bija089 [108]

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

Topic : Payroll Please answer as soon as possible.

sashaice [31]

Answer:

1. Vera = $400

2. Colin = $780

3. Messy = $54

4. Goyoh = $5,600

Explanation:

Requirement 1 & 2

1. Vera Dunhill's gross salary - 

Hourly income = $10

As she has worked 40 hours for the current week, the gross salary is as follows -

Weekly Income (Gross Salary) = Number of hours worked × Hourly Income

Weekly Income (Gross Salary) = 40 hours × $10 = $400.

2. Colin George's Gross Salary -

Hourly Income = $15

Overtime hourly rate = $15 × 1.5 (for first 4 additional hours) = $22.5

Overtime hourly rate = $15 × 2 (for further additional hours after 4 additional hours) = $30.

As Colin has worked for 47 hours, his gross salary is =

($15 × 40 hours) + ($22.5 × 4 hours) + ($30 × 3 hours)

= $780

Requirement 3 & 4

3. Messy's gross salary -

Peeling guavas at $2 per kilogram. As the Messy has peeled 27 kilogram guavas, his gross salary = $2 × 27 kilogram = $54

4. Goyoh's gross salary -

Basic Salary = $800

Commission = 4% of sales

Current year's sales = $120,000

It means, he will receive the basic salary and commission on sales as a gross salary.

Therefore, Gross Salary = $800 + ($120,000 × 4%)

Gross Salary = $800 + $4,800

Gross Salary = $5,600

For the job purpose, he will receive the basic salary and for the performance purpose, he will receive the commission as well.
