Answer:
Sales price variance = Actual quantity sold * (Actual price - Budgeted selling price)
Sales price variance = 1,135,200 * ($38 - $39)
Sales price variance = 1,135,200 * $1
Sales price variance = $1,135,200 Unfavorable
Sales volume variance = Budgeted selling price * (Actual quantity - Budgeted quantity)
Sales volume variance = $39 * (1,135,200 - 1,104,000)
Sales volume variance = $39 * 31,200
Sales volume variance = $1,216,800 Favorable
Total revenue variance = (Actual quantity * Actual price) - (Budgeted quantity * Budgeted price)
Total revenue variance = (1,135,200 * $38) - (1,104,000 * $39)
Total revenue variance = $43,137,600 - $43,056,000
Total revenue variance = $81,600 Favorable
Imprudential, Inc., has an unfunded pension liability of $750 million that must be paid in 17 years. To assess the value of the firm's stock, financial analysts want to discount this liability back to the present. If the relevant discount rate is 8.0 percent, what is the present value of this liability
Answer:
$202,701,713.58
Explanation:
Present value of this liability = Value of liability / ((1+r)^t)
Present value of this liability = $750 million / ((1+0.08)^17)
Present value of this liability = $750 million / (1.08)^17
Present value of this liability = $750 million / 3.7000180548
Present value of this liability = $202,701,713.5840815
Present value of this liability = $202,701,713.58
A stock has an average expected return of 9.7 percent for the next year. The beta of the stock is 1.34. The T-Bill rate is 5.2% and the T-Bond rate is 3%. What is the market risk premium
Answer:
3.4%
Explanation:
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
9.7 = 5.2 + 1.34(x - 5.2)
9.7 - 5.2 = 1.34(x - 5.2)
3.35 = x - 5.2

What is the present value of a 10-year annuity of $3,000 per period in which payments come at the beginning of each period
Answer: $18984.9
Explanation:
Your question isn't complete as you didn't give the interest rate. Let's assume that the interest rate is 12%.
Therefore, the present value will be:
= 3000 + 3000[1 - (1 + 0.12)^-10+1] / 0.12
= 3000 + (3000 × 5.3283)
= 3000 + 15984.9
= 18984.9
Therefore, the present value is $18984.9
Mainway Toy Company currently has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Its management believes that its current stock price of $95 per share is too high. The company is planning to conduct stock splits in the ratio of 2 for 1 as described in the animation. If Mainway Toy Company declares a 2-for-1 stock split, the price of the company's stock after the split, assuming that the total value of the firm's stock remains the same after the split, will be ____________.
Answer:
$47.50
Explanation:
A stock split implies dividing the existing number of shares into multiples in order to enhance the liquidity of the firm's shares.
It is noteworthy that the stock split does not add any value to the existing stock account balance as well as paid in surplus account value since only the number of issued shares changed , values are kept constant.
share price after split=share price before split/stock split ratio
share price before split=$95
stock split ratio=2/1
share price after split=$95/2/1
share price after split=$95*1/2
share price after split=$47.50
Even though most corporate bonds in the united states make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. suppose a german company issues a bond with a par value of 1000 euros, 23 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 5.8 percent paid annually.
Required:
If the yield to maturity is 7.5 percent, what is the current price of the bond?
Answer:
Bond Price= 816.29
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
YTM= 0.075
Coupon= 0.058*1,000= 58
Years to maturity= 23 years
Face value= 1,000
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 58*{[1 - (1.075^-23)] / 0.075} + [1,000/(1.075^23)]
Bond Price= 626.79 + 189.5
Bond Price= 816.29

Since you are the buyer, your trade will be executed at the bid price of 55.25. This is because the bid price is the highest price you as a buyer will pay for a security.
b. Suppose you have submitted an order to sell at market. At what price will your trade be executed? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Since you are the seller, your trade will be executed at the ask price of 55.50. This is beecausee the ask price is the lowest price uou as a seller will accept for a security.
Year Nominal GDP Real GDP GDP Deflator (Dollars) (Base year 2016, dollars) 2016 2017 2018 From 2017 to 2018, nominal GDP , and real GDP. The inflation rate in 2018 was.
Why is real GDP a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP?
Answer:
Explanation:
The Real GDP is defined as the Nominal GDP minus the inflation effect.
Real GDP provides a more accurate picture of economic growth than nominal GDP because it uses constant prices, making comparisons between years more meaningful by allowing for comparisons of the actual volume of goods and services without considering inflation.
Let's say you bought apples at 5dollars per pound in 2015. Imagining a country of 1000 people and considering everyone bought a pound apples and only apples in that year, the GDP comes out to be 1000*5 = 5000 dollars.
Now let's say inflation rate is 10 percent in 2016 which will increase the price to 5.5 dollars per pound. Also, in one year, 10 more people were added to the country (No of births - No of deaths = New people in that year), this brings out total population to around 1010.
Also, let's say that the sale of apples remained the same, so the GDP of 2016 comes out to be 1000*5.5 = 5500 dollars.
That's a whooping 10% increase in GDP, right?
But here the catch.
The GDP increased not because the demand increased, but because the price of the good increased.
If we see at previous year's price (Not considering the inflation, also called Real GDP), the GDP is same which is 5000 dollars.
So, in reality, there isn't any increase in GDP.

