Answer:

The value of the payment today = $36,539.65

Explanation:

<em>An annuity is a series of equal payment or receipt occurring for certain number of period. </em>

<em>The payment in question is an example of an annuity .Hence the value of the payment today would be the present value of 2,700 annuity discounted at the appropriate interest rate </em>.

This is done as follows:

The Present Value of annuity = A ×  (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- periodic cash flow-2,700, r- semi annual rate of interest - 7.3/2= 3.65%

n- number of period- (9×2) + 1= 19. Note that we have 19 "six months" in 9 years 6 months

PV = 2,700 × (1- (1+0.0365)^(-19))/0.0365 =36,539.650

The value of the payment today = $36,539.65

Harris Fabrics computes its plantwide predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning
wolverine [178]

Answer:

$6.7 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Given:

Direct labor-hours = 20,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost = $94,000

variable manufacturing overhead = $2.00 per direct labor-hour

Actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year = $123,900

Actual total direct labor = 21,000 hours

Now,

Total Estimated Manufacturing Overhead

= 94000 + ( 2 × 20000 )

= $134,000

And,

Predetremined Overhead Rate = \frac{\textup{Estimated Maufacturing Overhead}}{\textup{Estimated Direct Labor Hours.}}

or

Predetremined Overhead Rate = \frac{\textup{134,000}}{\textup{20000}}

or

Predetremined Overhead Rate = $6.7 per direct labor hour

24. On January 15, 2015, the accounts receivable balance was $7,000 and the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts was $
Sati [7]

Answer:

The net realizable value is $7,000-$700= $6,300

The reason for this is that $700 was the the allowance for doubtful accounts and this is the amount that company does not expect to receive therefore it is subtracted from the total receivables to find the net realizable value.

Un collectible amount is $200 which is less than $700 so it will be subtracted from 700 and then the doubtful accounts balance will be $500

Which of the following reflects the purchasing power of wages when adjusted for​ inflation? A. Real hourly compensation B. Direc
Brut [27]

Answer:

B. Direct financial compensation

Explanation:

When adjusted for inflation the normal wage paid is increased from its existing level to some percentage level similar to inflation level, to meet the inflation in market.

This can be clearly measured as from the actual payment made to the workers which shall include the direct financial compensation paid to the employees. This is because to calculate how much a worker can purchase during inflation is, actually what is the value of money in his hands during inflation, basically the utility.

Therefore, the correct option is:

Direct Financial Compensation.

The risk-free rate is 6%; Stock A has a beta of 1.0; Stock B has a beta of 2.0; and the market risk premium, rM − rRF, is positi
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

b. If Stock A's required return is 11%, then the market risk premium is 5%

Explanation:

Let's analyze each choice with the CAPM formula; r= risk free+beta(mrkt return - risk free)

a.)

Assume market return is 8%

rA= 6% +1 (8% - 6%)= 8%

rB= 6% +2 (8% - 6%)= 10%

Since stock B's return is not twice that of stock A, choice a.) statement is WRONG.

b.)

Formula ; r= risk free+beta(mrkt return - risk free)

Find MRP if rA=11% knowing that MRP = (mrkt rate - risk free)

11% = 6% +1 (11% - 6%)

Therefore MRP= 11%-6% = 5% making choice b. CORRECT
