Answer:

<h2>In this case,the correct answer would be option b) given in the answer choices or More time to explore new revenue generation activities.</h2>

Explanation:

From an economic or business perspective, outsourcing of operational activities or conducts refer to assigning the business functions, activities, projects, assignments etc. to any third party or external agency with a view to enhance work productivity and minimize overall average operational costs or expenses.
The third party or the external entities involved in the outsourcing activities are typically not part of the parent or main company or are not commercially affiliated with the parent or main company.
One of the advantages of outsourcing to the company executives is to be able to assign some of the major and time consuming business activities to outsourced companies or entities and focus more on other mediums or sources of revenue generation for business. It might include introduction of new product or service lines, restructuring of the internal organizational settings or venturing new markets to capture higher consumer or client base. Hence, higher work or labor division through outsourcing activities can provide more time and opportunity for executives to focus more on other revenue generating endeavors.

The Corner Bakery has a bond issue outstanding that matures in 7 years. The bonds pay interest semi-annually. Currently, the bon

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Ans. The after tax cost of this bond is 2.09%

Explanation:

Hi, first we need to establish the cash flow of the bond, so we can find the after tax cost of the bond. After we find the after tax cash flow of the bond, we must use the IRR function of MS Excel to find the semi-annual cost of this debt, but, all after tax debts should be presented in annual basis. Let me walk you through the process. First, let me show you how it should look.

Face Value 100

price 101,4

years 7 years

Coupon 9%

Coupon 4,5% semi-annually

tax 30%

Per Cash Flow After Tax

0 101,4 101,4

1 -4,5 -3,15

2 -4,5 -3,15

3 -4,5 -3,15

4 -4,5 -3,15

5 -4,5 -3,15

6 -4,5 -3,15

7 -4,5 -3,15

8 -4,5 -3,15

9 -4,5 -3,15

10 -4,5 -3,15

11 -4,5 -3,15

12 -4,5 -3,15

13 -4,5 -3,15

14 -104,5 -73,15

Cost of Debt 1,04% semi-annually

Cost of Debt 2,09% annually

Ok, now, as you can see, there are 14 periods, that is because the coupon is paid semi-annually, the way to find the cash flow (I mean, the bond´s coupon) is:

$Coupon (semi-annual)=(Face Value)x\frac{0.09}{2} =4.5$

At the end (period 14), we need to add the face value and the coupon, that is $100+$4.5=$104.5

Now, to find the value of the third column (after-tax cost), we do the following.

$After-tax-Cost=Couponx(1-taxes)=4.5(1-0.3)=3.15\\$

Now, consider this, you are receiving 101.4 for every 100 of debt, that means that you are receiving more money than the emission value, and paying interests over 100 instead of 101.4, that is why we have to use the IRR excel function to find out the semi-annual cost of debt. That is, 1.04%.

Now, to make this an effective annual rate, we calculate it like this.

$EffectiveAnnualRate=(1+semi-annual Rate)^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=(1+0.0104)^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.0209$

Finally, the after-tax cost of this debt is = 2.09%

Best of luck.

Sales revenue

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

may be recorded before cash is collected.

Explanation:

Sales revenue "may be recorded before cash is collected."

This is according to Accrual accounting, which unlike the cash model that requires payments to be made before sales revenue is recorded.

In the Accrual accounting model, sales revenue recording is not based on cash collection before it is recorded. Here, the revenue is recorded in as much the transferred goods are made and collection of payment is determined or expected.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The EFF of card is 27.45%.

Explanation:

EFF interest rate is an interest rate which is actually paid or received on debt or investment. It is also known as Effective Interest rate.

APR = 24.50%

EFF = ( ( 1 + r/m )^m ) - 1

EFF = ( ( 1 + 0.245/12 )^12 ) - 1

EFF = ( ( 1 + 0.020417 )^12 ) - 1

EFF = ( ( 1.020417 )^12 ) - 1

EFF = 1.27447765 - 1

EFF = 0.2745

EFF = 27.45%

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

A)If interest rates decline, the prices of both bonds will increase, but the 15-year bond would have a larger percentage increase in price.

TRUE

As it has more time to maturity it will have a higher time expose to the rate therefore, will be more volatile against the rate fluctuations

Explanation:

The 10-year ond is issued at premium, above par as the coupon rate 12% is higher than market rate 10%. Each year will decrease the market value to come closer to maturity date.

The 15-year ond is issued at discount, below par as the coupon rate 8% is lower than market rate 10%. Each year will increase the market value to come closer to maturity date.
