Answer:

Opportunity costs

Explanation:

The potential benefits lost by taking a specific action when two or more alternative choices are available is known as opportunity costs.

Opportunity cost has to do with losing other alternatives by chosing to go with one alternative. Hence it is also called foregone alternative. It has to do with making a decision or choice to give up something in order to get something else which may be of more value.

A company wishes to raise $27 million by issuing 15-year semi-annual coupon bonds with face value of $1,000 and coupon rate of 6

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

We first need to find out the present value of each $1,000 bond and then we can figure out how many of these bonds we require to raise $27 million

The n of payments is 15*2 because semi annual payments for 15 years so our N will be 30

The YTM is 7.70/2 because of semi annual payments = 3.85

The Face value is of 1,000 so FV= 1,000

The payments our 1000*0.066=66 divided by 2 because semi annual payments so PMT= 33

We will put these values in a financial calculator to compute the PV of a $1000 bond.

PV= 903

So now we know that the company can get $903 for each $1,000 bond as the bonds present value is 903.

Now in order to find out how many bonds need to be issued to raise 27 million we will divide 27 million by 903, as 903 is the amount we can raise by issuing a single bond.

27,000,000/903=29,900.3 so 29,901

The company will have to issue 29,901 bonds of face value $1,000 to raise $27 million

3. If a balance sheet were prepared for Pala Medical Co. on June 30, 20Y1 the amount to be reported as cask is $166,436

Explanation:

1. The balance shown by the bank statement seldom agree with the balance shown by the cash book, bank reconciliation statement is usually drawn up to agree the balance shown by the bank statement with the balance shown by the cash book.

In this question:

a. Check outstanding of $19,427 are checks issued to creditors which where not presented for payment. generally known as unpresented checks.

b. The receipts of $12,300 recorded in Pala Medical Co. cash book was not credited by the bank, this will obviously cause a disagreement between the bank statement and the cash book at month end.

c. The amount of $26,500 recorded in the bank statement must be reported correctly the the cash book and the relevant ledger by debiting the cash book by the total receipt of $26,500 and crediting investment and with $25,000 and crediting the interest elements to interest income account.

d. The wrong recording of $400 instead of $4000 must be corrected by reversing the initial entry. this is done by debiting Cash book with $400 and crediting Creditor account - Skyline Supply Co. with $400 and recording the correct entry by debiting Creditor account - Skyline Supply Co. with $4000 and crediting cash book by $4000.

e. The check of $195 is recorded correctly already in the cash book, it is the bank to pass the necessary entry but it will only enter the company cash book.

f. Bank service charge should be recorded by debiting bank charges with $55 and crediting cash book with $55

$42,240

Explanation:

The computation of the balance of the Accumulated Depreciation account at the end of 2019 is as follows;

But before that the depreciation rate is

= 1 ÷ 5 × 2

= 40%

For the first year, the depreciation expense is

= $66,000 × 40%

= $26,400

Now for the 2019, the depreciation expense is

= ($66,000 - $26,400) × 40%

= $15,840

Now the accumulated depreciation is

= $26,400 + $15,840

= $42,240
