This is lower than the face value to compensate for the lower coupon payment.

cash 13,000,000.00 credit

--to record Dec 31st, 2025 payment--

Explanation:

To determinate the price we will solve for the present value of the coupon payment and maturity at the market rate of %12

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

Coupon payment:

260,000,000 x 10% x 1/2 =13,000,000.000

time 20 years x 2 payment per year 40

yield to maturity 12% / 2 = 6%

$13000000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-40} }{0.06} = PV\\$

PV $195,601,859.3298

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 260,000,000.00

time 40.00

rate 0.06

$\frac{260000000}{(1 + 0.06)^{40} } = PV$

PV 25,277,768.80

PV c $195,601,859.3298

PV m $25,277,768.8042

Total $220,879,628.1340

For the journal entries, we will multiply this current market price of the bonds by the market rate (YTM) the difference between this and the actual cash obligation generate by the bond is the amortization of the discount.

first interest payment

$220,879,628.13 x 6% = 13,252,777.69

less actual cash outlay: 13,000,000

amortization 252,777.69

second interest payment

($220,879,628.13- $252,777.69) x 6% = 13,267,944.35

less actual cash outlay: 13,000,000.00

The common stock of the P.U.T.T. Corporation has been trading in a narrow price range for the past month, and you are convinced

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

A) according to put call parity:

price of put option = call option - stock price + [future value / (1 + risk free rate)ⁿ]

put = $6.93 - $125 + [$140 / (1 + 5%)¹/⁴] = $6.93 - $125 +$138.30 = $20.23

B)

you have to purchase both a put and call option ⇒ straddle

the total cost of the investment = $6.93 + $20.23 = $27.16, this way you can make a profit if the stock price increases higher than $125 + $20.23 = $145.23 or decreases below than $125 - $20.23 = $104.77

A company's relevant range of production is 10,000 to 15,000 units. When it produces and sells 12,000 units, its unit costs are

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Total indirect manufacturing cost= $75,450

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

12,000 units:

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.50

Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 5.00

First, we need to calculate the total fixed manufacturing overhead:

Total fixed overhead= 5*12,000= $60,000

Now, for 10,300 units:

Total indirect manufacturing cost= 60,000 + 10,300*1.5

Total indirect manufacturing cost= $75,450
