The yield to maturity (YTM) on 1-year zero-coupon bonds is 7% and the YTM on 2-year zeros is 8%. The yield to maturity on 2-year

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

(a) The arbitrage strategy is to buy zeros with face values of $140 and $1,140 and respective maturities of one and two years, and simultaneously sell the coupon bond.

(b) The profit on the activity equals $0.72 on each bond.

Explanation:

The price of the coupon bond = 140 × PV(7.9%, 2) + 1000 × PV(7.9%, 2)

= 140 × (1-(1/1.079)^2)/0.079 + 1,000/1.079^2

= $1,108.93

If the coupons were withdrawn and sold as zeros individually, then the coupon payments could be sold separately on the basis of the zero maturity yield for maturities of one and two years.

[140/1.07] + [1,140/1.08^2] = $1,108.21.

The arbitrage strategy is to buy zeros with face values of $140 and $1,140 and respective maturities of one and two years, and simultaneously sell the coupon bond.

The profit on the activity equals $0.72 on each bond.

Different customer statement types are available to suit different client situations. Heather wants to help her client send out

motikmotik

Answer: b. Open Item

Explanation:

The statement that Heather wants to help a client send out is to include unpaid invoices, unapplied payments, and Credit Memos which are essentially signs that the creditor has not been paid.

An open item statement would therefore work best because it is to include open accounts that are yet to be paid so will include all those entries described above.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

c.12%

Explanation:

PVF of 12% for 6 years is 4.11

PVFof 11% for 6 years is 4.23

Present value of cash inflows, 12% = 7251*4.11

Present value of cash inflows, 12% = 29801.61

Present value of cash inflows, 11% = 7251*4.23

Present value of cash inflows, 11% = 30671.73

Internal rate of return = 11% + (30671.73 - 30000)/(30671.73-29801.61)

Internal rate of return = 11.7719969659%

Internal rate of return = 11.772%

Answer:

C. The termination of the firm's legal existence.

Explanation:

General partners are individuals, two or more , who come together to own a business and controls daily activities of the business. Each member has unlimited liability and their action can legally bind the activities of the business. They share profit and losses equally.

According to fact pattern 27-3, if the partners agree to dissolve one of their business line- equity lending as in the case above and the company's assets are shared among the partners, it would result in the termination of the firm's legal existence.

Once there is a breach by any of the partners as contained in the partnership agreement and the partner's asset shared, that is dissolution. The partnership business has therefore been terminated legally and cease to exit.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

After the adjusting entry is made, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is a credit balance of $22,290

Explanation:

Arundel Company uses aging to estimate uncollectibles.

Estimated uncollectibles = $250,000 x ( 1 - 99.5%) + $70,000 x (1 - 91%) + $30,000 x (1 - 73%) + $8,000 x (1 - 17%) = $1250 + $6,300 + $8,100 + $6,640 = $22,290

The current unadjusted Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts balance is a debit balance of $2,000.

Bad debt Expense = $22,290 + $2,000 = $24,290

The adjusting entry:

Debit Bad debt Expense $24,290

Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $24,290

After the adjusting entry is made, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is a credit balance of $22,290
