Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

It is given that Irene invested $27,000 in a twelve-year CD bearing 8.0% interest.

Total interest = Principal × Rate × Time

Principal = $27,000

Rate = 8% = 0.08

Time = 12 years

$\text{Total interest}=27000\times 0.08\times 12=25920$

Irene earn total $25,920 if she had not made her early withdrawal.

If she withdraw $6000 after three years, then the total interest is

$\text{Total interest}=27000\times 0.08\times 3+(27000-6000)\times 0.08\times (12-3)$

$\text{Total interest}=6480+21000\times 0.08\times 9$

$\text{Total interest}=6480+15120=21600$

If the CD’s penalty for early withdrawal was eighteen months’ worth of interest on the amount withdrawn.

$\text{Penalty}=6000\times 0.08\times \frac{18}{12}=720$

$21600-720=20880$

Irene earn total $20880 if she had made her early withdrawal.

$25920-20880=5040$

Irene earn $5,040 less money if she had made her early withdrawal.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Answer:

If you have not been trained to process damages / final disposition items and you need to dispose of Front Store items that may be considered hazardous waste, you must contact the Manager-on-Duty.

If you have been trained and assigned, you should be able to read product labels to determine if a product may be considered hazardous waste when scanning.

Moreso, if in doubt and If someone is not available to answer your question about a waste, you should immediately place the item in a StrongPak self-sealing bag and set it aside in the damages processing area until a properly trained person can make a hazardous waste determination.

Every drug sales outlet uses a waste management program to properly manage hazardous waste until it is picked up by Stericycle for disposal at a licensed facility.

Also, check for the 2 x 2 Returns Window, to determine if an expired bottle of a drug could be returned.

The following information was drawn from the accounting records of Chapin Company. On January 1, Year 1, Chapin paid $56,000 cas

mote1985 [20]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

a)

The truck was bought for $56,000 and has a 5 year useful value after which it will have a salvage value of $6,000.

Depreciation can therefore be calculated as,

= ( Cost - Salvage) / Useful life

= (56,000 - 6,000) / 5

= $10,000

It will be depreciated at $10,000 per year.

Recording it will be,

DR Depreciation $10,000

CR Accumulated Depreciation (Truck) $10,000

(To record Depreciation expense to the year)

b) The Book Value is calculated as the Original Cost less the Accumulated Depreciation.

The Accumulated Depreciation so far being the first year is only $10,000.

The Book Value therefore is,

= 56,000 - 10,000

= $46,000

c) It is estimated that 5% of Credit Sales will be Uncollectible. This will go into the Uncollectible Account Balance. This is done to cater for the possibility that some people will not pay the money they owe so if they don't, it is simply taken from this account.

Sales are $320,000 and 5% are estimated Uncollectible.

This means that,

= 320,000 * 5%

= $16,000 will be recorded in the Uncollectible Account Balance

Recording it looks like,

DR Uncollectible Account Expense $16,000

CR Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $16,000

(To record Uncollectible Account Expense)

d) The Net Realizable Value of the Receivables will be Receivables less the Uncollectible Account Expense which will be removed to reflect the belief that some debtors will default.

Receivables are $68,000 and the Uncollectible Amount is $ 16,000.

Net Realizable Value = 68,000 - 16,000

Net Realizable Value = $52,000

Net interest margin—often referred to as spread—is the difference between the rate banks pay on deposits and the rate they charg

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

(a) $P(X\:>\:5.40)=0.9938$

(b) $P(X\:$

(c) X=4.975 percent

Explanation:

(a) Find the z-value that corresponds to 5.40 percent

. $Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

$Z=\frac{5.40-4.15}{0.5}$

$Z=\frac{1.25}{0.5}=2.5$

Hence the net interest margin of 5.40 percent is 2.5 standard deviation above the mean.

The area to the left of 2.5 from the standard normal distribution table is 0.9938.The probability that a randomly selected U.S. bank will have a net interest margin that exceeds 5.40 percent is 1-0.9938=0.0062

(b) The z-value that corresponds to 4.40 percent is $Z=\frac{4.40-4.15}{0.5}=0.5$ The net interest margin of 4.40 percent is 0.5 standard deviation above the mean.

Using the normal distribution table, the area under the curve to the left of 0.5 is 0.6915

Therefore the probability that a randomly selected U.S. bank will have a net interest margin less than 4.40 percent is 0.6915

(c) The z-value that corresponds to 95% which is 1.65

We substitute the 1.65 into the formula and solve for X. $1.65=\frac{X-4.15}{0.5}$

$1.65\times 0.5=X-4.15$ $0.825=X-4.15$

$0.825+4.15=X$

$4.975=X$

A bank that wants its net interest margin to be less than the net interest margins of 95 percent of all U.S. banks should set its net interest margin to 4.975 percent.

Merle Corporation applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours. For the most recent month,

bixtya [17]

Answer: $721 Unfavorable

Explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

Actual hours = 3690 hours

Standard hours = 3620 hours

Standard rate per hour = ($14000 + $27200) / 4000

= $41200 / 4000

= $10.30 per hour

Therefore, the overall variable overhead efficiency variance for the month is calculated as:

= (Actual Hours - Standard Hours) × Standard rate per hour

= (3690 - 3620) × $10.30

= 70 × $10.30

= $721 Unfavorable
