Answer:

Standard quantity = Actual units produced × 0.50 pound per unit

                              = 54,120 × 0.50

                              = 27,060 pounds

Standard hours = Actual units produced × 1/6 hour per unit

                          = 54,120 × 1/6

                          = 9,020 hours

Actual rate per hour = $186, 660 ÷ 9,150 hours

                                  = $20.4

(a) (i) Direct material price variance:

= (AQ × AP) - (AQ × SP)

= (30,000 × $5.15) - (30,000 × $5.10)

= $154,500 - $153,000

= $1,500 Unfavorable

(ii) Direct material quantity variance:

= (AQ × SP) - (SQ × SP)

= (30,000 × $5.10) - (27,060 × $5.10)

= $153,000 - $138,006

= $14,994 Unfavorable

(b) (i) Direct labor rate variances:

= (AH × AR) - (AH × SR)

= (9,150 × $20.4) - (9,150 × $21.40)

= $186,660 - $195,810

= $9,150 Favorable

(ii) Direct labor efficiency variances:

= (AH × SR) - (SH × SR)

= (9,150 × $21.40) - (9,020 × $21.40)

= $195,810 - $193,028

= $2,782 Unfavorable

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:  b. ​Economies of Scope

Explanation:

Economies of Scope refers to a situation where a company is able to reduce the cost of producing two or more goods by combining their production thereby leading to savings in the production process.

Economies of Scope in effect points out that there are some goods that when produced in tandem with another, lead to a cost reduction which means that its savings is <em>based on variety</em>.

Goods that usually achieve Economies of Scope are goods that are compliments, produced by similar methods or use similar inputs for production.

Firm A merging with Firm B produced the 5 radios and batteries cheaper so the new company is experiencing Economies of Scope.

What return do you expect earn if you buy the 3 years ,10% coupon bond today and sell it in exactly 1 year( if current price is
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

8.02%

Explanation:

Since corporate bonds pay coupons semiannually, it would be important to first all determine the semiannual yield to maturity of this bond using a financial calculator as shown below:

We need to set the calculator to its end mode before making the following inputs:

N=6(number of semiannual coupons in 3 years=3*2=6)

PMT=50(semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate/2=1000*10%/2=50)

PV=-1051.45 (current price)

FV=1000(bond's face value)

CPT

I/Y=4.02%

After one year, there would 4 semiannual coupons left, we can compute the bond price as shown thus:

N=4

PMT=50

I/Y=4.02(without % sign)

FV=1000

CPT

PV=1,035.56

The expected rate of return over one year is computed thus:

N=2(number of semiannual coupons in 1 year holding period)

PMT=50(the amount of each semiannual coupon)

PV= -1051.45

FV=1,035.56(selling price after one year)

CPT=4.01%(on a semiannual basis)

annual rate of return=4.01%*2=8.02%
