Answer:

a. What are the prices of these bonds today?

price of bond X:

0.03 = {37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/26]} /  [(1,000 + MV)/2]

0.03 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/26]

0.03 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 37.5 + 38.46 - 0.03846MV

15 + 0.015MV = 75.96 - 0.03846MV

0.05346MV = 60.96

MV = 60.96 / 0.05346 = $1,140.29

price of bond Y:

0.0375 = {30 + [(1,000 - MV)/26]} /  [(1,000 + MV)/2]

0.0375 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 30 + [(1,000 - MV)/26]

0.0375 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 30 + 38.46 - 0.03846MV

18.75 + 0.01875MV = 68.46 - 0.03846MV

0.05721MV = 49.71

MV = 49.71 / 0.05721 = $868.90

b. What do you expect the prices of these bonds to be in one year?

price of bond X:

0.03 = {37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/24]} /  [(1,000 + MV)/2]

0.03 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/24]

0.03 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 37.5 + 41.67 - 0.04167MV

15 + 0.015MV = 79.17 - 0.04167MV

0.05667MV = 64.17/0.05667 = $1,132.29

price of bond Y:

0.0375 = {30 + [(1,000 - MV)/24]} /  [(1,000 + MV)/2]

0.0375 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 30 + [(1,000 - MV)/24]

0.0375 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 30 + 41.67 - 0.04167MV

18.75 + 0.01875MV = 71.67 - 0.04167MV

0.06042MV = 52.92

MV = 52.92 / 0.06042 = $875.87

c. What do you expect the prices of these bonds to be in three years?

price of bond X:

0.03 = {37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/20]} /  [(1,000 + MV)/2]

0.03 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/20]

0.03 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 37.5 + 50 - 0.05MV

15 + 0.015MV = 87.5 - 0.05MV

0.065MV = 72.5

MV = 72.5 / 0.065 = $1,115.38

price of bond Y:

0.0375 = {30 + [(1,000 - MV)/20]} /  [(1,000 + MV)/2]

0.0375 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 30 + [(1,000 - MV)/20]

0.0375 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 30 + 50 - 0.05MV

18.75 + 0.01875MV = 80 - 0.05MV

0.06875MV = 61.25

MV = 61.251 / 0.06875 = $890.91

d. What do you expect the prices of these bonds to be in eight years?

price of bond X:

0.03 = {37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/10]} /  [(1,000 + MV)/2]

0.03 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/10]

0.03 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 37.5 + 100 - 0.1MV

15 + 0.015MV = 137.5 - 0.1MV

0.115MV = 122.5

MV = 122.5 / 0.115 = $1,065.22

price of bond Y:

0.0375 = {30 + [(1,000 - MV)/10]} /  [(1,000 + MV)/2]

0.0375 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 30 + [(1,000 - MV)/10]

0.0375 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 30 + 100 - 0.1MV

18.75 + 0.01875MV = 130 - 0.1MV

0.11875V = 111.25

MV = 111.25 / 0.11875 = $936.84

13. Roy, the owner of Standard Business Company (SBC), sells SBC to Tim for a note payable to Roy for $100,000. Tim does not pay
Gelneren [198K]

At a farmer’s market, a basket of strawberries costs $20 and a basket of peaches costs $18. On Saturday, 23 baskets were sold
nlexa [21]

Based on the calculation done, there are 15 baskets of peaches.

x + y = 23 ..... i

20x + 18y = 430 ...... ii

From equation i, x = 23 - y ..... iii

Put equation iii into ii

20x + 18y = 430

20(23 - y) + 18y = 430

460 - 20y + 18y = 430

2y = 30

y = 30/2 = 15

x + y = 23.

x + 15 = 23

x = 23 - 15 = 8

Material and Labor Variances The following actual and standard cost data for direct material and direct labor relate to the prod
Damm [24]

Answer:

Materials:

price     800U

quantity 510 F

Labor:

rate          1,860 F

efficiency 1,740 U

Explanation:

DIRECT MATERIALS VARIANCES

(standard\:cost-actual\:cost) \times actual \: quantity= DM \: price \: variance

std cost           $5.10

actual cost  $5.30

quantity          4,000

(5.1 - 5.3) \times 4,000 = DM \: price \: variance

price variance  $(800.00)

(standard\:quantity-actual\:quantity) \times standard \: cost = DM \: quantity \: variance

std quantity 4000.00

actual quantity 3900.00

std cost  $5.10

(4,000 - 3,900) \times 5.1 = DM \: quantity \: variance

quantity variance  $510.00

DIRECT LABOR VARIANCES

(standard\:rate-actual\:rate) \times actual \: hours = DL \: rate \: variance

std rate  $8.70

actual rate  $8.40

actual hours 6,200

(8.7 - 8.4) \times 6,200 = DL \: rate \: variance

rate variance  $1,860.00

(standard\:hours-actual\:hours) \times standard \: rate = DL \: efficiency \: variance

std  hours 6000.00

actual hours 6200.00

std rate  $8.70

(6,000 - 6,200) \times 8.70 = DL \: efficiency \: variance

efficiency variance  $(1,740.00)

Oliga [24]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

National Savings is divided into two parts, private savings and public savings.

Private Savings = GDP - Taxes + Transfer payments - Consumption Spending

                         = Y - T + TR - C

                         = 12 - 3 + 2 - 9

                          = $ 2 trillion

Public Savings  = Taxes - Government Spending - Transfer payments

                           = 3 - 0 - 2

                           = $1 trillion

∴ Option (C) is correct.  

Private saving = ​$2 trillion and public saving = ​$1 trillion.
