Ryngaert Inc. recently issued noncallable bonds that mature in 15 years. They have a par value of $1,000 and an annual coupon of

REY [17]

Answer:

The bonds sell for $825.63

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. The bonds are annual bonds so the coupon payment is per year.

Coupon Payment = 1000 * 0.057 = $57

Total periods = 15

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 57 * [( 1 - (1+0.077)^-15) / 0.077] + 1000 / (1+0.077)^15

Bond Price = $825.63

Stock Y has a beta of 1.30 and an expected return of 14.9 percent. Stock Z has a beta of .95 and an expected return of 12.8 perc

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Stock Y is overvalued and Stock Z is undervalued.

Explanation:

The stock is fairly valued when the required rate of return on the stock is equal to its expected return. If the expected return on the stock is more than the required rate of return, the stock is undervalued and vice versa.

The required rate of return on the stock is calculated under the CAPM approach suing the following formula.

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

rRf is the risk free rate
rpM is the risk premium on market

r of Stock Y = 0.052 + 1.3 * 0.077 = 0.1521 or 15.21%

The required rate of return of Stock Y (15.21%) is more than its expected rate (14.9%) which means the stock is overvalued.

r of Stock Z = 0.052 + 0.95 * 0.077 = 0.12515 or 12.515%

The required rate of return of Stock Z (12.515%) is less than its expected rate (12.8%) which means the stock is undervalued.

On July 1, 2020, Sarasota Company purchased for $5,760,000 snow-making equipment having an estimated useful life of 5 years with

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

1. We have:

Depreciation expense for 2014 = $920,000

Depreciation expense for 2015 = $1,472,000

2. We have:

Depreciation expense for 2014 = $1,152,000

Depreciation expense for 2015 = $1,843,200

3. Depreciation expense for 2016 = $1,972,000

Explanation:

1. Sum-of-the-years'-digits method.

Depreciable amount = Equipment cost – Salvage value = $5,760,000 - $240,000 = $5,520,000

Sum of the year digits = 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15

Depreciation expense for a year = Depreciable amount * (Remaining years / Sum of the year digits) ………. (1)

Using equation (1), we have:

Depreciation expense for 2014 = $5,520,000 * (5 / 15) * (6 / 12) = $920,000

Depreciation expense for 2015 = $5,520,000 * (4 / 15) = $1,472,000

Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2015 = $920,000 + $1,472,000 = $2,392,000

Therefore, we have:

Sum-of-the-Years'-Digits Method 2014 2015

Equipment $5,760,000 $5,760,000

Less: Accumulated Depreciation (920,000) (2,392,000)

Year-End Book Value 4,600,000 3,128,000

Depreciation Expense for the Year 920,000 1,472,000

2. Double-declining balance method.

Depreciable amount = Equipment cost – Salvage value = $5,760,000 - $240,000 = $5,520,000

Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = (1 / Number of estimated useful life) * 2 = (1 / 5) * 2 = 0.40, or 40%

Depreciation expense for 2014 = Equipment cost * Double-declining depreciation rate = $5,760,000 * 40% * (6 / 12) = $1,152,000

Depreciation expense for 2015 = (Equipment cost - 2014 Depreciation expense) * Double-declining depreciation rate = ($5,760,000 - $1,152,000) * 40% = $1,843,200

Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2015 = $1,152,000 + $1,843,200= $2,995,200

Note that under Double-declining balance method, the salvage value is not considered until the last year of the asset.

Therefore, we have:

Double-Declining Balance Method 2014 2015

Equipment $5,760,000 $5,760,000

Less: Accumulated Depreciation (1,152,000) (2,995,200)

Year-End Book Value 3,456,000 2,073,600

Depreciation Expense for the Year 1,152,000 1,843,200

3. Compute the amount of depreciation expense for the 2016 income statement.

Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number of estimated useful life = 1 / 5 = 0.20, or 20%

Depreciable amount = Equipment cost – Salvage value = $5,760,000 - $240,000 = $5,520,000

Depreciation expense for 2014 = Depreciable amount * Straight line depreciation rate * (6 / 12) = $5,520,000 * 20% * (6 / 12) = $552,000

Depreciation expense for 2015 = Depreciable amount * Straight line depreciation rate = $5,520,000 * 20% = $1,104,000

Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2015 = $552,000 + $1,104,000 = $1,656,000

Net book value at end of 2015 = Equipment cost - Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2015 = $5,760,000 - $1,656,000 = $4,104,000

Depreciation expense for 2016 = (Net book value at end of 2015 - New Salvage value) / Remaining useful years = ($4,104,000 - $160,000) / 2 = $1,972,000
