The purchase of low-quality materials would most likely the result of a favorable materials price variance coupled with an unfavorable material usage variance. Material price variance is the difference between the cost and the budgeted and actual cost to obtain an object or materials, multiply to the total amount of the product purchased. They are what you called positive value of direct material price and negative value of direct material price. A positive value of direct material price variance is the one that is favorable and it means that the direct material was purchased for a lesser price than the standard price. A negative value of direct material price variance is the one that is unfavorable and it means that more than the expected price per unit is paid.

Consider the case of Demed Inc.: Demed Inc. has 9% annual coupon bonds that are callable and have 18 years left until maturity.

solong [7]

Answer:

A) YTM = 7.64%

B) YTC = 7.36%

C) 8 years

D ) 7.64%

Explanation:

Annual coupon bond rate = 9%

number of year left until maturity = 18

par value of Bonds( FV ) = $1000

current market price( PV ) = $1130.35

Demed can call bonds in 8 years at a call price of $1060

A) what is the Bonds' YTM ( yield to maturity )

we calculate the interest per period ( PMT )

= ( Fv * Annual coupon bond rate) / number of compounding per year

= (1000 * 9% ) / 1 = $90

next we calculate number of compounding periods till maturity ( NPER )

= number of years to maturity * number of compounding per year

= 18 * 1 = 18

using excel formula = RATE ( NPER,PMT,PV,FV) )

hence yield to maturity = 7.64%

B) what is YTC ( yield to call )

we calculate the interest per period ( PMT )

= $1000 * ( coupon rate / number of compounding per year )

= $1000 * ( 9% / 1 ) = $90

next we calculate the number of compounding periods till sell

= 8 * 1 = 8

using excel formula = RATE ( NPER,PMT,PV,FV) )

Hence the YTC = 7.36%

C) Bonds will be called at 8 years and this is because the YTC is less than YTM

D ) The coupon rate for the bonds to be issued at par, is 7.64%

Rollins Corporation is constructing its marginal cost of capital (MCC) schedule. Its target capital structure is 30 percent debt

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The After Tax Cost of Debt = 0.072 or 7.2%

Explanation:

The question is to determine the After Tax Cost of Debt for Rolling Stone.

This is carried out as follows

Step 1: When we decide to calculate the Yield to Maturity, it should be noted that Market Value = Par Value

Therefore,

Coupon Rate which is the same as the Yield to Maturity (YTM) = 12%

Step 2: Based on this derivative, therefore,

After Tax Cost of Debt = Yield TO Maturity Rate (1-Marginal Tax Rate)

= 12% (1-40%)

= 0.12 (1-0.4)

The After Tax Cost of Debt = 0.072 or 7.2%
