You buy a 7 percent, 25-year, $1,000 par value floating rate bond in 1999. By the year 2004, rates on bonds of similar risk are up to 9 percent. What is your one best guess as to the value of the bond
Answer:
The best guess to the value of bond is $1000.
Explanation:
The best guess to the value of a bond is $1000 because the flotation rate bonds are those bonds where coupon rate varies according to the market situation. Therefore, we can say that the coupon rate in the case of flotation bonds is based upon the rate of LIBOR, etc. Generally, the bond value remains the same and there will be no capital gain or loss to the investor.
The best guess to the value of a bond is $1000
The following information should be considered:
The floation rate bond is the bond where the coupon rate should be changed and it should be changed as per the market condition. So here the price of the bond remains the same or we can say it should be constant.Therefore we can conclude that The best guess to the value of a bond is $1000

Costs other than depreciation and interest expense were 20 percent of sales. Depreciation expense was $50,000, interest expense was $95,000, and dividends paid were $23,000. The company also received dividends of $8,000 from a company in which it had 30% ownership stake. Which of the following statements is most CORRECT?a. The firm's taxable income was $637,400. b. The firm's after-tax income was $405,564. c. The firm's marginal tax rate was 39 percent. d. The firm's tax for the year was $113,900. e. None of the above
Answer:
e. None of the above
Explanation:
total revenue $980,000
- operating costs $196,000
- depreciation $50,000
- interests $95,000
income $639,000
+ dividends from outside corporation = $8,000 x (1 - 80% DRD) = $1,600
total taxable income = $639,000 + $1,600 = $640,600
current corporate tax is 21%, so the company's marginal tax rate would be 21%
income taxes for the year = $640,600 x 21% = $134,526
the company's after tax income = $640,600 - $134,526 = $506,074
If a Starbucks tall latte cost $3.20 in the United States and 3 euros in the Euro area, then purchasing-power parity implies the nominal exchange rate is how many euros per dollar?
a. .938 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs more dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.
b. .938 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs fewer dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. then in the Euro area.
c. 1.067 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs more dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.
d. 1.067 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs fewer dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.
Answer:
a. .938 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs more dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.
Explanation:
We can see in the example that the Euro is cheaper than the dollar in purchasing-power parity. More specifically, the exchange rate is .938 euros per dollar.
This is why it is more expensive to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in Europe. The Euro is cheaper.
Jason just joined a new gym and signed up for a one-year membership. Membership fees can be paid in 12 monthly payments of $50, due at the beginning of each month or in one payment today. If the appropriate interest rate is 11%,.How much should he pay today for the annual membership?
Answer:
$570.91
Explanation:
For computing, the amount pay today for the annual membership we just need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment
Provided that
Future value = $0
Rate of interest = 11% ÷ 12 months = 0.916666%
NPER = 12 months
PMT = $50
The formula is shown below:
= PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the amount paid today for the membership is $570.91
Thad is worried about the selling price. Rumors are circulating that other retro brands of cycles may be revived. If so, the selling price for the Western Hombre would have to be reduced to $9,500 to compete effectively. In that event, Thad would also reduce fixed expenses to $670,000 by reducing advertising expenses, but he still hopes to sell 400 units per year. d. What would the net operating income be in this situation
Answer:
$3,130,000
Explanation:
Net operating income = Total revenue - Total cost
Total revenue = price x quantity = $9,500 x 400 = $3,800,000
Total cost = $670,000
Net operating income = $3,800,000 - $670,000 = $3,130,000

