Answer:
a. How much will Ruby’s IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires?
the future value of Ruby's IRA = $10,000 x 21.725 (FV factor, 8%, 40 periods) = $217,250
b. How much money will she have to accumulate in her company’s 401(k) plan over the next 40 years in order to reach her retirement income goal?
she needs to accumulate $875,000 - $217,250 = $657,750 during the next 40 years
the annual contribution = FV / FV annuity factor = $657,750 / 259.057 (FV annuity factor, 8%, 40 periods) = $2,539.02 per year
Answer:
$807,992
Explanation:
issue $902,000 with a 6% semiannual coupon and 10 year maturity. coupon payment = $27,060
if the annual market interest rate = 7.5%, the bonds should be sold at a discount:
issue price = present value of face value + present value of interest payments
- present value of face value = $902,000 / (1 + 3.75%)²⁰ = $431,961
- present value of annuity = $27,060 x {1 - [1 / (1 + 3.75%)²⁰]} / 3.75% = $376,031
issue price = $431,961 + $376,031 = $807,992
the journal entry should be:
Dr Cash 807,992
Dr Discount on bonds payable 94,008
Cr Bonds payable 902,000
