Answer:

Coupon rate is 5.17%

Explanation:

Yield to maturity is the annual rate of return that an investor receives if a bond bond is held until the maturity.

Assuming Face value of the bond is $1,000

Face value = F = $1,000

Selling price = P = $948

Number of payment = n = 9 years

Bond Yield = 5.9%

The coupon rate can be calculated using following formula

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

5.9% = [ C + ( $1,000 - $948 ) / 9 ] / [ ( $1,000 + $948 ) / 2 ]

5.9% = [ C + $5.78 ] / $974

5.9% x $974 = C + $5.78

$57.466 = C + $5.78

C = $57.466 - $5.78 = $51.686

Coupon rate = $51.686 / $1,000 = 0.051686 = 5.17%

Answer:

Salaries and wages payable...................Dr                    $20,000

                                      Salaries and wages expense                  $20,000

Explanation:

As per accrual system, an expense is incurred when it is accrued irrespective of when it is paid. So, $20,000 was accrued in December 31, salary and wages expenses would have been debited then amounting to $20,000.

In order to rectify the mistake of double counting, the entry passed by the accountant would be reversed to nullify the effect.

Adjusting Journal entry:

Particulars                                            Debit              Credit

Salaries and wages payable               $20,000

                 Salaries and wages expense                    $20,000

(Being double counting of salaries and

Would DECREASE reason been that C90B have more contribution margin ratio of 70% compare to Y45E which had contribution margin ratio of 60%

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

$500 million

Explanation:

The solution of the money supply and its effect is here below:-

Decrease in money supply = $50 million ÷ reserve ratio

= $50 million ÷ 10%

= $500 million

If $50 million were used to repay loans, that will have raised money supply. Thus, buying $50 million in government securities from the fed reduces the supply of capital.

Answer:

The correct answer is Unemployed

Explanation:

Unemployment, in the labor market, refers to the situation of the citizen who lacks employment and, therefore, salary. By extension, it is the part of the population of age, conditions and willingness to work - active population - that lacks a job.1 To refer to the number of unemployed people in the population, the unemployment rate by country or other is used territory. The situation contrary to unemployment is full employment.

In addition to the active population, which includes both those who are working and the whole of the unemployed or unemployed in a country, societies have an inactive population composed of those members of the population who are not willing to work , whether by studies, age, illness or any other legally established cause.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The answer is B. Ethan has more experience than Karen.

Explanation:

Now, lets take each Answer option separately and see why only B is correct.

Option A is no longer legally accepted or ethical. Perhaps during the era of segregation back in 1960s' this option could have been acceptable. But today it is illegal and is considered as a violation of basic human rights.

Option C is not correct as well because although people with special needs and physical requirements are entitled to receive certain special treatments, paying them more solely based on their disability is not considered suitable nor ethical.

Option D is unacceptable. No one can assume that men have more stamina than women. There are competent, strong and qualified women who can do their jobs much better than men. So we cannot accept this as an answer.

Option E is incorrect as well. Although a person could be an immigrant, once that person has lawfully taken the citizenship of a country, that "immigrant" is considered as a "citizen" of that country (this is not applicable for illegal immigrants!).

However, we can take option B as the answer. This is because when comparing a new employee with a more experienced employee, we can't see any problem in paying the experienced employee more.
