Answer:

The second option which 5 years to maturity exhibited a lower price of

$523.95

Explanation:

In order to ascertain the option with lower, it is important we determine the price of each investment based on the fact the price of an investment opportunity today is the present value of its future cash flow is the maturity value of $1000 in both cases:

a.

PV=FV/(1+r)^n

PV=price of investment

FV=future value=$1000

r= 13.80%.

n=4 years

PV=$1000/(1+13.80%)^4

PV=$596.25

b.

PV=FV/(1+r)^n

PV=price of investment

FV=future value=$1000

r= 13.80%.

n=5 years

PV=$1000/(1+13.80%)^5

PV= $523.95

astraxan [27]

Answer:

<u>The actual direct labor hours are 45,000.</u>

<u>The overhead rate for Year 2 is $1.74.</u>

Explanation:

Compute the actual direct labor hours:

$\begin{aligned}\text{Actual direct labor hours}&=\dfrac{\text{Applied overheads}}{\text{Overhead rate}}\\&=\dfrac{\$76,500}{1.7}\\&=45,000\end{aligned}$

<u>Therefore, the actual direct labor hours are 45,000.</u>

Compute the overhead rate for Year 2:

$\begin{aligned}\text{Overhead rate}&=\dfrac{\text{Actual overheads}}{\text{Actual direct labor hours}}\\&=\dfrac{\$78,300}{45,000}\\&=1.74\end{aligned}$

<u>Therefore, the overhead rate for Year 2 is $1.74.</u>

<u />

Working note:

Calculate the overhead rate for Year 1:

$\begin{aligned}\text{Overhead rate}&=\dfrac{\text{Budgeted overheads}}{\text{Estimated direct labor hours}}\\&=\dfrac{\$74,800}{44,000}\\&=1.7\end{aligned}$
