Answer:

The answer is Option D. 1.68 times

Explanation:

The formula for equity multiplier is:

Equity Multiplier = Total assets ÷ Total stockholder's equity

In 2017:

Total stockholder's equity = Common stock + Retained earnings

Total stockholder's equity = $2890 + $700 = $3590

Total assets = $6,015

Now, putting these values in the above formula, we get,

Equity multiplier = $6,015 ÷ $3,590 = 1.68 times

Basic bond valuation Complex Systems has an outstanding issue of ​$1 comma 000​-par-value bonds with a 16​% coupon interest rate
salantis [7]

Answer:

a. Complex Systems' bond price​ today = $1,476.36

Explanation:

a. If bonds of similar risk are currently earning a rate of return of 9​%, how much should the Complex Systems bond sell for​ today?

This can be calculated by adding the Present Value of Coupons and the Present Value of Par Value as follows:

<u>Calculation of Present Value of Coupons</u>

The present of coupons is calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

Present value of coupons = C × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + r)]^n} ÷ r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

C = Annual coupon amount = Par value * Coupon rate = $1,000 * 16% = $160

r = required rate of return or return of similar risk = 9%, or 0.09

n = number of years = 11

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

Present value of coupons = $160 × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.09)]^11} ÷ 0.09] = $1,088.83

<u>Calculation of Present Par of Value</u>

To calculate this, we use the present value formula as follows:

Present Value of Par Value = Par value / (1 + r)^n

Since Par Value is $1000 and r and n are as already given above, we have:

Present value of Par Value = $1,000 / (1 + 0.09)^11 = $387.53

Therefore, we have:

Complex Systems' bond price​ today = Present value of coupons + Present value of Par Value = $1,088.83 + $387.53 = $1,476.36

b. Describe the two possible reasons why the rate on​ similar-risk bonds is below the coupon interest rate on the Complex Systems bond.

The following are the possible two reasons:

1. Interest may vary bust the coupon is fixed. What can cause the interest rate to vary is the bond rating by rating agency. But his will not affect the coupon rate which is fixed. When the rating is high, the interest will be low. But when the rating is low, the interest will be high. This indicates a negative relationship between the rating and the interest rate.

2. The level of demand may also influence the interest rate to change. When the demand is high, the interest will be low. But when the demand is low, the interest will be high. This also indicates a negative relationship between the demand and the interest rate.

c. If the required return were at 16​% instead of 9​%, what would the current value of Complex​ Systems' bond​ be? Contrast this finding with your findings in part a and discuss.

To do this, we simply change he required return to 16% (or 0.16) in part a and proceed as follows:

Present value of coupons at 16% = $160 × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.16)]^11} ÷ 0.016] = $804.58

Present value of Par Value at 16% = $1,000 / (1 + 0.16)^11 = $195.42

Complex Systems' bond price​ today at 16% = $804.58 + $195.42 = $1,000.00

Comparing part c result with part a result shows that if the coupon rate is greater than the required rate of return, the bond is sold at a premium. That is, price of bond will be more than par. As it can be seen in part a, the price of bond is $1,476.36 when the coupon rate of 16% is greater than the required return of 9%.

Also, the bond will be sold at par when the coupon rate and require return are equal. This is shown in part c where the bond is sold at $1,000 when both coupon rate and required return rate are equal to 16%.

By implication, we can also infer without doing any calculation that the bond will be sold at a discount if the coupon rate is less than the required rate of return.

actionow and becca enter into an oral contract in which becca agrees to work on a project for actionow’s living opportunities ce
JulsSmile [24]

Based on the fact that ActioNOW and Becca entered into an oral contract where Becca agrees to work on a project for ActioNOW for eighteen months, the enforcers of this contract are d. none of the choices.

<h3>Who can enforce this contract?</h3>

This transaction between Becca and ActioNOW was an oral contract which means that it falls under the Statute of Frauds. However, for an oral contract to be enforceable under this Statute, the goods or services exchanged have to be less then $500 in value.

The services or goods also have to be less than 1 year in duration. Because Becca and ActioNow agreed for a contract of 18 months which is more than a year, this contract is not enforceable under the Statute of Frauds and so the government cannot enforce this contract.

Options include:

  • a. ActioNOW.
  • b. Becca.
  • c. any third party, such as ActioNOW’s clients.
  • d. none of the choices

An effective price ceiling will cause consumers to: Instructions: In order to receive full credit, you must make a selection for
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

gain surplus from paying a lower price

Explanation:

An effective price ceiling will cause consumers to "gain surplus from paying a lower price."

This is based on the idea that an effective price ceiling usually leads to prices being below the equilibrium price or equates to a lower price.

At this point, the buyers demand more of the products, while the sellers have a lower incentive to produce more. And therefore, the quantity demanded will exceed the quantity supplied.

Hence, consumers gain excess (more demands) by paying a lower price.