Fixed manufacturing expenses ........................ Fixed selling and administrative expenses ...... $150,000 $72,000 $50,000 $33,000 In the company's accounting system all fixed expenses of the company are fully allocated to products. Further investigation has revealed that $30,000 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $13,000 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product V86O is discontinued. A. According to the company's accounting system, what is the net operating income earned by product V86O? B. What would be the effect on the company's overall net operating income if product V86O were dropped?
Answer:
A. According to the company's accounting system, what is the net operating income earned by product V86O?
net loss ($5,000)B. What would be the effect on the company's overall net operating income if product V86O were dropped?
the company's net operating income would decrease by $40,000Explanation:
net operating income from product V860:
total sales $150,000
- variable expenses $72,000
- fixed manufacturing expenses $50,000
- fixed selling and administrative expenses $33,000
net loss ($5,000)
if product is dropped:
unavoidable fixed costs = ($50,000 + $33,000) - ($30,000 + $13,000) = $40,000
Gienuine Products Inc. requires a new machine. Two companies have submitted bids, and you have been assigned the task of choosing one of the machines. Cash now analysis indicates the following:
Machine A Machine B Year Cash Flow Cash Flow o $2,000 -$2,000 832 832 832 832 0 2 0 0 4 3,877
What is the internal rate of return for each machine?
Answer:
18% and 24.01%
Explanation:
The computation of the internal rate of return for each machine is shown below:
Let us assume the Internal rate of return be X
And as we know that
The present value of cash inflows = present value of cash outflows
For Machine A
So,
$2,000 = $3877 ÷ 1.0x^4
So X = IRR = 18%
For Machine B
$2,000 = $832 ÷ 1.0x + $832 ÷ 1.0x^2 + $832 ÷ 1.0x^3 + $832 ÷ 1.0x^4
So X = IRR = 24.01%
Gall Manufacturing sells a product for $50 per unit. The fixed costs are $840,000, and the variable costs are 60 percent of the selling price. As a result of new automated equipment, it is anticipated that fixed costs will increase by $200,000 and variable costs will be 50 percent of the selling price. The new break-even point in units is
Answer:
41,600 units
Explanation:
The computation of the break even point in unit is shown below:
As we know that
Break Even Point:
= Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
where,
Fixed Cost = $840,000 + $200,000
= $1,040,000
And,
Variable cost per unit is
= 50% 0f selling price
= $50 × 50%
= $25
So, the break even point in units is
= $1,040,000 ÷ $25
= 41,600 units
Weber Company purchased a mining site for $659,964 on July 1. The company expects to mine ore for the next 10 years and anticipates that a total of 96,740 tons will be recovered. The estimated residual value of the property is $55,169. During the first year, the company extracted 6,682 tons of ore. The depletion expense is
Answer:
$41,774
Explanation:
the depletion expense is calculated below
Depletion expense reffered to the charge against profits for the use of natural resources.To calculate the depletion per unit we will need to calculate the total cost less salvage value then divide it by the total number of estimated units.
The expense is calculated by multiplying the depletion per unit by the number of natural resources units consumed current period.
Original cost= $659,964
residual value = $55,169
estimated units or tons= 96,740 tons
number of tons extracted in a given year = 6,682 tons of ore.
depletion expense =?
We will need to find the difference between the residual value and the original cost first. Which is
= (Original cost - residual value) = )$659,964 - $55,169)/96,740 tons
= 6.25
(6.25* 6,682 tons )= $41774
Hence,The depletion expense =$41774

_________ is the use of an asset not the subject of the loan to collateralize that loan.
Answer:
Cross-collateralization
Explanation:
Cross-collateralization is used as an asset to collateral an initial loan as collateral for another loan irrespective of subject of the loan.
For example: If a person takes a loan from the same bank a car loan secured by the car, a home loan secured by the house, and so on, then these assets can be used as cross-collaterals for other loans.
Hence, the correct answer is cross-collateralization.

On January 1, 2021, Perez Co. issued at par $10,000 of 6% bonds convertible in total into 1,000 shares of Perez's common stock. No bonds were converted during 2021. Throughout 2021, Perez had 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Perez's 2021 net income was $4,500, and its income tax rate is 30%. No potentially dilutive securities other than the convertible bonds were outstanding during 2021. Perez's diluted earnings per share for 2021 would be:_________.a. $5.00.
b. $4.54.
c. $4.50.
d. $4.72.
Answer:
EPS = $4.50
diluted EPS = $2.46
Explanation:
no option is correct since EPS = $4.50, and the rest of the options are all higher amounts. Diluted EPS are always smaller than EPS.
common stock outstanding = 1,000 stocks
bonds shares (diluted) = 1,000 stocks
net income = $4,500
bond interest = $10,000 x 6% x (1 - 30%) = $420
diluted earnings per share = ($4,500 + $420) / (1,000 shares + 1,000 shares) = $4,920 / 2,000 shares = $2.46

Requirement 1:
A. If the discount rate is 8 percent, what is the present value of these cash flows?
B. Which of these cash flow streams has the higher present value at 8 percent?
Requirement 2:
A) If the discount rate is 20 percent, what is the present value of these cash flows?
B) Which of these cash flow streams has the higher present value at 20 percent?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Investment X offers to pay you $4,700 per year for 9 years
Investment Y offers to pay you $6,400 per year for 5 years.
Requirement 1:
First, we need to calculate the final value, using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
Investment X:
FV= {4,700*[(1.08^9)-1]} / 0.08
FV= $58,691.52
Investment Y:
FV= {6,400*[(1.08^5)-1]} / 0.08
FV= $37,546.25
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Investment X:
PV= 58,691.52/(1.08^9)
PV= $29,360.37
Investment Y:
PV= 37,546.25/(1.08^5)
PV= $25,553.35
Investment X provides the higher present value, therefore, it should be the one to choose.
Requirement 2:
First, we need to calculate the final value, using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
Investment X:
FV= {4,700*[(1.20^9)-1]} / 0.20
FV= $97,754.84
Investment Y:
FV= {6,400*[(1.20^5)-1]} / 0.20
FV= $47,626.24
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Investment X:
PV= 97,754.84/(1.20^9)
PV= $18,945.54
Investment Y:
PV= 47,626.24/(1.20^5)
PV= $19,139.92
Investment Y provides the higher present value, therefore, it should be the one to choose.

