When you buy a car, you own the car when you finish paying. Leasing is when you rent it.
Answer:
a. $13
b. $20,625 Unfavorable
Explanation:
a. Computation of overhead volume variance is shown below:-
Variable overhead rate = Variable overhead cost ÷ Expected standard hours
= $275,000 ÷ 25,000
= 11 direct labor hour
Fixed overhead rate = Productive capacity ÷ Expected standard hours
= $50,000 ÷ 25,000
= $2 direct labor hour
Total overheard rate = Variable overhead rate + Fixed overhead rate
= $11 + $2
= $13
b. The computation of overhead controllable variance is shown below:-
Variable overhead cost = Overhead rate × Standard hours
= $11 × 21,875
= $240,625
Fixed overhead cost = Overhead rate × Standard hours
= $2 × 21,875
= $43,750
Total overhead cost = $13 × 21,875
= $284,375
Actual result = $305,000
Variance = Actual result - overhead cost applied
= $305,000 - $284,375
= $20,625 Unfavorable
Working note:-
Standard direct labor hours = Actual units ÷ Standard hours
= 35,000 × 1.6
= $21,875
Standard units per hour = (Standard capacity × Expected production) ÷ Standard hours
= (50,000 units × 80%) ÷ 25,000 hours
= 1.6 units per hour
Answer:
Option A The impact of a change in the local currency on inflow and outflow variables can sometimes be indirect and therefore different from what is expected.
Explanation:
The reason is that the changes in the currency exchange rate in which the company receives the payment and is also not a home currency, such risk exposure is known as economic exposure. So the only option that correct here is option A.
Option B is incorrect because depreciation is non cash item and it is not exposed to currency fluctuations.
Option C and D are also incorrect because domestic firms don't face any economic exposure.
Answer:
a. What is the expected return of the risky corporate bond over the 5-year holding-period (in %)?
expected return in $ = (50% x 20% x $1,000 x 4) + (50% x 35% x $1,000 x 4) = $400 + $700 = $1,100
holding period return = ($1,100 - $1,000) / $1,000 = 10%
b. What is its effective annual return?
(1 + 10%)⁰°² - 1 = 1.92%
b. What is its effective annual return?
- 2. The government bond is the superior investment
The yield of he corporate bond is very low and the risk is too high.
Answer: e. 8.61%
Explanation:
This is a perpetual bond so the price is calculable by;
Price = Coupon / Yield to Maturity
Coupon = 7.75% * 1,000
= $77.50
900 = 77.50/ YTM
900 * YTM = 77.50
YTM = 77.50/900
= 8.61%
