Below is a partial bond amortization schedule for the bonds: Date Cash Paid Interest Expense Increase in Carrying Value Carrying Value 1/1/2018 $8,640,967 6/30/2018 $300,000 $345,639 $45,639 8,686,606 12/31/2018 300,000 347,464 47,464 8,734,070 6/30/2019 300,000 349,363 49,363 8,783,433 12/31/2019 300,000 351,337 51,337 8,834,770 What is the stated annual rate of interest on the bonds? (Hint: Be sure to provide the annual rate rather than the six month rate. (round to nearest whole percentage, just put in the number with no %)
Answer:
6%
Explanation:
Calculation of the stated annual rate of interest on the bonds
Using this formula
Annual rate of interest = (Cash paid /Bonds Amount)× 2 payments per year
Where,
Cash paid=$300,000
Bonds amount =$10,000,000
Let plug in the formula
Annual rate of interest=($300,000/$10,000,000) × 2 payments per year
Annual rate of interest= 0.03×2 payments per year =6%
Note the 2 payment per year is June 30 and December 31
Therefore stated annual rate of interest on the bonds will be 6%

Arbot Co. manufactures appliances at three manufacturing facilities in the United States. Each location has a plant manager who oversees the manufacturing process for that location. Segmented income statements are prepared for each plant and for each product manufactured in the plant. The salary of each plant manager is a ______ for the individual product lines made in the plant.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Arbot Co. manufactures appliances at three manufacturing facilities in the United States. Each location has a plant manager who oversees the manufacturing process for that location. Segmented income statements are prepared for each plant and each product manufactured in the plant. The salary of each plant manager is a traceable fixed cost to the plant and a common fixed cost for the individual product lines made in the plant.
The traceable fixed cost for a corporation means that this cost has a relationship between cost and effect related to a particular area or region of the country, or related to a process just operated in a specific location. This traceable fixed cost is part of the equation because there is a peculiar business that includes it. Or there is a necessity to be covered.
A market demand curve shows Group of answer choices the sum of all prices that the individual buyers are willing and able to pay for each possible quantity of the good. the relationship between price and the number of buyers in a market.
Answer:
the sum of all prices that the individual buyers are willing and able to pay for each possible quantity of the good.
Explanation:
Market demand refers to the sum of the individual demand for a commodity from all buyers in a given market.
A market demand curve is therefore a graph that shows the the sum of the individual demand for a commodity from all buyers in the market.
Therefore, the correction option is "the sum of all prices that the individual buyers are willing and able to pay for each possible quantity of the good".
Note that the market demand curve is a downward sloping curve due to the fact that there is a negative relationship between price and quantity demanded. That is, as price increases, the quantity demanded decreases. On the other hand, as price decreases, the quantity demanded increases.
Also note that an example of a market demand curve is given in the attached graph. From the graph, it can be seen that when price is [tex]p_{0}[/tex], quantity demanded is [tex]q_{0}[/tex]. But when price falls to [tex]p_{1}[/tex], quantity demanded increased to [tex]q_{1}[/tex]. This shows the negative relationship between price and quantity demanded as explained above.

"XYZZ ADR represents 10% of the value of an XYZZ ordinary share. The ordinary shares trade on the London Stock Exchange, where the current price is 400 British Pounds (BP). The current exchange rate for the British Pound against the U.S. Dollar is $1.40. The ordinary share pays an annualized dividend of 12 BP, with payment made semi-annually. The XYZZ ADR is listed on the NYSE. If a customer places an order to buy $560,000 of the ADR on the NYSE, how much will the customer receive in each dividend payment?"
Answer:
$8,400
Explanation:
XYZZ ADR = 10% XYZZ ordinary share
Current price of ordinary shares trade = 400 British pounds
Pounds rate against the dollar = $1.40
Annualized Dividend pay = 12 pounds paid semianually
Dividend to be received on the purchase of $560,000 worth of ADR
Therefore ;
To calculate worth of XYZZ ADR
Dollar value of £400
400 * 1.4 = $560
10% of $560 = 10* 560 = $56 per ADR
Therefore, semiannual Dividend payed :
£12 / 2 = £6 every 6 months ; which is equivalent to (£6 * 10%) = £0.6 per ADR
Equivalent dollar value :
0.6 * $1.4 = $0.84 per ADR
AMOUNT OF ORDER TO BE PLACED / price per ADR
$560,000 / $56 = 10,000 shares
Dollar value of Dividend payed per share = $0.84
Dividend customer will receive :
10,000 * $0.84 = $8,400
A firm has a stock price of $68.00 per share. The firm's earnings are $85 million, and the firm has 20 million shares outstanding. The firm has an ROE of 11% and a plowback of 70%. What is the firm's PEG ratio
Answer:
2.1
Explanation:
A firm has a stock price of $68.00 pet share
The firm's earning are $85,000,000
The firm has $20,000,000 outstanding
They have an ROE of 11% and a Plow back ratio of 70%
The first step is to calculate the EPS
EPS= $85,000,000/$20,000,000

P/E= $68.00/$4.25
= 16
g= 11×70
= 770/100
= 7.7%
Therefore the PEG ratio can be calculated as follows
PEG ratio= 16/7.7
= 2.1
Hence the firm PEG ratio is 2.1
The PEG ratio that is the Price to Earnings Growth ratio is the ratio analytical tool that measures the expected growth in the earnings with the change in the share prices. It determines the valuation of stock amongst various other stocks.
The firms' PEG ratio is 2.1.
Computation:
Given,
Stock price =$68 per share
Total earning =$85,000,000
Outstanding balance =$20,000,000
ROE =11%
Plowback ratio =70%
[tex]\rm{PEG ratio}=\dfrac{\text{P/E}}{\text{Annual Growth rate}}\\\\=\dfrac{\$16}{7.70\%}\\\\=2.1[/tex]

Elinor is asked to invest $5100 in a friend's business with the promise that the friend will repay $5610 in one year. Eleanor finds her best alternative to this investment, with similar risk, is one that will pay her $5508 in one year. U.S. securities of similar term offer a rate of return of 7%. What is the opportunity cost of capital in this case
Answer:
the opportunity cost of capital in this case is 8%
Explanation:
From the information given :
Elinor is asked to invest $5100 in a friend's business with the promise that the friend will repay $5610 in one year.
Eleanor finds her best alternative to this investment, with similar risk, is one that will pay her $5508 in one year.
U.S. securities of similar term offer a rate of return of 7%.
The opportunity cost of capital can be determined by using the expression:
[tex]A = P ( \dfrac{1+r}{100})^n[/tex]
where;
A = amount = $5508
P = Principal = $5100
r = opportunity cost of capital = ???
n = number of years = 1 year
[tex]5508= 5100 ( {1+ \dfrac{r}{100})^1[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{5508}{5100}= ( {1+ \dfrac{r}{100})^1[/tex]
[tex]1.08 = ( {1+ \dfrac{r}{100})[/tex]
[tex]1.08 = \dfrac{100 + r}{100}[/tex]
1.08 × 100 = 100 + r
108 = 100 + r
r = 108 - 100
r = 8%
Therefore; the opportunity cost of capital in this case is 8%
