Answer: 8%

Explanation:

The Annual Percentage Rate or APR for short is calculated by dividing the finance cost by the total amount borrowed in the following manner,

APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed.

To calculate the Finance charge we add the interest and the service charge.

Finance charge = 25 + 15

= $40

Back to the APR formula we will have,

APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed

APR = 40/500

= 0.08

APR is 8%.

Bond A pays $4,000 in 14 years. Bond B pays $4,000 in 28 years. (To keep things simple, assume these are zero-coupon bonds, whic
Arlecino [84]

Answer and Explanation:

Given that Bond A pays $4,000 in 14 years and Bond B pays $4,000 in 28 years, and that the interest rate is 5 percent, we see that Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is 70/5 = doubled after 14 years. Now if its value is 4000 in 14 years, its current value must be halved. Hence the value is 2000.

Sinilarly the value of Bond B is approximately one fourth now because it pays 4000 in 28 years. Hence its value is 4000/4 = 1000.

Now suppose the interest rate increases to 10 percent. Hence the doubling time is 70/10 = 7 years

Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is now approximately 1,000 and the value of Bond B is 250

Comparing each bond’s value at 5 percent versus 10 percent, Bond A’s value decreases by a smaller percentage than Bond B’s value.

The value of a bond falls when the interest rate increases, and bonds with a longer time to maturity are more sensitive to changes in the interest rate.

The sea wharf restaurant would like to determine the best way to allocate a monthly advertising budget of $1000 between newspape
Andreas93 [3]
From what I understood in the problem, the total budget that covers all types of media is only $1,000 per month. For the allocation, each type of media would get at least 25% of the budget. If we infer on this information, there should only be 4 types of media, at least. This is because four 25% portions would equal to 100%. If it exceeds 25% for each of the four types, it would be over the $1000 budget. With that being said, it is also possible that there will be 3 or 2 types of media. Nevertheless, let's just stick to the least assumption of 25% for each of the 4 types.

If local newspaper advertising is one of the four types, then:

$1000(25%) = $250

It would get $250 from the overall budget.

Edison Corporation's variable manufacturing overhead rate is $5.00 per direct labor-hour. Total budgeted fixed overhead is $25,0
Mila [183]

Answer:

Manufacturing overhead for July will be $55000

Explanation:

We have given budgeted labor hour in month of July = 20000

Variable overhead rate = $5

So variable manufacturing overhead = 20000×$5 = $100000

Fixed manufacturing overhead = $25000

Now total manufacturing overhead = $100000+$25000 = $125000

Depreciation expense = $7000

So manufacturing overhead for July = $125000 - $7000 = $55000

A company has an opening stock of 6,000 units of output. The production planned for the current period is 24,000 units and expec
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

                                                Last year           Current year

Selling Price                      10                         10

Varaible Price                5                         6

Contribution Margin               5                               4

Break even is the point where total cost is equal to total revenue mean no profit and loss.

company earns the contribution margin after covering the variable cost, now only fix cost remains for break even.

Break Even using FIFO method :  first In first out system

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

contribution from opening units(6000*5)                            =     30000

Remaining Fix cost that should be Covered from

current year products                                                            =     56000

 

Units to be sold for break-even ( 56000/4)   = 14000

so we have break even units   6000+14000 = 20000

Fix cost                              = -86000

Opening 6000*5              = 30000

Current   14000*4             = 56000

Profit                                   = 0

Break Even using LIFO method : Last in first out

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

Break even =  Fix Cost / Contribution margin

Break even =  86000/4 =21500

current production is 24000 which is higher than break even units so we can cover the fix cost from current year production because company is using lifo method. we do not need opening units for the break even.
