Answer:

7.67%

Explanation:

The Excel rate function can be used to determine the before-tax cost of debt as follows:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper=number of semiannual coupons in the remaining 20 years=20*2=40

pmt=semiannual coupon=$45

pv=current amrket price= $896.87

fv=face value=$1000

=rate(40,45,-896.87,1000)=5.11%

5.11%  is the semiannual yield

yield to maturity=5.11%*2=10.22%

after-tax cost of debt=pretax cost debt*(1-tax rate)

tax rate=25%

after-tax cost of debt=10.22%*(1-25%)=7.67%

The combination of expansionary monetary policy and a self-regulating economy will cause real GDP will rise to the level above natural real GDP and the recessionary gap would hence turn into an inflationary gap situation.

<h3>What do you mean by monetary policy?</h3>

Monetary Policy refers to the control of the quantity of money available in an economy through which new money is supplied.

The self-regulating economy experiences a recessionary gap. The real GDP is less than the level of natural real GDP. The gap is been corrected by the rightward shift in the short-run aggregate supply curve.

Due to interplay, real GDP will rise to the level above natural real GDP and the recessionary gap turn into an inflationary gap.

atroni [7]

Answer:

cost of goods sold is $197,800

ending inventory is $55,000

Explanation:

LIFO System is an Inventory Management Method that sells the Recent Inventory Acquired First followed by older Inventory.

<u><em>Cost of Goods Sold</em></u>

March 14 = (1,380×$62) = $85,560

August 31 = (1,130×$80) =  $90,400

                 =  (70×$62)    =   $ 4,340

                 = (350×$50)   =  $ 17,500

Total                                =  $197,800

<em><u>Closing Inventory</u></em>

(1,100×$50) = $55,000

If 14,700 units are produced, the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost is closest to:
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Total manufacturing overhead cost will be closest to 61,340  

Explanation:

As we can see there is not step-up fixed cost that is no additional fixed cost will incurred upon producing extra units, therefore fixed cost will remain same that is 37,820.

Variable overhead cost will increase with increase in units therefore, variable cost for producing 14,700 units will be 1.6 x 14,700 = 23,520.

To find total overhead cost we will simply add fixed and variable overhead cost:

Total overhead cost = fixed overhead cost + variable overhead cost

Total overhead cost = 37,820 + 23,520

Total overhead cost = 61,340
