Answer:

The answer is: C) decrease; increase

Explanation:

When the US government guarantees a corporation´s bonds, you know the government will pay you back whatever happens. The US government has one of the best reputations in the world. So that will immediately decrease the interest rate of the corporation´s bond since it basically becomes a risk free investment.

The US government will absorb the risk from the corporation´s bonds, so depending on the total value of the bonds, the interest rate on Treasury securities might increase a little. For example, if the total amount of the bond emission was $20 billion for a corporation like Citigroup, the interest rate might increase a few points. If the amount wasn´t very large, probably the effect will go unnoticed, but there´s no chance the interest rate will decrease.

Pup tents use 4 direct labor hours (DLH) per unit and Pop-up tents use 3 direct labor hours per unit. Compute the overhead cost
lora16 [44]

a) The computation of the single plantwide predetermined overhead rate for Tent Master is $6 per DLH ($252,000/42,000).

b) The computation of the overhead cost per unit for Pup and Pop-up Tents for Tent Master is computed as follows:

                               Pup Tents     Pop-up Tents

Overhead cost     $24 ($6 x 4)    $18 ($6 x 3)

c) The computation of the product cost per unit for Pup and Pop-up Tents is as follows:

Per Unit      Selling     Direct     Direct  Overhead     Product

                    Price   Materials   Labor    per unit    Cost / Unit

Pup tent       $ 78         $ 20      $ 45        $24             $89

Pop-up tent    73             25         30         $18             $73

d) The computation of the gross profit per unit (selling price per unit minus the product cost per unit) of Pup and Pop-up Tents is as follows:

Per Unit      Selling     Direct    Direct  Overhead   Product    Gross Profit

                    Price   Materials  Labor    per unit   Cost / Unit  (Loss) per unit

Pup tent      $ 78       $ 20      $ 45         $24             $89     ($11) ($78 - $89)

Pop-up tent   73          25          30          $18             $73       $0 ($73 - $73)

<h3>What does a product cost?</h3>

The determination of the product cost includes the costs of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead.  The overhead cost is allocated to each unit based on a predetermined overhead rate (budgeted overheads/budgeted usage) or using an activity-based costing technique.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Budgeted overhead costs = $252,000

Budgeted direct labor hours = 42,000

<h3>Question Completion:</h3>

Tent Master produces Pup tents and Pop-up tents. The company budgets $252,000 of overhead cost and 42,000 direct labor hours. Additional information follows:

Per Unit      Selling Price  Direct Materials  Direct Labor  DL Hours

Pup tent          $ 78                   $ 20                   $ 45            4

Pop-up tent       73                       25                      30            3

<h3>Required: </h3>

1. Compute a single plantwide overhead rate assuming the company allocates overhead costs based on 42,000 direct labor hours.

2. Pup tents use 4 direct labor hours (DLH) per unit and Pop-up tents use 3 direct labor hours per unit. Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product.

3. Compute the product cost per unit for each product.

4. For each product, compute the gross profit per unit (selling price per unit minus the product cost per unit).

8-12 REQUIRED RATE OF RETURN Suppose rRF 9%, rM 14%, and bi 1 3. a. What is ri, the required rate of return on Stock i? b. Now s
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

a = 0.74 or 74%

b(1) = 0.75 or 75%

b(2) = 0.73 or 73%

c(1) = 1 or 1%

c(2) = 0.61 or 61%

Explanation:

The stock i has a risk free rate of 9% with a market return of 14% and beta of 13, using the formula we get,

ri = rRF + bi x (rM – rRF)

Where rRF=9/100=0.09

bi =13

rm =14/100=0.14

Putting the values into the formula

= 0.09 + 13 x (0.14 – 0.09)

= 0.74 or 74%

b. (1)

Ri = rRF + bi x (rM – rRF)= 0.10 + 13 x (0.14 – 0.09)= 0.75 or 75%

Here the slope of SML remains constant, meaning the market risk premium will not change. As a result, the required return will increase by 1%.

b(2)

Ri = rRF + bi x (rM – rRF)= 0.08 + 13 X (0.14 – 0.09)= 0.73 or 73%

Here, the slope of SML remains constant, meaning the market risk premium will not change. As a result the required return will decrease by 1%.

c. (1)

Ri = rRF + bi x (rM – rRF)= 0.09 + 13 x (0.16 – 0.09)= 1 or 1%

Here, the slope of SML does not remain constant, meaning the market risk premium will change. As a result, the required return will increase.

(2)Ri = rRF + bi x (rM – rRF)= 0.09 + 13 x (0.13 – 0.09)=0.61 or 61%

Here, the slope of SML remains constant, meaning the market risk premium will not change. As a result, the required return will decrease by 13%.

Cull Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The selling price for a unit in Job X455 is closest to a. $379.92

Explanation:

stimated total manufacturing overhead cost = Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost + (Estimated variable overhead cost per unit of the allocation base × Estimated total amount of the allocation base)

= $358,400 + ($2.30 per machine-hour × 56,000 machine-hours)

= $358,400 + $128,800 = $487,200.

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base

= $487,200 ÷ 56,000 machine-hours = $8.7 per machine-hour.

Overhead applied to a particular job

= Predetermined overhead rate × Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job

= $8.7 per machine-hour × 80 machine-hours = $696

Direct materials                                                          $810

Direct labor cost                                                       $1,620

Manufacturing overhead applied                             $696

Total cost of Job X455   (a)                                      $3,126

Number of units              (b)                                          10

Unit product cost                   (a) ÷ (b)                       $312.6

Markup (20% × $312.6)                                            $62.52

Selling price                                                             $375.12
