Six years ago, James Corporation sold a $100 million bond issue to expand its facilities. Each debenture has a $1,000 par value,

an original maturity of 20 years (there are now 14 years left to maturity), and an annual coupon rate of 11.5% with semiannual payments. If you require a 14% return, what price would you pay today for a James bond?

Answer:

Price of Bonds=$848.286

Explanation:

<em>The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate </em>

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond for James Corporation  can be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

PV of interest payments

PV = A × (1+r)^(-n)/r

A- semiannual interest payment, n-number of periods, r- semi annul yield

A-semi- annul interest payment:

=11.5%× 1,000× 1/2 = 75

r-semi-Annual yield = 14%/2 = 7%  

n-Maturity period =1 4 × 2= 28

PV of interest payment:  

=57.5 × (1- (1+0.07)^(-28)/0.07)

= 697.88

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value

= 1,000 × (1.07)^(-28) = 150.40

Step 3

Price of bond

=697.88 + 150.40

=$848.286

g rporation's budgeted sales for February are $334,000. Webster pays sales representatives a commission of 6% of sales dollars.
UNO [17]

Answer:

$28,240

Explanation:

Total sales = $334,000

Variable cost:

Sales commissions = $334,000 × 6%

                                = $20,040

Total fixed costs = Sales manager's salary + Advertising expenses

                            = $5,300 + $2,900

                            = $8,200

Total selling expenses = Total variable cost + Total fixed cost

                                      = $20,040 + $8,200

                                      = $28,240

Therefore, the total selling expenses to be reported on the selling expense budget for the month of February is $28,240.

Using the data set below, what would be the forecast for period 5 using the exponential smoothing method? Assume the forecast fo
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The answer is C: 14300

Note: The actual answer is 14296, <em>and </em>the closest to that was option C.

Explanation:

Formula to calculate forecast using Exponential smoothing:

  •    F_{t} = F_{t-1} + \alpha ( A_{t-1} - F_{t-1} )

Where,

  • F_{t} = New Forecast
  • F_{t-1} = Previous period's forecast.
  • \alpha = Smoothing Constant
  • A_{t-1} = Previous period's Actual Demand.
  1. Calculating the forecast for period 5:

Data:

  • F_{5} = ?
  • F_{t-1} = 14000
  • \alpha = 0.4
  • A_{t-1} = 14750

Putting <em>values in the formula:</em>

F_{5} = 14000 + 0.4(14750-14000)

F_{5} = 14000 + 0.4 (740)

F_{5} = 14000 + 296

F_{5} = 14296

Hache Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. Data concerning the first processing departmen
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The cost of ending work in process inventory in the first processing department according to the company's cost system is closest to: d) $21,797

Explanation:

Calculation of Equivalent Units of Production

<u>Materials </u>

Units transferred to the next department (5,800 × 100%) = 5,800

Units in ending Work In process (1,850 × 50%)                  =    925

Total Equivalent Units of Production for Materials             = 6,725

<u>Conversion</u>

Units transferred to the next department (5,800 × 100%)    = 5,800

Units in ending Work In process (1,850 × 20%)                     =    370

Total Equivalent Units of Production for Conversion Costs =  6,170

Calculation of Cost per Equivalent units of Production

Materials

Cost per equivalent unit = Total Material Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units of Production for Materials

                                        = ($ 8,700 + $ 91,000) ÷ 6,725

                                        = $14.825

Cost per equivalent unit = Total Material Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units of Production for Materials

                                        = ($ 8,500 + $ 126,300) ÷ 6,170

                                        = $21.848

Calculation of cost of ending work in process inventory

Materials ( 925 ×  $14.825)             =  $13,713.12

Conversion Cost ( 370 × $21.848)  =  $8,083.76

Total                                                 =  $21,796.88

Thus,

The cost of ending work in process inventory in the first processing department according to the company's cost system is closest to: d) $21,797.
