Answer:
7.52%
Explanation:
First and foremost ,the yield to maturity on the old issue is computed using the rate formula in excel as calculated below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
the nper is the number of times the bond would pay annual coupon interest of $106,which is 20 times
pmt is the amount of annual coupon payment which is $106
pv is the current price of the bond at $860
fv is the face value of the bond at $1000
=rate(20,106,-860,1000)=12.54%
The yield to maturity on the new issue is 12.54% as well
after-tax cost of debt=pretax cost of debt*(1-t)
pretax cost of debt is yield to maturity of 12.54%
t is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4
after-tax cost of debt=12.54%
*(1-0.4)=7.52%
Answer:
C. $40,000
Explanation:
For computing the amount of the gain recognized, first we have to calculate the gain recognized based on the adjusted basis
= Cash received + fair market value of the stock - adjusted cash basis
= $40,000 + $60,000 - $35,000
= $100,000 -$35,000
= $65,000
But the cash is received for $40,000. So, only $40,000 of gain would be recognized. As in the case of transfer, if the amount is received other than the stock so the amount which is received is recognized as a gain i.e $40,000

Answer: $57,600
Explanation:
Accounting works by the Accrual basis. What this means is that transactions are recorded in the period they occur not in the period they are paid for.
In the above, Lee Inc. billed its customers $57,600 for services performed during the year. This is a service company and since their revenue comes from billings, this is their revenue for the year.
It does not matter that some of the services have not been paid for, it matters that the services were performed during the year.
Answer:
-1.0
Explanation:
Diversification in a portfolio refers to spreading investments in such a way so as to minimize risk.
The correlation coefficient r between two securities signifies how return from one security is related with another security. For example, two securities of the same sector may move in the same direction or positively correlated as in if price of one rises, the price of other rises too maybe not by the same margin.
In case of a negative correlation, the security returns move in opposite directions i.e the securities are least related to one another.
Maximum diversification is achieved when r is equal to -1 i.e the two stocks move in opposite direction by the same magnitude.
