(a)

January 1 Cash 20000 Dr

Bonds Payable 20000 Cr

(b)

June 30 Interest expense 850 Dr

Cash 850 Dr

Explanation:

The bonds are issued at par value thus full cash equal to the par value of these bonds will be received on the issuance date.

The ineterst is paid at 8.5% annually. The annual interest oayment equals 20000 * 0.085 = 1700

As this is paid semiannually in equal installments, the semi annual payment for interest on June 30 will be 1700 / 2 = $850

Denver Mart is considering a project with a life of 5 years and an initial cost of $136,000. The discount rate is 11 percent. Th

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Denver Mart

The net present value of this project given the sales forecasts is:

= $98,400.40

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Project's estimated life = 5 years

Initial project cost = $136,000

Discount rate = 11%

Initial estimated sales = 2,200 at $26

Revenue in years 1, 2, and 3 each = 2,200 * $26 = $57,200

Sales forecast of Year 4 and 5 revised to 1,750 units

Probability of 1,000 * 50% = 500

Probability of 2,500 * 50% 1,250

Total sales forecast = 1,750 units

Revenue in years 4 and 5 each = 1,750 * $26 = $45,500

Present value of revenue:

Year 1, 2, and 3 = $57,200 * Annuity factor

= $57,200 * 3.102 = $177,434.40

Year 4, PV = $45,500 * 0.659 = $29,984.50

Year 5, PV = $45,500 * 0.593 = $26,9815

Year 1 to 5 added = $234,400.40

Present value of revenue = $234,400.40

Present value of costs = 136,000.00

Net present value = $98,400.40

A car's price is currently $20,000 and is expected to rise by 4% a year. if the interest rate is 6%, how much do you need to put

kati45 [8]

Answer:

$19,591.63

Explanation:

1. Calculate the price of the car in a year from now.

This is add the 4% on the current price:

$20,000 × 1.04 = $20,800

2. Calculate the amount of money that must be put aside to have $20,800 in a year:

Use the formula of monthly compound interest, with 6% annual interest

r = 6% / 12 = 0.06/12 = 0.05

P(1 + 0.005)¹² = $20,800

P = $20,800 / (1 + 0.005)¹² = $19,591.63

A company makes two products, A and B. A sells for $100 and B sells for $90. The variable production costs are $30 per unit for

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Profit function would be maximised.

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Let units of both goods be = A ,B

Revenue per unit good A = 100

Revenue per unit good B = 90

Variable Cost per unit good A = 30

Variable Cost per unit good B = 25

Profit Function = (100 - 30)A + (90 - 35)B

= 60A + 65B

{The function is right without including 'average fixed cost' part of 'total cost' in the function because : average fixed cost is a constant & constant figure doesn't effect optimisation (via differentiation , ∵ d (c) = 0)
