Answer:

YTM is 4.94%

Explanation:

The  yield  to maturity is the return on the bond throughout the bond's tenure and can be computed using rate function in excel as shown below.

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of coupons the bond has left to pay(23 years*2)

pmt is the semiannual coupon of the bond=$1000*5.3%*6/12=26.5

pv is the curren price=$1000*105%=$1050

fv is the face value of the bond

=rate(46,26.5,-1050,1000)=2.47%

2.47% is the semiannual yield

annual yield=2.47% *2=4.94%

pychu [463]

Answer:

a) direct manufacturing cost    $220,000

b) indirect manufacturing cost $130,000

2 a) the manufacturing department cost will be of $350,000

  b) zero as direct material, labor and overhead can be determinated.

3) a) $40,000

  b) $50,000 advertizement.

4) No as we can set the object cost to determinate the direct and indirect cost of the adminsitrative expenses.

Explanation:

a) The direct manufacturing cost will be the variable manufacturing cost linked to the unit cost:

Materials $7 + Labor $4 = $11 per unit

20,000 units x $11.00 = $ 220,000

b) indirect manufacturing cost will be the overhead.

20,000 x ($1.5 + $5) = 130,000

2)

a) Materials, labor and overhead.

which totals for 350,000

2 b) all the manufacturing cost are traceable so zero.

3)

fixed selling

20,000 x 3.5 = 70,000

less 50,000 advertizement = 20,000

variable sales:

commisions $1 x 20,000 + 20,000 = 40,000 direct cost (sales persons)

b) the indirect cost will be the advertizement as cannot be linked directly to the sales person cost.

Most firms in the apparel and footwear industries choose to outsource production to countries where labor is abundant​ (primaril
RideAnS [48]

Answer: Outsource production to other countries where labour is abundant because labour in those countries are cheaper than in their home countries.in order to reduce the cost of Production and maximize profit, on the other hand a firm may use capital intensive production technique in order to improve efficiency in production and cut cost which will also translate to profit maximization.

Explanation:

Production is the creation of goods and services in order to satisfy human wants.production is not complete untill the goods is finally in the hands of consumers. There are four factors of production which are land, Labour, capital and entrepreneurs.

The Labour is the productive power of the individual. It refers to the actual effort both physical and mental made by human being in production. The Labour intensive industry is a kind of industry where extensive use of human Labour in production is more than the use of machine in production. The capital as one of the factors of production, is the wealth which has been set aside for the production of further wealth. This is because capital plays an important role in increasing production. Capital such as tools,machines,equipment, help in increasing production. The capital intensive industry is therefore, the extensive use of machines in production than human effort in the production of goods. The replacement of machines with human Labour enhances efficiency because of the difficult work which can easily be performed with the use of machine.It also aid in the mass production of goods because machines increases output per man. Therefore we can say that production function can be written as x= f ( K,L) where K is capital and L is labour

The product output depends on the techniques of production used in the production of such goods. Given the firm's capital outlay for inputs, the more efficient the technique used the greater will be the firm's output, and the less efficient the technique used the smaller will be its output. The product output also depends on the quantity and quality of resources used in production, a firm can increase or decrease output by increasing or decreasing the quantity of all resources or inputs used. The firm may choose to outsource production to countries where Labour is abundant such as the south east Asia because the Labour is abundant and cheap. They do this in order to reduce their cost of Production and at the end of the day maximize profit. While the firm which use capital intensive production technique use it in order to improve efficiency of their production and also to cut cost of Production which will also increase profit .

This pricing tactic works because although we can remember the exact price right when we see the price, after a few weeks we for
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: A. the 99 principle

Explanation:

This strategy, often called "charm pricing," involves using pricing that ends in "9" and "99."

With charm pricing, the left digit is reduced from a round number by one cent. We come across this technique every time we make purchases but don’t pay attention. For example, your brain processes $3.00 and $2.99 as different values: To your brain $2.99 is $2.00, which is cheaper than $3.00.

How is this technique effective? It all boils down to how a brand converts numerical values. In 2005, Thomas and Morwitz conducted research they called "the left-digit effect in price cognition." They explained that, “Nine-ending prices will be perceived to be smaller than a price one cent higher if the left-most digit changes to a lower level (e.g., $3.00 to $2.99), but not if the left-most digit remains unchanged (e.g., $3.60 to $3.59).”
