Answer:
A - If a bond sells at a discount, the yield to maturity is greater than the current yield
Explanation:
Yield to maturity is the expected return if the bond is held till maturity. Current yiled is the return if the bond is sold today. There is an evident relationship between yield to maturity (TYM) and the current yield.
“When a bond's market price is above par, which is known as a premium bond, its current yield and YTM are lower than its coupon rate. Conversely, when a bond sells for less than par, which is known as a discount bond, its current yield and YTM are higher than the coupon rate. Only on occasions when a bond sells for its exact par value are all three rates identical” (Bloomenthal, 2020).
According to the above statements, options C, B and D are eliminated. This leaves option A (If a bond sells at a discount, the yield to maturity is greater than the current yield) as the correct answer. This is true because YTM is calculated on purchase price rather than par value, if the purchase price is less than par value, the YTM will be greater than the current yield.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Interest rate Fiscal year-end Interest expense
12% December 31
10% September 30
9% October 31
6% January 31
Answer:
In accrual basis accounting, expenses are recorded in the period when their matching revenues are obtained.
In this case, even if the full interest will be paid at maturity, interest expense will still be recorded in each period according to the information that we are given in the question.
Interest expense to be recorded by December 31
5,200,000 * 0.12 = 624,000 / 2 = 312,000
Interest expense to be recorded by September 30
5,200,000 * 0.10 = 520,000 * 3/12 = 130,000
Interest expense to be recorded by October 31
5,200,000 * 0.09 = 468,000 * 4/12 = 156,000
Interest expense to be recorded by January 31
5,200,000 * 0.06 = 312,000 * 7/12 = 182,000
Answer:
the stock price is $45.44
Explanation:
The computation of the stock price is shown below:
Sales per share is
= Total sales ÷ stock outstanding shares
= $3,010,000 ÷ 106,000 shares
= $28.40
Now
Benchmark PS = Stock price ÷ Sales per share
Stock price = $28.40 × 1.6
= $45.44
hence, the stock price is $45.44
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
B. must be forgone; orange
C. people are willing to forgo; potato
D. people are willing to forgo; orange
Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
The marginal cost is also defined as the opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost refers to the value or quantity of one good that must be foregone to produce one extra unit of other good. Here, the opportunity cost of producing potatoes is the number of oranges.
If Monday Island wants to increase the production of potatoes then it must sacrifices some of the units of oranges.
Answer:
B. Expected Return and Beta
Explanation:
The security market line displays the expected return of an individual asset as a function of it systematic risk (the diversifiable risk) as identified by beta if an asset is correctly priced it lies on the SML and if it lies above the SML it is undervalued because they yield a higher return for a given amount of risk and if it lies below the SML it is overvalued because for a given amount of risk it yield a lower return.
Answer:
Direct Labor Rate Variance = $950
Direct Labor Efficiency Variance = $600
Total Direct Labor Spending Variance = $1,550
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Standard labor cost per unit = $12
Direct labor hours = 1,900
Actual Direct labor paid = $21,850
Units sold during the month = 1,950
Standard rate, SR = $12
Now,
Actual rate per unit, AR = $21,850 ÷ 1,900
= $11.5
Direct Labor Rate Variance = ( SR - AR ) × Actual hours
= ( $12 - $11.5 ) × 1900
= $950 ( Favourable )
Direct Labor Efficiency Variance = ( Standard hours - Actual hour ) × SR
= ( 1950 - 1900 ) × $12
= $600 ( favourable )
Total Direct Labor Spending Variance = Standard cost - actual cost
= ( 1950 × 12 ) - 21,850
= $1,550 (favourable )
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, multiply the standard labor rate per hour by the actual labor hours and subtract the actual labor cost. To calculate the efficiency variance, multiply the standard labor rate per unit by the difference between the actual units produced and the standard units allowed. To calculate the spending variance, multiply the standard labor rate per unit by the difference between the actual labor cost and the budgeted labor cost.
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we multiply the standard labor rate per hour by the actual labor hours and subtract the actual labor cost. In this case, the standard labor rate per unit is $12, so the actual labor rate is $12. To calculate the efficiency variance, we multiply the standard labor rate per unit by the difference between the actual units produced and the standard units allowed. In this case, the standard units allowed is 1,900 and the actual units produced is 1,950. To calculate the spending variance, we multiply the standard labor rate per unit by the difference between the actual labor cost and the budgeted labor cost. In this case, the budgeted labor cost is $12 per hour and the actual labor cost is $21,850.
