Answer:
Product costs are mostly prime costs (Variable cost). Now lets check where this misclassification occurs.
There are 3 stages of absorption costing.
Stage 1: Allocation
Stage 2: Apportionment
Stage 3: Absorption
Misclassification of product cost of product A occurs at Stage 1.
This means that the share of product cost of A, which is misclassified as selling cost will be equally shared with other products in the stage 2. This sharing of cost will lower the average cost per unit of product A and increase the average cost per unit of other products. Hence, Its true.
Answer:
a. Leslie, who is independent and self-confident. She doesn’t need people to tell her what to do.
b. Malcolm, who loves to play. His last boss says that Malcolm was the "chief kid" in his last office.
c. Frankie, who has been in the toy business for 10 years and who knows what he’s doing, but who always likes testing a new idea.
Explanation:
In this scenario the CEO of a start-up toy manufacturer wants to create at least 10 wildly different toys in the next three years.
He will primarily need people that are creative and are inclined to work with new ideas.
The wrong choice will be someone who follows the rules and is stable. Such a staff will not contribute new ideas that will move the company to make profits.
Leslie is confident and does not need to be told what to do, so she will take initiative to do new things.
Malcolm loves to play and this will boost creative ideas.
Frankie likes testing new ideas and will be comfortable working creatively.
Answer:
When using a financial calculator to compute the issue price of the bonds, the applicable periodic interest rate ("I") is 3.923%
Explanation:
Hi, first, the discount interest rate that you have to choose is 8%, because 9% is the coupon rate (which in our case would be 9%/2=4.5% and this is used only to find the amount to be paid semi-annually).
Now we know we have to choose 8%, but this is an effective rate (I know this is an effective rate because no units were mentioned), and by definition it is a periodic rate, but it is not the rate that we need since the payments are going to be made in a semi-annual way, therefore we need to use the following equation.
![r(semi-annual)=[1+r(annual)]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%28semi-annual%29%3D%5B1%2Br%28annual%29%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%7D%20-1)
So, everything should look like this.
![r(semi-annual)=[1+0.08]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.03923](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%28semi-annual%29%3D%5B1%2B0.08%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%7D%20-1%3D0.03923)
Therefore, the periodic interest that yuo have to use to calculate the price of the bond is 3.923%
Best of luck.
