Answer: b. The duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets
Explanation:
Since the company wants to structure its assets and liabilities such that its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk, then the duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets.
It should be noted that when the duration of its liabilities is shorter than the duration of its assets, the duration gap is positive and when there's a rise in interest rate, the worth of assets will be affected more.
When duration of its liabilities is longer than the duration of its assets, the duration gap is negative and when there's a rise in interest rate, the worth of liabilities will be affected more.
Finally, when the duration of its liabilities is equal the duration of its assets, its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk.
Answer: B) A loss of $200,000 on its income statement in the year the bonds are called.
Explanation:
The bonds were issued at Par. This means they were issued at 100 of par.
The bonds are now trading at 104 of par.
If Sand Inc calls the bonds then they will make a profit (loss) of,
= 5,000,000 * 104/100
= $5,200,000
Therefore their Profit (loss) will be the bond at par minus the Calling price
= 5,000,000 - 5,200,000
= -$200,000
That means they make a loss of $200,000 in the year the bonds are called.

A National Debt is the amount of money obtained by one country from another that has not been paid. This can effect a country by means of loss of land actually owned, or it can cause agencies (e.g. Social Security Administration) to be cut on their budget. Meaning the agency to be cut of operational funding will loose a certain amount of funding until funds are found. Normally multiple agencies are cut to obtain some of the money to pay back the debt but this can really hurt agencies for reasoning of staffing as well as other operational costs. Hope this helps!
Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
Total Overhead Cost:
= (Overhead × Number of cases) for all products
= (20 × 350) + (25 × 550) + (17 × 650)
= 31,800
Total Machine Hours:
= Machine hours × Number of cases
= (5 × 350) + (3 × 550) + (4 × 650)
= 6,000
Overhead Rate:
= Total Overhead Cost ÷ Total Machine Hours
= 31,800 ÷ 6,000
= 5.30
Total product cost per case for Product GC:
= Direct Material + Direct Labor + Overhead
= 80 + 30 + (Machine hours × Overhead Rate)
= 80 + 30 + (3 × 5.3)
= 80.00 + 30.00 + 15.90
= $125.90
Answer:
The correct answer is B: $46,400
Explanation:
The difference between absorption and variable costing is that the first one includes fixed manufacturing overhead in the manufacturing cost.
Giving the following information:
Absorption costing:
Direct materials= 30,000
Direct labor= 38,000
Variable factory overhead= 8,000
Fixed factory overhead= 40,000
Total= $116,000
Unitary cost= 116000/10000= $11.6
Ending finished inventory= 4000*11.6= $46,400
