At the beginning of the current year, trenton company inc.'s total assets were $248,000 and its total liabilities were $175,000.

anygoal [31]

The debt ratio is calculated by dividing the Total Liabilities by Total Assets. We are asked to calculate the debt ratio at the end of the year, hence we need to take year-end values for Total Liabilities and Total Assets.

We are given the Total Liabilities at the beginning of the year $175,000 and there is no change in the liabilities given, hence we can say that Total liabilities at the end of the year shall remain same = $175,000

We are given Total Assets at the end of the year are $260,000

Debt ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets = 175000/260000 = 0.673

Hence debt ratio at the end of the current year shall be 0.673

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Operating cash receipts minus operating cash payments equals net cash provided (used by) operating activities.

Explanation:

A statement of cash flows is also known as cash flow statement and it is a financial statement which is used to illustrate how changes in income and various account of the balance sheet affect cash and cash equivalents.

The statement of cash flows is also used by financial experts or accountants to breakdown the cash-flow analysis into;

1. Cash-flow from financing activities: it represents the cash flow from debt or equity. Typically, it's the costs used in a financing a business.

2. Cash-flow from investing activities: it represents the cash flow from investment such as proceeds from the sale of plant, equipments, etc.

3. Cash-flow from operating activities: it represents cash-flow and transactions from operational business activities such as employee salary, sales of goods, etc.

In Financial accounting, the direct method of reporting operating cash flows uses actual cash inflows and outflows from the operating activities of a company by generating data from the income statement (cash receipts and cash disbursements/payments).

Hence, when the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows is reported using the direct method; operating cash receipts minus operating cash payments (disbursements) equals net cash provided, that is typically used by operating activities.

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The company’s total book value of debt is $95,000,000.

Explanation:

1st Issue of Bonds:

Face Value = $45,000,000

Market Value = 95%*$45,000,000

= $42,750,000

Annual Coupon Rate = 6%

Semiannual Coupon Rate = 3%

Semiannual Coupon = 3%*$45,000,000

= $1,350,000

Time to Maturity = 26 years

Semiannual Period to Maturity = 52

Let semiannual YTM be i%

$42,750,000 = $1,350,000*PVIFA(i%, 52) + $45,000,000*PVIF(i%, 52)

Using financial calculator:

N = 52

PV = -42750000

PMT = 1350000

FV = 45000000

2nd Issue of Bonds:

Face Value = $50,000,000

Market Value = 54%*$50,000,000

= $27,000,000

Time to Maturity = 15 years

Semiannual Period to Maturity = 30

Let semiannual YTM be i%

$27,000,000 = $50,000,000*PVIF(i%, 30)

Using financial calculator:

N = 30

PV = -27000000

PMT = 0

FV = 50000000

Total Book Value of Debt = $45,000,000 + $50,000,000

= $95,000,000

Therefore, The company’s total book value of debt is $95,000,000.
