The worth of the shares when the stockholder originally purchased them is $1105.

<h3>What are shares?</h3>

Shares are fractional ownership interests in a corporation. For some businesses, shares are a type of financial instrument that allows for the equitable distribution of any declared residual profits in the form of dividends.

It is assumed that the purchase price of the share is $100. As the stockholder sold her shares for $1,403, making a profit of 27%, it implies that:

  127 = $1,403

∴ 100 = $1,403/127 × 100

        = $1104.72

Therefore, $1104.72 is the original purchase price of the share.

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Total Years = 5, semiannually = 5 × 2 = 10

Rate = 7% yearly, semiannually rate = 7 ÷ 2 = 3.5%  

Journal Entries

On Jan 1

Cash A/c           Dr. $9,594,415

Discount on bonds payable A/c        Dr. $405,585

      To Bonds payable A/c          $10,000,000

(Being the issuance of bond payable is recorded)

Discount value of issued bonds = $10,000,000 - $9,594,415 = $405,585

2).

On Jun

Interest expenses A/c             Dr. $390,559

Discount on bonds payable A/c($405,585 ÷10)           Dr.40,559

 To Cash A/c($10,000,0000 × 3.5%)     $350,000

Interest expenses A/c              Dr. $390,559

Discount on bonds payable A/c($405,585*10/100)     Dr.$40,559

 To Cash A/c($10,000,000*3.5/100)      $350,000

(Being the payment of second semiannual interest is recorded)

b). Bond Interest Expense Amount for First Year

= Interest Expenses + Amortized Discount

= $700,000 + $81,117

= $781,117

Interest expenses = $350,000 + $350,000 = $700,000

Amortized Discount = $40,559 + $40,559 = $81,117

c).The Company issued the bonds at $9,594,415 for the face amount of $10,000,000 because bonds issued at discount for $405,585 as the coupon rate is less than the market interest.

Note whether the following phenomena would be consistent with or a violation of the efficient market hypothesis.
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

D) Stock prices of companies that announce increased earning in January tend to outperform the market in February.    

Explanation:

The above is consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis. All others are a direct contravention.

<em>The efficient market hypothesis (EMH), also known as the efficient market theory, is a hypothesis that states that the prices of shares contain all information and that consistent alpha generation is impossible.</em>

According to the hypothesis, stocks always trade at their fair value on exchanges, making it impossible for investors to purchase undervalued stocks or sell stocks for inflated prices.

This means that it should not be possible to outperform the overall market through professional stock selection or market timing.

The only way according to EMH that an investor can obtain better returns is by purchasing riskier investments.  

By implication, this also means that it is not possible to "beat the market" consistently on a risk-adjusted basis since market prices should only react to new information.  

You would note that in the option D, earning (which is a key driver for demand of stock) is announced in one month. The natural reaction would be for the demand for that stock to surge in the next month.
