Answer:
A) an increase; reduce
Explanation:
All else the same ,if a bank liabilities are more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations than are its assets, then an increase in interest rates will reduce bank profits.
A bank is said to be sensitive towards to interest rates means that the bank revalue its liabilities on the basis of the change in the interest rates.

Issue: Will the court rule in support of Daniel’s argument that Nintendo breached the warranty based on reasonable expectation on the performance of an expensive system and statements made while selling the gaming system?
Rule: There is a creation of express warranty when a seller makes a description of the statement quality, condition or performance of goods sold. This warranty is created by the statement of facts and if the seller uses words to designate the value of the supposed goods, it will only be considered as an opinion that does not create any express warranty.
The customer’s reasonable expectation of the existence of the gaming system based on the price leads to implied warranty. The goods sold should be logically fit for the general purpose for which it is sold. It should be of proper quality to satisfy the implied warranty of merchantability and the goods should fit the particular purpose for which the buyer will use the goods to satisfy the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
Analysis: Here, the argument of Daniel that Nintendo’s description of the gaming system as “most reliable”, and “durable” asserted that the quality and performance of the gaming system will not stay because these words create general statements that are made as part of sale or seller’s opinion about the goods. These words would be considered as puffery and do not create any express warranty. The higher price of the gaming system would create an implied warranty about the performance of the system, but the switch failed only after the warranty period. When the seller has expressly stated the warranty period as one year, any defects that occur after the warranty period will not breach the implied warranty.
Moreover, the gaming system was reasonably fit for Daniel’s business purpose and worked well during the warranty period. Hence Daniel’s arguments will not stay in front of the court.
Conclusion: The court will not rule in favor of Daniel and Daniel will not be able to recover against Nintendo because no breach of warranty had occurred.

Answer: $36,000
Explanation:
First calculate the Equivalent Units of Production;
= 21,000 + (3,000 * 40%)
= 21,000 + 1,200
= 22,200 units
Then find the cost of each units.
= Total production cost/ Equivalent units of production
= 666,000/22,200
= $30 per unit
Then the cost of ending Goods in Process Inventory is:
= Equivalent ending process inventory units * cost per unit
= 1,200 * 30
= $36,000
Answer:
a) $17.70
Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
But before that we need to do the following calculations
Applied manufacturing overheads is
= $13,850 + $294,130
= $307,980
And,
Applied manufacturing overheads is
= predetermined overhead rate × Actual direct labor hours
Hence predetermined overhead rate is
= $307,980 ÷ 174,00 hours
= $17.70
Therefore, the correct option is d. $17.70
