Harvey Dent wants to sell the $43,000 TriForcebonds he purchased 3 years ago at par value. The bonds have a 2.80% coupon, 9 years to maturity, and are trading at a 2.45% yield to maturity. If Harvey sells the bonds today, his proceeds from the sale would result in:
Answer: $1203
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the proceeds gotten from the sales if Harvey sells the bonds today will be:
Formula for bond price = Present value (Rate, Period, -Coupon amount, -Par value)
= PV(2.45%, 9, -43000 × 2.8%, -43000)
= 44203
Therefore, the proceeds will be the difference between the selling price and the purchase price which will be:
= $44203 - $43000
= $1203
The total value of the bond, or the amount you'll earn if you sell it, is the sum of the face value and the bond's added interest value. The coupon for each bond specifies the interest rate.
The answer, $1203 is the proceeds from the sale would result in.
If Harvey sells the bonds today, based on the evidence presented in the question, the revenues will be:
The formula for bond price = Present value (Rate, Period, -Coupon amount, -Par value)
[tex]= PV(2.45, 9, - 43000 \text{ x } 0.028, - 43000)\\= 44203[/tex]
As a result, the revenues will be equal to the difference between the selling and buying prices, which will be:
[tex]= 44203 - 43000= $1203[/tex]

The cost of purchasing 310 trees and processing them up to the split-off point to yield 180,000 sheets of paper and 180,000 pencil casings is $12,500. Kenton's accounting department reported no beginning inventory. What is the total sales value at the split-off point for paper
Answer: $36000
Explanation:
You didn't complete the question but based on what I got online, the price was given as $0.20. Therefore, the total sales value at the split-off point for paper will be calculated as:
= Total sheets × Price
= 180000 × $0.20
= $36000
Therefore, the total sales value at the split-off point for paper is $36000

On January 1, 2021, Red Inc. issued stock options for 210,000 shares to a division manager. The options have an estimated fair value of $4 each. To provide additional incentive for managerial achievement, the options are not exercisable unless divisional revenue increases by 5% in three years. Red initially estimates that it is probable the goal will be achieved. Ignoring taxes, what is compensation expense for 2021
Answer:
$280,000
Explanation:
Fair value = $4
Options granted = 210,000 shares
Total compensation = Fair value*Options granted
Total compensation = $4 * 210,000
Total compensation = $840,000
Number of years = 3
Compensation per year = Total compensation / Number of years
Compensation per year = $840,000 / 3
Compensation per year = $280,000
A firm currently has a 43 day cash cycle. Assume that the firm changes its operations such that it increases its receivables period by 2 days, decreases its inventory period by 1 day and increases its payables period by 3 days. What will the length of the cash cycle be after these changes
Answer:
41 days
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What will the length of the cash cycle be after these changes
Using this formula
Cash cycle Length=Cash cycle+Increases in receivables period -Decreases in inventory period -Increases in payables period
Let plug in the formula
Cash cycle Length = 43 days+2 days -1 days - 3 days
Cash cycle Length= 41 day
Therefore What will the length of the cash cycle be after these changes is 41 days
Brodrick Company expects to produce 21,600 units for the year ending December 31. A flexible budget for 21,600 units of production reflects sales of $496,800; variable costs of $64,800; and fixed costs of $140,000. QS 23-3 Flexible budget LO P1 If the company instead expects to produce and sell 26,300 units for the year, calculate the expected level of income from operations.
Answer:
Brodrick Company
If the company instead expects to produce and sell 26,300 units for the year, the expected level of income from operations is:
= $386,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected production for the year ending December 31 = 21,600 units
Sales based on 21,600 units = $496,800 ($23 per unit)
Variable costs on 21,600 units 64,800 ($3 per unit)
Contribution margin = $432,000 ($20 per unit
Fixed costs = 140,000
Net operating income = $292,000
Expected level of income from operations (26,300 units):
Sales revenue (26,300 * $23) = $604,900
Variable costs (26,300 * $3) = 78,900
Contribution margin $526,000
Fixed costs = 140,000
Net operating income = $386,000
The 10-year bond of Crown Electronics is selling at $960 each. The bond has a coupon rate of 8% and par value of $1,000. The firm will incur a $20 flotation cost for each bond issued. If the firm's tax rate is 40%, what is the after tax-cost of the firm's debt
Answer: 5.36%
Explanation:
The after-tax cost of debt refers to the interest that is paid on debt which is then less the income tax savings as a result of the deductible interest expenses.
When calculating the after-tax cost of debt, the effective tax rate of a company should be subtracted from 1, after which the difference will be multiplied by the cost of debt. This will therefore be:
= Rate (10,8% × 1000, -960 + 20, 1000) × (1-40%)
=5.36%

