Your client has been offered a 5-year, $1,000 par value bond with a 10 percent coupon. Interest on this bond is paid quarterly.
Serjik [45]

Answer:

$906.18

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculation of the present value of the coupon (PVC) cash flow

The formula for calculating the PV of an ordinary annuity is used as follows:

PVC = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PVC = Present value of the coupon (PVC) payment =?

P = Quarterly coupon amount = $1,000 × (10%/4) = $25

r = interest rate = 12% annual = 12% ÷ 4 quarterly = 3% or 0.03 quarterly

n = number of period = 5 years = 7 × 4 quarters = 28 quarters

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PVC = 25 × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+0.03)]^28} ÷ 0.03] = $469.10

Step 2: Calculation of the present value of the face value (PVFAV) of the bond

The simple PV formula is used as follows:

PVFAV = FAV ÷ (1 + r)^n ……………………………………. (2)

Where;

PVFAC = Present value of the face value of the bond = ?

FAC = Face value of the bond = $1,000

r and n are as already given in step 1 above

Substituting these values into equation (2), we have:

PVFAV = FAV ÷ (1 + 0.03)^28 = $437.08

Step 3: Calculation of the market price of the bond

Market price of the bond = PVC + PVFAC …………………………… (3)

From step 1, PVC is $469.10, and PVFAC is $437.08 from Step 2. We can them substitute for them  in equation (3) and have:

Market price of the bond = $469.10 + $437.08 = $906.18

Conclusion

Therefore, she should pay $906.18 for the bond.

Road Gripper Tire Co. manufactures automobile tires. Standard costs and actual costs for direct materials, direct labor, and fac
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

a.

In part a, we need to find the following 3 requirements:

1. Direct Materials Price Variance

2. Direct Materials Quantity Variance

3. Total Direct Materials Cost Variance

Direct Materials Price Variance:

It can be calculated by using the following formula:

DMPV = AQ multiplied by (AP minus the SP)

Where,  

DMPV = Direct Materials Price Variance

AQ = Actual Quantity

AP = Actual Price

SP = Standard Price

We do have all the data, so just plug in the values into the above equation to get the DMPV.

AQ = 101,000

AP  = 6.50 USD

SP = 6.40 USD

So,

DMPV = 101,000 ( 6.50 - 6.40)

DMPV = 10,100 USD

Direct Materials Quantity Variance:

DMQV = SP ( AQ - SQ )

Where,

DMQV = Direct Materials Quantity Variance = ?

SP  = Standard Price  = 6.40 USD

AQ = Actual Quantity  = 101,000

SQ = Standard Quantity  = 100,000

Plugging in the values:

DMQV  = 6.40  ( 101,000 - 100,000)

DMQV = 6400 USD

Total Direct Materials Cost Variance:

DMCV = SMC - AMC

Where,

DMCV =  Direct Materials Cost Variance = ?

SMC = Standard Market Cost = 6.40 USD x 100,000

AMC = Actual market Cost = 6.50 USD x 101,000

DMCV = (6.40 USD x 100,000) - (6.50 USD x 101,000)

DMCV = 640,000 - 656,500

DMCV =  16,500 USD

b.

For part b, we need following particulars:

1. Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV)

2. Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV)

3. Direct Labor Cost Variance  (DLCV)

Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV) :

DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH

Where,

ADLR  = Actual Direct Labor Rate = 15.40 USD

SDLR = Standard Direct Labor Rate = 15.75 USD

ADLH = Actual Direct Labor Hour = 2000

So,

DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH

DLRV =  (15.40 USD  - 15.75 USD  ) x 2000

DLRV = 700 USD

Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV):

DLTV = ( ADLH - SDLH ) x SDLR

SDLH = Standard Direct Labor Hour = 2080

DLTV = ( 2000  - 2080 ) x 15.75 USD  

DLTV = 1260 USD

Direct Labor Cost Variance  (DLCV)

DLCV = SDLC - ADLC

SDLC = Standard Direct Labor Cost  

ADLC = Actual Direct Labor Cost

DLCV =  (1540 x 2000) - (15.75 x 2080)

DLCV = 1960 USD

c.

For Part c, we need following:

1. variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV)

2. fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV)

3. Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV)

variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV):

VFOCV =  AFO - B

Where,

AFO = Actual Factory Overhead  = 8200

B = Budgeted Allowance Based on Standard Hours Allowed = 4160x0.5x4

B = 8320 USD

VFOCV =  8200 - 8320  

VFOCV =   120 USD

fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV) :

FFOVV = (S - BH ) x SOR

Where,

S = Standard Hours for actual output = 4160 x 0.5

BH = Budgeted Hours = 2080

SOR = Standard Overhead Rate = 6 USD

FFOVV = (4160 x 0.5  - 2080) x 6

FFOVV =  0 USD

Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV):

TFOCV = AFO - SO

Where,

AFO = Actual Factory Overhead = 20,200

SO = Standard Overhead = 2080 x 10

TFOCV =  20,200 - ( 2080 x 10  )

TFOCV =  600 USD
