The expected average rate of return in the fixed asset above is 36.92%. The rate of return is the income or loss of a proposed investment in a specified amount of time. In this case, a company wants to buy a 4-year life fixed asset which can increase the company's income by $240,000. We can calculate the rate of return by dividing the net income from the investment with the proposed investment to obtain the portion of return received from the investment<span>. Formula: (Net Income From The Investment/Proposed Investment) x 100%.</span>
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:
The total shareholders’ equity at the end of Year 1 is $487,400
Explanation:
The computation of the ending total shareholders’ equity is shown below:
= Common stock value in exchange of cash + net income + net holding gains - dividend paid
= $442,400 + $98,000 + $1,000 - $54,000
= $487,400
While calculating the ending balance of shareholder equity we added the net income, net holding gains and deducted the dividend paid to the common stock value amount
Answer:
A - If a bond sells at a discount, the yield to maturity is greater than the current yield
Explanation:
Yield to maturity is the expected return if the bond is held till maturity. Current yiled is the return if the bond is sold today. There is an evident relationship between yield to maturity (TYM) and the current yield.
“When a bond's market price is above par, which is known as a premium bond, its current yield and YTM are lower than its coupon rate. Conversely, when a bond sells for less than par, which is known as a discount bond, its current yield and YTM are higher than the coupon rate. Only on occasions when a bond sells for its exact par value are all three rates identical” (Bloomenthal, 2020).
According to the above statements, options C, B and D are eliminated. This leaves option A (If a bond sells at a discount, the yield to maturity is greater than the current yield) as the correct answer. This is true because YTM is calculated on purchase price rather than par value, if the purchase price is less than par value, the YTM will be greater than the current yield.
