Answer:

Indexed.

Explanation:

Indexing is the adjustment of amounts of money to an index figure. This often involves adjustment to inflation so that the real amount remains the same, that is, it continues to represent the same average purchasing power. For example, inflation is measured by the consumer price index. This is a weighted average price index of the average household.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

“Should” or “should not” depend on the cost rate of the option and the risk appetite of investors.

Explanation:

An option is a contract that allows investors to buy or sell instruments such as security, Exchanged Traded Fund or an index at a pre-determined price over a certain period of time.

If the option will cost the investor an additional $10,000 and it is the cost for an option of $10 million investment, then it cost only 0.1% additionally, but it can secure the position of this investment; then the investor should buy this option.

Vice versa, if the additional $10,000 is much more than expected profit, and even lower but significantly drop down the total profit of an investment; and the investor always wish to have a high profit regardless high risk; then he shouldn’t buy this option.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead costs:

Factory machinery depreciation 59,000

Factory supervisor salaries 140,500

Factory supplies 43,900

Factory property tax 27,750

Total overhead= 271,150

First, we need to determine the estimated direct labor hours for the period:

Factory direct labor= 215,558

Direct labor rate= $12.11

Direct labor hours= 215,558/ 12.11= 17,800 hours

Now, we can calculate the estimated overhead rate:

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

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

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 271,150/17,800= $15.23 per direct labor hour

2) To apply overhead, we need to use the following formula:

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

Allocated MOH= 15.23*18,900= $287,847

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

$9.94

Explanation:

Equivalent unit of conversion cost = 56,800 + (7,300*40%)

Equivalent unit of conversion cost = 56,800 + 2,920

Equivalent unit of conversion cost = 59,720 unit

Total cost of conversion = $34,558 + $559,254

Total cost of conversion = $593,812

Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = Total cost of conversion / Equivalent unit of conversion cost

Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $593,812 / 59,720 units

Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $9.9432686

Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $9.94
