Answer:
The new price of the bond is $928.94
Explanation:
Initially the bond's price is equal to its par value which means the coupon rate on bond and the market interest rates are the same i.e. 6%.
Th bond's price is calculated as the sum of the present value of the annuity of interest payments by the bond and the present value of the face value of the bond that will be received at maturity. The discount rate used to calculate the present values is the market interest rate.
As the bond is a semiannual bond, we will use the semi annual coupon payment, the semi annual percentage of the annual rate of interest on market and the number of semi annual periods outstanding.
Semi annual coupon payment = 1000 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $30
Number of semiannual periods till maturity = 10 * 2 = 20 periods
New market interest rate = 6 + 1 = 7% annual
New semi annual market interest rate = 7% / 2 = 3.5%
Price of bond = 30 * [ (1 - (1+0.035)^-20) / 0.035 ] + 1000 / (1+0.035)^20
Price of bond = $928.938 rounded off to $928.94
We used the present value of annuity ordinary formula for preset value of interest payments and the normal present value of principal formula for the face value.
Answer: b. 34.15 or higher
Explanation:
Short sales refer to the sale of borrowed stocks in anticipation that the stock price of the underlying stock will fall. This will then enable you to make a profit by buying the cheaper shares and giving it back to the entity you borrowed from thereby making a profit.
With short sales, the price is usually upward trending so will normally increase from the last price. As the last price here was $34.15, that would be the likely minimum for the next sale.
This means that the next sale will either be at a price of $34.15 or a price higher than that.
Answer:
At will employment
Explanation:
At-will employment is a term used in U.S. labor law for contractual relationships in which an employee can be dismissed by an employer for any reason, and without warning, as long as the reason is not illegal.
Through at-will employment, both the employee and the employer are able to terminate employment at any time. The employment can end at the discretion of either party at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice.
Hence the answer to this question is At will employment
Answer:
John should include $1,600 as rental income on his Year 4 tax return as a result of the $2,000 payment.
Explanation:
As a cash-basis taxpayer, John's taxable income is based on the actual cash receipts and payments made in the accounting period. The refundable part of the rent should not be included as rental income since it is a security deposit that would be returned at the end of the lease period. If John were an accrual-basis taxpayer, the rental income to be included would have been only $800 representing income for Year 4.
