Answer:
The correct answer for option (a) is 28.29% and for option (B) is 2.65%.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:
Initial price = $117
Ending price = $147
Dividend = $3.10
(a) We can calculate the Total return percentage by using following formula:
Total return percentage = ( Ending Price - Initial Price + Dividend) ÷ Initial Price
By putting the value, we get
Total return percentage = ( $147 - $117 + $3.10) ÷ ( $117)
= 28.29% (approx).
(b). we can calculate the dividend yield by using following formula:
Dividend Yield = Dividend ÷ Initial Price
By putting the value, we get
Dividend Yield = $3.10 ÷ $117
= 2.65%
Answer:
D) $600,000
Explanation:
The double-declining-balance method of depreciation = Depreciation factor x cost of asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life of the asset)
Depreciation factor = 2 / 5 = 0.4
Deprecation expense = 0.4 x $1,500,000 = $600,000

Answer:
The journal entry is as follows:
Explanation:
January 5 Patent A/c..................Dr $100,000
To Cash A/c............Cr $100,000
As patent is purchased so asset is increasing and any increase in asset would be debited. Therefore, patent account is debited. And it is purchased against cash and decrease in asset is credited. Therefore, cash account is credited.
December 31 Amortization expense- Patent................Dr $5,000
To Accumulated Amortization- Patent........Cr $5,000
Working Note:
Patent Cost is $100,000
Useful life is 20 years
Amortization expense = Patent Cost / Useful life of asset
= $100,000 / 20
= $5,000
Answer:
The product cost for 24,500 units is $497,350.
Explanation:
The reason is that the the product cost always includes all the variable production cost and specific fixed production cost. In this scenario, direct material cost, direct labor cost, variable manufacturing overhead cost are variable production cost whereas the fixed manufacturing cost is specific fixed production cost which will form part of product cost. The remainder of the cost left is period cost.
Direct materials (24,500 * $7.7 per unit) $188,650
Direct labor (24,500 * $4.7 per unit) $115,150
Variable manufacturing overhead (24,500 * $2.2 per unit) $53,900
Fixed manufacturing overhead (24,500 * $5.7 per unit) <u>$139,650 </u>
Total product costs $497,350
Answer:
Explanation:
In the former case that is investment in security that pays interest of 8% per year for the next 2 years , there is provision of fixed interest rate . That means one can be assured of interest rate of 8 % for two years but he can not get benefit of market fluctuation if interest rate if it rises above 8 % after one year .
In case of investment in security that matures in 1 year but pays only 6% interest , one can take the benefit of market fluctuation if interest rate rises above 8 % . So if there is likelihood that interest rate can rise above 8 % in future , one should invest in 6% security for one year and reinvest it after one year , in the same security or in other security which fetches higher rate of interest .
Apart from that , if there is a contingent liability of paying after one year , one can not go in for 2 year security as it will have to break prematurely , that will result in loss of interest .
So due to situation described above, one should prefer investment in one year security .
