Grey, Inc., uses a predetermined rate to apply overhead. At the beginning of the year, Grey budgeted its overhead costs at $220,000, direct labor hours at 55,000, and machine hours at 20,000. Actual overhead costs incurred were $233,250, actual direct labor hours were 62,000, and actual machine hours were 15,000. If the PDOH rate uses machine hours as the cost driver, what is the total amount credited to the overhead account control account
Answer:
$165,000
Explanation:
Calculation for what is the total amount credited to the manufacturing overhead account for the year for Grey
First step is to calculate Predetermined overhead rate using this formula
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overhead costs / Estimated machine hours
Let plug in the formula
Predetermined overhead rate = $220,000 / 20,000 machine hours
Predetermined overhead rate= $11
Second step is to calculate Total amount credited to the factory overhead account for the year for Grey
Using this formula
Total amount credited to the factory overhead account for the year for Grey = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual machine hours
Let plug in the formula
Total amount credited to the factory overhead account for the year for Grey= $11 × 15,000 machine hours
Total amount credited to the factory overhead account for the year for Grey = $165,000
Therefore the Total amount credited to the factory overhead account for the year for Grey will be $165,000
Suppose you buy a put option contract on October gold futures with a strike price of $1200 per ounce. Each contract is for the delivery of 100 ounces. What happens if you exercise when the October futures price is $1,180?
Answer:
Strike price of October gold future = $1,200 per ounce
The exercise price = $1,180
To calculate the amount that will help the investor to decide about the position
Amount added to margin = (Strike price - Future price) * Delivery if each contract
Amount added to margin = ($1,200 - $1,180) * 100
Amount added to margin = $20 * 100
Amount added to margin = $2,000
Therefore, the amount of $2,000 is received. The investor has short position on future contracts to sell 100 ounces of gold in October.
A one year call option has a strike price of 50, expires in 6 months, and has a price of $4.74. If the risk free rate is 3%, and the current stock price is $45, what should the corresponding put be worth?
A) $12.74.
B) $10.48.
C) $5.00.
D) $9.00.
E) $8.30.
Answer:
$9.90
Explanation:
Using Put Call Parity Equation:
C + X/(1 + r)^t + S + P
Call price + PV of exercise price = Spot price + Put price
4.74 + 50/(1.03)^0.30 = 45 + P
4.74 + 50/1.00891 = 45 + P
4.74 + 49.5584 = 45 + P
P = 4.74 + 49.5584 - 45
P = 9.2984
P = $9.90
Thus, the Price of Put Option with $50 exercise price = $9.90
Assume that Smith deposits $500 in currency into her checking account in the XYZ Bank. Later that same day, Jones negotiates a loan for $2,000 at the same bank. In what direction and by what amount has the supply of money changed?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Supply of money simply means the money available at a particular time period for an economy.
In the above scenario, the loan of $2000 will lead to an increase in the supply of money available in the economy by $2000.
It should be noted that the deposit made by Smith in the value of $500 does not bring about in the change of the money supply. This is because tye. $500 is still considered to be part of the money supply that is available in the economy.

The firm should shut down if the market price is:___________.
A. above $8.
B. above $6.30 but less than $8.
C. above $4.50 but less than $6.30.
D. less than $4.50.
Answer: D. less than $4.50.
Explanation:
In the short run, a business should shutdown if the market price is below the Average Variable costs as because at this point, only losses are being made if the company stays in action.
If price is below the variable cost, it is best to shutdown so that the company can stop incurring the variable costs and incur the fixed cost alone. The lowest Average Variable cost is $4.50 for this good and so if the price falls below $4.50, the should shutdown.

Only contingent liabilities that are probable and can be actually estimated must be recorded in the income statement and balance sheet. Contingent liabilities that are only possible, but not probable, must be disclosed in the footnotes of the financial statements. Liabilities that are not possible, nor probable, should not be included anywhere.
Suppose that bicycles and skateboards are substitute goods. All else equal, if the price of bicycles decreases, there will be:_____.a. an upward movement upward along the bicycle demand curve.b. a downward movement along the skateboard demand curve.c. a decrease in the demand curve for skateboards.d. an increase in the demand curve for bicycles.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of each other by consumers.
If the price of bicycles declines, there would be a movement down along the demand curve for bicycles.
The decrease in the price of bicycles leads to a shift in the demand curve for skateboards and not a movement along the demand curve for bicycles.
If the price of bicycles decreases, consumers would increase their demand for bicycles and demand less of skateboards. This would lead to a leftward shift of the demand curve for skateboards or a decrease in the demand curve for skateboards

The diagram shows the market for fresh fish in the Caribbean with equilibrium point X. New, more efficient boats with lower running costs are then used.
Which point represents the new equilibrium?
Answer:
Point C
Diagram is available online but cannot be imported due to its format
Explanation:
A reduction in the cost of inputs means that suppliers will avail more fish in the market. An increase in supply caused by other factors other than price shifts the supply to the right. A shift of the supply curve outwards or the right makes the equilibrium point to move to capture an increase in supply.
In the diagram, the new equilibrium point will be at point C. The supply will increase due to a reduction in input costs.
The common stock of the C.A.L.L. Corporation has been trading in a narrow range around $50 per share for months. The price of a 3-month put option with an exercise price of $50 is $4. If the risk-free interest rate is 10% per year, what must be the price of a 3-month call option on C.A.L.L. stock at an exercise price of $50 if it is at the money
Answer:
$5.18

