Answer:

The correct statements under the step-down method are:

a. I, II, and III.

Explanation:

The step-down method of allocating the costs of service departments is one of the three methods in use.  The others include the direct method and the reciprocal method.  With the direct method, service departments' costs are directly allocated to the production departments without any allocation to a service department.  The reciprocal method is much more involved, using formulas and calculations.  The step-down method allocates the service departments' costs to all the other service and production departments, except itself.  This step is eventually followed until all the service departments' costs have been allocated to the production departments.

The risk-free yield curve is flat at 6% per annum. What is the value of an FRA where the holder receives LIBOR at the rate of 9%
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

c. $8.63

Explanation:

Missing word <em>"The forward LIBOR rate is 7%. All rates are compounded semiannually.  A. $8.88 , B. $9.12 , C. $8.63 , D. $9.02"</em>

Principal = $1000, FRA Rate = 9 % per annum, LIBOR after 2 years = 7 % per annum, Compounding Frequency: Semi-Annual, Risk-Free Rate = 6 % per annum

The FRA matures 2 years or 24 months from now. Further, the Interest Rate that the FRA hedges will create an interest expense only at the end of the LIBOR loan period which is an additional 6 months after the 24 month period.

Hence, Exchange of Interest Expense at the end of 30 Months = (FRA Rate - LIBOR) x Principal (calculated on a semi-annual basis)

= (0.045 - 0.035) * 1000

= $10

Current Value of FRA = Present Value of Interest Expense at the end of the 30 Months Period

= 10 / [1+(0.06/2)]^(30/6)

= $8.6261

= $8.63

You have decided to buy a used car. The dealer has offered you two options: (FV of S1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

1-a.

in order to determine the present value of option a we can look for the PVIFA (annuity factor) for 24% / 12 = 2% monthly rate and 25 payments.

PVIFA = 19.523

Present value of the 25 payments = $540 x 19.523 = $10,542.42

+

Present value of final payment = $10,000 / (1 + 24%)²⁵/¹² = $6,388.10

PV = $16,930.52

Present value of option b = $16,638

1-b.

  • b. option b (lower present value)

The economy is in short-run equilibrium when __________. a. aggregate demand intersects short-run aggregate supply. b. short-run
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

A. aggregate demand intersects short-run aggregate supply

Explanation:

Short run occurs when the amount a firm wishes to supply is equal to the amount demanded from the consumers. It is the area on the graph where the aggregate demand curve intersect with the short run supply curve.

Or, simply put, when the aggregate output supplied is equal to the aggregate output demanded. The equilibrium is made up of equilibrium prices and quantity.

On August 10,2019 ABC sells 16 mini trenchers to a farm co-op in western Minnesota. ABC provides a 4% volume discount on the min
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

If it was likely or probable that the farm co-op would meet the benchmark and get the discount (or rebate), then the journal entry should recognize that. But since it is very doubtful that the benchmark will be met, then the journal entry should be made without considering any type of discount.  

I looked for a similar question in order to find the missing numbers:

each trencher is sold at $3,600 and costs $2,000

August 10, 2019, 16 mini trenchers sold to farm co-op

Dr Accounts receivable 57,600
