puteri [66]

Answer:

4.87%

Explanation:

In this question , we are asked to calculate the appropriate after-tax cost of new debt for the firm to use in capital budgeting analysis.

PMT = 1000*7% = 70 (indicates the amount of interest payment)

Nper = 10 (indicates the period over which interest payments are made)

PV = 966 (indicates the present value)

FV = 1000 (indicates the future/face value)

Rate = ? (indicates the cost of debt)

After Tax Cost of Debt = Rate(Nper,PMT,PV,FV)*(1-Tax Rate) = Rate(10,70,-966,1000)*(1-.35) = 4.87%

loris [4]

Answer:

1) the price of each bond:

PV of face value = $1,000 / 1.05⁸ = $676.84

market price per coupon = $935.37

2) journal entry to record issuance of the bonds:

January 1, 2021, bonds issued at a discount

Dr Cash 514,453.50

Dr Discount on bonds payable 35,546.50

Cr Bonds payable 550,000

Depreciation Methods Vorst Corporation's schedule of depreciable assets at December 31, 2016, was as follows: Asset Cost Accumul

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

c. $14,400

Explanation:

Double declining depreciation method can be described as an accelerated depreciation technique which charges depreciation expense faster than the straight-line depreciation method, because double declining method obtains its depreciation rate by multiplying the rate of straight-line depreciation method by 2.

From the Vorst Corporation's schedule of appreciable assets at December 31, 2016, the following data are obtained for Asset A:

Cost = $100,000

Accumulated Depreciation = $64,000

Acquisition Date = 2015

Residual value = $20,000

Estimated useful life = 5 years

Therefore, we have:

Straight line method depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 0.20, or 20%

Double declining depreciation rate = Straight line method depreciation rate * 2 = 40%

Beginning book value in 2017 = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation = $100,000 - $64,000 = $36,000

Depreciation expense for 2017 = Beginning book value in 2017 * Double declining depreciation rate = $36,000 * 40% = $14,400.

Therefore, Vorst should record $14,400 as depreciation expenses in 2017 for Asset A.

Important End Note:

Under the double declining depreciation method, residual is adjusted for in the last year of the estimated useful life of the asset.

Based on the information for Asset A, its last useful year is 2019 and that is why the residual value is not adjusted for in 2017 above.
