Grays Company has inventory of 16 units at a cost of $11 each on August 1. On August 3, it purchased 26 units at $10 each. 18 un
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Cost of goods sold is $196

Explanation:

Using FIFO inventory sold are valued at the price of the most earliest stock in inventory.

The 16 units would be valued at $11 per one while the remaining 2 units would be valued at price of the purchase made on August 3 which cost $10 each

costs of goods sold=($11*16)+($10*2)

                                =$176+$20=$196

The costs of goods sold would be $196 if FIFO method of inventory valuation is used

Answer:

<em>Cost of completed WIP:</em> 30,240

<em>Total cost of tranferreed-out:</em> 729,990

Explanation:

<em><u>We assume it works with weighted-average process costing</u></em>

Beginning 9,000 50% = 4,500   $22,050

Finished goods 207,000 units

Direct Materials 212,000 units at $1.6

Direct labor       $276,000

Overhead          $<u> 107,400    </u>

Total Overhead $383,400

started   212,000 units

<u>finished 207,000 units</u>

ending       5,000 units at 75%

EU Conversion Cost 207,000 + 5,000 x 75% =  210,750

<em>Cost per equivalent unit: 383,400 / 210,750 = 1,819217</em>

Cost of beginning WIP comepleted

22,050 beginning + 1.82 x 4,500 =  30,240

Cost of the units transferred to finished goods:

    22,050 beginning WIP balance

+ 207,000 x $1.6 materials

<u>+ 207,000 x $1.82 conversion cost  </u>

<em>Total:</em> 729,990

if, after one year, the yield to maturity on a multiyear coupon bond that was issued at par is lower than the coupon rate, what
maw [93]

When the YTM is lower than the bond's coupon rate, the bond's market value exceeds its par value (premium bond). Bonds are selling at a discount if their coupon rate is smaller than their YTM. A bond is trading at par if its coupon rate is equal to its yield to maturity (YTM).

<h3>What is the cost of a $1,000 par value, three year, zero-coupon bond?</h3>

(a) A three-year zero-coupon bond with a face value of $1,000 would have a present value (or price) of 874.69 with a yield of 4.564 percent.

<h3>What is the yield to maturity on a discount bond with a $1000 face value that will mature in a year and sell for $800?</h3>

The yield to maturity is determined using the following formula with the current price of $800: 800 = 1000 / (yield to maturity plus one) Yield to maturity Equals 1 plus yield.  Yield until maturity equals 25%
