Answer:
Bondholders have a degree of legal protection against default risk, but it is not comprehensive.
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.
The par value of a bond is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a bond gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid. Thus, a bond is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a bond would be issued at par (face) value when the bond's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.
In Economics, bonds could either be issued at discount or premium. A bond that is being issued at a discount has its stated rate lower than the market interest rate, on the specific date of issuance while a bond that is issued at a premium, has its stated rate higher than the market interest rate on the specific date of issuance.
Default risk in bonds refer to the risk that a bond issuer (borrower) is unable to pay the principal or interest agreed upon in the contract with the bondholder (lender) in a timely manner.
Hence, the true statement about default risk is that bondholders have a degree of legal protection against default risk, but it is not comprehensive.
Answer:
The cost of equity using the DCF method: 4.39%.
The cost of equity using the SML method: 15.01%.
Explanation:
a. The cost of equity using the DCF method:
We have: Current stock price = Next year dividend payment / ( Cost of equity - Growth rate) <=> Cost of equity = Next year dividend payment/Current stock price + Growth rate = 0.3 x 1.04/80 + 4% = 4.39%.
b. The cost of equity using the SML method:
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + beta x ( Market return - risk free rate); in which Risk free rate is rate on T-bill.
=> Cost of equity = 6.3% + 1.3 x ( 13% -6.3%) = 15.01%.
Answer:
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Income tax expense A/c Dr $30,035,000
To Deferred tax asset A/c $35,000
To Income tax payable A/c $30,000,000
(Being the income tax expense is recorded)
The computation is shown below:
For deferred tax asset:
= Deferred tax rate - Warrant liability × tax rate
= $435,000 - $1,000,000 × 40%
= $435,000 - $400,000
= $35,000
For income tax payable:
= Taxable income × tax rate
= $75,000,000 × 40%
= $30,000,000
Answer:
The aftertax salvage value of the machine is D) $10,134
Explanation:
Hi. first, we need to find out the book value of the machine at the selling date, that is 3 years from now, and the book value is as follows.
Since taxes are based on the profit you make by selling something, our profit is:
Therefore, our taxes are:
So, the after tax salvage value of the machine is the money you received on the sale minus the taxes you have to pay, that is:
Salvage Value of the Machine = $12,000 - $1,866?= $10,134
That is option D)
Best of luck.
