Answer:
sunk cost.
Explanation:
Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered. Thus, because a sunk cost has been incurred by an individual or organization it can't be recovered and as such it is irrelevant in the decision-making process such as investments, projects etc.
Basically, sunk costs are referred to as fixed costs.
Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.
Hence, a cost incurred in the past that is not relevant to any current decision is classified as a sunk cost.
For example, ABC investors decide to acquire land and develop residential houses at a location X. This decision is informed on the fact that the government had recently enacted a policy that led to an increase in demand for residential properties in that location. 6 months into construction of the residential houses, the government reviews and rescinds the policy. This leads to a sharp decline in property values in location X. ABC investors had already incurred 10 million dollars in the project. The 10 million dollars is considered sunk cost.
Answer:
$7,500,000 in 8% bonds, 5 years to maturity, semiannual coupon ($300,000)
sold at premium for $7,740,000
the journal entry to record the issuance should be:
Dr Cash 7,740,000
Cr Bonds payable 7,500,000
Cr Bond premium 240,000
<u>Using the straight line amortization:</u>
amortization per coupon payment = $240,000 / 10 coupons = $24,000
Dr Interest expense 276,000
Dr Bond premium 24,000
Cr Cash 300,000
Answer:
22.92%
Explanation:
For computing the realized total rate of return, first we have to determine the total share price which is shown below:
Total share price = Sale price of share + dividend end of 2013 + dividend end of 2014 + dividend end of 2015
= $20 + $2.5 + $4 + $3
= $29.50
And, the purchase price is $24
So, the return would be
= Total share price - purchase price
= $29.50 - $24
= $5.50
Now the realized total rate of return would be
= Return ÷ Purchase price
= $5.50 ÷ $24
= 22.92%
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
Answer:
Advocates of the efficient market is of the belief that information that is made available publicly is usually reflected in security prices and thus adjustments in price to new information will occur swiftly. Hence, under the EMH, there are no guarantees on the prices of the stock market and thus no investment rules that can bring superior returns. In this light, investors would rather not deviate from the market index.
