john Hayes and Lynn Magosian, auditors for a public accounting firm, went to lunch at the Bay View Restaurant in San Francisco.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

John is correct but Lynn isn't

Explanation:

John is correct because he left his coat with the coatroom attendant under the premise that it would be properly looked after and returned to him when he was done having lunch at the restaurant. However, Lynn just left her coat lying around under no ones care or supervision, there wasn't a predetermined agreement that anyone would be responsible for watching it on her behalf, therefore I don't think she is has the right to sue.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Bond Price = $951.9633746 rounded off to $951.96

Explanation:

To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, which is the present value of the bond, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is an annual bond, we will use the annual coupon payment, annual number of periods and annual YTM. The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 10% = $100

Total periods remaining (n) = 3

r or YTM = 12%

Bond Price = 100 * [( 1 - (1+0.12)^-3) / 0.12] + 1000 / (1+0.12)^3

Bond Price = $951.9633746 rounded off to $951.96
