 per employee

(b) $252,000; $198,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Fringe benefits cost during 2018 = $450,000

Employees assigned to division A = 28

Employees assigned to division B = 22

(a) Allocation rate:

= Total cost to be allocated ÷ Cost driver

= $450,000 ÷ 50

= $9,000 per employee

(b) Cost assigned to A:

= Division Allocation Rate × Weight of base (No. of employees)

= $9,000 × 28

= $252,000

Cost assigned to B:

= Division Allocation Rate × Weight of base (No. of employees)

= $9,000 × 22

= $198,000

The graph above shows how the price of video games varies with the demand quantity. Suppose that the price of video games is set
ira [324]
Price floor.
A floor, in real life, is at the bottom, below you — this then makes sense in business to say that a ‘floor’ represents the minimum value of something — in this case the price of video games.
In real life, a ceiling is above you, indicating that it could be used as a representative of a maximum value of something, like the price of a video game.

So, if we were to say that $120 was the ‘price ceiling’ for video games, then we would basically be saying that $120 is the most a video game could cost. If we were to say that $100 was the ‘price floor’ for video games, we would be saying that $100 is the minimum value that the price of a video game could assume.

Suppose the September Eurodollar futures contract has a price of 96.4. You plan to borrow $50m for 3 months in September at LIBO
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

Definition of simple terminologies ;

  • A contractual agreement is an agreement which is made on future exchanges in order to buy or sell goods at a fixed price at a specified time period.
  • LIBOR stands for London interbank offered rate which is the rate at which  banks borrow money from other banks in london market. this rate is a fixed term by the british bankers association.

a) The implied LIBOR of the September Eurodollar futures of 96.4 is =  100 96.4 /400-=0.9%

(b) As we want to borrow money, it implies buying protection against high interest rates, which means low Eurodollar future prices. We will short the Eurodollar contract.

c) Number of contact to be entered into = One Eurodollar contract which is based on a $1 million 3-month deposit. As such, entering into hedge a loan of $50M, will automatically implies entering into 50 short contracts.

d) A true 3-month LIBOR of 1% means an annualized position (annualized by market conventions) of 1% x 4 = 4%. Therefore, our 50 short contracts will pay: [96.4 − (100 − 4) × 100 × $25] × 50 = $50,000.

The increased interest rate has  made the loan more expensive as such, the loss to exposure  will be compensated hence we have to pay the following amount ; ($50,000,000 x 0.01) - $50,000

= $450,000

At December 31, Gill Co. reported accounts receivable of $238,000 and an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $600 (credit) b
Firlakuza [10]

Answer: $7,740

Explanation:

Given, At December 31, Accounts receivable = $238,000

Allowance for uncollectible accounts = 3% of (accounts receivable)

∴ Allowance for uncollectible accounts = 3% of ($238,000 )

=$(0.03 ×238,000)                [3% = 0.03]

= $ (7140)

= $7,140

Allowance for uncollectible accounts (credit) before any adjustments= $600

The amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts = Allowance for uncollectible accounts +  $600

= $7,140 +  $600

= $7,740

Hence, The amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts would be: <u>$7,740.</u>
