Which of the following statements is most correct? a. All else equal, if a bond’s yield to maturity increases, its price will fall. b. All else equal, if a bond is down graded by the rating agencies its yield to maturity will increase. c. If a firm has two bond issues that are identical except one is subordinate to the other, the subordinate issue will have a higher yield to maturity than the other issue. d. A B and C are correct. e. None of the above are correct
Answer: d. A B and C are correct.
Explanation:
A bond's price and it's Yield to Maturity (YTM) are inversely related such that when Yield to Maturity rises, the price of the bond falls. This is a because a higher YTM signifies that the bond is riskier so it will compensate by being cheaper.
If a bond is downgraded by Ratings agencies then it means that the bond is now riskier. As it is riskier investors will charge more interest for taking on the risk. The interest is the YTM and so it rises.
A Subordinate bond means that if the company were to go into bankruptcy for instance, the Subordinate bond would only be paid for after the bond that is not Subordinated. This means that there is a chance that Subordinate bond holders will not get anything from the liquidation of the company. Investors will therefore charge a higher YTM to cater for the risk that this happens.
From 2010 to 2011, nation A's real GDP increased from $100 billion to $106 billion and its population grew from 50 million to 51 million. As a result, real GDP per capita _____ because real GDP rose _____ than the population.
Answer:
As a result, real GDP per capita WILL INCREASE because real GDP rose MORE than the population.
Explanation:
increase in real GDP = $106 - $101 = $5 billion, or 4.95%
population increase = 51 - 50 = 1 million people, or 2%
real GDP per capita 2010 = $101,000 / 50 = $2,020
real GDP per capita 2011 = $106,000 / 51 = $2,078
since the real GDP increased by almost 5%, while the population increased only by 2%, the real GDP per capita will increase by 2.9%

To interest receivable $70
To interest revenue ($12,000 × 7% × 15 days ÷ 360 days) $35
To Note receivable $12,000
(being cash received is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and credited the interest receivable, interest revenue and note receivable as it decreased the asset and increased the revenue
LeBron James (LBJ) Corporation agrees on January 1, 2020, to lease equipment from Wildhorse, Inc. for 3 years. The lease calls for annual lease payments of $21,000 at the beginning of each year. The lease does not transfer ownership, nor does it contain a bargain purchase option, and is not a specialized asset. In addition, the useful life of the equipment is 10 years, and the present value of the lease payments is less than 90% of the fair value of the equipment. This lease is properly classified as an operating lease. The credit to Lease Liability on December 31, 2020 is ________.
Answer:
interest expense 4,881.08 debit
lease liability 4,881.08 credit
Explanation:
We solve for the present value of the lease payment and with that we solve forthe interest accrued during the period which will be interest expense debit and lease liability credit.

Using both the supply and demand for bonds and liquidity preference framework, show how interest rate are affected when the riskiness of bonds rises. Are the results the same in the two frame works
Answer:
Yes, the results are the same in both frameworks. Please see below for explanation.
Explanation:
With regards to the bond supply and demand framework, people will look to buy more bonds since they are more wealthy now. Hence, the supply of bonds will increase. The supply curve and the demand curve will both move to the right, with the former shifting more than the latter. The equilibrium interest rate will increase.
With regards to the liquidity preference framework, once the economy experiences a positive shift, there will also be an increase in the demand for money. People will make an increased number of transactions as well and hence, the demand curve will move towards the right. The equilibrium interest rate will rise too.

Required:
Hemming uses a periodic inventory system. Assume that ending inventory is consists of 45 nits from the March 14 purchase, 75 units from the July 30 purchase, and all 100 units from the October 26 purchase. Using the specific identification method calculate the (a) cost of goods sold and (b) the gross profit.
Answer:
a) Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale minus ending inventory = $18,750 - $4,675 = $14,075
b) Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold
= $35,200 - 14,075 = $21,125
Explanation:
a) Sales:
Jan. 10 Sales, 150 units at $40 = $6,000
Mar. 15 Sales, 300 units at $40 = 12,000
Oct. 5 Sales, 430 units at $40 = 17,200
Total sales = $35,200
b) Determination of Ending Inventory:
March 14 purchase 45 units x $15 = $675
July 30 purchase 75 units x $20 = $1,500
October 26 purchase 100 units x $25 = $2,500
Total cost of Ending Inventory $4,675
c) Specific Identification Method:
These inventory costing methods are used to ascertain the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory values. Using periodic inventory, the valuation is done at the end of the period. They are FIFO (First-In-First-Out) method, LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) method, weighted average method, and specific identification method. These methods can be applied under perpetual inventory system or periodic inventory system. The difference is in the timing of the valuation activity.

