Answer:

13.91% and 7.45%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the RATE formula that is shown below:

In the first case,

Given that,

Present value = $900

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000

PMT = 1,000 × 12% = $120

NPER = 10 years

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the yield to maturity is 13.91%

In the second case,

Given that,

Present value = $900

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000

PMT = 1,000 × 12% ÷ 2 = $60

NPER = 10 years

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the yield to maturity is 7.45%

never [62]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Since the preferred stock is not cumulative only the current years' dividend is payable on these stocks.

Preferred stock dividend = (5000 * 100) * 0.08 = $40,000

Of the declared dividend of $100,000,

Preferred Dividend = $40,000

Ordinary share dividend = $60,000

If the shares were cumulative, the prior year dividends would also be payable form the declared dividends bringing the total preferred dividend to $80,000.

Hope that helps.

Cost of Mineral Mine $3,700,000

Less: Ascribed Land Value <u>$395,000</u>

Depletionable Value <u>$3,305,000</u>

No of units can be extracted from Mine = 10,000,000 units

No of units Sold = 1,300,000 units
