What does the consumer price index measure? B. the change in prices of specific goods and services over time. The consumer price index is also know as the CPI when reffering to this calculation. The CPI measures the weighted items of specific consumer goods and services by averaging them overtime. The CPI allows for comparison of the same products that consumers use on a daily basis and see how much they are using each year. This lets us know how the economy is doing as it relates to inflation. Inflation is the increase in prices and decline of the purchasing value of money in an economy.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

The bonds were issued at $220,879,628.13

This is lower than the face value to compensate for the lower coupon payment.

cash               220,879,628.13   debit

discount on BP  39,120,371.87   debit

   bonds payable      260,000,000 credit

--to record second interest payment--

Interest expense 13,539,156.67 debit

Discount on BP              539,156.67 credit

cash                   13,000,000.00 credit

--to record Dec 31st, 2025 payment--

Explanation:

To determinate the price we will solve for the present value of the coupon payment and maturity at the market rate of %12

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

Coupon payment:

260,000,000 x 10% x 1/2 =13,000,000.000

time 20 years x 2 payment per year 40

yield to maturity  12% / 2 = 6%

13000000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-40} }{0.06} = PV\\

PV $195,601,859.3298

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

Maturity   260,000,000.00

time   40.00

rate  0.06

\frac{260000000}{(1 + 0.06)^{40} } = PV  

PV   25,277,768.80

PV c $195,601,859.3298

PV m  $25,277,768.8042

Total $220,879,628.1340

For the journal entries, we will multiply this current market price of the bonds by the market rate (YTM) the difference between this and the actual cash obligation generate by the bond is the amortization of the discount.

<u>first interest payment </u>

$220,879,628.13 x 6% = 13,252,777.69

less actual cash outlay:  13,000,000

amortization                          252,777.69

<u>second interest payment</u>

($220,879,628.13- $252,777.69) x 6% = 13,267,944.35

less actual cash outlay:                      <u>     13,000,000.00</u>

amortization                                                   267,944.35

Starset, Inc., has a target debt-equity ratio of 1.15. Its WACC is 8.6 percent, and the tax rate is 21 percent.
aev [14]

Answer:

a. 4.94%

b. 11.48%

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the pretax cost of debt and cost of equity.

We proceed as follows;

a. From the question;

The debt equity ratio = 1.15

since Equity = 1 ; Then

Total debt + Total equity = 1 + 1.15 = 2.15

Mathematically ;

WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Pretax Cost of debt x Weight of debt x (1-Tax rate)

Where WACC = 8.6%

Cost of equity = 14%

Weight of equity = 1/(total debt + total equity) = 1/(1+1.15) = 1/2.15

Pretax cost of debt = ?

Weight of debt = debt equity ratio/total cost of debt = 1.15/2.15

Tax rate = 21% = 0.21

Substituting these values, we have;

8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)

8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)

Pretax cost debt = (8.6%-6.511628%)/(1.15/2.15 x (1-21%))

Pretax cost of debt = 4.94%

b. WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + After tax Cost of debt x Weight of debt

8.6% = Cost of equity x 1/2.15 + 6.1% x 1.15/2.15

Cost of equity = (8.6%-3.26279%)/(1/2.15)

Cost of equity = 11.48%
