Answer:

The most suitable answer is Stocks may help you protect your money from inflation while bonds may be more susceptible to losing their value over time due to inflation.

Explanation:

Now remember, this is not "guaranteed" as stocks come with higher risks comparing to bonds, yet in US share market, stocks have performed well than the bonds overall. This is because stock prices fluctuate and if the company invested in is performing well, the share prices can sky rocket over a long period while in bonds you don't see this often as they are issued for a specific time and represents the debt capital.

Answer:

Recognize the assessments as assessments receivable and revenue.

Explanation:

Practically, this will result in a receivable in the reserve fund, if the amounts are not received when due.

This could be seen when an/a corporation may decide on the amount of an assessment years before the cash is been used.

But cannot really obtain the revenue at the time of the decision, since the corporation can change its decision up until the day the amount is due. Also there are no specific parties being assessed, until the owner on record is known on the day the assessment is due, also the assessment should be recognized as revenue of the reserve fund when due.

yes

Explanation:

Based on this scenario, it can be said that yes the attorney's actions are proper because the referral fee was reasonable.

You bought one of Great White Shark Repellant Co.’s 5.8 percent coupon bonds one year ago for $1,030. These bonds make annual pa

defon

Answer:

total rate of return on the Bond = 9.40%

Explanation:

given data

coupon bonds = 5.8%

bonds price = $1,030

maturity time = 14 year

required return on the bonds = 5.1 percent

solution

we know here market price of the bond is Present Value of Coupon Payments + Present face Value

so that face Valueof bond = $1,000

and here annual Coupon Amount will be

annual coupon amount = $1000 × 5.80%

annual coupon amount = $58

and here Market Price of the Bond will be

Market Price of Bond = Present Value of Coupon Payments + Present face Value ......................1

here Present Value of Coupon Payments at PVIFA 5.10% and 14 Years

Present Value Annuity Inflow Factor (PVIFA) = $\frac{1-(1/(1+r)^t}{r}$ ....2

Present Value Annuity Inflow Factor = $\frac{1-(1/(1+0.0510)^14}{0.0510}$

Present Value Annuity Inflow Factor = 9.83566

and

Present Value Inflow Factor (PVIF) 5.10%, 14 Years= $\frac{1}{(1+r)^t}$ ...........3

Present Value Inflow Factor (PVIF) = $\frac{1}{(1+0.0510)^14}$

Present Value Inflow Factor = 0.49838

Market Price of Bond = ( $58 × 9.83566 ) + ( $1,000 × 0.49838 )

Market Price of Bond = $1,068.85

so total rate of return on the Bond will be

total rate of return on the Bond = [ { Annual Coupon Amount + ( Change in Bond Price ) } ÷ Current Price] ...............4

total rate of return on the Bond = $\frac{58+(1068.85-1030)}{1030}$

total rate of return on the Bond = 9.40%
