Answer:

(b) 1440

Explanation:

As the coupon rate of 8% is greater than the yield to maturity (YTM) of 6% annually, the bond is selling at a premium. Hence, the bond will be called at the earliest i.e. 15 years.

Coupon = Call Price * Semi-annual coupon rate = X * [0.08 / 2] = X * 0.04

Yield to call = 6% annually = 3% semi-annually

Time = 15 years * 2 = 30

We know that,

Current Price of bond = Coupon * [1 - (1 + YTC)-call date] / YTC + Call Price / (1 + YTC)call date

  • 1,722.25 = [X * 0.04] * [1 - (1 + 0.03)-30] / 0.03 + [X / (1 + 0.03)30]

  • 1,722.25 = [X * 0.04] * 19.60 + [X * 0.41]

  • 1,722.25 = X * [(0.04 * 19.60) + 0.41]

  • 1,722.25 = X * 1.194

  • X = 1,722.25 / 1.194
  • X=$ 1,442.42 \approx $ 1,440

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The answer is: C) $14,000

Explanation:

ABC Tax Planning Services paid six months of rent in advance, from January to July. It spends $7,000 per month on rent, so the six months prepaid rent would be $42,000. On April 30, 2018, ABC had already rented the offices for 4 months, so it had only two months left in its Prepaid Rent account, equivalent to $14,000 (2 x $7,000).

A consumer values a house at $525,000 and a producer values the same house at $485,000. If the transaction is completed at $510,
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

the options were missing:

  • a tax of $9,000
  • a tax of $14,000
  • a tax of $15,000
  • a tax of $18,000

the answer is a tax of $18,000

Explanation:

in this case, the seller surplus = $510,000 - $485,000 = $25,000, while consumer surplus = $525,000 - $510,000 = $15,000

Taxes decrease consumer surplus, but consumers are still willing to purchase goods if the price of the goods plus the taxes is equal or less to the maximum price that they are willing to pay. But $510,000 + $18,000 = $528,000 which is higher than $525,000
