Answer:

a)  ≈  9.6 years

b)   Modified duration is a better measure because Modified duration consider the concept of negative convexity

c) i) coupon of bond = 4%

  Modified duration will increase since the coupon rate of payment decreased

ii) Maturity of bond = 7

 Modified duration will decline as Maturity period has declined to 7 years

Explanation:

A) Calculate modified duration using the preceding information

modified duration = Macaulay duration / ( 1 + (yield to maturity / 2 ))

                             = 10 / ( 1 + ( 0.08 / 2 ))

                             = 9.615 years

B) Modified duration is a better measure because Modified duration consider the concept of negative convexity while Macaulay methods shows the inverse relationship between the duration of the bond and coupon payment .

<u>C) Determine Direction of change in modified duration if </u>

i) coupon of bond = 4%

  Modified duration will increase since the coupon rate of payment decreased

ii) Maturity of bond = 7

 Modified duration will decline as Maturity period has declined to 7 years

gregori [183]

Answer:

a) EU for materials = 170,000

EU for conversion = 165,000

b) Materials = $0.82 per EU

Conversion = $1.48 per EU

c) Ending WIP = $28,240

Units transferred out = $368,760

d) cost reconciliation report:

Costs to be accounted for:

  • Beginning WIP $13,400
  • Cost added $383,600
  • Total costs to be accounted for $397,000

Cost accounted for as follows:  

  • Unit transferred out $368,760
  • Ending WIP $28,240
  • Total cost accounted for $397,000

Explanation:

beginning WIP 10,000

materials 100% complete (0% added during the period)

conversion 30% complete (70% added during the period) ⇒ 7,000 EU

units started 170,000

ending WIP 20,000

materials 100% complete ⇒ 20,000 EU

conversion 40% complete ⇒ 8,000 EU

units completed = 160,000

units started and completed = 150,000

beginning WIP costs:

Materials cost $8,500

Conversion cost $4,900

costs added during the period:

Materials cost $139,400

Conversion cost $244,200

Equivalent units for July:

EU for materials = 170,000

EU for conversion = 7,000 + 150,000 + 8,000 = 165,000

Costs per EU:

Materials = $139,400  / 170,000 = $0.82 per EU

Conversion = $244,200 / 165,000 = $1.48 per EU

Total costs:

Ending WIP = (20,000 x $0.82) + (8,000 x $1.48) = $28,240

Units transferred out = ($383,600 - $28,240) + $8,500 + $4,900 = $368,760

Costs to be accounted for:

  • Beginning WIP $13,400
  • Cost added $383,600
  • Total costs to be accounted for $397,000

Cost accounted for as follows:  

  • Unit transferred out $368,760
  • Ending WIP $28,240
  • Total cost accounted for $397,000
