Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $6.42 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The company's executives estimated that direct labor would be $3,360,000 (240,000 hours at $14/hour) and that factory overhead would be $1,540,000 for the current period.
Using direct labor hours as a base, what was the predetermined overhead rate?
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 1,540,000/240,000= $6.42 per direct labor hour
Answer:
The amount of $25,000 will be recorded as the Cash Dividends
Explanation:
The amount which is to be recorded as the cash dividend is computed as:
Cash Dividend = Number of Shares × Rate per share
where
Number of shares is computed as:
Number of shares = Issued Shares - Treasury Stock
= 30,000 - 5,000
= 25,000
NOTE: No dividend is paid on treasury stocks, so the the shares of the treasury stocks are subtracted.
Rate per share is $1
SO, Putting the values above:
Cash Dividend = 25,000 × $1
= $25,000
Answer:
$1 or 100% of the tax
Explanation:
When the price elasticity of demand is 0, it means that the good or service will be purchased regardless of its cost. Very few things have such a low price elasticity, and the fact that this is drug for treating cancer is the reason why that happens. Anyone that can purchase a drug that will keep you alive, will do so as long as you have enough money to do so. Another good with a very low price elasticity, but not 0, is gasoline with a 0.02 to 0.04, and gasoline is a basic necessity also.
The curve for a perfectly inelastic good is vertical. So any increase in taxes will be paid by the customers.
Answer:
5.925%
Explanation:
For computing the cost of debt, first we have to determine the YTM by using the Rate formula that is shown in the attachment
Given that,
Present value = $1,050
Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 8% = $80
NPER = 20 year - 1 year = 19 year
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 7.50%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 7.50% × ( 1 - 0.21)
= 5.925%
