You have just been hired by FAB Corporation, the manufacturer of a revolutionary new garage door opening device. The president has asked that you review the company’s costing system and “do what you can to help us get better control of our manufacturing overhead costs.” You find that the company has never used a flexible budget, and you suggest that preparing such a budget would be an excellent first step in overhead planning and control.

After much effort and analysis, you determined the following cost formulas and gathered the following actual cost data for March:

During March, the company worked 15,000 machine-hours and produced 9,000 units. The company had originally planned to work 17,000 machine-hours during March.

Required:

1. Calculate the activity variances for March.

2. Calculate the spending variances for March.

Calculate the activity variances for March. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)

Why do some overpriced/overvalued IPO's under perform in the long run?

As an intern in a manufacturing company, you are assigned to evaluate two alternative production quality-tracking systems. System I costs $285 000 and has three-year life. The before-tax cash operating costs are $62 000 per year. System II costs $420 000, has a five year life with the after tax costs of $34 000 per year. For both systems, straight-line depreciation is used. The resulting book value will be zero for both systems but the estimated value is around 10% of the purchase price. The tax rate is 30% and the cost of capital is 10%. Evaluate the after-tax cash flows for both alternatives and find the best alternative by considering equivalent annuities (more precisely equivalent annual cost, EAC).

An 8% coupon bond matures in 5 years. The face value is $1,000 and has a current yield of 9.1%. What is the bond's current market price?

Amanda works in the currency trading unit of Sumara Workers Bank in Togliatti, Russia. Her latest speculative position is to profit from her expectation that the U.S. dollar will rise significantly against the Japanese yen. The current spot rate is ¥120.00/USD$. She must choose between the 90-day options on the Japanese yen. The premium is 2.75 yen per USD. a. Should Amanda buy a put on yen or a call on yen? b. What is Amanda's break-even price on her option of choice in part a)? c. What is Amanda's gross profit and net profit if the end spot rate is 140 yen/$?

Should it be a put option? Because USD will rise significantly, we expect it to be 120+ Yen/USD right?
The breakeven will then be 122.75 and the gross and net profit will be 20Yen/USD and 17.25 Yen/USD respectively right?
