What is the discount yield, bond equivalent yield, and effective annual return on a $2 million commercial paper issue that curre

ntly sells at 98.25 percent of its face value and is 128 days from maturity? (Use 360 days for discount yield and 365 days in a year for bond equivalent yield and effective annual return. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 3 decimal places. (e.g., 32.161))

Answer:

1. Discount yield = 4.92%

2. Dividend yield = 5.07%

3. Effective annual return = 5.02%

Explanation:

The computation of discount yield, bond equivalent yield, and effective annual return is shown below:-

Discount yield

Commercial paper                       $2,000,000

Current selling price                    $1,965,000

($2,000,000 × 98.25%)

Days to maturity                           128

Discount yield ( total days in a year)360

Dividend yield                                   4.92%

($2,000,000 - $1,965,000 ) ÷ $2,000,000 × (360 ÷ 128)

= $35,000 ÷ $2,000,000 × (2.8125)

= 0.0175 × 2.8125

= 0.04921

= 4.92%

Bond equivalent yield

Commercial paper                       $2,000,000

Current selling price                    $1,965,000

($2,000,000 × 98.25%)

Days to maturity                           128

Discount yield ( total days in a year)360

Bond equivalent yield                      5.07%

= ($2,000,000 - $1,965,000 ) ÷ $1,965,000 × (365 ÷ 128)

= $35,000 ÷ $1,965,000 × 2.8515625

= 0.017811705  × 2.8515625

= 0.05079119

= 5.07%

3. Effective annual return

Bond equivalent yield               5.07%

Effective annual return              5.02%

= (1 + 5.07% ÷ 365)^365 -1

= 5.02%

Ms. Jones wants to make 14​% nominal interest compounded quarterly on a bond investment. She has an opportunity to purchase a 12
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

IF mrs Jones wants to make 14% on the bond this is her required return and what the ytm of the bond should be to make her want to buy the bond. Because the bond pays a coupon of 12% she will want to pay less than the face value of the bond, so that the overall return can be 14%. Whenever the coupon rate of the bond is less than the required return or ytm, the bond is sold at a discount. In order to find at what price should she buy the bond we will need a financial calculator and input the following

FV= 10,000

YTM= 3.5 ( We divide 14 by 4 to find the ytm because the bond has quarterly compounded payments)

PMT= 300 ( We find out the 12% of 10,000 and divide it by 4 because the bond has quarterly payments)

N= 48 (12 years into 4 because there will be a total of 48 quarters and 48 payments)

Put these values in a financial calculator and compute the PV

PV= 8,845

The present value of the bond is 8,845 if the required return is 14% which means she should be willing to pay $8,845 for the bond today.

Pesto Company possesses 80 percent of Salerno Company’s outstanding voting stock. Pesto uses the initial value method to account
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The retainesd earnings figure will increase by 464,400 dollars

Explanation:

<em><u>Parent Company premium: </u></em>

Premium: 750,000 / 20 years = 37,500 depreciation per year

unamortized portion at Dec 31th 2013:

amortized: 750,000 - 37,500 x 4 years = 150,000

unarmortized: 750,000 - 150,000 = 600,000

We must reverse 40% of the premium as is within the same company:

600,000 x 40% = 240,000

<u><em>Subsidiary Discount:</em></u>

16,500,000 X 40% = 6,600,000

Purchase at 96.6

Discount of 3.4 = 6,600,000 x 3.4% = 224,400

We must reverse this as is part of the same company.

In total retained earnings will increase by

240,000 + 224,400 =  464,400 dollars

Furnco manufactures desks and chairs. Each desk uses 4 units of wood, and each chair uses 3 units of wood. A desk contributes $4
marshall27 [118]

<u>Explanation</u>:

This is an example of a linear programming problem.

THE CONSTRAINTS

Let d, c represents number of desk and chair.

Marketing restrictions

c ≥ 2d; which can be written as

2d - c ≤0

Wood restriction

4d + 3c ≤ 20

OBJECTIVE FUCTION (MAX)

= 40d + 25c

Where d ≥ 0, c ≥ 0

With this details you can then find the solutions either graphically or using  any other linear programming solution methods.

Freeman​ Motors, a motorcycle​ manufacturer, had the following contingencies. Determine the appropriate accounting treatment for
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

a. Freeman estimates that it is reasonably possible but not likely that it will lose a current lawsuit.​ Freeman's attorneys estimate the potential loss will be​ $4,500,000.

  • Describe the situation in a note to the financial statements.

Since the event is possible but not likely, it should be disclosed in the footnotes of the financial statements.

b. Freeman received notice that it was being sued. Freeman considers this lawsuit to be frivolous.

  • Do not disclose.

Since this is a frivolous lawsuit, there is no need to disclose it.

c. Freeman is currently the defendant in a lawsuit. Freeman believes it is likely that it will lose the lawsuit and estimates the damages to be paid will be​ $75,000.

  • Record an expense and a liability based on estimated amounts.

Since the negative outcome is probable and you were able to quantify your losses, you must record the expense for $75,000 and include the amount as a current liability.

Campbell, a single taxpayer, earns $400,000 in taxable income and $2,000 in interest from an investment in State of New York bon
Artist 52 [7]

Answer: Campbell will owe $115,858.25 in federal income tax this year computed as follows:

$115,858.25= $45,353.75+ 33% x ($400,000 - $186,350)).

Campbell's average tax rate is 28.96 percent.

Average Tax Rate = TotalTax / TaxableIncome = $115,858.25 / $400,000 = 28.96

Campbell's effective tax rate is 28.82 percent.

Effective tax rate = TotalTax / TotalIncome = $115,858.25 / ($400,000 + $2000) = 28.82

Campbell is currently in the 33 percent tax rate bracket. Her marginal tax rate on deductions up to $213,650 will be 33 percent. However, her marginal tax rate on the next $5,100 of income will be 33%, and income earned over $405,100 will be 35 percent. Income earned in excess of $406,750 will be taxed at 39.6%.
