Total cost= $24,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Watson, Inc. applies overhead costs based on direct labor hours. In completing the 200 units in job #120, the company incurred $12,000 in direct materials and 500 direct labor hours at $18 per hour. The predetermined overhead rate is $6 per direct labor hour.
Total cost= direct material + direct labor + manufacturing overhead
Total cost= 12,000 + 500*18 + 6*500= $24,000
Answer:
The amount of the gift is 566,371.6814
Explanation:
Average rate of return = Average net profit / average investment
Average rate of return = 5.65% (5.65/100 = 0.0565)
average net profit = 32000
average investment = unknown
to calculate the amount of the gift which is investment in this case the same formula for Average rate of return will be used i.e
Average rate of return = Average net profit / average investment
0.0565 = 32, 000/ x
cross multiply
0.0565 x = 32,000
divide both sides by 0.0565
x = 32,000/0.0565
32,000/ 0.0565 = x
x = 566,371.6814
The amount of the gift is 566,371.6814
Answer:
Current value = $550
Explanation:
You can solve this question using a financial calculator. I am using (Texas Instruments BA II plus)
First, since it is Semiannual coupon, adjust the interest rate to semi-annual rate and multiply 15 years by 2 since we have 2 semi annual periods per year.
<em>Note: If using the same calculator as me, key in the numbers first before the function .</em>
Total duration of investment ;N = 15 * 2 = 30
Interest rate; I/Y = 16% / 2 = 8%
Face value; FV = 1000
Semi annual Coupon Payment ; PMT = (8%/2)*1000 = 40
then CPT PV = $549.689
Therefore the current value of this bond is $550 (rounded to whole number.)
