Four fundamental factors affect the cost of money: (1) the return that borrowers expect to earn on their investments, (2) the pr

eference of savers to spend their income in the current period rather than delay their consumption until some future period, (3) the risks associated with the investment, and (4) expected inflation. Consider the following statements that address these factors, and indicate which you think are true.
Statement 1: The onset of 5% inflation means that your receipt of a $100 interest payment allows you to purchase only $95 worth of goods and services.
Statement 2: For the average rational investor or saver, there is an indirect, or inverse, relationship between the amount of risk exhibited by a security and the risk premium that would be required by the investor or saver.
Statement 3: On average and everything else held constant, rational savers and investors prefer to invest $1,500 to acquire an asset that will pay annual cash flows of $300 per year rather than an otherwise identical asset that will pay $500 per year.
Statement 4: The actual relationship between the risk-free rate of return (r*) and the expected future inflation rate or inflation premium (IP) is actually multiplicative-that is, [(1 + rRF) x (1 + IP)]-1-but it is often simplified to reflect an additive relationship.

The true statements are:

a. 2 and 3
b. 2 and 4
c. 1 and 4
d. 1 and 3

Answer:

The true statements are:

c. 1 and 4

Explanation:

The actual interest rate paid to savers depends on

(1) the expected rate of return on invested capital

(2) time preferences for current consumption versus future consumption

(3) the riskiness of the loan

(4) the expected future inflation rate

We can conclude that if an investment is facing a higher risk and inflation rate, then the expected interest rate will be higher than for a low-risk, low inflation-facing investment.

mr_godi [17]

Complete Question:

S4-2 (similar to) Question Help. Sally's Furniture uses departmental overhead rates​ (rather than a plantwide overhead​ rate) to allocate its manufacturing overhead to jobs. The​ company's two production departments have the following departmental overhead​ rates: Cutting​ Department: $8 per machine hour Finishing​ Department: $14 per direct labor hour Job 112112 used the following direct labor hours and machine hours in the two manufacturing​ departments:

Resources used for Job 112112​

                                Cutting        Finishing

Direct Labor Hours      6               10

Machine Hours            6                7

Requirements:

1. How much manufacturing overhead should be allocated to Job 112112​?

2. Assume that direct labor is paid at a rate of $23 per hour and Job 112112 used $2,400 of direct materials. What was the total manufacturing cost of Job 112112​? 1. How much manufacturing overhead should be allocated to Job 112112​? Calculate the total manufacturing overhead for the job by using a formula for each​ department's overhead amount and then adding both amounts together. First determine the formula and overhead for the Cutting Department.

Answer:

Sally's Furniture

1. Manufacturing overhead allocated to Job 112112:

Cutting department = Machine hour rate x machine hours

= $8 x 6 = $48

Finishing department = Direct labor hour  rate x direct labor hours

= $14 x 10 = $140

Total manufacturing overhead = $188 ($48 + 140)

2. Total manufacturing cost of Job 112112:

Direct materials = $2,400

Direct labor        =      368 (16 x $23)

Overhead          =       188

Total cost           = $2,956

Explanation:

a) Data:

Departmental overhead​ rates:

Cutting​ Department: $8 per machine hour

Finishing​ Department: $14 per direct labor hour

b) Job Costing is a costing method that allocates the costs of resources for manufacturing goods and services according to the costs consumed by each job.  Each job becomes a cost center for accumulating costs instead of the process involved in the production.  The system helps management to keep track of the costs of each job.

In 1895, the winner of a competition was paid $150. In 2006, the winner's prize was $70,000. What will the winner's prize be in
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

the price will grow to $ 507,571.77 If it continues with the same grow rate

Explanation:

first we solve for the rate:

2006 - 1895 = 111 years

Nominal (1+r)^{n} = FV\\150 (1+r)^{111} = 70,000\\\\r = \sqrt[111]{70,000 / 150 } -1

r =  0.06  

Now we apply this rate for the year 2040:

2040 - 2006 = 34 years

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

Principal 70,000.00

time 34.00

rate 0.06000

70000 \: (1+ 0.06)^{34} = Amount

Amount 507,571.77
