Question Completion:

Note that the June Settlement Futures rate = $0.10773/Ps from the Exhibit 7.1 (not provided here).

Answer:

Amber McClain

a) If spot rate = $0.12000/Ps:

The value of her position at maturity = -$49,000

b) If spot rate = $0.09800/Ps:

The value of her position at maturity = -$88,000

c) If spot rate = $0.11000/Ps:

The value of her position at maturity = -$40,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Notional selling price of June futures = 500,000 pesos

Number of contracts = 8

June Settlement Futures rate = $0.10773/Ps

a) If spot rate = $0.12000/Ps:

The value of her position at maturity = -Notional selling price * (Spot rate - Futures rate) * 8

= -500,000 * ($0.12000/Ps - $0.10773/Ps) * 8

= -500,000 * 0.01227 * 8

= -$49,000

b) If spot rate = $0.09800/Ps:

The value of her position at maturity = -Notional selling price * (Spot rate - Futures rate) * 8

= -500,000 * ($0.12000/Ps - $0.09800/Ps) * 8

= -500,000 * 0.022 * 8

= -$88,000

c) If spot rate = $0.11000/Ps:

The value of her position at maturity = -Notional selling price * (Spot rate - Futures rate) * 8

= -500,000 * ($0.12000/Ps - $0.11000/Ps) * 8

= -500,000 * 0.01 * 8

= -$40,000

zvonat [6]

Answer: b. Inspection time

Explanation: Overhead allocation is required under the rules of various accounting frameworks and is defined as the apportionment of indirect costs (costs used by multiple activities which cannot be assigned to specific cost objects) to produced goods. Overhead allocation is quite significant because often times, it is substantially greater than the direct cost of goods.

The time spent for inspection which is vital to controlling quality, reducing manufacturing costs, eliminating losses and assigning causes of defective work etc. would be the most accurate measure of activity to use for allocating the costs of inspecting finished products as it is included in manufacturing overhead.

Explanation:

<u>2015</u>

$\frac{COGS}{Average Inventory} = $Inventory Turnover$

<em><u>where: </u></em>

$$$Average Account Receivable =(Beginning A/R + Ending A/R)/2$

Sales 39,819

ending 4,531

beginnin 3,839

$$$Average A/R=4531 + 3839)/2$

Avg A/R 4185

$\frac{39,819}{4185} = $A/RTurnover$

A/R TO 9.514695341

$\frac{365}{A/R TO} = $Days to collect$

$\frac{365}{9.51469534050179} = $Days to collect$

Days on Inventory 38

<u>2014:</u>

$\frac{35690}{3505} = $A/RTurnover$

Explanation:

a. Payback period
