Answer:

Price of bond=$691.034

Explanation:

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).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

Let us assume the bond had a per value of 1000 and also redeemable at par

The value of the bond  can be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

<em>Calculate the PV of interest payments</em>

semi Annual interest payment

= 8.5% × 1000 × 1/2=    42.5

PV of interest payment

= 42.5  × (1-(1.0629)^(-25×)/0.0629)

=643.6780

Step 2

PV of redemption Value

PV = 1000 × (1-(1.0629)^(-25×2)  = 47.35

Step 3

Price of bond

=643.678 + 47.356

=$691.034

Price of bond=$691.034

Answer:

<em><u>Advantages</u></em>

<em><u>Helps in Scheduling </u></em><em><u>:</u></em><em><u> </u></em>

One of the greatest benefits of forecasting is that it helps the manager to prepare for the organization's future. Currently, planning and forecasting go hand in hand. We will not prepare for it without an understanding of what the future holds for the business. Forecasting, therefore, plays a very significant role in planning.

<em><u>2) Changes to the Climate</u></em> :

Prognostics should be able to point out the potential environmental changes when performed correctly. This implies that it will allow the organization to benefit from such environmental changes. It can develop and grow its business if the changes are beneficial to the company. And it may intend and prepare to defend itself in adverse circumstances.

<em><u>3) Weak Spots </u></em><em><u>Detection</u></em><em><u>:</u></em>

Another benefit of forecasting is that it can help the manager find any weak points that the company may have or overlooked areas. When attention has been drawn to these areas, successful controls and preparation strategies to fix them can be put into practice by the manager.

<em><u>Disadvantages</u></em><em><u>:</u></em>

<em><u>1</u></em><em><u>) Factors Time and Cost </u></em>

There is usually a lot of data and knowledge needed to make structured forecasts. And, there is a lot of time and money involved in the processing and tabulation of such results. Another aspect is also the translation of qualitative data into quantitative data. One must be cautious that the forecasting time, resources, and effort expended must not overshadow the real benefits of such forecasts.

2) <em><u>Based on Forecasts </u></em>

Assumptions, approximations, natural conditions, etc are the basis of every forecasting system. This renders those predictions inaccurate. So, the inherent weaknesses of forecasting must always be kept in mind and everyone has to be careful about being over-reliant on them.

3) <em><u>Just Estimates </u></em>

The future will be unpredictable at all times. Even if the best methods of forecasting are used and every factor possible is accounted for a prediction is still just an estimation. With 100 percent effectiveness, one can never predict future events. So even the best-laid plans can be nothing at all. This will still be one of forecasting's greatest constraints.

Hope it helps.

Ralph buys a perpetuity due paying 500 annually. He deposits the payments into a savings account earning interest at an effectiv
Leto [7]

Answer:

X = 1523

Explanation

Perpetuity due = (C/r) + C. Where Annual payment C =500, Annual effective interest rate = 10%

Perpetuity due = (500/10%) + 500 = 5500

Value of perpetuity due will remain same after 10 years

Money in saving account can be calculated with FV of an Annuity due formula

FV = C*(1+r) *{(1+r) ^n−1} / r

Where n = 10 years

FV = 500*(1+10%) * {(1+10%)^10 - 1} / 10%

FV = 500*1.10 * [1.10^10 - 1 / 0.10}

FV = 550 * 1.5937424601/0.10

FV = 550 * 15.937424601

FV = 8765.58353055

FV = 8766

Total proceeds = 5500 + 8766 = 14266

Now this proceed is the present value for annual payment of X calculation  . Formula of the present value (PV) of annuity due: PV = X * [1- (1+r) ^-n / r] * (1+r) : Where  PV = 14266, Annuity payment X = ?, Interest rate r = 10%, Period of annuity = 20 years.

1.10^-20

PV = X * [1- (1+r)^-n / r] * (1+r)

14266 = X * (1 - (1+10%)^-20 / 10%) * (1+10%)

14266 = X * [1 - 0.14864362802/0.10]*1.10

14266 = X * [8.5135637198*1.10]

14266 = X * 9.3649

X = 14266 / 9.3649

X = 1523.347820051469

X = 1523

puteri [66]

Answer:

Simple rate of return = 6.25%

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Net operating income = saving - depreciation on machine

Investment =  cost price - scrap value

So, we can calculate the simple rate of return by using following formula:

Simple rate of return = Net operating income ÷ investment

By putting the value, we get

= ($138,000 - $89,200) ÷ ($802,800 - $22,200)

= 0.0625

= 6.25%

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: If i am the general manager of the organization i will try to make a survey about customer relation in other competitive organization before i can conclude whether it is wise to cut down cost through removing giving out free gifts to customers like the free pop corn, coffee etc. Customers will choose other organizations where they can get the same quality service and other benefits especially in a perfectly competitive market. Rather i will suggest more profit can be made by slightly increasing the cost of services rendered to customers from which the cost of the freebies can be regained.

Explanation:Customer's satisfaction and profit maximization are the two main objectives of a firm. It is only when an organization is able to maintain good customer relationship with their customers that profit can be maximized regardless of how efficient their other services are.