Suppose that California Co., a U.S. based MNC, seeks to capitalize a difference in interest rates between euros and British pounds via the use of a carry trade. In particular, after 1 month, funds invested in euros will yield a 0.50% percent return, while funds invested in pounds will yield a return of 2.00% percent. Currently the spot rate of the British pound is $1.00 while the spot rate of the euro is $0.80. In other words, the pound is worth 1.25 euros. California Co. expects these spot rates to remain constant over the next month.
After 1 month, California Co. now has 612,000 pounds after investing their converted pounds. However, it is now time for California Co. to repay the 500,000 euro loan. If California Co. borrowed these euros at the prevailing rate of 0.50% percent, they must repay a total of ______________ euros. At the cross rate of 1.25, this repayment is equivalent to pounds. Thus, after repaying the loan, California Co. will have ___________ pounds.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The loan repayment of the 5000 euros after one month will be:
= 500,000 × (1 + .5%)
= 500,000 × 1.0005
= 502,500
Converting 502500 euros to pounds will be:
= 502500/1.25
= 402,000
Therefore, the pounds remaining will be:
= 612,000 - 402,000
= 210,000 pounds
If California Co. borrowed these euros at the prevailing rate of 0.50% percent, they must repay a total of (502500 euros). At the cross rate of 1.25, this repayment is equivalent to (402,000) pounds. Thus, after repaying the loan, California Co. will have (210,000) pounds.

Cromartie Ltd. prepares its financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards. During 2021 the company incurred $1,245,000 in research expenditures to develop a new product. An additional $756,000 in development expenditures were incurred after technological and commercial feasibility was established and after the future economic benefits were deemed probable. The project was successfully completed and the new product was patented before the end of the 2021 fiscal year. Sale of the product began in 2020. What amount of the above expenditures would Cromartie expense in its 2021 income statement
Answer: $1,245,000
Explanation:
Going by IFRS standards, Research and Development Costs should be expensed as incurred so long as commercial feasibility has not been established.
Once this is established however, the costs after that are to be capitalized. In this scenario, the costs before feasibility are $1,245,000 so these costs are going to be expensed as periodic costs.
Your opinion is that CSCO has an expected rate of return of 0.15. It has a beta of 1.3. The risk-free rate is 0.04 and the market expected rate of return is 0.115. According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model, this security is
Answer:
Overpriced
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
As we know that
Expected rate of return = risk free rate + beta × ( expected market rate of return - risk free rate )
= 0.04 + 1.3 × (0.115 - 0.04)
= 0.1375
As the return of the security is 0.1375 i.e. more than the expected rate of return i.e. 0.115
Hence, it is overpriced
Assume that Saudi Arabia has production possibilities to produce either 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours or 25 bushels of corn using 100 worker hours. If it decides to produce 60 barrels of oil, how many bushels of corn can it produce
Answer: 10 bushels
Explanation:
If they produce 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours, it means that the number of work hours taken for 1 barrel is:
= 100 / 100
= 1 work hour
For bushels however, 1 worker hour produces:
= 25 / 100
= 0.25 bushels of corn
If 60 barrels of oil are produced, it means 60 worker hours were used which would leave 40 worker hours.
Bushels of corn produced is therefore:
= 40 * 0.25
= 10 bushels
A maker of computer games expects to sell games at a price of per game. These units cost to produce. Selling, general, and administrative expenses are million and depreciation is . What is the EBIT break-even point for the number of games sold in this case?
Answer:
$33,684 units
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the EBIT break-even point for the number of games sold in this case
Using this formula
Units sold=(Selling, general, and administrative expenses+Depreciation)/(Price per game-Units cost)
Let plug in the formula
Units sold=($1,000,000+$280,000)/($48-$10)
Units sold = $1,280,000 / $38
Units sold= $33,684 units
Therefore the EBIT break-even point for the number of games sold in this case will be $33,684 units
A company’s unit costs based on 100000 units are: Variable costs $75 Fixed costs 30 The normal unit sales price per unit is $165. A special order from a foreign company has been received for 7500 units at $135 a unit. In order to fulfill the order, 4100 units of regular sales would have to be foregone. The incremental profit (loss) from accepting the order would be
Answer:
$81,000
Explanation:
The computation of the incremental profit (loss) from accepting the order is shown below:
Contribution per unit = $165 - $75
= $90
Now
Loss on contribution for giving up regular sales is
= $4,100 × 90
= $369,000
Now Incremental contribution for special order is
= ($135 - $75) × 7,500
= $450,000
So,
Incremental profit is
= $450,000 - $369,000
= $81,000