The nominal exchange rate is .80 and the real exchange rate is about 1.16. These numbers imply that the U.S. price of the same toothpaste is about a. $5.79 b. $4.29 c. $3.70 d. $2.76
Answer:
The answer is option (d)$2.76
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The cost of a particular brand of toothpaste = 4 pounds
The exchange rate = .80
Real exchange rate = 1.16
Now
Real exchange rate is given as:
R = real exchange rate
e = nominal exchange rate
PF = foreign price
P = domestic price
Suppose we say that U.S. is a domestic country and British is a foreign country we have the following formula below:
R = e(PF/P)
R = 1.16
e = 0.80
PF = 4
Thus
R = e(PF/P)
1.16 = 0.80(4/P)
P = 3.2/1.16
= 2.7586207
= $2.76
Therefore, The U.S rice of the same toothpaste is about $2.76
Important provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act Multiple Choice encourage the destruction of financial documents. approve corporate loans to directors of the company. encourage outside CPA firms to deliver several services to their clients, including auditing services and consulting services. require the CEO and CFO of corporations to certify the accuracy of financial reports.
Answer: require the CEO and CFO of corporations to certify the accuracy of financial reports.
Explanation:
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was passed by the US Congress in the wake of the devastating crisis that engulfed the financial world as a result of the dodgy accounting practices of Enron, WorldCom and Tyco amongst others to protect the Public from acts by companies that would seek to deceive and mislead the public in terms of Accounting and Corporate disclosures.
One of the provisions was that Top Executives such as the CEO and the CFOs of companies personally certify the accuracy of the Financial reports. By doing this they can take personal responsibility and if they make a false certification willingly, they could be prosecuted and jailed.
Heinz Ketchup holds 54% of the U.S. ketchup market, and nine of every 10 restaurants feature Heinz ketchup. However, Heinz has learned that many restaurant owners simply refill Heinz bottles with cheaper ketchup, thereby capitalizing on the Heinz name without the cost. One restaurant owner explains, "It’s just ketchup. The customers don’t notice." There are no specific health regulations that apply, and owners are not breaking the law by refilling the bottles. Do you think this practice is ethical?
Answer:
No, not at all. The practice is NOT ethical.
Explanation:
So, from the question above let us take each statement one after the other.

