Acheson Corporation, which applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours, has provided the following data for its

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Allocated MOH= $165,240

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated manufacturing overhead $157,750

Estimated machine-hours 4,640

Actual manufacturing overhead $157,400

Actual machine-hours 4,860

First, we need to calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 157,750/4,640= $34 per machine hour

Now, we can calculate the allocated overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 34*4,860= $165,240

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

D) its revenue minus its cost of intermediate goods.

Explanation:

The firm value added shows a difference between the revenue and the cost of intermediate goods

In mathematically,

Firm value added = Revenue - cost of intermediate goods

After deducting the cost of intermediate goods from the revenue we can get the firm value added

Hence, the option D is correct as it denotes the firm value added

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The maximum interest rate the bank needs to offer on the loan if Martin is at least to break even on this investment is A) 6%

Explanation:

Martin is offered an investment where for $4000 today, he will receive $4240 in one year. The interest rate of the investment = ($4,240-$4,000)/$4,000x100% = 6%

The maximum interest rate the bank needs to offer on the loan if Martin is at least to break even on this investment should equal the interest rate of the investment: 6%

When interest is compounded continuously, the amount of money increases at a rate proportional to the amount S present at time t

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

a) - r=5%: $S=$ 5,136.10$

- r=4%: $S=$ 4,885.61$

- r=3%: $S=$ 4,647.34$

b) - r=5%: t=14 years

- r=4%: t=17 years [/tex]

- r=3%: t=23 years [/tex]

c) The amount obtained is

- Compuonded quarterly: $5,191.83

- Compuonded continously: $5,200.71

The latter is always greater, since the more often it is capitalized, the greater the effect of compound interest and the greater the capital that ends up accumulating.

Explanation:

The rate of accumulation of money is

$dS/dt=rS$

To calculate the amount of money accumulted in a period, we have to rearrange and integrate:

$\int dS/S=\int rdt=r \int dt\\\\ln(S)=C*r*t\\\\S=C*e^{rt}$

When t=0, S=S₀ (the initial capital).

$S=S_0=Ce^{r*0}=Ce^0=C\\\\C=S_0$

Now we have the equation for the capital in function of time:

$S=S_0e^{rt}$

a) For an initial capital of $4000 and for a period of five years, the amount of capital accumulated for this interest rates is:

- r=5%: $S=4000e^{0.05*5}=4000*e^{0.25}= 5,136.10$

- r=4%: $S=4000e^{0.04*5}=4000*e^{0.20}= 4,885.61$

- r=3%: $S=4000e^{0.03*5}=4000*e^{0.15}= 4,647.34$

b) We can express this as

$S=S_0e^{rt}\\\\2S_0=S_0e^{rt}\\\\2=e^{rt}\\\\ln(2)=rt\\\\t=ln(2)/r$

- r=5%: $t=ln(2)/0.05=14$

- r=4%: $t=ln(2)/0.04=17$

- r=3%: $t=ln(2)/0.03= 23$

c) When the interest is compuonded quarterly, the anual period is divided by 4. In 5 years, there are 4*5=20 periods of capitalization. The annual rate r=0.0525 to calculate the interest is also divided by 4:

$S = 4000 (1+(1/4)(0.0525))^{5*4}=4000(1.013125)^{20}\\\\S=4000*1.297958= 5,191.83$

If compuonded continously, we have:

$S=S_0e^{rt}=4000*e^{0.0525*5}=4000*1.3= 5,200.71$

The amount obtained is

- Compuonded quarterly: $5,191.83

- Compuonded continously: $5,200.71

The latter is always greater, since the more often it is capitalized, the greater the effect of compound interest and the greater the capital that ends up accumulating.
