Answer:

2) The 20 year bond will decrease more in price

Explanation:

Bonds represent debt securities whereby the issuer raises long term finance, with an obligation to pay a fixed rate of coupon payments to the lender and principal repayment upon maturity.

Bond prices refer to the present value of a bond's stream of coupon payments and principal repayment at the end.

The market rate of interest represents an investors required rate of return also known as yield to maturity (YTM).

Bond prices and interest rates have inverse relationship. When market interest rates increase, the price of bonds fall.

In the given case, the fall in the value would be more in case of 20 year old bond since the interest rate pattern is more certain in shorter duration than for longer duration.

In 1924, the famous novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote an article for the Saturday Evening Post entitled ?How to live on $36,000
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

$4,267,059

Explanation:

to determine the equivalent amount of money between 1924 and 2008, we must divide the 2008 CPI by the 1924 CPI, and then multiply by $36,000:

= (2015 / 17) x $36,000 = 118.53 x $36,000 = $4,267,059

The consumer price index measures the weighted price of basket of goods . It is useful for calculating inflation and comparing how the purchasing value of the US dollar has decreased in time. Basically what this shows us, is that $1 in 1924 would purchase the same amount of goods as $118.53 in 2008.

Perdue Company purchased equipment on October 1 for $55,060. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or
zhenek [66]

Answer:

$13,300 for each of the four years

Unit of output

$9800

$18900

$16100

$8400

double declining

27530

13765

6882.5

3441.25

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

( $55,060 - $1,860) / 4 = $13,300 each year

Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x  (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

( $55,060 - $1,860) / 7600 = 7

year 1 = 7 x 1400 = 9800

year 2 = 7 x 2700 = $18900

year 3 = 7 x 2300 = $16100

year 4 = 7 x 1200 = $8400

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/4 = 0.5

Year 1 = $55,060 x 0.5 = 27530

book value =  $55,060 - 27530 = 27530

year 2 = 27530 x 0.5 = 13765

book value = 27530 - 13765 =  13765

year 3 =  13765 x 0.5 = 6882.50
