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%

ira [324]

Answer: c. legal but unethical

Explanation:

With John being in charge of the loan application when Albert came to apply, John had access to Albert's information.

John then used this information which he had LEGAL access to, to recommend a bank product to Albert.

This is legal but UNETHICAL because Albert did not know that any information he gave will be used for a reason different from his application for a loan.

Calculate the balance in Accumulated Depreciation at the end of the second year for all three methods
eimsori [14]

This is the full question:

At the beginning of 2016, Air Asia purchased a used airplane at a cost of $40,000,000. Air Asia expects the plane to remain useful for eight years (5,000,000 miles) and to have a residual value of $5,000,000. Air Asia expects the plane to be flow 1,200,000 the first year and 1,400,000 the second year.

1) Compute second-year (2017) depreciation expense using the following methods

a. Straight-line

b. Units-of-production

c. Double-declining-balance

2) Calculate the balance in Accumulated Depreciation at the end of the second year for all three methods:

Answer:

Explanation:

1)a) Straight-line

Depreciable base = Cost of the Asset - Residual Value

                              = $40,000,000 - $5,000,000

                              = $35,000,000

Depreciation expense per year = Depreciable base / years of useful life

                                                     = $35,000,000 / 8

                                                     = $4,375,000

The depreciation expense for the second year is = $4,375,000

                                                                                       

b) Units-of-production

Units of Production Rate = Depreciable Base / Units Over Useful Life

                                        = $35,000,000 / 5,000,000 miles

                                        = 7

Depreciation Expense = Units of Production Rate x Actual Units Produced

                                      = 7 x 1,400,000 miles in the second year

                                      = $9,800,000

c. Double-declining-balance

Double-declining balance = 2 x (Asset Cost - Residual Value ) / Useful Life of the Asset

                                           = 2 x ($40,000,000 - $5,000,000) / 8

                                           = $8,750,000

2) a) Straight-line Accumulated depreciation

We simply multiply the previous answer by two = $4,375,000 x 2

                                                                              = $8,750,000

2) b) Units-of-production Accumulated depreciation

First we find the depreciation expense for the first year using the same formula as above

= 7 x 1,200,000

= $8,400,000

Finally we simply add up depreciation expense for the two years

= $8,400,000 + $9,800,000

= $18,200,000

2) c) Double-declining-balance Accumulated depreciation

We simply multiply the first result by two = $8,750,000 x 2

                                                                    = $17,500,000
