2. Exchange traded funds are of low cost.

3. An exchange traded fund comprises baskets of stocks and securities.

4. It gives exposure to various market styles and different classes of equities.

adoni [48]

Answer:

Stated yield is 11.04%

expected yield is  5.78%

Explanation:

The expected yield to maturity can be computed using the rate formula in excel which is given below:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of coupon interest the bond would pay which is 13

pmt is the amount of coupon interest the bond pays which is $1000*10%=$100

pv is the current price of the bond which is $930

fv is the face value of $1000

=rate(13,100,-930,1000)=11.04%

However the expected yield has the coupon interest reduced to one -half as calculated below:

=rate(13,100*0.5,-930,1000)=5.78%

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Cost of goods sold=$955000

Explanation:

we know that to calculate cost of goods sold we have to first finds cost of goods manufactured and to calculate cost of goods manufactured we will need total manufacturing cost.

Step#01: Total manufacturing cost=?

Total manufacturing cost= raw material used+direct labour+ factory overhead

Raw material used=?

     Raw material (open)=         72000

Add:  Raw material purchase=<u>467000</u>

                                                  539000

less: Raw material (ending)=   (<u>93000</u>)

      Raw material used            446000

Total manufacturing cost=446000+363000+213000=1021000

Step#2: Cost of goods manufactured (COGM)=?

we know that: COGM= Total manufacturing cost+ work in process (open)-work in process (end)

          COGM= 1021000+63000-84000=1000,000

Step#3: Cost of goods sold (COGS)=?

 we know that : COGS= Cost of goods manufactured+finished goods (open)-finished goods (ending)

               COGS= 1000000+171000-216000=955000