Zebra Company sells a segment of its operations at a loss. Zebra has not previously experienced such an event and does not expect to again. The loss from the disposal of the segment should be reported in the income statement as: Select one: A. A separate amount in comprehensive income B. A separate amount in net income from continuing operations C. A separate amount in a discontinued operations section D. As part of cost of goods sold
Answer:
C. A separate amount in a discontinued operations section
Explanation:
Since in the given situation it is mentioned that zebra co sells the segment at a loss so this loss from the sale of the segment that should be reported in the income statement as the distinct amount in the discontinued operating section as the same below the income from continuing operations
Hence, the correct option is c.
Answer:
The answer is "Option C".
Explanation:
The discontinued operations are parts of a company's core business or product line that have been sold or shut down and thus are reported separately on the financial statements from ongoing operations. As a result, any loss from the sale of the segment should indeed be reported as a separate amount inside the income statement's discontinued operations column.

Tech Solutions is a consulting firm that uses a job-order costing system. Its direct materials consist of hardware and software that it purchases and installs on behalf of its clients. The firm’s direct labor includes salaries of consultants that work at the client’s job site, and its overhead consists of costs such as depreciation, utilities, and insurance related to the office headquarters as well as the office supplies that are consumed serving clients. Tech Solutions computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 50,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period’s estimated level of client service. The company also estimated $225,000 of fixed overhead cost for the coming period and variable overhead of $0.50 per direct labor-hour. The firm’s actual overhead cost for the year was $238,100 and its actual total direct labor was 53,100 hours. Required: 1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Tech Solutions started and completed the Xavier Company engagement. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 44,850 Direct labor cost $ 28,200 Direct labor hours worked 200 Compute the total job cost for the Xavier Company engagement.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1. The predetermined overhead rate is
= $0.50 + ($225,000 ÷ 50,000 direct labor hours)
= $.50 + $4.5
= $5
2. The total job cost is
= $44,850 + $28,200 + 200 × $5
= $44,850 + $28,200 + $1,000
= $74,050
So in this way these can be calculated
Several years ago, Judy purchased a $1,000 par value corporate bond in the secondary market for $965. Although the bond still has several years until maturity, similar bonds in the marketplace are now selling at a premium with a market price of $1,065. If Judy were to sell her bond, how much, if any, would be treated as a capital gain
Answer: $100
Explanation:
The capita gain is simply the difference between the price that Judy bough the bond at and the price of the bond should Judy decide to sell it now.
Capital gain is therefore:
= Selling price - Buying price
= 1,065 - 965
= $100

Please EXPLAIN answer for a thumps-up. I'm tried of wrong answers, please don't answer it unless you are 100% sure.
Answer:
A. The correct option is b. $46,067.
B. The correct option is d. $46,620.
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
A. Assuming that Rich does not maintain perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the weighted-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar?
Note: See part A of the attached excel file for the calculation of the of units and cost of goods available for sale.
Since Rich does not maintain perpetual inventory records, this implies that this is a periodic inventory system. And update to inventory in a periodic inventory system are made on a regular basis, such as monthly, quarterly, etc.
From the part A attached excel file, we have:
Units of goods available for sale = 23,100
Cost of goods available for sales = $236,481
Weighted-average cost per unit = Cost of goods available for sales / Units of goods available for sale = $236,481 / 23,100 = $10.2372727272727
Inventory at January 31 = Units of inventory balance at January 31 * Weighted-average cost per unit = 4,500 * $10.2372727272727 = $46,068
From the options the closest one is b. $46,067. Therefore, the inventory at January 31 is $46,067 and the correct option is b. $46,067.
B. Assuming that Rich maintains perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the moving-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar?
Note: See part B of the attached excel file for the calculation of the inventory at January 31 (in bold red color).
Under Perpetual Inventory system, the inventory is updated whenever a purchase or sale is made. It's a procedure that happens in real time.
In the Part B of the attached excel file, the following rates in light red color are made as follows:
Rate on January 6 = ($87,930 + $61,800) / 15,000 = $9.98 per unit
Rate on January 26 = ($74,865 + 86,751) / 15,600 = $10.36 per unit
From the part B attached excel file, we have:
Inventory at January 31 = $46,620.
Therefore, the correct option is d. $46,620.

The budgeted inventory at the end of a month is 40 percent of units to be sold the following month. Purchase price per unit is $6. Prepare a purchases budget in units and dollars for each month, January through May.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the purchase for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases January:
Production= 130,000
Desired ending inventory= (170,000*0.4)= 68,000
Beginning inventory= (40,000)
Total purchase in units= 158,000
Total purchase cost= 158,000*6= $948,000
Purchases February:
Production= 170,000
Desired ending inventory= (190,000*0.4)= 76,000
Beginning inventory= (68,000)
Total purchase in units= 178,000
Total purchase cost= 178,000*6= $1,068,000
Purchases March:
Production= 190,000
Desired ending inventory= (200,000*0.4)= 80,000
Beginning inventory= (76,000)
Total purchase in units= 194,000
Total purchase cost= 194,000*6= $1,164,000
Purchases April:
Production= 200,000
Desired ending inventory= (180,000*0.4)= 72,000
Beginning inventory= (80,000)
Total purchase in units= 192,000
Total purchase cost= 192,000*6= $1,152,000
Purchases May:
Production= 180,000
Desired ending inventory= (250,000*0.4)= 100,000
