Answer:
Interest expense and a gain.
Explanation:
US GAAP allows companies to report their financial assets or financial liabilities at their fair market value, this is called the fair value option.
If interest rates increase, and of course the coupon rate is fixed, then they value of bonds will decrease. The same logic applies to bonds sold at a discount.
In this case, the company must report an interest expense in the income statement regardless of what happens to the interest rate, since the company must pay the coupon rate.
Since the price of the bonds decreased, then the company's liabilities (bonds payable) decrease, so the company must report a gain = bond's previous value - bond's current value
Answer:
Total slack
Explanation:
Total slack is defines as the time that tasks are delayed which will eventually affect the finishing date of a project.
Total slack can be either positive or negative. Positive slack is when delay in tasks do not affect project finish date, and negative slack are delays that affect project finish date.
Total slack is calculated as difference between smaller value of late finish and early finish.
Tom shares 4 days of his slack with the contractor.
So he has 10- 4 = 6 days slack
The total slack is 6 + 4= 10 days
In this scenario the difference between late start and early start is 9 - 5= 4 days
Answer:
The total overhead variance in hours taken is 3,600 hours
The total overhead cost variance is $1,110
Explanation:
The variance is about the different between budget/ standard and actual figures.
Standard hours allowed for the work done is 22,200 hours; and the predetermined overhead rate is $5.75 per direct labor hour. So total cost budgeted for work done is $127,650 = $5.57 x 22,200 hours
The total overhead variance in hours taken = standard hours of 22,200 - actual direct labor hours of 18,600 = 3,600 hours
The total overhead cost variance = standard cost - actual cost = $127,650 - $126,540 = $1,110
Answer:
a.$37,560
Explanation:
Cash balance $40,000 at month end = Cash balance $52,000 at beginning + cash receipts in June of $532,160 - cash disbursements of $581,720 + New borrowing
⇔ $40,000 = $2,440 + new borrowing
⇔ New borrowing = $40,000 - $2,440 = $37,560
If Skot wishes to maintain a cash balance of $40,000, Skot have to borrow $37,560 if it started the month with a cash balance of $52,000
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
We can be 90% confident that the mean amount of money spent at sporting events last year by all the students at this university is between $ 217 and $ 677.
The interval offered by option A, is the same result obtained by the student on his research. By the definition the confidence interval permit us to conclude that the mean of the population would be on that interval.
