Answer:

real interest rate = -3.08%

Explanation:

real interest rate = nominal rate - inflation rate

  • nominal interest rate = [($562/$509) - 1] x 100 = 10.41%
  • inflation rate = [(143/126) - 1] x 100 = 13.49%

real interest rate = 10.41% - 13.49% = -3.08%

since the real interest rate is negative, the investor actually lost money in real dollars. This means that the amount of goods that the investor could purchase before making the investment is higher than the amount of goods he/she will be able to buy after the investment.

The Silver Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. The predetermined overhead ra
mixer [17]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

In Dept. A,

Direct labor cost = $60,000

Manufacturing overhead = $90,000

Direct labor-hours = 6,000

Machine-hours = 2,000

In Dept. B,

Direct labor cost = $40,000

Manufacturing overhead = $45,000

Direct labor-hours = 9,000

Machine-hours = 15,000

Predetermined overhead rates in Dept. A = \frac{Manufacturing\ Overhead}{Direct\ labor\ cost} \times 100

                                                                       = \frac{90,000}{60,000} \times 100

                                                                       = 150%

In dept. B = \frac{Manufacturing\ Overhead}{Machine\ Hour}

                = \frac{45,000}{15,000}

                = $3

LO 8.4What is the main difference between a flexible budget and a master budget?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Flexible budget and master budget are very different.

Explanation:

The "master budget" is the sum of all the budgets that are prepared by a company's various departments. They include financial statements that are budgeted, a financing plan and a cash forecast. They are based on one specific level of production.  

A "flexible budget" is a budget that changes or adjusts when the level of activity changes. They are dynamic in nature and can be operated on many levels of output. It is realistic and not based on assumption.
