Answer:

The answer is stated below:

Explanation:

If the SEC and the AICPA, worked altogether in order to share the information, they might have detected the fraud prior. The case states that the Madoff Securities does not required to submit the peer review program to AICPA as Friehling, had recorded that he did not perform or conduct any audits.

Recommendation

1. The policy execution for the exchange of the information among the two firms would be useful to detect the fraud.

2. The PCAOB should spend more resources an attending the hotline of whistle blowing through executing the policies which need certain complaints to be addressed effectively.

3. The firms or company should have done more in order to verify the financial statements assertions, which surrounds the investments. The PCAOB need to execute the policy that require the companies (such as Madoff Securities) to correctly answer the inquiries of the auditor.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Bond's A price will decrease by 27.09%

Bond's B price will decrease by 24.25%

Explanation:

Bond's A current price: should be 1,000, since he market price = coupon rate

Bond's B current price: using an excel spreadsheet we can calculate the net resent value: =NPV(2.5%,55... fifteen times,1055) = $1,391.65

If the market rate increases to 5%

Bond's A current price: using an excel spreadsheet we can calculate the net resent value: =NPV(5%,25... fifteen times,1025) = $729.06

Bond's B current price: using an excel spreadsheet we can calculate the net resent value: =NPV(5%,55... fifteen times,1055) = $1,054.19

Bond's A price will decrease by: [($729.06 - $1,000) / $1,000] x 100 = -27.09%

Bond's B price will decrease by: [($1,054.19 - $1,391.65) / $1,391.65] x 100 = -24.25%

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Purchase value of the stock = $80

Number of years = 15

Times = 4

So, the return on owning this stock is

= Number of times^(1 ÷ number of years) - 1

= 4^(1÷15) - 1

= 4^0.0666666667  - 1

= 1.0968249797  - 1

= 0.0968249797

= 10% round off

All other things that are mentioned in the question is not relevant. Hence, ignored it

lesantik [10]

Answer:

Jorge and Anita

Their marginal tax rate on their income is 24%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Taxable income = $142,000

Interest from municipal bonds = $49,000

Additional taxable income = $104,500

Total taxable income:

Taxable income = $142,000

Additional taxable income = $104,500
