Corporation Bond Bond
1 year $1,170.26 $841.89
4 years $1,142.86 $866.67
9 years $1,083.33 $920
13 years $1,019.23 $980.95
14 years $1,050 $1,040
Explanation:
YTM formula:
Miller Corporation
YTM = [coupon + (face value - market value)/n] / (face value + market value)/2
0.04 = [50 + (1,000 - x)/28] / (1,000 + x)/2
0.02(1,000 + x) = 85.71 - 0.0357x
20 + 0.02x = 85.71 - 0.0357x
0.0557x = 65.71
x = 65.71 / 0.0557 = $1,179.71
if we want to calculate the bond price in one year, we replace 28 by 26
0.04 = [50 + (1,000 - x)/26] / (1,000 + x)/2
0.02(1,000 + x) = 88.46 - 0.0385x
20 + 0.02x = 88.46 - 0.0385x
0.0585x = 68.46
x = 68.46 / 0.0585 = $1,170.26
if we want to calculate the bond price in 4 years, we replace 28 by 20
0.04 = [50 + (1,000 - x)/20] / (1,000 + x)/2
20 + 0.02x = 100 - 0.05x
0.07x = 80
x = 80 / 0.07 = $1,142.86
if we want to calculate the bond price in 9 years, we replace 28 by 10
0.04 = [50 + (1,000 - x)/10] / (1,000 + x)/2
20 + 0.02x = 150 - 0.1x
0.12x = 130
x = 130 / 0.12 = $1,083.33
if we want to calculate the bond price in 13 years, we replace 28 by 2
0.04 = [50 + (1,000 - x)/2] / (1,000 + x)/2
20 + 0.02x = 550 - 0.5x
0.52x = 530
x = 530 / 0.52 = $1,019.23
Modigliani Company
YTM = [coupon + (face value - market value)/n] / (face value + market value)/2
0.05 = [40 + (1,000 - x)/28] / (1,000 + x)/2
0.025(1,000 + x) = 75.71 - 0.0357x
25 + 0.025x = 75.71 - 0.0357x
0.0607x = 50.71
x = 50.71 / 0.0607 = $835.42
if we want to calculate the bond price in one year, we replace 28 by 26
0.05 = [40 + (1,000 - x)/26] / (1,000 + x)/2
0.025(1,000 + x) = 78.46 - 0.0385x
25 + 0.025x = 78.46 - 0.0385x
0.0635x = 53.46
x = 53.46 / 0.0635 = $841.89
if we want to calculate the bond price in 4 years, we replace 28 by 20
0.05 = [40 + (1,000 - x)/20] / (1,000 + x)/2
25 + 0.025x = 90 - 0.05x
0.075x = 65
x = 65 / 0.075 = $866.67
if we want to calculate the bond price in 9 years, we replace 28 by 10
0.05 = [40 + (1,000 - x)/10] / (1,000 + x)/2
25 + 0.025x = 140 - 0.1x
0.125x = 115
x = 115 / 0.125 = $920
if we want to calculate the bond price in 13 years, we replace 28 by 2
0.05 = [40 + (1,000 - x)/2] / (1,000 + x)/2
25 + 0.025x = 540 - 0.5x
0.525x = 515
x = 515 / 0.525 = $980.95

The specific meaning of goodwill in accounting is: Multiple Choice The amount by which a company's value exceeds the value of its individual assets and liabilities. Long term assets held as investment. The support of the board of directors for the operating decisions of management. The cost of developing, maintaining, or enhancing the value of a trademark. Rights granted an entity to deliver a product or service under specified conditions.
Answer:
Option A. The amount by which a company's value exceeds the value of its individual assets and liabilities
Explanation:
The reason is that goodwill not only measures the business valuable tangible and intangible assets but also the intangible assets that can not be valued which the company has earned due to its business operations, this includes customer loyalty, key employees, brand's value, etc.
