Answer:

Option C $450,000 decrease

Explanation:

The reason is that the cost to buy the shares in the market is lower than $50 per share so buying the shares at $50 per share is not benefiting the directors at all. This means that the liability which was calculated using the black scholes model was standing at $1350,000 for 3 years and $450,000 for a single year will not be waived off because the directors didn't exercised the option and are taking money benefits which means under fair value method the net income will decrease by $450,000 because this is the amount paid to directors.

A positive thing is that it encourages development and innovation because the people choose what they want to do with their money and where they will invest. A drawback is that if the market goes out of control, things like cartels, monopolies, and trusts, can be established by rich people, or even worse, a recession might ensue.

A company issued 6%, 10-year bonds with a face amount of $90 million. The market yield for bonds of similar risk and maturity is
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The bonds sold at: $122,106,600 dollars

Explanation:

We will calculate the present value of the coupon payment and the maturirty at market rate of 7%

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

C         2.7(90 millions x 6% / 2 payment per year)

time 20  10 years and 2 payment per year

discounted at market rate: 7% divide by 2 payment per year:  0.035

2.7 \times \frac{1-(1+0.035)^{-20} }{0.035} = PV\\

PV 76.3551

Then present value of maturity:

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

Maturity   90.00

time            10 years

rate             0.07

\frac{90}{(1 + 0.07)^{10} } = PV  

PV   45.75

PV coupon  $76.3551

PV maturity  $45.7514

Total  $122.1066
