50 for the coverage they need. Their insurance company offers a discount of 8 percent if they install dead-bolt locks on all exterior doors.

Icu window, inc., is trying to determine its cost of debt. the firm has a debt issue outstanding with ten years to maturity that
aev [14]

Pre-tax cost of debt is calculated as -

Yield to maturity = [ Coupon payment + ( Face value - Price) / Number of periods ] / [ ( Face value - Price) / 2 ]

Coupon payment = 9.6 % / 2 * 1000 = $ 48

Face Value = 1000

Price = 113.5 % * $ 1000 = $ 1135

Number of periods = 20 (i.e. 10 years *2 )

Yield to maturity = [ $ 48 + ( $ 1000 - $ 1135) / 20] / [ ($ 1000 + $ 1135) /2 ]

Yield to maturity = 3.86 %

Annual yield to maturity = 3.86 % * 2 = 7.72 %

One of the elements of the Fraud Triangle focuses on how easy or hard it is for the internal control system to prevent any fraud
olga55 [171]

Answer: Opportunity

Explanation:

1. Opportunity - Given the fact that employees are granted access to very important documents, this might provide them the opportunity to commit theft. Employees who occupy top positions have access to classified information of the company which when manipulated can result to disastrous consequences. It now be holds on the employers of labour or the internal control system, to limit access to such information so as to make it hard for such fraud to be committed.

The procedures used by auditors to provide evidence are in two phases namely; the planning phase and execution phase.

1. The procedure for the planning phase is - Designing Appropriate Procedures : The evidence in this case could be a red flag noticed in the account records. The person who tried to commit the fraud could change figures in places that may not be noticeable.

2. The procedure for the execution phase involves - Implementing Appropriate Procedures : The evidence could be seen as an error. This error most likely results in wasteful spending.

A company pays $35,000 per period to rent a small building that has 12,000 square feet of space. This cost is allocated to the c
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: $7,000

Explanation:

As the question says, a total of $35,000 is paid for 12,000 square feet of space and that the rent is apportioned on the basis of space.

Department One occupies 2,400 square feet of that space.

Calculating the proportion it occupies is,

= 2,400/12,000

= 20%

Since it occupied 20% of the total space then it should be charged 20% of the rent bill.

= 20% * 35,000

= $7,000

Department One should be charged rent expense for the period of $7,000.
