Answer:

a.

3.51%

b.

0%

Explanation:

a.

First, we need to calculate the YTM of 6 months zero-coupon bond by using the following formula

Price = Face value / ( 1 + YTM )^numbers of years

96.79 = 100 / ( 1 + YTM )^1

1 + YTM = 100 / 96.79

1 + YTM = 1.0331646

Now calculate the YTM of 1 Year zero-coupon bond

93.51 = 100 / ( 1 + YTM )^1

YTM = 1.0331646 - 1

YTM = 0.0331646

YTM = 3.31646%

YTM = 3.316%

1 + YTM = 100 / 93.51

1 + YTM = 1.06940

YTM = 1.06940 - 1

YTM = 0.06940

YTM = 6.940%

YTM = 6.94%

Hence the forward rate is calculated as follow

Forward rate = [ (1 + YTM of 1 year zero coupon bond ) / ( 1 + YTM of 6 months year zero coupon bond ) ] - 1 = ( 1 + 6.94% ) / ( 1 + 3.316% ) = [ 1.0694 / 1.03316 ] - 1 = 1.03508 - 1 = 0.03508 = 3.508% = 3.51%

b.

At the time of inception the formward rate is 0.

Prepare Job-Order Cost Sheets, Predetermined Overhead Rate, Ending Balance of WIP, Finished Goods, and COGS At the beginning of
vova2212 [387]

Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation of overhead rate based on direct labor cost is shown below:-

Overhead rate = Overhead applied × 100 ÷ Direct labor cost

= 888 × 100 ÷ 1,200

= 74%

2. The Preparation of job-order cost sheet for the four jobs is shown below:

Particulars                Job 86        Job 87        Job 88        Job 89

Beginning balance $6,888       $6,820

Direct materials       $3,000      $7,000         $2,100          $1,500

Direct labor              $800          $6,000        $900            $500

Applied overhead  

is 74% of direct labor $592           $4,440       $666            $370

Total                          $11,280       $24,260      $3,666      $2,370

3. The computation of ending balances of Work in Process and Finished Goods is shown below:-

Work in process of Job 88 = $3,666

Finished goods = Total of Job 86 + Total of Job 89

= $11,280 + $2,370

= $13,650

4. The computation of the Cost of Goods Sold for March is shown below:-

Cost of goods sold is

= Job 87

= $24,260

8. Hayward Industries manufactures dining chairs and tables. The following information is available: Dining ChairsTablesTotal Co
Contact [7]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Dining Chairs - Tables - Total cost

Machine setups: 200 - 600 - $48,000

Inspections: 250 - 470 - $72,000

Labor hours: 2,600 - 2,400

A) A single overhead rate:

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (48,000 + 72,000) / (2,600 + 2,400)= $24 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead based on direct labor hours:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Dining Chairs:

Allocated MOH= 24*2,600= $62,400

Tables:

Allocated MOH= 24*2,400= $57,600

B) We have to calculate an overhead rate for each activity cost pool.

<u>Overhead rate:</u>

Machine setups:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 48,000/800= $60 per machine hour set up

Inspections:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 72,000/ 720= $100 per inspection

Based on the overhead rate, we can allocate overhead to each product.

Dining chairs:

Allocated MOH= 60* 200 + 100*250= $37,000

Tables:

Allocated MOH= 60*600 + 100*470= $83,000

C) We can conclude that activity cost allocation is more accurate than using a single rate plant-wide. We can allocate costs more efficiently.
