Answer:

A. $3

B. $257.142

C. $2.25

Explanation:

A. In 1925, the CPI was 18 and the price of a movie ticket was $0.30.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= $\frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI$

= $\frac{0.3}{18}\ \times\ 180$

= $3

B. In 1930, the CPI was 14 and a cook earned $20 a week.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= $\frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI$

= $\frac{20}{14}\ \times\ 180$

= $257.142

C. In 1940, the CPI was 16 and a gallon of gas cost $0.20.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= $\frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI$

= $\frac{0.2}{16}\ \times\ 180$

= $2.25

Debit Cash $570,443

Debit Bonds Discount $69,557

Credit Bonds Payable $640,000

To record the issuance of the bonds at a discount.

2. Total bond interest expense to be recognized over the bonds' life:

= $287,160

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

January 1, 2019

Face value of bonds issued = $640,000

Price of bonds = $570,443

Bonds discount = $69,557 ($640,000 - $570,443)

Coupon interest rate = 8.5%

Market interest rate = 12%

Maturity period = 4 years

Interest payment = semiannual on June 30 and December 31

With straight-line amortization of bonds discount, the semiannual amortization will be = $8,695

Semi-annual interest payment = $27,200 ($640,000 * 4.25%)

Semi-annual interest expense = $35,895 ($27,200 + $8,695)

Annual interest expense = $71,790

1. Transaction Analysis

January 1:

Cash $570,443 Bonds Discount $69,557 Bonds Payable $640,000

2. Total bond interest expense to be recognized over the bonds' life:

= $287,160 ($71,790 * 4) or ($35,895 * 8)

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

$797,837

Explanation:

the first withdrawal is $50,000

the second is $51,500

and so on...

the formula that used to solve the interest rate earned by the annuity is:

$50,000 x {[(1 + i)³⁰ - (1 + 3%)³⁰] / [(1 + i)³⁰ x (i - 3%)]} x (1 + i) = $5,000 x {[(1 + i)³⁰ - (1 + 3%)³⁰] / (i - 3%)}

we start to simplify the equation by cancelling {[(1 + i)³⁰ - (1 + 3%)³⁰] / (i - 3%)}

[$50,000 x (1 + i)] / (1 + i)³⁰ = $5,000

now we cancel $5,000 on each side:

[10 x (1 + i)] / (1 + i)³⁰ = 1

now lets take away (1 + i):

10 / (1 + i)²⁹ = 1

things get a little bit more simple now:

10 = (1 + i)²⁹

²⁹√10 = ²⁹√(1 + i)²⁹

1.082636734 = 1 + i

i = 1.082636734 - 1 = 0.082636734 = 8.2636734%

now we replace i in any equation:

= $50,000 x {[(1 + 0.082636734)³⁰ - 1.03³⁰] / [(1 + 0.082636734)³⁰ x (0.082636734 - 0.03)]} x (1 + 0.082636734)

= $50,000 x {[10.82636738 - 2.427262471] / [10.82636738 x 0.052636734]} x (1 + 0.082636734)

= $50,000 x {8.399104909 / 0.56986462} x (1.082636734)

= $50,000 x 14.73877236 x 1.082636734

= $797,837