This is the reason why the value of the company's aggregate assets are always above the aggregate market value of assets not sold altogether. Hence the option A is correct here.
Record the following process costing transactions in the general journal:
a. Purchase of raw materials on account, $9, 300
b. Requisition of direct materials to Assembly Department, $4, 300 Finishing Department, $2, 400

Finishing Department, $10,500 (debit)
Assembly Department $10,500 (credit)
h.
Finished Goods Inventory $15,600 (debit)
Finishing Department $15,600 (credit)
Explanation:
Manufacturing costs accumulate in the Work In Process Account of their respective departments.
When goods are transferred out of the Assembly Department to the Finishing Department, de-recognize the cost from Assembly Department (credit) and recognized the cost in Finishing Department (debit).
When cost of goods completed are transferred out of the Finishing Department into Finished Goods Inventory, we de-recognize the cost from Finishing Department and recognize it in the Finished Goods Inventory.
You expect KT industries (KTI) will have earnings per share of $ 3 this year and expect that they will pay out $ 2.25 of these earnings to shareholders in the form of a dividend. KATIE's return on new investments is 16% and their equity cost of capital is 15%. The expected growth rate for KTIs dividends is closest to:
Answer:
4%
Explanation:
the growth rate (g) = retention rate (the amount of net income that the company keeps in order to grow, and therefore, does not distribute to stockholders) x ROI (return on investments)
retention rate = ($3 - $2.25) / $3 = 0.25ROI = 16%g = 0.25 x 16% = 4%

Grand River Corporation reported taxable income of $550,000 in 20X3 and paid federal income taxes of $192,500. Not included in the computation was a disallowed meals and entertainment expense of $3,000, tax-exempt income of $2,000, and deferred gain on a current-year transaction treated as an installment sale of $30,000. The corporation's current earnings and profits for 20X3 would be:_________
Answer:
$336,500
Explanation:
Grand River corporation has a taxable income of $500,000 in 20X3
They paid a federal income tax of $192,500
The amount of expense that was not added to the report is $3,000
The tax exempt income is $2,000
The deferred gain is $30,000
Therefore, the current earinings and profits of the corporation for the year 20X3 can be calculated as follows
= Taxable income-federal income taxes-expenses-tax exempt income+deferred gain
=$500,000-$192,500-$3,000+$2,000+$30,000
= $336,500
Hence the current earnings and profits for the corporation is $336,500
On March 31, 2021, Canseco Plumbing Fixtures purchased equipment for $56,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated four-year service life is expected to be $2,000. The company expects the equipment to operate for 15,000 hours. The equipment operated for 3,500 and 4,300 hours in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Required: a. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022 using straight-line method. b. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022 using double-declining-balance method. c. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022 using units-of-production using hours operated.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $56,000
Residual value= $2,000
Estimated useful life= 4 years
A. To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (56,000 - 2,000)/4
Annual depreciation= 13,500
2021= (13,500/12)*= $10,125
2022= 13,500
B. To calculate the depreciation expense under the double-declining balance method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
2021= [(2*13,500)/12]*9= $20,250
2022= [(54,000 - 20,250)/4]*2= $16,875
C. To calculate the depreciation expense under the units of production method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in hours]*hours operated
The company expects the equipment to operate for 15,000 hours. The equipment operated for 3,500 and 4,300 hours in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
2021= (54,000/15,000)*3,500= $12,600
2022= 3.6*4,300= $15,480
An individual who lived in State B is an existing client of Broker-Dealer. She has temporarily relocated to State A. She contacts her agent located in State B to buy securities. Which statement is TRUE
Answer: c. The Broker-Dealer and the agent must be registered in both States A and B
Explanation:
Various States have their own laws on Registration of traders of securities known as Blue Sky laws.
These laws generally provide that trading agents need to be registered in a state in be able to trade securities for a client in that state. Trading Agents in this context refer but are not limited to, Broker-dealers, Agents, Investment Advisers, and Investment Adviser Representatives.
