katovenus [111]
We can compute this using the Annual depreciation charge
Use the formula:
depreciationcharge= (Co-Cn)i/[(1+i)^n-1)]
where
Co= initial amount= $100,000
Cn- value after n years= $0
n= life of account= 6
i= interest rate=10%
Sunstituting all the values, we will get,
depreciation charge = $12960.74

The bank will have to pay Sara shouppe  $12960.74 for the investment of $100000 with 10% interest.

Last year Carson Industries issued a 10-year, 12% semiannual coupon bond at its par value of $1,000. Currently, the bond can be
Nataly [62]

Answer:

YTM = 8.93%

YTC = 8.47%

Explanation:

P = \frac{C}{2} \times\frac{1-(1+YTC/2)^{-2t} }{YTC/2} + \frac{CP}{(1+YTC/2)^{2t}}

The first part is the present value of the coupon payment until the bond is called.

The second is the present value of the called amount

P = market price value = 1,200

C = annual coupon payment = 1,000 x 12% 120

C/2 = 60

CP = called value = 1,060

t = time = 6 years

P = 60 \times\frac{1-(1+YTC/2)^{-2\times 6} }{YTC/2} + \frac{1,060}{(1+YTC/2)^{2\times 6}}

Using Financial calculator we get the YTC

8.467835879%

P = 60 \times\frac{1-(1+YTM/2)^{-2\times 10} }{YTM/2} + \frac{1,000}{(1+YTM/2)^{2\times 10}}

The first part is the present value of the coupon payment until manurity

The second is the present value of the redeem value at maturity

P = market price value = 1,200

C = coupon payment = 1,000 x 12%/2 = 60

C/2 = 60

F = face value = 1,060

t = time = 10 years

Using Financial calculator we get the YTM

8.9337714%

Harman [31]

Answer: The answer is b

Explanation:

The concept of advertising response function is based on the theory of marginal physical product and shows the relationship between advertising and the level of consumption of the goods by the consumers. The theory of marginal physical product states that when there is a change in total product resulting from one unit change in the quantity of the resources used per unit of time. When average product is increasing ,marginal physical product is greater than average product,when average product is maximum ,marginal physical equals average product .when average product is decreasing marginal physical product is less than average product.The theory of marginal physical product can also be called the law of diminishing return which states that if increasing quantities of one factor of production are used in conjunction with a fixed quantity of other factors then, after a certain point each successive unit of the variable factor will make smaller and smaller addition to the total output. In this case, the law tells the Trend Inc when to stop adding more input of the variable factor to a fixed factor.

Invariably, we are saying that it high time for Trend Inc, should spend proportionately less on advertising than on newer line. It should now spend more money on bringing of new product into the market than spending more on the advertisement of the sport shoes because at a certain point the demand for the old product will fall when diminishing return must have set in on the product demand.

Data pertaining to a company's joint production for the current period follows
Ainat [17]

Answer:

a. $295.81

Explanation:

Total market value = (310 * 10.2) + (260 * 20.4)

Total market value = 3,162 + 5,304

Total market value = 8466

Joint cost allocated to L on basis of value

= [ (310 * 10.2) / 8,466] * 792

= (3,162 / 8,466) * 792

= $295.81

Suppose you purchase one share of the stock of Red Devil Corporation at the beginning of year 1 for $42.50. At the end of year 1
kkurt [141]

Answer:

17.76%

Explanation:

The computation of the time-weighted return on your investment is given below

But before that we have to do the following calculations

Year 1 = ($46.50 - $42.50) + 2 ÷ ($42.50) × 100 = 14.12%

Year 2 = ($54.50 - $46.50) + 2 ÷ ($46.50) × 100 = 21.51%

Now the time weighted return is

(1 + t)^2 = (1 + 14.12%) × (1 + 21.51%)

= 1.1412 × 1.2151

= √1.3867 - 1

= 17.76%
