Amount of interest expense on 30th June 20X1= Carrying Amount of Bond*Effective Interest Rate (For 6 Months)
 =$940000*5/100
 =$47000
Contractual Interest of the bond=Face Value*Contractual Interest
=1000000*4/100
=$40000
Thus, Carrying Amount of Bond=Carrying Amount|+Interest Expense-Interest Paid
Carrying Amount as on 30th June=940000+47000-40000
Carrying amount as on 30th June=$947000
Amount Paid to Redeem Bonds =$1020000
Gain/(Loss) on Redemtion of Bonds=Face Value-Amount Paid to Redeem Bonds
Loss on Bonds=-$73000
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Hmm.
Explanation:
- Why should you memorize your social security number rather than carry your social security card in your wallet?
One big reason why you should NOT carry your social security number on you is that you could get robbed at ANY moment. And if someone has your Social security number, then they could slander your name.
- Explain why you will need to provide your social security number to employers.
You will need to provide your social security number to employers because they need to make sure that you are you.
<em>'Why do employers need my social security number? If an employer decides to extend you an offer, they will eventually need your social security number to verify your identity and work authorization and perhaps to complete a background check. However, they don't need it in the initial hiring phase.'</em>
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
the annual pre-tax cost of debt is 10.56%
Explanation:
the beore-tax component cost of debt will be the actual market rate of the bonds, as they offer an interest rate of 11% but are selling at 104 points not at par thus, there is a difference between the rates.
We solve for the rate which makes the coupon and maturity 104
with excel or a financial calculator
PV of the coupon payment
 
 
C	5.500 (100 x 11%/2)
time	60 (30 years x 2 payment per year)
rate	<em>0.052787474</em>
 
 
PV	$99.4338 
PV of the maturity
  
  
 Maturity   100.00 
 time   60.00 
 rate  <em>0.052787474</em>
  
  
 PV   4.57 
<em><u>Adding both we should get 104 which is the amount the bonds is selling:</u></em>
PV coupon $99.4338 + PV maturity  $4.5662 = $104.0000 
The rate is generated using goal seek or wiht a financial calculator.
This rate is a semiannual rate, so we multiply by 2 to get the annual cost of debt:
0.052787474	x 2 = 0.105574947
The cost of debt for the firm is 10.56%
