<h3>What is the interest expense on bonds?</h3>

The interest expense for a bond that has the same coupon rate as the market rate is always the same for all periods of the bond.

This shows that the bond was issued at neither premium nor discount but at par.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

N (# of periods) = 20

I/Y (Interest per year) = 7.5%

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $5,250 ($140,000 x 7.5% x 1/2)

FV (Future Value) = $140,000

Results:

PV = $140,000.00

Sum of all periodic payments = $105,000 ($5,250 x 20)

Total Interest = $105,000

<h3>Schedule</h3>

Period PV PMT Interest FV

1 $140,000 $5,250 $5,250 $140,000

2 $140,000 $5,250 $5,250 $140,000

Thus, the interest expense on December 31 of the first year is <u>$5,250</u>.

liq [111]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. McGregor's Theory X.

Explanation:

Theory X is defined by Douglas McGregor in his 1960s book "The Human Side of Enterprise" as an <em>authoritarian</em> style of management. In the book, McGregor explains that styles of management are greatly influenced by how the manager views people. Theory X is based on the view that workers are inherently lazy and unmotivated, prefer to be directed, do not like to take responsibility and dislike to work in general. In this style of management, it is assumed that the only way to push employees to work is to provide them with incentives or punishments, according to their performance. Also, authority is centralized on a select few and employees are strictly controlled and supervised.

In this particular case, Gerard fits the Theory X style of management, as he coerces and threatens employees to push them to do their jobs. He has the belief that people don't like to work and avoid it.

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

$94,260.00

Explanation:

There is no doubt that the difference between net income under absorption costing and variable costing method lies in the treatment of fixed cost, under the former, each product is charged with fixed cost while total fixed cost is charged as a period cost under the latter.

In essence, the fixed cost on ending inventory would have been expensed and deducted in arriving at net income under variable cost, in other words, we simply add to net income under variable costing the fixed cost attributable to an increase in ending inventory

income=$82,500+(3200-1800)*$8.40

net income=$94,260.00