Both the Broker-Dealer and the Agent therefore need to be registered in both states for them to have handled her transactions in the past when she was in State B and in the present when she has relocated to State A.

A check-processing center uses exponential smoothing to forecast the number of incoming checks each month. The number of checks received in June was 40 million, while the forecast was 42 million. A smoothing constant of .2 is used. a) What is the forecast for July
Answer:
41.6 million
Explanation:
Given:
Number of checks in June = 40,000,000
Forecast in June = 42,000,000
Smoothing constant = 0.2
Required:
Find the forecast for July
To find July's forecast, use the formula:
July's forecast = (Number of checks in June * Smoothing constant) + (Forecast demand in June * (1 - Smoothing constant))
Substitute figures:
(40,000,000 * 0.2) + (42,000,000 * (1 - 0.2))
= (8,000,000) + (42,000,000 * 0.8)
= (8,000,000 + 33,600,000)
= 41,600,000
Forcast in July is 41.6 million
A company purchased an asset for $2,900,000 that will be used in a 3-year project. The asset is in the 3-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 33.33 percent, 44.45 percent, and 14.81 percent, respectively. What is the book value of the equipment at the end of the project
Answer: $214,890
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a company purchased an asset for $2,900,000 that will be used in a 3-year project. The asset is in the 3-year MACRS class and the depreciation percentage each year is 33.33 percent, 44.45 percent, and 14.81 percent, respectively.
The book value of the equipment at the end of the project will be the accumulated depreciation deducted from the purchase price. This will be:
= $2,900,000 - [1 - (33.33% + 44.45% + 14.81%)]
= $2,900,000 - [1 - (0.3333 + 0.4445 + 0.1481)]
= $2,900,000 - (1 - 0.9259)
= $2,900,000 - 0.0741
= $214,890.
If a company made a bank deposit on September 30 that did not appear on the bank statement dated September 30, in preparing the September 30 bank reconciliation, the company should:
Answer:
The answer is 'add the deposit to the end cash balance per bank statement'
Explanation:
The company made a deposit on the last day of September and this was not recorded by the bank i.e it will not be shown on the bank statement at September 30. The company had already recorded this deposit in the cash book at office. This means the bank statement is less this deposit amount.
To correct this anomaly, the deposit that was not recorded by the bank will be added to the end cash balance as per bank statement.

Your company is producing a new ointment for sore muscles. You want to convince a national chain of boxing gyms to use this product. Why is it important to send a business letter in this situation
Answer:
It is important to send a business letter as a way to introduce itself as a company and in order to communicate that the company is interested in starting a relationship with the other one so therefore they can improve their situation in the market.
Explanation:
To begin with, a "Business Letter" is the type of letter that is sent from one company to another one in order to make the first step to establish a future relationship between those companies. It also can be sent from one company to its clients, suppliers, etc. Moreover, this type of communication implicates a formal and permanent record that it can be saved by any party in order to use it later as a prove of the facts established in the letter. Furthermore, every letter has its unique type of content that it will be determined by the type of relationship that the parties have with each other.
$90,000,000, ROA of 9.00 percent, ROE of 12.00 percent, and a net profit margin of 8.00 percent. What are the company's net income and net sales? Calculate the firm’s debt-to-equity ratio.
