Answer:

New price of bond A = $986.76, this means that the price decreased by $13.24 or 1.32%.

New price of bond B = $952.99, this means that the price decreased by $47.01 or 4.7%.

Explanation:

Since the current market interest is 6%, then both coupons A and B are sold at face value. If the market interest increases to 6.5%, then

New price of bond A:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6.5%)³ = $827.85

PV of coupon payments = $60 x 2.64848 (PV annuity factor, 6.5%, 3 periods) = $158.91

New price of bond A = $986.76, this means that the price decreased by $13.24 or 1.32%.

New price of bond B:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6.5%)¹⁵ = $388.83

PV of coupon payments = $60 x 9.40267 (PV annuity factor, 6.5%, 3 periods) = $564.16

New price of bond B = $952.99, this means that the price decreased by $47.01 or 4.7%.

How should a christiandetermine whether to obey a specific command from his government?
miskamm [114]

If the government tries to force a Christian to violate a biblical command we must still obey the highest authority- which is God.

<h3>What is government?</h3>

A government is the system or collection of individuals in charge of an organized community, most commonly a state. In the broadest sense, government is made up of the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary.

The basic tasks of a government are to provide leadership, maintain order, provide public services, provide national security, provide economic security, and provide economic assistance.

The system of governing a state or society is known as government. A select portion of society is granted the system of social control, the right to enact laws under it, and the right to enforce them.

Depreciation Methods Vorst Corporation's schedule of depreciable assets at December 31, 2016, was as follows: Asset Cost Accumul
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

c. $14,400

Explanation:

Double declining depreciation method can be described as an accelerated depreciation technique which charges depreciation expense faster than the straight-line depreciation method, because double declining method obtains its depreciation rate by multiplying the rate of straight-line depreciation method by 2.

From the Vorst Corporation's schedule of appreciable assets at December 31, 2016, the following data are obtained for Asset A:

Cost = $100,000

Accumulated Depreciation = $64,000

Acquisition Date = 2015

Residual value = $20,000

Estimated useful life = 5 years

Therefore, we have:

Straight line method depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 0.20, or 20%

Double declining depreciation rate = Straight line method depreciation rate * 2 = 40%

Beginning book value in 2017 = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation = $100,000 - $64,000 = $36,000

Depreciation expense for 2017 = Beginning book value in 2017 * Double declining depreciation rate = $36,000 * 40% = $14,400.

Therefore, Vorst should record $14,400 as depreciation expenses in 2017 for Asset A.

Important End Note:

Under the double declining depreciation method, residual is adjusted for in the last year of the estimated useful life of the asset.

Based on the information for Asset A, its last useful year is 2019 and that is why the residual value is not adjusted for in 2017 above.
