Answer:
The bond has a 2 percent coupon and a face value at issuance of $1000 which is the same with the Treasury inflation-protected bond. However, the reference Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services has increased from 202.34 to 203.18. From this deduction, what I know for certain about this bond is that the interest payment have increased and the coupon rate is still 2 percent.
Answer:
The price of the bond will be $879
Explanation:
Price of the bond is the present value of all cash flows of the bond. Price of the bond is calculated by following formula:
According to given data
Coupon payment = C = $1,000 x 6.2 = $62 annually = $31 semiannually
Number of periods = n = 2 x 8 years = 16 periods
Current Yield = r = 8.3% / 2 = 4.15% semiannually
Price of the Bond = $31 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 4.15% )^-16 ) / 4.15% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 4.15% )^16 ]
Price of the Bond = $31 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.0415)^-16 ) / 0.0415 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 0.0415 )^16 ]
Price of the Bond = $31 x [ ( 1 - ( 1.0415)^-16 ) / 0.0415 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.0415 )^16 ]
Price of the Bond = $521.74 + $357.26 = $879
Answer:
c) 48,000
Explanation:
<em>Equivalent Units</em>
To apportion cost between work in progress and completed units in a particular period, we use equivalent units. Equivalents units are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion cost between completed units and work in progress
<em>Equivalent Units = Degree of Completion × Units of products</em>
<em />
<em>Item units workings E.U</em>
Finished products 45,000 100% × 45,000 = 45,000
Closing WIP 5000 3/5 × 5000 = 3,000
Total equivalent unit 48,000
Equivalent unit for the conversion cost= 45000 +3000= 48,000
Answer:
Option A is the cheapest.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The engineering department estimates costs of $450,000 for the first year. It is estimated that if process and plant alterations are made, the waste treatment cost will decline $43,000 each year. As an alternative, a specialized firm, Hydro-Clean, has offered a contract to process the waste liquids for 15 years for $225,000 per year.
We need to use the following formula and chose the smallest net present value:
NPV= Io +∑ [Cf/(1+i)^n]
Option A:
Io= 407,000
Year cost= 43,000
NPV= 734,061
Option B:
Yearly cost= 225,000
NPV= 1,936,368