Susan won $2,000 at the blackjack tables on her birthday. Her winnings are an example of:________.
a. an in-kind transfer.
b. transitory income.
c. life-cycle income.
d. permanent income.
Answer:
B. Transitory income.
Explanation:
As the name sounds, it is seen to be a form of income that is said to be anticipated. This form of income does not play key roles in the standard of living of the said person. This income is clearly a short-lived kind as it cannot hold a person or family towards a certified period of time. Also in many cases, economists are seen to believe that people base their consumption on their permanent income, therefore, inequality in consumption is one gauge of inequality of permanent income; making consumption less effectective, as transitory changes in income, they are more equally is current income.
A firm will often split the stock to keep the stock price within a proper trading range.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
Many times a corporation might carry out a stock split in order to prevent the price of its stock to become too expensive. E.g. when Apple's stocks get too expensive, stock splits occur, The last occasion the split stocks was 7:1, i.e. for every existing Apple stock, 6 new ones were issued.
This occurs because if the price of the stock is too high, it will be harder for small investors. Remember that the total capitalization is not affected by a stock split.

Agency relationship refers to a consensual relationship between two parties, where one person (the principal) or entity authorizes the other, the agent, to act on his, her, or its behalf. Agency relationships exist in most large corporations due to the separation of management from ownership. The lack of alignment of the principal and the agent interests create an agency cost. What are the main implications of this separation
Answer:
The main implications of the agency separation are goal incongruence, self-interest, and low productivity.
Explanation:
Goal incongruence between an agent and the principal arises from the lack of alignment in their interests. While the agent is appointed to represent the principal, most often, the agent acts in her own interest instead of in the best interest of the principal. This lack of alignment reduces the productivity that could result from the agency relationship. Another implication of the management separation is that the agent's risk appetite will be different from that of the principal. The principal will need to exercise some control over the agent to curb excessive risk-taking by the agent.
Here I Sit Sofas has 7,500 shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $98 per share. There are 760 bonds that mature in 34 years with a coupon rate of 7.2 percent paid semiannually. The bonds have a par value of $2,000 each and sell at 110.5 percent of par. The company also has 6,400 shares of preferred stock outstanding at a price of $51 per share. What is the capital structure weight of the debt
Answer:
61.28%
Explanation:
Equity market value = Number of shares*price/share
Equity market value = 7,500 * $98
Equity market value = $735,000
Current debt value = Number of bonds*price/bond
Current debt value = 760*(1.105*2000)
Current debt value = $1,679,600
Preferred stock value = Number of shares*price/share
Preferred stock value = 6,400 * $51
Preferred stock value = $326,400
Total capital = Common equity value + Debt value + Preferred stock value
Total capital = $735,000 + $1,679,600 + $326,400
Total capital = $2,741,000
Weight of debt = Debt value / Total capital
Weight of debt = $1,679,600 / $2,741,000
Weight of debt = 0.6127690623859905
Weight of debt = 61.28%

[When producing a 3TB portable hard drive, fixed costs are $20,000,000 regardless of sales volume. Variable costs are $25 per unit and the unit price of the portable hard drive is $50.] Julie also wants to consider the case of estimated sales volume for the target return of $20 million. Fixed costs, variable costs per unit, and price remain the same. In such a case, total revenue is ___________________ Group of answer choices
Answer:
$80 million
Explanation:
Return (profit) = Total revenue - total cost
Total revenue = price x quantity sold
price = $50
quantity sold = x
total revenue = $50x
Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost
fixed cost = $20,000,000
variable cost = Variable costs per unit x quantity sold
= $25x
Total cost = $20,000,000 + $25x
$20,000,000 = $50x - ($20,000,000 + $25x)
Collecting like terms and solving for x
$40,000,000 = $25x
x = 1,600,000
Total revenue = 1,600,000 x $50 = $80 million
The total revenue is $80 million.
We know that;
Profit = Total revenue - total cost
But
Total revenue = price x quantity sold
Total revenue = $50 * X (quantity sold)
Total revenue = $50X
Also,
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost
Variable cost = Variable costs per unit x quantity sold
Variable cost = $25x
Hence,
Total cost = $20,000,000 + $25x
$20,000,000 = $50x - ($20,000,000 + $25x)
Solving for X, we will have ;
$40,000,000 = $25x
X = 1,600,000
Recall
Total revenue = $50X
Total revenue = $50 * 1,600,000
Total revenue = $80 million
It therefore means that in such a case, the total revenue would be $80 million.

Jasmine's Boutique has 2,000 bonds outstanding with a face value of $1,000 each and a coupon rate of 9 percent. The interest is paid semiannually. What is the amount of the annual interest tax shield if the tax rate is 34 percent?A. $58,500B. $60,750C. $60,100D. $62,250E. $61,200
Answer:
E. $61,200
Explanation:
total interest expense = 2,000 bonds x $1,000 per bond x 9% = $180,000
the interest shield is the amount of taxes saved by paying interest expense
interest shield = total interest expense x tax rate = $180,000 x 34% = $61,200
this means that the company will be able to reduce its income taxes by $61,200 because it paid interests on their bonds
