Suppose a year ago the exchange rate between Mexican pesos and dollars was 13.5 pesos per dollar, and that according to relative

PPP the exchange rate was in equilibrium. Furthermore, assume that since then, Mexican inflation has been 10% while the U.S. inflation has been 3%. If according to relative PPP the peso is now said to be overvalued, what is a possible exchange rate (of pesos per dollar) consistent with this assertion?

Answer:

Correct option is E.

<u>14 pesos per dollar</u>

Explanation:

The exchange rate between Mexican pesos and dollars was 13.5 pesos per dollar.

According to the relative Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), the exchange rate was in equilibrium. But now,

Mexican inflation = 10%

U.S inflation = 3%

Now the Mexican peso is overvalued by = 10% - 3% = 7%

So, the possible increase in exchange rate (of pesos per dollar) considered with this assertion is = Exchange rate of pesos per dollar * Inflation rate

= 13.5 * 7%

= 13.5 * 7/100

= 0.945

The possible in exchange rate = Previous Exchange rate + Increase in exchange rate

= 13.5 + 0.945

= 14.445

= 14.4 (rounding off)

=14

Answer:

1. Discount

2. $449,298.47

3. $369,298.47 gain

4. land reduces by $80,000, investment increases by $449,298.47, reserves increases by $369,298.47

Explanation:

Question 1

Using the formula below

Price=\frac{I_{1}}{1+r} +\frac{I_{2}+F}{(1+r)^{2}}

where

I = interest rate, which is 6% of 500,000 = 30,000

F = Face value, 500,000

r = borrowing cost = 12%

Therefore, the price of the note at the time it was used for payment was

Price=\frac{30,000}{1.12} +\frac{30,000+500,000}{(1.12)^{2}}

= $449,298.47.

As the price is lower than the face value of the note, the note was issued at a discount.

Question 2

The fair market value of the note is $449,298.47, the compute price in question 1.

Question 3

The gain/loss on the sale of the land

= sale price - purchase price

= $449,298.47 - 80,000

= $369,298.47.

Question 4

The transaction would affect Crabb & Co's balance sheet as follows.

<em>Asset side:</em>

land reduces by $80,000

investment increases by $449,298.47

<em>Equity & liabilities side:</em>

reserves increases by $369,298.47

Southern Rim Parts estimates its manufacturing overhead to be $396,000 and its direct labor costs to be $990,000 for year 1. The
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Southern Rim Parts

Journal Entry:

Account Title                        Debit           Credit

Work-in-process inventory  $9,760

Finished goods inventory   24,400

Cost of goods sold              63,440

Manufacturing overhead                      $97,600

To record the prorated under-applied overhead cost.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated manufacturing overhead = $396,000

Estimated direct labor costs = $990,000

Actual manufacturing overhead = $434,000

Actual direct labor costs =  $841,000

Predetermined overhead rate = estimated overhead/estimated direct labor costs = $396,000/$990,000 = $0.40 per DL

Applied overhead:

Work-in-process inventory $ 33,640

Finished goods inventory 84,100

Cost of goods sold 218,660

Total overhead applied = $336,400

Underapplied overhead = $97,600 ($434,000 - $336,400)

Prorating the underapplied overhead to:

Work-in-process inventory $33,640/$336,400 * $97,600 = $9,760

Finished goods inventory 84,100/$336,400 * $97,600 = $24,400

Cost of goods sold 218,660/$336,400 * $97,600 = $63,440

Total underapplied overhead = $97,600
