Marketing and sales innovations make use of advertising to create awareness about products. Advertising is a kind of communication which typically persuade people to buy an idea, product or service. Advertisers usually intentionally create messages to convince the consumers that they need the product that is been advertised.

Carradine Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Amount of overhead applied is $270

correct option is (a) $270

Explanation:

given data

overhead cost = $105,000

overheat rate = $3 per machine hour

manufacturing overhead = 70000 machine hour

required = 60 machine hours

to find out

The amount of overhead applied to Job P 233 is closest to

solution

we find manufacturing overhead rate here that is

manufacturing overhead rate = $\frac{overhead cost}{manufacturing overhead}$

put here value

manufacturing overhead rate = $\frac{105000}{70000}$

manufacturing overhead rate = 1.5 per machine hour

and

Total manufacturing overhead rate will be for overheat rate $3

Total manufacturing overhead rate = (3 + 1.5) = $4.5 per machine hour

so we can say that Amount of overhead is job P 233 is

Amount of overhead applied = 60 × $4.5 = 270

so here correct option is (a) $270

Method A assumes simple interest over final fractional periods, while Method B assumes simple discount over final fractional per

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The answer is "1.1"

Explanation:

In the case of a single Interest, the principal value is determined as follows:

$\ I = Prt \\\ A = P + I\\A = P(1+rt) \\\\A = amount \\P= principle\\r = rate\\t= time$

In case of discount:

$D = Mrt \\P = M - D \\P = M(1-rt)\\\\Where, D= discount \\M =\ Maturity \ value \\$

Let income amount = 100, time = 1.5 years, and rate =20 %.

Formula:

A = P(1+rt)

A =P+I

by putting vale in the above formula we get the value that is = 76.92, thus method A will give 76.92 value.

If we calculate discount then the formula is:

P = M(1-rt)

M = 100 rate and time is same as above.

$P = 100(1-0.2 \times 1.5) \\P = 100 \times \frac{70}{100} \\P = 70$

Thus Method B will give the value that is 70

calculating ratio value:

$ratio = \frac{\ method\ A \ value} {\ method \ B \ value}\\\\\Rightarrow ratio = \frac{76.92}{70}\\\\\Rightarrow ratio = \frac{7692}{7000}\\\\\Rightarrow ratio = 1.098 \ \ \ \ or \ \ \ \ 1.$

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

8.1%

Explanation:

Firstly, let look at the formula for calculating weighted average cost of capital (WACC):

WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (E/A) x r_E + (PE/A) x r_PE, where:

A: Market value of company asset;

D: Market value of company debt;

E: Market value of company equity;

PE: Market value of company preferred equity;

r_D: cost of debt;

r_E: cost of equity/retained earnings;

r_PE: cost of preferred equity;

t: tax rate

Putting all the numbers together, we have:

WACC = 35% x 6.5% x (1-25%) + 55% x 10.5% + 10% x 6% = 8.1%
