Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Bond rating is a method used to convey the creditworthiness and quality of bonds. The rating system uses letters and AAA rating is considered to be the best rating.

The better the rating of a bond, the safer the investor would be considering the invested funds. The better the rating, more the assurance of bond making timely coupon payments and repayment.

When a bond is not well rated, the investor would be at a risk while investing in such a bond. In such cases, the investor would only invest if he is compensated for this extra risk assumed by higher expected rate of coupon payments i.e YTM( yield to maturity).

Thus, an investor would expect higher required rate of return from a BB rated bond than a AA rated bond.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The increase in operating profit is $1,829.00.

Explanation:

The rise or fall in the operating income:

= Purchase unit × ( offer price- direct material- direct labor- variable overhead)

The rise or fall in the operating income: = 1550× (2 - 0.26 - 0.4 - 0.16)

The rise or fall in the operating income: = $1829

Therefore the profit will increase by $1829

Here all the fixed cost is not considered because it is a sunk cost and variable and administrative expenses are also not considered because these costs are not going to be incurred for offer.

The following section is taken from Blossom's balance sheet at December 31, 2021. Current liabilities Interest payable $ 40,500
aev [14]

Answer:

(a) Journalize the payment of the bond interest on January 1, 2022.

Dr Interest payable - bonds payable 40,400

    Cr Cash 40,400

The interest expense on the bonds payable should have been accrued on the 2021 balance sheet, that is why we debit interest payable and not interest expense.

(b) Assume that on January 1, 2022, after paying interest, Blossom calls bonds having a face value of $100,000. The call price is 103. Record the redemption of the bonds.

Dr Bonds payable 100,000

Dr Call premium 3,000

    Cr Cash 103,000

(c) Prepare the adjusting entry on December 31, 2022, to accrue the interest on the remaining bonds.

interest expense = $405,000 x 8% = $32,400

Dr Interest expense - bonds payable 32,400

    Cr Interest payable - bonds payable 32,400

In an effort to help prevent children from accidentally ingesting pharmaceuticals, the government passed a regulation requiring
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

D. Good intentions do not always lead to desirable outcomes.

Explanation:

Here in the question, it is evident that in order to protect the children from poisoning themselves, the government took a good step by passing a regulation to put child-resistance safety caps on the pill bottles.

But it is also evident that this regulation back fired and caused more casualties than before due to the non serious behavior of the general public.

Hence it can be concluded that the government put a good intention but it did not lead to the desired outcome for the government.

Hope I made myself clear buddy.

Good Luck.

Accounting Equation
baherus [9]

,Answer:

  • a. $420,000
  • b. $473,000

Explanation:

a. Stockholders' equity December 31, 2017

Assets = Equity + Liabilities

529,000 = Equity + 127,000

Equity = 529,000 - 127,000

= $402,000

b. Stockholders' equity in 2018:

Assets = Equity + Liabilities

(529,000 + 101,000) = Equity + (127,000 + 30,000)

630,000 = Equity + 157,000

Equity = 630,000 - 157,000

= $473,000

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

a. $44,200

b. $44,684

Explanation:

To calculate after-tax costs we just need to deduct the tax saving amount from the pre-tax amount. The tax saving amount can be calculated bt multiplying the pre-tax amount into the tax rate

Requirement A (If she pays the $65,000 in December)

After-tax cost = Pre tax cost - PV of tax saving

After-tax cost = 65,000 - 20,800

After-tax cost = $44,200

working

Tax saving = $65,000 x 32%

Tax saving =  $20,800

Requirement B  (If she pays the $65,000 in January)

After tax cost = $65,000 - $20,315

After tax cost = $44,684

working

Tax saving = $65,000 x 35%

Tax saving = $22,750

Pv of tax saving = $22,750 x 0.893

Pv of tax saving = $20,316
