Answer:

Avoidable cost

Explanation:

An avoidable cost can be eliminated in a whole. Such a cost can be explained as an expense that would not happen if the specific activity is not done. These costs are relevant costs. A very good example of such a cost is labour cost. If there is a decision to stop a product line for example, all costs that have a relationship with this product line will also be stopped.

On December 31, 2021, Interlink Communications issued 6% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $119 million. The bonds mature

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Price of the bond is $104,236,860.

Explanation:

Given:

Coupon rate is 6% or 0.06

Face value = $119,000,000

Coupon payment each year = 0.06×119,000,000

= $7,140,000

Yield to maturity = 7% or 0.007

Maturity period = 30 years

Price of bond = Present value of face value + present value of coupon payment (annuity)

Price of bond = $119,000,000_{(PV\ 30,0.07)} + 7,140,000_{(PVA\ 30,0.07)}$

PV of $1 for 7%,30 periods = 0.1314

PVA of $1 for 7%,30 periods = 12.409

Substitute the values in above formula:

Price of bond = (119,000,000 × 0.1314) + (7,140,000 × 12.409)

= 15,636,600 + 88,600,260

= $104,236,860

There will be slight difference in final answer as present value table is used. Excel spreadsheet gives an accurate answer.

So, price of bond is $104,236,860

Cooperton Mining just announced it will cut its dividend from $4.01 to $2.57 per share and use the extra funds to expand. Prior

mina [271]

Answer:

$34.35

The price has fallen from $50.07 to $34.35 which means that Expansion will not be a good option.

Explanation:

Computation for the share price to expect after the announcement

Using this formula

Ke = [ D1 / P0 ] +g

Where,

D1 =$4.01

P0 = $50.07

g =3.4%

Let plug in the formula

Ke = [ D1 / P0 ] +g

Ke= [ $4.01 / $50.07] + 0.034

Ke= 0.0800+ 0.034

Ke= 0.1140

Second step is to find the Price after Expansion using this formula

P0 = D1 / [ Ke - g ]

Where,

D1=$2.57

Ke=0.1140

g=4.7%

Let plug in the formula

P0= $ 2.57 / [ 0.1140 - 0.047 ]

P0=$2.57/0.067

P0=$ 34.35

Based on this calculation, we can see that the price has fallen from $50.07 to $34.35 which means that Expansion will not be a good option.

Therefore the share price that you would expect after the announcement will be $34.35

In its first 10 years a mutual fund produced an average annual return of 20.4420.44%. Assume that money invested in this fund c

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

3.73 years or 4 years approx

Explanation:

The computation of the number of years taken for money invested for double is shown below:

As we know that

Amount = Principal × (1 + interest rate ÷ time period)^interest rate × time period

where,

We assume the principal be P

And, the amount is 2P

And, the other values would remain the same

So,

2P = P (1 + 0.2044 ÷ time period)^ 1 × time period

2 = (1.2044)^ time period

Now take the log both sides

ln2 = ln (1.2044)^time period

ln2 - time period ln (1.2044)

So,

time period = ln(2) ÷ ln (1.2044)

= 3.73 years or 4 years approx
