You bought one of Lambert Sandblasting Company's 15-year bonds one year ago for $960. These bonds pay 7 percent annually, have a

face value of $1,000, and mature 14 years from now. Suppose you decide to sell your bond today when the required return on the bonds is 8 percent. The inflation rate over the past year was 2.7 percent. What was your total real return on this investment?

Answer:

Real return on investment: 22.9465%

Explanation:

Okay let's explain each concept we have given:

<em>Face Value</em>                                         $1,000

This is the ammount Lambert will pay at maturity

Purchase Value                                   $  960

This is the Ammount we pay for the bond

<em>Market Value of the bond today         $   ???</em>

This is what we need to determinate to see the return we got

Once we got the market Value we will do:

Market Value / Purchase Value   - 1 = rate of return

Now the <em>market value today will be the present value of the bond,</em> and the bond has the following data:

  • Mature in 14 year
  • bond rate 7% annualy.

So each year we receive the 7% of the face value ($1,000) = $70

And at the end of the bond life we receive 1,000

We need to bring this numbers at present day using the real market rate, because the economy is having inflation:

market rate  8%

inflation rate 2.7%

real rate:  

(1+rate)/(1+inflation) -1 = real rate

\frac{1.08}{1.027} -1 = real rate

real rate = 5.16%

To know the present value of the bond we will have to consider:

  • present value of an annuity of 70$ during 14 year at a rate of 5.16% =
  • present value of the 1,000 that will be pay at maturity at a rate of 5.16%

<em>The annuity will be </em>

70 * \frac{1-(1+0.0516)^-14}{0.0516} = 685.87

C * \frac{1-(1+rate)^-time}{rate} = present value

$685,87

<em>The present value of the 1,000 will be</em>  

face value/(1+rate)^time

1,000/(1+0.0516)^14 = $494,42

for a total of $1.180,29

Now we will calculate the real return on the investment:

we receive 1.180,29 for 960 so the rate is

1.180,29 /960 - 1 = 0.229465 =  22.9465%

  • Thursday and Friday weigh up to 20. Except for Monday and Tuesday, all the days have packaged up to the value of  21. So Monday and Tuesday are the days that appear to be out of control.
  • On checking the package for each day he came to know that Monday and Tuesday have process out of control.

Cloud [144]

The adjusted balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account at the end of 2019 is <u>$14,000</u>.

<u> Explanation</u>:

<em><u>Given</u></em>:

Cost of van= $32,000

Estimated residual value= $3,200

Straight-line Depreciation Rate= 1/8

                                                = 0.125

Straight-line Depreciation Rate= 12.5%

Declining Balance Rate = 2 ×12.5%

                                             = 25%

Double declining balance can be calculated with the following formula:

2 x basic depreciation rate x book value

By applying the values,

The adjusted balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account= $14,000.

Archy [21]

Answer:

Return on investment =  -0.71%

Explanation:

<em>The return on investment is the sum of the dividends earned and capital gains made during the holding period of the investment.  </em>

<em>Dividend is the proportion of the profit made by a company which is paid to shareholders.  </em>

<em>Capital gains is another type of the return made on an equity investment as a result of increase in the value of the shares. It is difference between the cost of the share and the value at the time of disposal</em>.  

Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows:  

Total  Return on investment =  

(Capital gain/ loss + dividend )/purchase price × 100  

Capital loss = (184 -140) × 120 = - 480

Dividend = 427

Commission = 34 + 39 =-73

Net loss on investment = - 480 - 73 + 427= -126

Return on investment = -126 /(148× 120) = -0.71%

Return on investment =  -0.71%