Suppose you have a production technology that can be characterized by a learning curve. Every time you increase production by one unit, your marginal cost decreases by $6. There are no fixed costs, and the first unit costs you $76 to produce. Use the given information to fill in the marginal cost of each unit, as well as the total cost and average cost of each level of output. Quantity Marginal Cost Total Cost Average Cost (Units) ($) ($) ($/unit) 1 $76 $76 $76 2 $ $ $ 3 $ $ $ 4 $ $ $ 5 $ $ $ 6 $ $ $ Suppose you receive a request for proposal (RFP) on a project for two units. Your break-even price for two units is $ . Suppose that if you get the contract, you estimate that you can win another project for two more units. The break-even price for those next two units alone is $ .
Answer:
a) Learning Costs Curve:
Quantity Marginal Total Cost ($) Average Cost (Units)
Cost ($) ($/unit)
1 $76 $76 $76
2 $70 $146 $73
3 $64 $210 $70
4 $58 $268 $67
5 $52 $320 $64
6 $46 $366 $61
b) For a request for proposal for two units, the break-even price for the two units is $146 ($73 per unit).
c) For two more units, the break-even price for them alone is $122 ($268 - $146). Each unit's break-even price will be $61 ($122/2).
Explanation:
a) A break-even price is a price that is equal to the total cost. At break-even, there is no profit and there is no loss. The total cost equals total revenue.
b) The learning cost curve shows how the "marginal cost decreases as a result of an increase in production by one unit." This curve can be illustrated graphically to show how the marginal and average costs reduce as a result of the increase in the quantity produced.

Explanation:
A bond is issued at par when investors pay the face value of a bond because its stated interest rate is equal to the prevailing market rate.
A bond discount occurs when investors pay less than the face value of a bond because its stated interest rate is lower than the prevailing market rate. The interest expense is increased by the amortization of the bond discount. Note that the amortization had been done annually. It could also be done semi-annually.
A bond premium occurs when investors are willing to pay more than the face value of a bond because its stated interest rate is higher than the prevailing market interest rate. The interest expense is reduced by the amortization of the premium.
The straight-line interest method has been used in this case, because no information is available about the changes in the bonds' book value. The other method is the effective interest method. This technique calculates the actual interest rate in a period based on the amount of a financial instrument's book value at the beginning of the accounting period. Thus, if the book value of a financial instrument decreases, so too will the amount of related interest and vice versa.
The straight-line method or the effective interest method is also used to amortize bond premiums and bond discounts.
Vandermark Credit Corp. wants to earn an effective annual return on its consumer loans of 14.75 percent per year. The bank uses daily compounding on its loans. What interest rate is the bank required by law to report to potential borrowers
Answer:
13.76%
Explanation:
The computation of the interest rate required by law is shown below:
As we know that
Effective annual rate = (1 + Annual percentage rate ÷ number of days)^number of days - 1
0.1475 = (1 + Annual percentage rate ÷ 365)^365 - 1
(0.1475 + 1) = (1 + Annual percentage rate ÷ 365)^365
(1.1475)^ × (1 ÷ 365) = 1 + Annual percentage rate ÷ 365
So, the Annual percentage rate is
= [(1.1475)^ × (1 ÷ 365) - 1] × 365
= 0.1376
= 13.76%

Klapper Company claimed a tax deduction which was uncertain when it was deducted in 2018 but is relatively certain of receiving the deduction over a five-year period. Which of the following is not correct in accounting for the uncertain tax item?
a. A contingency reserve will be set up at the same amount as the deferred tax asset if the firm is certain it may claim 100% of the deduction over time.
b. Income tax expense in the first year is the current portion of income tax expense minus the increase in the deferred tax asset.
c. The contingency reserve is reduced each year with the offset to the deferred tax account.
d. As the company will ultimately get 100% of the deduction, no contingency reserve is required.
Answer: d. As the company will ultimately get 100% of the deduction, no contingency reserve is required.
Explanation:
Just because the company will eventually get 100% of the deduction does not mean that no contingency reserve is required.
A contingency reserve needs to be created that is the same amount as the deferred tax asset which arises from the claimed deduction and deducted from every year to offset the deduction for that particular year until the 5 years have elapsed.
