ears. a. Calculate the present value for Investments X and Y if the discount rate is 4 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. Calculate the present value for Investments X and Y if the discount rate is 14 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer:

a)Present value [X] = $46,099.06

Present value[Y] = $40,066.40

b) Present value[X] = $30,667.51

Present value[Y] = $30,897.73

Explanation:

Present value of an ordinary annuity is calculated as follows:

$Present value =PMT*\frac{[1-(1+i)^-^n]}{i}$

where PMT = the value of the individual payments in each period

i = the interest rate that would be compounded in each compounding period

n = the number of payment periods

a) Present value of X given PMT = 6,200; i=0.04; n = 9 is calculated as follows:

Present value[X] = $6,200*\frac{[1-(1+0.04)^-^9]}{0.04}$ = $46,099.06

Present value of Y given PMT = 9,000; i=0.04; n = 5 is calculated as follows:

Present value[Y] = $9,000*\frac{[1-(1+0.04)^-^5]}{0.04}$ = $40,066.40

b) if the discount rate is 14% and all other variables do not change

Present value[X] = $6,200*\frac{[1-(1+0.14)^-^9]}{0.14}$ = $30,667.51

Present value[Y] = $9,000*\frac{[1-(1+0.14)^-^5]}{0.14}$ = $30,897.73

Unit cost of materials for a department using the FIFO method of process costing is found by taking the total cost of materials

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

b. equivalent units of output.

Explanation:

In the production process there are various kind of inventory, that is raw material inventory, work in process and then the finished inventory.

Thus, there is this equivalent units concepts which calculates the completed units that would have been produced in case of no work in process.

Thus, when we use FIFO method and we want to calculate the unit cost of materials assuming inventory of raw material is also added in stages rather than completely adding it as a first step itself, the correct equation = Total cost of materials/equivalent units of output.

Your investment has a 20% chance of earning a 30% rate of return, a 50% chance of earning a 10% rate of return, and a 30% chance

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

a: 12.8%

Explanation:

Standard Deviation would be calculated with the probability approach since there is probability given in the question.

Formula of Standard Deviation and the solution is given in the pictures below.
Although ERR the required part to calculate Standard Deviation is calculated in the text.

Calculating ERR:

ERR= Sum of Probabilities × Rate of returns.

In our question = ERR= 0.2 × 30% + 0.5 × 10% + 0.3 × (-6%) = 0.128 = 12.8%

Thus, by putting all the values in the formula you will get the answer 12.8%.

Woodland industries manufactures and sells custom-made windows. Its job costing system was designed using an activity-based cost

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a.

Direct materials 101,500

Direct labour (13,600 * 13) 176, 800

Materials handling (508 * 0.28) 142.24

Cutting and lathe work (508 * 12.32) 6258.56

Assembly and inspection (13,600 * 17.5) 238,000

Total manufacturing cost 522,700.8

Cost per unit produced = 522,700.8 / 3,050 =

= 171.377 per unit.

b.

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overhead costs / Estimated Direct labour hours

(61,600 + 2,710,400 + 3,850,000) / 220,000

= 30.1 per direct labour hour

Direct materials 101,500

Direct labour (13,600 * 13) 176,800

Manufacturing overhead (13,600 * 30.1) 409,360

Total manufacturing cost 687,660

Cost per unit produced = 687,660/ 3,050

= 225.46 per unit.

After 1989, Donna purchased series EE savings bonds for $2,500 at the age of 25. This year she redeemed the bonds for $5,000 and

Orlov [11]

Answer:

$1,000

Explanation:

Donna purchased series of savings bond for $2,500 at the age of 25

This year Donna redeemed the bond of $5,000

She paid $3,000 as expenses for her daughter education

The first step is the calculate the interest income

= $3,000/$5,000 × $2,500

= 0.6 × $2500

= $1,500

Therefore the interest that will be required by Donna to include in her gross income this year can be calculated as follows

= $2,500-$1,500

= $1,000

Hence Donna is required to include an interest of $1,000 in her gross income this year
