Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

$64,474.20

Explanation:

As for the information provided,

discount rate = 7.25%

First payment will be made at the end of year 1

Discounting factor = $\frac{1}{(1+0.0725)^1} = 0.9324$

Thus, current value of payment = $28,000 \times 0.9324$ = $26,107.20

Discounting factor for receipts =

Year 1 = $\frac{1}{(1+0.0725)^1} = 0.9324$ = $28,000 $\times$ 0.9324 = 26,107.20

Year 2 = $\frac{1}{(1+0.0725)^2} = 0.8694 = 35,000 \times 0.8694 = 30,429$

Year 3 = $\frac{1}{(1+ 0.0725)^3} = 0.8106 = 42,000 \times 0.8106 = 34,045.20$

Therefore, value of contract today = - $26,107.20 + $26,107.20 + $30,429.0 + $34,045.20 = $64,474.20

Dominik [7]

Answer:

31 Dec Expense A/c Dr. $5,400

To Prepaid Expense A/c $5,400

(Therefore, expense for the current financial year recorded)

Explanation:

We know that at the time of insurance paid in advance on 1 April for 2 years, entry was;

Prepaid Insurance A/c Dr. $14,400

To Cash A/c $14,400

Now at year end the expense relating to current period shall be recognized properly in the books, so that matching principle of revenue against expenses shall be matched.

Thus, period from 1 April to 31 December = 9 months

Expense for 9 months = $14,400 \times \frac{9}{24} = 5,400$

That means expense for the year = $5,400

Therefore, entry for such recording will be:

31 Dec Expense A/c Dr. $5,400

To Prepaid Expense A/c $5,400

(Therefore, expense for the current financial year recorded)

Use the In the News to answer three questions

Flauer [41]

Answer:

2%

2.5%

1.67%

Explanation:

The yield can be computed using the yield formula which coupon payment divided by price.

The coupon payment=face value*coupon rate

face value is $1000

coupon rate is 2%

coupon payment=2%*$1000=$20

when price is $1000:

yield =$20/$1000=2%

when price is $800

yield=$20/$800=2.5%

when price is $1,200

yield =$20/$1,200=1.67%

In essence ,the lower the price the higher the yield as lower amount is invested in order to receive the same amount of annual coupon of $20
