Answer:
The correct option is A,5.72 times
Explanation:
The number of times that interest charges gives a sense of how financial stable is in its ability to pay interest on bonds as at when due.It is key consideration for prospective bondholders when assessing whether to buy bonds in a particular company
Number of times interest charges earned=net income before interest/interest
net income before interest charges=net income+interest charges
net income is $340,000
interest charges=$1,200,000*6%=$72,000
net income before interest charges=$340,000+$72,000=$412,000
number of times interest was earned=$412,000/$72,000=5.72
Answer:
Option 1 PV lumpsum = $200000
Option2 PV of Annuity = $195413.08035 rounded off to $195413.08
Based on the present value of both the options, Option 1 should be chosen as it has a higher present value than option 2.
Explanation:
To decide on the best option to choose among the given two, we need to find the present value of both the options.
As the first option is to receive a lumpsum payment of $200000 today, the present value of this option is also equal to $200000 as it will be received today.
Option two, on the other hand, is an annuity as fixed payments will be received after equal intervals of time and for a limited time period and at the end of the period which satisfies the criteria of annuity ordinary. We will use the formula for the present value of annuity which is,
PV of Annuity = C * [( 1 - (1+r)^-n) / r]
Where,
- C is the periodic payment
- r is the rate of return of discount rate
- n is the number of periods
The periodic payment is provided as $1400. We are also provided with and APR of 6% which is the Annual rate. We will have to convert it into monthly rate by dividing it by 12. We are also provided with the number of years which we will need to convert into number of months by multiplying it by 12.
Monthly r = 6%/12 = 0.5%
Number of periods = 20 * 12 = 240
PV of Annuity = 1400 * [( 1 - (1+0.5%)^-240) / 0.5%]
PV of Annuity = $195413.08035 rounded off to $195413.08
51.2 days in inventory ratio decrease as a result of the switch to the JIT system
Explanation:
Just in time (JIT) output is a process technique designed to reduce the processing cycles of production systems, as well as the reaction times of manufacturers and consumers. JIT production allows companies, while lowering costs, to manage variation in their operations.
Inventory turnover shall be calculated by the split price of products sold by average stock before days in inventory can also be determined.
Inventory turnover = 3.9 times ($624,000/160,000) in 2016 and
8.6 times ($688,000/80,000) in 2017.
Dividing 365 by stock days in every statistic results of 93.6 and 42.4 days, respectively, a decrease of 51.2 days.
Answer:
$918.48
Explanation:
price of bond A after the interest rate increased to 5% and the time to maturity is 3 years:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 5%)³ = $863.84
PV of coupon payments = $20 x 2.7232 (PV annuity factor, 5%, 3 periods) = $54.46
Market value of bond A = $863.84 + $54.46 = $918.48
Since the market rate is higher than the coupon rate, the bond will sell at a discount.
Answer:
Mike will be prosecuted by a;
c. a public official
Explanation:
To better answer the question we need to define some key terminologies;
1. Industrial park
An industrial park is an area that is set aside usually in a city for industrial development. Residential and commercial developments are not allowed in these zoned areas.
2. Prosecutor
A prosecutor is a legal representative of the prosecution. The prosecution is the legal team charged with the duty of presenting the case against someone accused of breaking the law.
3. Public official
A public official is any individual nominated or elected to represent the public through the state. Any person who holds a legislative, administrative or judicial post is a public official. They are usually charged with authority to handle certain duties.
In our case, Mike was arrested and charged with the crime of theft. The prosecutor has to be a public official who needs to represent the prosecution in presenting the case against the accused: in this case it's Mike who was accused of theft.
