Bonds often pay a coupon twice a year. For the valuation of bonds that make semiannual payments, the number of periods doubles, whereas the amount of cash flow decreases by half. Using the values of cash flows and number of periods, the valuation model is adjusted accordingly.

Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon US Treasury note with four years to maturity has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity (YTM) of the bond is 11.00%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:

a. $895,940.83
b. $634,624.76
c. $746,617.36
d. $470,368.94

Based on your calculations and understanding of semiannual coupon bonds, complete the following statement:

The T-note described in this problem is selling at a:_______

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the value of the treasury note is shown below:

Given that

NPER = 4 × 2 = 8

RATE = 11% ÷ 2 = 5.5%

PMT = $1,000,000 × 3% ÷ 2 = $15,000

FV = $1,000,000

The formula is shown below:;

= -PV(RATE;NPER;PMT;FV)

AFter applying the above formula, the value of the treausry note is $746,617.36

Here the T-Note should be sold at discount as it is less than the par value

Use Present Worth Analysis to determine whether Alternative A or B should be chosen. Items are identically replaced at the end of their useful lives. Assume an interest rate of 6% per year, compounded annually.
Alternative A Alternative B
Initial Cost 350 985
Annual Benefit 80 226
Salvage Value 160 186
Useful Life (yrs) 2 3
A. Alternative B, because it only incurs the initial cost once every three years instead of every two years
B. Alternative B, because it costs $250.00 more than Alternative A, in terms of present worth
C. Alternative A, because its present worth is positive
D. Alternative A, because it costs $250.00 less than Alternative B, in terms of present worth

As the question says just provide modalities for compensating the victims of the accident. Do not try to attribute reasons for the cause of the accident, i.e. who is wrong or responsible for the accident. Try to come up with the various kinds of victims and decide what they get. To say that everybody that was killed should get the same amount is not realistic. Think about the families of those involved in September 11 disaster. Did all the families get the same amount?

Tambe Electric entered into a written agreement with Home Depot to provide copper wire to Tambe at a price set forth in the writing, and allowed the contractor the option of paying for the wire over a period of time. Tambe later tried to purchase such wire on a payment plan but Home Depot refused. As Home Depot did not fulfill this written agreement, Tambe sued for $68,000, the additional cost it had to subsequently pay to obtain copper wire for its work. Home Depot defended that it had made an oral condition precedent requiring payment in full by Tambe at the time it accepted the price quote in the written agreement. The result is that:_________

Last year Rennie Industries had sales of $395,000, assets of $175,000 (which equals total invested capital), a profit margin of 5.3%, and an equity multiplier of 1.2. The CFO believes that the company could reduce its assets by $51,000 without affecting either sales or costs. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Had it reduced its assets by this amount, and had the debt/total invested capital ratio, sales, and costs remained constant, how much would the ROE have changed? Do not round your intermediate calculations.

The following scenario applies to the next three questions. At the start of the current period, Alberich Jewelers had an inventory of three identical gold rings. The cost of the gold ring purchased first is $640, the gold ring purchased next had a cost of $720, and the most recent purchase had a cost of $750. During the current period one of the gold rings was sold for $1,400. Alberich expects this gold ring will be a fast seller and he is thinking about ordering more of the same model for $780 each. If Alberich elects the FIFO method of inventory, after selling one ring for $1,400, compute the gross profit he should report. Post your response without any special characters. So an answer of $1,000 would be expressed as 1000

Meade Nuptial Bakery makes very elaborate wedding cakes to order. The company has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools. The activity rate for the Size-Related activity cost pool is $1.13 per guest. (The greater the number of guests, the larger the cake.) The activity rate for the Complexity-Related cost pool is $43.52 per tier. (Cakes with more tiers are more complex.) Finally, the activity rate for the Order-Related activity cost pool is $61.44 per order. (Each wedding involves one order for a cake.) The activity rates include the costs of raw ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, and shortening. The activity rates do not include the costs of purchased decorations such as miniature statues and wedding bells, which are accounted for separately. Data concerning two recent orders appear below: Ericson Wedding Haupt Wedding Number of reception guests 60 162 Number of tiers on the cake 4 3 Cost of purchased decorations for cake $ 16.89 $ 38.61 Assuming that the company charges $500.54 for the Haupt wedding cake, what would be the overall margin on the order
