I believe the answer is: D. expanding quickly

Small businesses make a hasty decision to expand their operation by obtaining loan to buy new assets that help them fund their increasing operation.

When they do this, there is a really high risk that the additional income that they get from increasing the operation cannot cover the amount of debt they had to pay along with its additional interest, which would most likely force them into bankruptcy.

One of the elements of the Fraud Triangle focuses on how easy or hard it is for the internal control system to prevent any fraud

olga55 [171]

Answer: Opportunity

Explanation:

1. Opportunity - Given the fact that employees are granted access to very important documents, this might provide them the opportunity to commit theft. Employees who occupy top positions have access to classified information of the company which when manipulated can result to disastrous consequences. It now be holds on the employers of labour or the internal control system, to limit access to such information so as to make it hard for such fraud to be committed.

The procedures used by auditors to provide evidence are in two phases namely; the planning phase and execution phase.

1. The procedure for the planning phase is - Designing Appropriate Procedures : The evidence in this case could be a red flag noticed in the account records. The person who tried to commit the fraud could change figures in places that may not be noticeable.

2. The procedure for the execution phase involves - Implementing Appropriate Procedures : The evidence could be seen as an error. This error most likely results in wasteful spending.

A 30-year maturity bond has a 6.7% coupon rate, paid annually. It sells today for $881.17. A 20-year maturity bond has a 6.2% co

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Rate of return

30 year bond = 42%

20 year bond = 45%

Explanation:

First of all find current yield on 30 year maturity bond

We will use PV of annuity formula to calculate current YTM

Coupon Payment = 6.7% x 1000 = $67

$881.17 =( $67( 1- ( 1 + r )^-30 ) / r ) + ( 1000 / ( 1 + r )^30 )

r = 0.0773 = 7.73%

Current YTM is 7.73%

Now calculate the current yield for 20 years maturity bond

Coupon Payment = 6.2% x 1000 = $62

893.1 = ( ( $62 x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-20 ) / r ) + ( 1000 / ( 1 + r )^20 )

r = 0.0723 = 7.23%

As given

5 years from now the YTM on 30 Year bond will be 7.70% and on 20 Year bond will be 7.20%.

Now calculate

Price of the 30 year bond Bond after 5 year at YTM of 7.7%

Price of the Bond = ( $67 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.077 )^-(30-5) ) / 0.077 )+( 1000 / ( 1 + 0.077 )^(30-5) ) = $890.46

Price of the 20 year bond Bond after 5 year at YTM of 7.2%

Price of the Bond = ((6.7%*1000)*(1-(1+0.072)^-15)/0.072)+(1000/(1+0.072)^15)

( $62 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.072 )^-(20-5) ) / 0.072 )+( 1000 / ( 1 + 0.072 )^(20-5) ) = $910.06

Increase in price of 30 year bond = $890.46 - $881.17 = $9.29

Increase in price of 30 year bond = $910.06 - $893.1 = $16.96

Future value of Coupon payment for 5 years

30 year bond = 67 x ( 1.072^5 -1 ) / 0.072 = $386.84

20 year bond = 62 x ( 1.072^5 -1 ) / 0.072 = $357.97

Total return = FV of Coupon payment + Price increase

30 year bond = $386.84 + $9.29 = $396.13

20 year bond = $357.97 + $16.96 = $374.93

Rate of return =

30 year bond = $396.13 / $881.17 = 0.45 = 45%

20 year bond = $374.93 / $893.1 = 0.42 = 42%
