The App Store needs to raise $2.8 million for expansion. The firm wants to raise this money by selling 20-year, zero-coupon bond

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

10,064 bonds

Explanation:

Given:

Amount to be raised = $2,800,000

Par value (FV) = $1,000

Maturity (nper) = 20×2 = 40 periods

Yield (rate) = 6.49 ÷ 2 = 3.245% or 0.03245

Coupon payment is 0 as it's a zero coupon bond.

Assume it's compounded semi-annually.

Calculate the price of the bond today using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)

Price of bond is $278.23

PV is negative as it's a cash outflow.

Number of bonds to be sold = Total amount to be raised ÷ Price of bond

= 2,800,000 ÷ 278.23

= 10,064 bonds

Company should sell 10,064 bonds to raise $2.8 million

The following information is available for Barkley Company: 2017 2016 Accounts receivable $ 360,000 $400,000 Inventory 280,000 3

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

4.0 times

Explanation:

Given that,

2016:

Accounts receivables = $400,000

Inventory = 320,000

Net credit sales = 1,400,000

Cost of goods sold = 1,060,000

Net income = 170,000

2017:

Accounts receivables = $360,000

Inventory = 280,000

Net credit sales = 3,000,000

Cost of goods sold = 1,200,000

Net income = 300,000

Inventory turnover ratio refers to the ratio between the cost of goods sold and average inventory.

Average inventory:

= (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2

= ($320,000 + $280,000) / 2

= $300,000

Therefore, the inventory turnover ratio for 2017 is as follows:

= Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

= 1,200,000 / 300,000

= 4.0 times