Answer:
0.333 Times
Explanation:
The computation of debt-to-equity ratio is shown below:-
But before that we need to determine the following items
ROA = Net income ÷ Total Assets
9.00% = Net income ÷ $90,000,000
Net income =9.00% × $90,000,000
= $8,100,000
Profit margin = Net income ÷ Net Sales
8% = $8,100,000 ÷ Net sales
Net sales = $101,250,000
ROE = Net income ÷ Shareholders equity
12% = $8,100,000 ÷ Shareholders equity
Shareholders equity = $67,500,000
Total Liabilities = Total Assets - Equity
= $90,000,000 - $67,500,000
= $22,500,000
Debt - Equity ratio = Total Liabilities ÷ Equity
= $22,500,000 ÷ $67,500,000
= 0.333 Times
Equipment was purchased for $161500. Freight charges amounted to $5500 and there was a cost of $10000 for building a foundation and installing the equipment. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $38000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. Depreciation Expense each year using the straight-line method will be
Answer:
$27,800
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
Cost of asset = $161500 + $5500 + 10000 =$177,000
$177,000 - $38000 = $139,000 / 5 =$27,800
depreciation expense each year would be $27,800
The two economists associated with the development of the theory of monopolistic competition were:________
a. Carl Menger and Eugen Von Bohm-Bawerk.
b. Joan Robinson and Edward Chamberlin.
c. John Neville Keynes and John Maynard Keynes.
d. David Hume and Adam Smith.
Answer:
b. Joan Robinson and Edward Chamberlin.
Explanation:
The Theory of Monopolistic Competition was published in 1933 in a book that was written by Edward Chamberlain who was an American economist. Also, Joan Robinson, a British economist, wrote a book called The Economics of Imperfect Competition in the same year that was about the same topic. Because of that, the answer is that the two economists associated with the development of the theory of monopolistic competition were Joan Robinson and Edward Chamberlin.
6. How much do you have to deposit today so that you can withdraw $50,000 a year at the end of years 5 through 9, and $25,000 at the end of year 10? Assume that you can earn an annual rate of 8 percent.
Answer:
$158,317.88
Explanation:
we have to calculate the present value of the cash flows:
PV = $50,000 / 1.08⁵ + $50,000 / 1.08⁶ + $50,000 / 1.08⁷ + $50,000 / 1.08⁸ + $50,000 / 1.08⁹ + $25,000 / 1.08¹⁰ = $34,029.16 + $31,508.48 +$29,174.52 + $27,013.44 + $25,012.44 + $11,579.84 = $158,317.88
If we deposit $158,317.88 today, we will be able to withdraw $50,000 at the end of years 5 to 9, and $25,000 on year 10.
Jeff Heun, president of Vaughn Always, agrees to construct a concrete cart path at Dakota Golf Club. Vaughn Always enters into a contract with Dakota to construct the path for $174,000. In addition, as part of the contract, a performance bonus of $43,200 will be paid based on the timing of completion. The performance bonus will be paid fully if completed by the agreed-upon date. The performance bonus decreases by $10,800 per week for every week beyond the agreed-upon completion date. Jeff has been involved in a number of contracts that had performance bonuses as part of the agreement in the past. As a result, he is fairly confident that he will receive a good portion of the performance bonus. Jeff estimates, given the constraints of his schedule related to other jobs, that there is 50% probability that he will complete the project on time, a 25% probability that he will be 1 week late, and a 25% probability that he will be 2 weeks late.A) Determine the transaction price that Concrete Always should compute for this agreement.
B) Assume that Jeff Heun has reviewed his work schedule and decided that it makes sense to complete this project on time. Assuming that he now believes that the probability for completing the project on time is 90% and otherwise it will be finished 1 week late, determine the transaction price.
Answer:
A) Determine the transaction price that Concrete Always should compute for this agreement.
total transaction price = contract price ($174,000) + expected value of the bonus
expected value of the bonus:
$43,200 x 50% = $21,600($43,200 - $10,800) x 25% = $8,100($43,200 - $10,800 - $10,800) x 25% = $5,400total = $35,100total transaction price = $174,000 + $35,100 = $209,100
B) Assume that Jeff Heun has reviewed his work schedule and decided that it makes sense to complete this project on time. Assuming that he now believes that the probability for completing the project on time is 90% and otherwise it will be finished 1 week late, determine the transaction price.
total transaction price = contract price ($174,000) + expected value of the bonus
expected value of the bonus:
$43,200 x 90% = $38,880($43,200 - $10,800) x 10% = $3,240total = $42,120total transaction price = $174,000 + $42,120 = $216,120

1. The interest rate that the Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) charges member banks for loans is known as the____________ .