You enter into a short crude oil futures contract at $43 per barrel. The initial margin is $3,375 and the maintenence margin is $2,500. One contract is for 1,000 barrels of oil. By how much do oil prices have to change before you receive a margin call
Answer:
The correct answer is "43.875". A further explanation is provided below.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Initial margin,
= $3,375
Maintenance margin,
= $2,500
Barrels of oil,
= 1,000
Now,
The loss on the position will be:
= [tex]3375-2500[/tex]
= [tex]875[/tex] ($)
then,
⇒ [tex]1000 (P - 43) = 875[/tex]
⇒ [tex]1000P-43000=875[/tex]
On adding "43000" both sides, we get
⇒ [tex]1000P-43000+43000=875+43000[/tex]
⇒ [tex]1000P=43875[/tex]
⇒ [tex]P=\frac{43875}{1000}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=43.875[/tex]
A store has the following demand figures for the last four years: Year Demand 1 100 2 150 3 112 4 200 Given a demand forecast for year 2 of 100, a trend forecast for year 2 of 10, an alpha of 0.3, and a beta of 0.2, what is the demand forecast for year 3 using the double exponential smoothing method
Answer:
125
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the demand forecast for year 3 using the double exponential smoothing method
Smoothed forecast for year 3 = (0.3 ×150) + (0.7 ×100) + 10
Smoothed forecast for year 3 = 45+70+10
Smoothed forecast for year 3 =125
Therefore the demand forecast for year 3 using the double exponential smoothing method will be 125
MAD Inc. has a capital structure consisting of 40 percent debt and 60 percent common equity financing. The company has $400 million in net income and plans to pay out 25 percent of their earnings as dividends. What is the maximum amount of new financing that the company can raise without selling new common stock
Answer:
$500 million
Explanation:
Retained earnings = Income * (1 - Dividend payout percentage)
Retained earnings = $400 million * (1-0.25)
Retained earnings = $400 million * 0.75
Retained earnings = $300 million
Amount that can be raise without selling new stock: Retained earnings / % of equity financing in total capital
= $300 million / 60%
= $300 million / 0.60
= $500 million
A company projects an increase in net income of $135,000 each year for the next five years if it invests $900,000 in new equipment. The equipment has a five-year life and an estimated salvage value of $300,000. What is the annual rate of return on this investment
Answer:
the annual rate of return is 22.50%
Explanation:
The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:
Average investment is
= ($900,000 + $300,000) ÷ 2
= $600,000
Now
Annual rate of return is
= Annual net income ÷ Average investment
= $135,000 ÷ $600,000
= 22.50%
hence, the annual rate of return is 22.50%

Then the fees received upfront, which were earlier credited to the Deferred Service Revenue account, are then closed by a debit to the Deferred Service Revenue and a credit to the Consulting Fees (Revenue) account. This is in line with the double-entry system of financial accounting and the new Revenue from Contracts with Customers, IFRS 15 or the ASC 606 equivalent.