Suppose a firm’s sales for the year = $1200 and its average receivables balance is $200. What is the firm’s Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio, expressed in days (not times per year)?
Answer:
61 days
Explanation:
Accounts receivable turn over ratio is an efficiency ratio that is used to calculate how efficiently a company is receiving its sales on account payments . This measures the number of times in a period that a company collects its average accounts receivable.
When expressed in days , it reveals the number of days it takes a sales on account customer to make payment
Workings
Annual sales = 1200
Average receivable balance = 200
Receivable turnover ratio = Annual sales /average receivable balance
1200/ 200 = 6
Account receivable turnover ratio in days = 365/receivable turnover ration
365/6 = 60.8 days = approximately 61 days
This shows that it takes a customer approximately 61 days to pay their purchase on account which
Your company rents computers to local businesses and schools. You have 1,600 computers with a book value of $163,000. As a result of changing technology, your computers are more difficult to rent so you must drastically reduce your rental price, which causes a decrease in estimated future cash flows. The fair value of the computers is estimated to be $123,500 because of their outdated technology. Your company should report an asset impairment loss of:
Answer:
Your company should report an asset impairment loss of : $39,500
Explanation:
Impairment loss is recognized when the Carrying Amount of an Asset exceed its Recoverable Amount.
Carrying Amount
Carrying Amount is the Cost of Asset less its Accumulated Depreciation
Carrying Asset of Computers = $163,000
Recoverable Amount
Recoverable Amount is the Higher of :
Value in Use of Asset orFair Value less Cost to Sale the AssetIn this case the Recoverable amount is $123,500
Analysis for impairment loss
Carrying Amount : $163,000 > Recoverable Amount : $123,500,
Thus we have an impairment situation.
Impairment loss is $39,500 ($163,000 - $123,500)
Skolits Corp. issued 20-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 8.9 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 110 percent of par value, what is the YTM
Answer:
The YTM is 7.85%
Explanation:
Since 20 year bonds were issued 2 years ago,
Time to Maturity = 18 years
Coupon Rate = 8.9%
Lets assume that the par value of the bond is $100
The bonds make semi-annual payments,
Therefore, number of periods = 18 × 2 = 36
Semi-annual Coupon =( 8.9% × 100 ) / 2 = $4.45
Current Value of Bond = 110% of par value = 1.1 × 100 = $110
YTM is the discount rate which makes the present value of all the future cash flows equal to the current value of the bond, that is $110 , which means
110 = [tex]4.45/(1+r)^1[/tex] + [tex]4.45/(1+r)^2[/tex] + ... + [tex]4.45/(1+r)^{35[/tex] + [tex]104.45/(1+ r)^{36[/tex]
where, r is YTM/2
r = 3.927%
Therefore, YTM = 3.927 × 2 = 7.85%
A company had net sales of $21,500 and ending accounts receivable of $2,700 for the current period. Its days' sales uncollected equals: (Use 365 days a year.) Multiple Choice 8.0 days. 58.9 days. 45.8 days. 7.4 days. 45.2 days.
Answer:
45.8 days
Explanation:
The computation of the days sales uncollected is shown below:
But before that first we need to find out the inventory turnover ratio which is
Inventory turnover ratio = Sales ÷ Accounts receivable
= $21,500 ÷ $2,700
= 7.96 times
Now Days sales uncollected is
= 365 ÷ Inventory turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 7.96
= 45.8 days
We simply applied the above formulas

Big Canyon Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with 17 years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and a price of $969. At this price, the bonds yield 8.1 percent. What must the coupon rate be on the bonds?
Answer:
7.8%
Explanation:
For computing the coupon rate first we have to determine the PMT by using the PMT formula which is shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $969
Future value or Face value = $1,000
RATE =8.1%
NPER = 17 years
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative

g Suppose the banking system has $100,000 in outstanding deposits and actual reserves of $50,000. Using the simple money multiplier formula (i.e., individuals hold no cash), if the required reserve ratio is 40%, the maximum possible amount that the banking system can now add to the money supply is:Group of answer choices$15,000$20,000$25,000$40,000
Answer: $25,000
Explanation:
The Money Multiplier allows us to calculate how much money banks can create in an economic given a certain reserve ratio.
The formula is;
Money Multiplier = 1 /reserve ratio
= 1/ 0.4
= 2.5
The reserve ratio is 40% which means the bank should be holding 40% of deposits as reserves.
= 100,000 * 40%
= $40,000
Yet they are holding $50,000. They are holding $10,000 more than required. Should they release that $10,000 then they will create;
= 10,000 * money Multiplier
= 10,000 * 2.5
= $25,000
ABC Appliance offers a warranty requiring an annual fee. The warranty may be purchased at the time of sale or at any time within the first year after the appliance was purchased. The warranty fee after the date of purchase is twice the time-of-purchase fee. When asked why the fee was higher after the date of purchase, ABC's president said, "Buying a warranty is voluntary. We've noted that those who buy the warranty after the purchase date have a greater need for service." Charging the same rate or a lower rate after the date of purchase would expose ABC to what problem that also impacts private insurers?
Answer: adverse selection
Explanation:
Adverse selection is a situation whereby the sellers possesses information that the buyers do not have. It may also be the other way round whereby the buyers have information which the sellers don't have regarding the quality of a product.
There is information failure between both parties; typically, it's usually the sellers who has more information. Therefore, base on the scenario above, charging same rate or lower rate after the date of the purchase would expose ABC to adverse selection problems.
