postnew [5]

Answer:

8.25%

Explanation:

Orange, Inc. should calculate the MARR (minimum acceptable rate of return) for this project using the following:

Re = 12% (similar to Paste, Inc., so it can be considered the industry's average)

Rd = 6% x (1 - 25%) = 4.5%

MARR = (1/2 x 12%) + (1/2 x 4.5%) = 6% + 2.25% = 8.25%

This calculation is similar to calculating a company's WACC since you must determine the weighted cost of financing the project.

On January 1, Skills Company purchased as a short-term investment a $1,000, 6% bondfor $1,000. The bond pays interest on January
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Interest accrued for 6 months (January 1 to July 1):

= $1,000 × 6% × (6 ÷ 12)

= $30

This shall be credited to interest revenue as this is the income of the investor.

Sale value of investment:

= Bond selling price on July 1 + Interest accrued for 6 months

= $1,200 + $30

= $1,230

Gain on sale of investment:

= (Selling price - Purchase price) - Accrued interest

= ($1,230 - $1,000) - $30

= $200

Therefore, the Journal entry for this transaction is as follows:

Cash A/c                 Dr. $1,230

To debt investments                  $1,000

To Gain on sale of investment  $200

To Interest revenue                   $30

(To record the cash proceeds at the time the bond is sold)
