Answer:

Markung Cost of Equity:

For this you should use the Capital Asset Pricing Model:

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - Risk free rate)

= 5% + 1.50 * (6.5% - 5%)

= 7.25%

Total capital budget:

They will only pick projects with a rate of return that is higher than 12.55%:

= Project W + Project Y + Project Z

= 22,450 + 19,235 + 17,875

= $59,560

Freytag Corporation's variable overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor-hours. The company has established the following
Serjik [45]

Answer:

a. -$783 Unfavorable

b. 550 Favorable

Explanation:

a. The computation of Variable Overhead Rate Variance is shown below:-

Variable Overhead Rate Variance = Actual hours × (Standard Variable Overhead rate per hour - Actual Variable Overhead rate per hour)

= 8,700 × ($4.10 - ($36,540 ÷ 8,700)

=  8,700 × ($4.10 - $4.19)

= 8,700 × -$0.09

= -$783 Unfavorable

b. The computation of Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance is shown below:-

Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = Standard Variable Overhead Rate per Hour ×  (Standard Hours for Actual Production - Actual Hours)

= 5.5 × ((5.5 × 1,600) - 8,700)

= 5.5 × (8,800 - 8,700)

= 5.5 × 100

= 550 Favorable

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

$1,440 per machine

Explanation:

The computation of the cost per machine is shown below:

= Total cost ÷ number of machine completed

where,

Total cost = Material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead applied cost + beginning work in process cost - ending work in process cost

= $15,000 + $11,000 + $7,000 + $11,000 - $8,000

= $36,000

And, the number of machine completed is 25

So, the cost per machine is

= $36,000 ÷ 25 machines

= $1,440 per machine

umka21 [38]

Answer:

County Medical Center

cash from operating activities.

Explanation:

Unrestricted contributions received by the County Medical Center are funds or other assets given to the Center with no restriction on their use.  Unrestricted contributions are usually directed at the funding of operational expenses, as the County Medical Center demonstrated.  Therefore, they are listed under operating activities in the Statement of Cash Flows.

A total of $44,000 is invested in two municipal bonds that pay 5.75% and 7.25% simple interest. The investor wants an annual int
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Amount invested at 5.75% = $30,000

Amount invested at 7.25% = $14,000

Explanation:

Let the amount invested

at 5.75% = X

at 7.25% = Y

According to given condition

X + Y = $44,000 ( Eq 1)

and

0.0575X + 0.0725Y = $2,740 ( Eq 2)

By multiplying ( Eq 1) with 0.0575

0.0575X + 0.0575Y = $2,530 ( Eq 3)

By subtracting ( Eq 3) from ( Eq 2)

0.0725Y - 0.0575Y = $2,740 - $2,530

0.015Y = 210

Y = 210 / 0.015

Y = $14,000

X + $14,000 = $44,000

X = $44,000 - $14,000

X = $30,000

Check:

$30,000 x 5.75% + $14,000 x 7.25% = $2,740

$2,740 = $2,740
