Answer:

Explanation:

  • The bond has 8% coupon paid semiannually, and those bonds sell at their par value.
  • Since the bond sales at par value, Market rate (Yield) = Coupon rate =8%

<u>Second bond:</u>

  • Coupon rate = 8%
  • Par value = $1,000
  • Semiannual coupon amount = 1000 x 8%/2 = $40
  • Time to maturity = 6 years = 12 semiannual periods
  • Semiannual Yield = 8%/2 = 4%

To get price of this bond we will use PV function of excel:

= PV (rate, nper, pmt, fv, type)

= PV (4%, 12, -40, -1000, 0)

= $1053.32

  • Price of this bond = $1,053.3

Answer:

$936.65

Explanation:

we firstly need to calculate the yield to maturity in order to calculate the Price of the bond  Since the semiannual bond has the same risk as the annaul bond we will calculate the YTM of the semiannual bond

YTM=C+(F-P)/F+P/2

       =80+(1000-1000)/1000+1000/6*2

        =0.0738/7.38%

 Then we calculate the value of the bond

P= C/(1+YTM)+F/(1+YTM)

  =80/(1+0.0738)^6+1000/(1+1.0738)^6

  =69.38+867.27

   =$936.65

What are the costs associated with operating a franchise.
Debora [2.8K]
7 Common Costs Associated with Operating a franchise

Exactly how much a franchise costs is different for every franchise company out there, but most of them have similar startup costs. While the franchisor will help you with some of these costs — maybe through deals it has with preferred vendors or by lending you the money — the onus will be on you to come up with the funds on your own. And it’s not just funds to build and open your franchise, you will also need funds to run it until it becomes profitable.

Let’s take a look at some of the most common costs associated with opening a franchise.

Franchise Fee

When opening a franchise, it’s important to remember that you are essentially “renting” the brand from the franchise. That brand comes with a lot of support and recognition, but you still have to pay for the privilege of being associated with it.

Franchise fees can be as little as $20,000 or as much as $50,000 or even more. The amount of the fee usually depends on how much you have to do to get the franchise up and running. Franchises that require you to build a location will be more than a mobile or home-based franchise, for example.

Your fee will usually cover the cost of your training and site selection support, hence why the fee is higher for businesses that require a location. Exactly what the fee covers is different for each franchise. Sometimes it will just act as a licensing fee for the rights to use the brand. When you are doing your initial research, be sure to find out exactly what your franchise fee covers.

Legal and Accounting Fees

These fees are on you, of course, but they are well worth it. Any person who is considering purchasing a franchise should absolutely consult with an attorney who is familiar with franchise law. The attorney you hire can review the franchise disclosure document with you and go through the franchise agreement to make sure it’s fair.

Each attorney will charge differently for this and it will largely depend on how much time your attorney has to spend on the documents, but you’ll probably have to budget between $1,500 and $5,000 for this.

It’s also a good idea to start working with a qualified accounting firm as soon as you decide to purchase a franchise. An accountant can help you set up your books and records for the company and can also help you determine how much working capital you’ll require to get your business set up and have it run until it becomes profitable.

Working Capital

Speaking of working capital, this is the amount of cash that is available to a given business on a day-to-day basis. It’s crucial to have enough working capital to cover a given length of time. This could be just a few months, or it could be a few years. It depends on how much time the business will need to start bringing in enough revenue for it to run.

Franchisors do generally provide an estimate of how much working capital you’ll require, but you should back this up with your own research and do your own calculations with the help of your accountant. Talk to other franchisees in the system about how much they needed.

Build-Out Costs

Build-out costs include constructing the building and purchasing all the furniture, fixtures, equipment, signage and anything else related to the building such as architectural drawings, zoning compliance fees, contractor fees, decor, security, deposits, insurance and landscaping. Your franchisor will give you an estimate of build-out costs, which vary widely between franchises.

If you choose a home-based franchise, obviously there will not be any buildout costs associated with it, but there may be other expenses like vehicles.

Supplies

These are all the things you require to run your franchise. Restaurants will need food, of course, but they also need plates, cutlery and napkins. Other franchises will need different things to offer their services. Your franchisor can give you a list or estimate of what you will need to run your franchise.

Inventory

If you are purchasing a retail franchise or some other kind of franchise that sells products, you will need inventory. This is another cost that will vary widely between franchises, but your franchisor should be able to help you with estimates. You might have to purchase between $20,000 and $150,000 worth of inventory depending on the business.

Travel and Living Expenses During Training

Franchisors will provide training for franchisees and often the franchisee’s management team. While the training itself is usually covered by the franchise fee, the travelling and living expenses to go to a franchise’s headquarters for that training may not be covered. Often, training runs from a few days to a week or so and is followed up with more training back at the franchisee’s location.

You’ll want to determine whether travel and accommodation are covered by your franchisor and, if not, work out how much the training related expenses will cost you.

On January 1, 2011 Grace Company had an $13,000 balance in the Accounts Receivable account and a zero balance in the Allowance f
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The amount of uncollectible accounts expense recognized on the 2011 income statement is:

$6,600.

Explanation:

As the amount of uncollectible accounts are expressed as percentage of the total sales, then the amount is $6,600

  • Initial Balance  

Dr Accounts Receivable  $ 13.000  

During 2011, Grace provided $55,000 of service on account  

Dr Accounts Receivable  $ 55.000  

Cr SALES $ 55.000  

  • The company collected $48,100 cash from account receivable.  

Dr CASH $ 48.100  

Cr Accounts Receivable  $ 48.100  

  • Uncollectible accounts are estimated to be 12% of sales on account  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 6.600  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 6.600  

If the company applies the allowance method, it means that the account Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts must show as balance the % of accounts receivables as CREDIT.

Bad accounts are those credits granted by the company and there is no possibility of being charged.

"When customers buy products on credits but the company cannot collect the debt, then it's necessary  to cancel the unpaid invoice as uncollectible."

One way is to directly cancel bad debts at the time it was decided that the credit is bad, the total amount reported as bad debt expenses negatively affect the income statement and the accounts receivable are reduced by the same amount, less assets

The other way is to determine a percentage of the total amount of accounts receivable as bad debts, there are many ways to analyze accounts receivable and calculate the value of bad debts.

When the company has the percentage of uncollectible accounts, the required journal entry is Bad Expenses (debit) with Reserve for Bad Accounts (credit)

At the time of cancellation, since the expenses were recognized before, we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit)  with accounts receivable (credit), with this we are recognizing the bad credit of the company.
