Answer:

Interest per six months =$64,750 .

Explanation:

B<em>onds are instruments used by companies, governments and other entries to borrow from the public. </em>

<em>They represent a contractual agreement where  the borrower commits to pay a percentage of the principal amount borrowed plus the principal amount to the lender or investor.</em>

The proportion of the amount borrowed which is paid as interest is called coupon. The interest payment is computed as the the coupon rate in percentage multiplied by the amount borrowed.

Interest payment = Coupon rate (%) × Nominal Value

 Annual interest payment    = 7%  × 1,850,000 =$129,500

Semi-annual interest payment = Annual interest payment/2

Semi-annual interest payment =129,500 /2 =64,750 .

Interest per six months =$64,750 .

Note we had to divide by 2 because they are two six months in a year.

At a large department store, the number of years of employment for a cashier is a normally distributed variable with a mean of 5
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

0.0084

Explanation:

For this probability problem, we will have to make use of the normal probability distribution table.

to use the table, we will have to compute a certain value

z = (x- mean) /Standard deviation

z = \frac{(10 - 5.7)}{1.8} = 2.39

Probability he has worked in the store for over 10 years can be obtained by taking the z value of 2.39 to the normal probability distribution table to read off the values.

<em>To do this, on the  "z" column, we scan down the value 2.3. we then trace that row until we reach the value under the ".09" column. </em>

This gives us 0.99916

Thus we have P (Z < 2.39) = 0.9916

We subtract the value obtained from the table from 1 to get the probability required.

1 - 0.9916 = 0.0084

The Probability that the employee has worked at the store for over 10 years = 0.0084

UNO [17]

Answer:

Dr Computer                                       $3,300

Dr Accumulated depreciation-Truck $18,000

Cr Truck - Fixed Asset                                              $20,000

Cr Gain on disposal of truck (Balancing Figure)    $800

Cr Cash  Account                                                       $500

Explanation:

The disposal of a Fixed asset is a three step procedure and is given as under:

  1. Remove the Accumulated depreciation and the cost of the fixed asset
  2. Record the receipt of the consideration at Fair Value
  3. Record the payment or receipt of the cash

Always remember that the balancing figure will go to Profit and loss statement.

<u>Step1: Remove the Accumulated depreciation and the cost of the fixed asset</u>

The asset value and the accumulated depreciation would be removed from the books of accounts and the balance figure would be transfered to profit and loss account.

Dr Accumulated Depreciation $18,000

Dr Profit & Loss Account          $2,000

Cr Truck - Fixed Asset                            $20,000

<u></u>

<u>Step2: Record the receipt of the consideration at Fair Value</u>

Dr Computer - Fixed Asset $3,300

Cr Profit and Loss Account           $3,300

<u>Step3: Record the payment or receipt of the cash</u>

The receipt of the payment will treated as:

Dr Profit and loss Account $500

Cr Cash Account                        $500

The aggregate Effect if I summarizee would be:

Dr Computer                                       $3,300

Dr Accumulated depreciation-Truck $18,000

Cr Truck - Fixed Asset                                              $20,000

Cr Gain on disposal of truck (Balancing Figure)    $800  

Cr Cash  Account                                                       $500
