                                                                         Depreciation          Value

Year 1     $20,000             $4,455                       $4,455            $15,545

Year 4    $20,000            $1,782                         17,820               2,180

<h3>c. Double-declining-balance Method:</h3>

Cost of asset = $20,000

Residual value = $2,180

Depreciable amount = $17,820 ($20,000 - $2,180)

Estimated productive life = 4 years or 9,900 hours

<h3>Annual depreciation rates:</h3>

Straight-line method = $4,455 ($17,820/4)

Units-of-production Method per unit = $1.8 ($17,820/9,900)

Double-declining-balance Method rate = 50% (100/4 x 2)

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

\mathbf{current  \ price \  of \  the \ bond=  \$848.78}

Explanation:

The current price of the bond can be calculated by using the formula:

current  \ price \  of \  the \ bond= ( coupon \times  \dfrac{ (1- \dfrac{1}{(1+YTM)^{no \ of \ period }})}{YTM} + \dfrac{Face \ Value }{(1+YTM ) ^{no \ of \ period}}

current  \ price \  of \  the \ bond= ( \dfrac{0.064 \times \$1000}{2} \times  \dfrac{ (1- \dfrac{1}{(1+ \dfrac{0.091}{2})^{8 \times 2}})}{\dfrac{0.091}{2}} + \dfrac{\$1000 }{(1+\dfrac{0.091}{2} ) ^{8 \times 2}})

current  \ price \  of \  the \ bond=  \$32 \times $11.19 + \$490.70

current  \ price \  of \  the \ bond=  \$358.08+ \$490.70

\mathbf{current  \ price \  of \  the \ bond=  \$848.78}
