Answer:

Total $986.2534

Explanation:

We have to discount the annual bond against the same rate but compounding semiannualy

(1+ 0.0875/2)^2 -1 = r_e\\1.0894140625 - 1 = r_e\\0.0894140625 = r_e

Now we discount the 12 coupon payment and the maturity at the given discount rate

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 87.500 (1,000 x 0.0875)

time 12

rate 0.0894140625

87.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0894140625)^{-12} }{0.0894140625} = PV\\

PV $628.4172

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   12.00

rate  0.0894140625

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0894140625)^{12} } = PV  

PV   357.84

PV c $628.4172

PV m  $357.8362

Total $986.2534

Suppose the price of tablets increases by 8 percent and producers respond by increasing the quantity supplied by 20 percent. The
zimovet [89]

Answer:

The answer is: C) 2.5 and producers are very responsive to the price change.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of supply refers to what percentage does the quantity supplied change when the price of the good changes in 1%. It is calculated using the following formula:

  • price elasticity = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price

Price elasticity of supply of tablets = 20% / 8% = 2.5

For every 1% that the price increases, the quantity supplied will increase by 2.5%.

Since PES > 1, the supply is very price elastic.

On January 3, 2014, Trusty Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $90,000. Before placing the truck in service, Trusty
likoan [24]

Answer:

Accumulated depreciation for Years 1 - 5 under:

  • the Straight-line method is $90,000.
  • the Units-of-production method is $90,000.
  • the Double-declining-balance method is $86,170.

Explanation:

The total cost of the asset is $90,000 + $3,000 + $1,500 + $4,500 = $99,000, since all the other costs were directly attributable cost and were necessary to bring the asset to usable form.

  • The painting is capitalized because it is the first time Trust Delivery would be using the asset, otherwise it would have been expended
  • Overhauling cost can be regarded as a separate asset, if we were provided with different useful lives - componentization.

Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($99,000 - $9,000) / 5 years = $18,000 yearly depreciation expense.

Accumulated depreciation for Years 1 to 5 is $18,000 x 5 years $90,000.

The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:

(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year

At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($99,000 - $9,000) / 100,000 miles x 22,500 miles = $20,250/year

Accumulated depreciation for the first four years is $20,250 x 4 years = $81,000.

At Year 5, depreciation = $90,000 / 100,000 miles x 10,000 miles = $9,000

Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Years 1 - 4.

Accumulated depreciation expense for Years 1 to 5, under this method, is $90,000 (addition of first four years and the Year 5).

The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:

Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV

SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage

BV = Book value

SLDP is 100%/5years = 20%, then 20% multiplied by 2 to give 40%

At Year 1, 40% X $99,000 = $39,600

At Year 2, 40% X $59,400 ($99,000 - $39,600) = $23,760

At Year 3, 40% X $35,640 ($59,400 - $23,760) = $14,256

At Year 4, 40% X $21,384 ($35,640 - $14,256) = $8,554 approximately (the depreciation expense would stop at this stage since the amount falls below the residual value).

Accumulated depreciation expense for Years 1 to 4, under this method, is $86,170 (addition of all the yearly depreciation).

Cellular Talk is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 25% a ye
kondaur [170]

Answer:

$12.14

Explanation:

The computation of the current value of one share of the stock is shown below:

D2 = (1 × 1.25) = $1.25

D3 = (1.25 × 1.25) = $1.5625

Now

Value after year 3 is

= (D3 × Growth rate) ÷ (Required return - Growth rate)

= (($1.5625 × 1.06) ÷ [0.17 - 0.06)]

= $15.05681818

Now

Current value is

= Future dividends × Present value of discounting factor(17%,time period)

= $1 ÷ 1.17 + $1.25 ÷ 1.17^2 + $1.5625 ÷ 1.17^3 + $15.05681818/1.17^3

= $12.14
