1 answer:
Answer: 25,200 pounds
Explanation:
Your question is incomplete as it lacked the first part. I attached a completion that I found.
The company has a policy that the ending inventory of foam each month must be equal to 30% of the following month's expected production needs.
This means that in August, the Opening inventory will be 30% of what was is needed in August and the Closing Inventory will be 30% of what is needed in September.
Remember that each cushion requires 2 pounds of foam as stuffing.
Pounds required in August
= 12,000 cushions * 2
= 24,000 pounds
Opening Stock
= 30% * (12,000 * 2)
= 7,200 pounds
Closing stock
= 30% * ( 14,000 * 2)
= 8,400 pounds.
Foam needed to be purchased in August = Pounds required tonbe produced + Closing Stock - Opening Stock
= 24,000 + 8,400 - 7,200
= 25,200
25,200 pounds of foam are what The Porch Cushion Company needs to purchase in August.

Answer:
A Bond's current market value represented by is the present value of a bond as on today. Present value of a bond is it's future cash flows in the form of coupon payments and principal repayment discounted at investor's expectation in the market also referred to as Yield to maturity(YTM).
Present value of a bond is given by the following equation,
where C= Annual coupon payments
YTM = Yield to maturity/ cost of debt/ market rate of return on similarly priced bonds
RV = Redemption value of bond
n = number of years to maturity
<u>a. A bond's coupon rate is higher than it's yield to maturity, then the bond will sell for more than face value.</u>
Hence, if the company pays more interest than what is paid in the market on similarly priced bonds, such bonds shall sell at more than their face value.
<u>b. If a bond's coupon rate is lower than it's yield to maturity, then the bond's price will increase over it's remaining maturity.</u>
Similarly, if a bond pays lower rate of interest than the market rate of interest on similarly priced bonds, the bond shall sell at lower than it's face value and the price will increase over the remaining life of such bonds.
