Answer:

a) Zero coupon bond does not pay periodical interest and formula to compute the value of a zero-coupon bond:

Value = Face Value / (1 +Yield / 2) ** Years to Maturity * 2

b) Interest deduction

After 1 year bond value from the above equation is 437.08

437.08 - 411.99 = 25.09

In the 14th year bond value from the above equation is 942.60

1000 - 942.60 = 57.40

c) Straight Line Method

Total Interest Paid = 1000 - 411.99

= 588.01

For yearly calculation

588.01 / 15 = 39.21

Further computation is done in the image below.

Answer:

A) 365.28

B) first year:

25.37593  

and during last year:

66.49

C) straight line will generate interest evenly throughout the life of the bond:

(1,000 - 365.28) / 15 = 42.32 interest expense per year

Explanation:

We solve for the present value of a lump sum as the zero-coupon is a bond with no interest payment only maturity.

Is important to notice the required return is compounding semiannually thus, there are two payment per year and the rate should be halved:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  $1,000.00

time  30.00 (15 years x 2 payment per year)

rate  0.03500 (7% annual compounding semiannually)

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.035)^{30} } = PV  

PV   356.2784

Now, we calculate the interest expense for the year

356.2784 x (1.035 x 1.035 -1 ) =  25.37593  

For the last year

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  $1,000.00

time  2.00

rate  0.03500

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.035)^{2} } = PV  

PV   933.5107

1000 maturity - 933.51 value one year before = 66.49

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Under Bonus Depreciation, which was part of the tax reform act under Trump’s administration, Taxpayers are allowed to claim 100 percent of property acquired and placed into service after September 27, 2017 and before January 1, 2023.

  • a. True

Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, bonus depreciation increased from 50% to 100% fro qualified property acquired between September 27, 2017, and before January 1, 2023.

Taxpayers generally want to take as much depreciation expense as possible in the earliest possible years due to the time value of money.

  • b. False

The time value of money states that 1 dollar today is worth more than 1 dollar tomorrow, so 1 dollar saved today is worth more than 1 dollar saved tomorrow. That means that taxpayers will want to decrease their taxes as much as possible and as soon as possible.
