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.

Banc Corp. Trust is considering either a bankwide overhead rate or department overhead rates to allocate $396,000 of indirect co
Viktor [21]

Answer:

(A) $144,000.

Explanation:

For computing the indirect costs allocated to the Commercial Department first we have to compute the per unit cost which is shown below:

Per unit cost = (Allocated department overhead indirect cost) ÷ (total number of direct labor hours)

=  $396,000 ÷ 22,000

= $18

The total number of direct labor hours = Consumer + commercial

                                                                = 14,000 + 8,000

                                                                = 22,000

Now the indirect cost equal to

= Per unit cost × Commercial direct labor hours

= $18 × 8,000

= $144,000

grigory [225]

Answer:

$1,240,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Net income = $1,000,000

Pretax foreign currency translation adjustment = $400,000

Unrealized pretax loss on debt securities = $80,000

Effective tax rate = 25%

Total other comprehensive income:

= Foreign currency translation adjustment - Loss on debt securities

= [$400,000 × (1 - 25%)] - [$80,000 × (1 - 25%)]

= ($400,000 × 0.75) - ($80,000 × 0.75)

= $300,000 - $60,000

= $240,000

Comprehensive income:

= Net income + Total other comprehensive income

= $1,000,000 + $240,000

= $1,240,000

Explanation:

Note: There are two requirements in this question as follows:

(1) What is the total amount of product costs?

(2) What is the total amount of period costs?

These two are answered as follows:

(1) What is the total amount of product costs?

Product cost can be described as the expenses that are incurred in order to produce a product. These types of expenses are charged to cost of goods sold and include direct materials, direct labor, factory overhead, and consumable production supplies.

Therefore, the total amount of product costs of Choco Chocolata can be calculated as follows:

Choco Chocolata

Utilities for the bakery                                                  2,100

Paper used in packaging product                                  180

Salaries and wages in the bakery                            23,500

Cookie ingredients                                                    43,500

Bakery labor fringe benefits                                        1,300

Bakery equipment maintenance                                   800

Idle Time                                                                  <u>        500  </u>

Total                                                                          <u>   79,430   </u>

Therefore, the total amount of product costs is $79,430.

(2) What is the total amount of period costs?

Period costs are costs that are related to passage of time but cannot not be charged to the cost of goods sold.

Therefore, the total amount of period costs of Choco Chocolata can be calculated as follows:

Choco Chocolata
