Answer – Division A

EXPLANATION’

Given for last year,

Division A made 60% of the company's total revenue.

Let the company’s total revenue for last year be x

60% of x = 0.6x

Division A made 0.6x last year

Also given for last year,

Division B made 40% of the company's total revenue.

If the company’s total revenue for last year is x

40% of x = 0.4x

Division B made 0.4x last year

For this year,

We are told that division A's revenue has decreased by 35%

Last year’s revenue was 0.6x

Division A’s revenue for this year = 0.6x – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% of 0.6x) – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.6x) – (35% * 0.6x)

= (100% - 35%) * 0.6x

= 65% * 0.6x

= 65/100 * 0.6x

= 0.39x

Therefore this year, Division A’s revenue is 0.39x

Again for this year,

We are told that division B's revenue has decreased by 5%

Last year’s revenue was 0.4x

Division B’s revenue for this year = 0.4x – (5% of 0.4x)

= (100% of 0.4x) – (5% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.4x) – (5% * 0.4x)

= (100% - 5%) * 0.4x

= 95% * 0.4x

= 0.38x

Therefore this year, Division B’s revenue is 0.38x

If Division A’s revenue is 0.39x, and Division B’s revenue is 0.38x; then Division A had higher revenue this year.

Answer: option A is the correct option.

Cash price = 106.00

Explanation:

Cash price = quoted price + accrued interest

CP = Qp + I ..........................(1)

Quoted price = 105

Accrued interest = ?

STEP1 : FIND INTEREST;

Because the interest is not compounded

Accrued Interest = PRT ..........(2)

P= principal ( the face value)

R = rate per annum

T= period

P= 100

Since the period of payment of the face value was from April 1 to October 1 that means the period is 180 days, that means the 12% rate per annum (360 days), should be 6% rate per halve annum (180 days).

Therefore;

R = 6%

Since rate is applied every 30 days of the period which is 30/360 for an annum. Our period is 180 that's means rate will be applied to 30/180.

Therefore;

T = 30/180

Therefore using equation 2

I = 100 × 6% × (30/180) = 1.00

Accrued interest= 1.00

STEP 2: FIND CASH PRICE

using equation 1

Cash price = 105 + 1.00 = 106.00

Answer:

Variable overhead efficiency variance = $2,212unfavorable

Explanation:

variable overhead efficiency variance: Variable overhead efficiency variance aims to determine whether or not their exist savings or extra cost incurred on variable overhead as a result of workers being faster or slower that expected.

Since the variable overhead is charged using labour hours, any amount by which the actual labour hours differ from the standard allowable hours would result in a variance

Hours

5,400 units should have taken (5,400×3.8 hours) 20,520

but did take 20,800

Labour hours variance 280 unfavorable

Standard variable overhead rate × $ 7.90 per hour

Variable overhead efficiency variance $2,212 unfavorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance = $2,212unfavorable

If the required rate of return on a bond (rd) is greater than its coupon interest rate and will remain above that rate, then the

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Answer this question using YTM, coupon rate, price and par value relationship/rules.

If YTM > coupon rate, then Price < Par value

If YTM < coupon rate, then Price > Par value

If YTM = coupon rate, then Price = Par value

In this case, the assumption is that YTM > coupon rate, hence based on the above rules, the Price or market value of the bond will be < Par value. This makes the statement true.