2. The Fed can_____________ the money supply by lowering this rate.
Answer:
1. Discount rate.
2. Increase.
Explanation:
A Federal Reserve Bank is one of the twelve regional banks of the Federal Reserve System in the United States of America. The Federal Reserve Banks are saddled with the responsibility of implementing the monetary policy designed and provided by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).
Federal Reserve System also known as the Fed, was created under the Federal Reserve Act which was passed by US Congress in 1913. The Fed began its operations in the year 1914. It's a financial institution which was founded by President Woodrow Wilson and was primarily aimed at backing each banks in order to put a definitive end to the bank panics of the 1800s.
Furthermore, just like all central banks, the Fed is a government financial institution which is saddled with these responsibilities;
1. Controlling the issuance of currency in United States of America: the Fed promotes public goals such as economic growth, low inflation, and the smooth operation of financial markets.
2. Providing banking services to all the commercial banks in the country: the Fed is the "lender of last resort.
3. Regulating banking activities: it has the power to supervise and regulate banks.
The Federal Reserve Board is the governing body which essentially manages the Federal Reserve System and performs an oversight function on domestic monetary policies.
Additionally, the interest rate that the Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) charges member banks for loans is known as the discount rate. Also, the Fed can increase the money supply by lowering this rate (discount rate) and thus, empowering the member banks to lend more money.

HH Industries has 50 million shares that are currently trading for $4 per share and $200 million worth of debt. The debt is risk free and has and interest rate of 5%, and the expected return of HH stock is 11%. Suppose a strike causes the price of HH stock to fall 25% to $3 per share. The value of the risk free debt is unchanged. Assuming there are no taxes and the risk of HH's assets is unchanged, what happens to HH's equity cost of capital
Answer:
12%
Explanation:
For computing the equity cost of capital first we have to determine the weight of the capital structure after that the WACC and then finally equity cost of capital which is shown below:
Weight of capital structure
For debt
= $200 million ÷ $400 million
= 0.50
For equity
= 50 million × $4 ÷ $400 million
= 0.50
Now the WACC is
= 0.50 11% + 0.50 × 5%
= 8%
Since the value fo equity is declined by
= 50 × $3
= $150
Now the equity cost of capital is
= WACC + (WACC - interest rate) × (debt ÷ equity)
= 8% + (8% - 5%) × (200 ÷ 150)
= 12%
If the Federal Reserve lowers the target federal funds rate, Group of answer choices the discount rate rises liquidity in the banking system is increased securities prices fall required reserves are decreased
Answer: Liquidity in the banking system is increased
Explanation:
The Federal Funds rate is the interest rate at which commercial banks are allowed to lend each other their excess reserves overnight to meet reserve requirements.
If this rate were to be reduced, it would make lending cheaper between banks who would then take advantage of this to borrow more occasionally. This will then translate to a higher liquidity amongst the banks.
Consider these long-term investment data: • The price of a 10-year $100 par zero-coupon inflation-indexed bond is $84.49. • A real-estate property is expected to yield 2% per quarter (nominal) with a SD of the (effective) quarterly rate of 10%. Compute the annual rate of return on the real (i.e., inflation-indexed) bond.
Answer:
Annual rate 0.017
Explanation:
Computation of the annual rate on the real bond.
Using this formula
Annual rate = Par Zero coupon inflation index/(1+r) ^Numbers of years =Inflation-indexed bond
Let plug in the formula
Annual rate=100 / (1 + r) ^10 = 84.49
Annual rate= (100 / 84.49)^1 /10 − 1
Annual rate=(1.18357)^0.1-1
Annual rate=1.016-1
Annual rate=0.017
Therefore the annual rate of return will be 0.017
