Answer:
$12.53
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Par value = $1,000
Coupon rate = 2.5%
Reference CPI = 204.89
Now CPI = 205.44
By considering the above information, the correct calculation of the current interest payment is
= Par value × Current CPI ÷ Reference CPI × Coupon rate ÷ 2
= $1,000 × 205.44 ÷ 204.89 × 2.5% ÷ 2
= $12.53
We assume the interest is on semi annual payments

Answer:
$60,000
Explanation:
Since Bailey Co. changed their accounting for insurance expense from the cash-basis to the accrual-basis in the current year, and in January of the prior year, Bailey recorded insurance expense of $240,000 for the cash purchase of a four-year insurance policy.
Bailey should report the insurance transaction in the current year's financial statements of an amortization of the insurance expense over the four year period, and take account the portion that pertains to the current year.
Therefore = $240,000 / 4 years = $60,000 per year
Answer:
Low betas.
Explanation:
Low beta stocks are considered to be less risky, and usually they also offer low returns. The risk of losing capital in this type of investment is very low. This type of investment is ideal for people that are risk adverse and prefer to maintain their capital even at low returns.
On the other hand the higher the beta the higher the risk, and it also comes with higher returns on investment.
Because the needs for household goods and food are always constant, the companies that supply them tend to have stock that are low beta.
