Answer:
$5.97
Explanation:
In order to determine the capital gain of the bond in a year's time,it is first first of all important to calculate the yield to maturity on the bond which is arrived at by applying the rate formula in excel as follows:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of coupon interest the bond would pay over its entire life of 15 years which is 15
pmt is the annual interest,7.9%*$1000=$79
pv is the current market price of the bond which is $790
fv is the value of $1000
=rate(15,79,-790,1000)=10.79%
Afterwards,the price of the bond in one year' time can then be calculated:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
The variables in the formula are as above except for nper which would reduce by 1 in a year's time
=-pv(10.79%,14,79,1000)
pv=$ 795.97
Hence the capital gain=price now-price one year ago/price one year ago
price now is $795.97
price one year ago was $790
Capital gain=$795.97-$790=$5.97
Capital gain %= ($795.97-$790)/$790=0.76%
Answer:
A. A only
Explanation:
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) does not allow property, plant, and equipment to be written up or revalued. If the fair value of PP&E falls below the book value and the amount is material then a company must write down the asset to fair value.
Since under US GAAP, once PPE is written, it can not be reversed. as Company B is indicated to have reversed the write down while company A did not. It therefore means that Company A only is reporting under US GAAP.
Answer:
One important financial reporting instrument for measuring and assessing an organisations liquidity risk is the Cash Flows statement. It speaks to the availability of cash in the short term, and or assets that can be readily converted to cash.
In other words, when a business has immediate financial obligations, cash refers to those resources that can be used to satisfy them.
An understanding of cash flows is crucial to business success because it:
- provides a clear picture of an organisations cash status or liquidity;
- helps business owners plan for how much cash expected in the future and when it is likely to come;
- when organisations want to benchmark their performance against one another, it becomes very handy and useful. Banks, for instance, measure the ability of a business to meet it's liquidity requirements as a measure of eligibility to receive additional finance.
One way companies can maintain liquidity during this pandemic is to control overhead expenses. Necessity is the mother of invention. Companies can have their team brainstorm on creative ways to cut down on operational, administrative and production costs. Some costs which can be considered for downward revision are rent, labor costs (such as business performance incentives), professional fees, marketing costs, advertising costs, public relations etc.

I am pretty sure it's to decide if the applicant is creditworthy. ( Makes most sense. Did research too.) :)
