The initial margin limit is fixed by the Federal Reserve System.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Roper Spring Water should not buy the machine, since it produces a negative net present.

Explanation:

Summary of Cash Flows on the Machine are as follows :

Year 0 = ($230,000)

Year 1  = $55,000

Year 2 = $65,000

Year 3 = $75,000

Year 4 = $75,000

Interest rate = 7%

Using the CFj Function of the Financial calculator this will be computed as :

($230,000)  CF j 0

$55,000      CF j 1

$65,000      CF j 2

$75,000      CF j 3

$75,000      CF j 4

i/yr  = 7%

Therefore Net Present Value is - $3,385.13

Since this is a negative Net Present Value, Roper Spring Water should not buy the machine.

On june 30, 20x1, after paying the semiannual interest due and recording amortization of bond discount, hake redeemed its 15-yea
Leokris [45]

Amount of interest expense on 30th June 20X1= Carrying Amount of Bond*Effective Interest Rate (For 6 Months)

=$940000*5/100

=$47000

Contractual Interest of the bond=Face Value*Contractual Interest

=1000000*4/100

=$40000

Thus, Carrying Amount of Bond=Carrying Amount|+Interest Expense-Interest Paid

Carrying Amount as on 30th June=940000+47000-40000

Carrying amount as on 30th June=$947000

Amount Paid to Redeem Bonds =$1020000

Gain/(Loss) on Redemtion of Bonds=Face Value-Amount Paid to Redeem Bonds

Loss on Bonds=-$73000
