It will take 8.04 years for the initial investment of $15000 to become $30,000

What is the future value of an investment?

The future value of $15,000 invested now earning a rate of return of 9% per year is $30,000, it the future equivalent of an amount invested now when the invested amount has earned interest over a specific period of time.

The below future value formula of single cash flow can be used to determine the number of years it takes for the initial investment to double.

FV=PV*(1+r)^N

FV=future value=$30,000

PV=initial investment=$15,000

r=rate of return=9%

N=number of years it takes for the initial investment to double=unknown(assume it is X)

$30,000=$15000*(1+9%)^N

$30000/$15000=(1+9%)^N

2=1.09^N

take log of both sides

ln(2)=N*ln(1.09)

N=ln(2)/ln(1.09)

N=8.04 years

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

$5.50 dividend per share to common stock

Explanation:

In case a company has cumulative preference shares then the company has to pay preference dividend in arrears

Here, preference dividend was not paid in the year 2017

Preference dividend for 2017 = 500 $\times$ $100 $\times$ 4%

= $2,000

Since the dividend is paid in between the year 2018, dividend is paid for the year 2017 and not for 2018 thus preference dividend is for a year, only for 2017

Therefore, dividend to common equity = $35,000 - $2,000 = $33,000

Dividend per share = $33,000/6,000 = $5.50 per share

Dr Bond Payable $800,000

Dr Loss on early extinguishment $11,000

Cr Discount on bonds $21,000 (7/10 x $30,000)

Cr Cash $790,000

Supporting calculations:

*Unamortized discount calculation:

Face value of the bond 800,000

Less: issue price of the bond 770,000

Discount on bonds payable 30,000 (800,000-770,000)

Amortization of discount on bonds payable per year under straight line method (30,000/10) 3,000

Unamortized discount for the remaingg 7 years is 21,000 (7*3,000)

*Loss on early extinguishment calculation:

Face value of the bond 800,000

Less: Unamortized discount for the remaingg 7 years 21,000

Carrying value of the bonds (800,000-21,000) 779,000

Retirement price of the bonds 790,000

Loss on early extinguishment -11,000

Why is NDP never greater than GDP.

hammer [34]

Because NDP stands for National Domestic Product which means everything that is produced in the country e.g. the US, and abroad from companies that are American.
Whereas, GDP is just from goods and services made in the country and in its borders.

Equipment purchased at the beginning of the fiscal year for $150,000 is expected to have a useful life of 5 years, or 15,000 ope

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

(a). Depreciation for 1st year= $24,000

Depreciation for 2nd year= $24,000

(b). 1st Year Depreciation = $20,000

for 2nd year depreciation = $26,000

(c) 1st year Depreciation= $60,000

2nd year Depreciation = $36,000

Explanation:

a).

Annual Depreciation of Equipment = (Cost of Equipment - Residual Value) ÷ Useful Life of Equipment

= ($150,000 - $30,000) ÷ 5

= $24,000

Rate of Straight Line Depreciation = Annual Depreciation of Equipment ÷ (Cost of Equipment - Residual Value) × 100

= 24,000 ÷ ( $150,000 - 30,000) × 100

= $24,000 ÷ $120,000 × 100 = 20%

Depreciation for 1st year= $24,000

Depreciation for 2nd year= $24,000

b). Unit Of Production For 1st Year Depreciation= (Cost Of Equipment -Residual Value) × Annual Production Units ÷ Total Operating Hours

= ($150,000 - $30,000) × 2,500 ÷ 15,000 = $20,000

Unit of Production for 2nd year depreciation = ( $150,000 - $30,000) × 32,50 ÷ 15,000

= $26,000

c). Declining Balance Depreciation Rate = Straight Line Depreciation Rate × 2

= 20% × 2 = 40% (Because Declining Balance at Twice the Straight Line Rate)

1st year Depreciation= $150,000 × 40÷100 = $60,000

2nd year Depreciation = ($150,000 - $60,000) × 40÷100 =$36,000
