Answer:

The Price of Bond today = $997.07

Explanation:

Semi annual coupons = $1000 * 5% / 2

Semi annual coupons = $25

As 9 months is already over in the two year bond, the coupons are payable

3 months from now, 9 months from now and 15 months from now.

The present value of all these coupons and the principal should be equal to the price of the bond today.  In case of continuous compounding, the formula for Present Value of any future Cash flow C is C*e^(-r*t).

Price of Bond = $25 * e^(-0.06*3/12) + 25*e^(-.061*9/12)+ 1025*e(-0.062*15/12)

Using the value of e as 2.71828

Price of Bond = $25 * 2.71828^(-0.06*3/12) + 25*2.71828^(-.061*9/12)+ 1025*2.71828(-0.062*15/12)

Price of Bond = $ 25 * 2.71828 ^-0.015 + 25*2.71828^-0.04575 + 1025*2.71828^-0.0775

Price of Bond = $ 25 * 1/2.71828^0.015 + 25*1/2.71828^0.04575 + 1025*1/2.71828^0.0775

Price of Bond = $997.07

Answer: Credit Additional Paid in Capital $198

Explanation:

Brett Corporation reissued the Treasury Stock at $29 which was $3 higher than the amount they had repurchased it for.

When stock is sold for a price higher or lower than they are worth, the balance goes to the Additional Paid-in Capital account. If it is sold higher, the balance is Credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account and if it is sold for lower than it is worth, it is debited.

The Balance here is,

= $3 * 66 resold shares

= $198

This $198 will therefore be credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Incremental net income from further processing is  $566,600

Explanation:

First of all, it would be necessary to compute profit from selling the product at cut off point and profit when it is further processed in order to determine whether or not it is worth processing further:

Sales revenue                                        $400,000

cost of production(19,000*$25)            $475,000

Loss from selling                                  ($75,000)

Further processing:

sales revenue

Product B(5200*$108)                       $561,600

Product C(11,000*$55)                       $605,000

Total revenue                                     $1,166,600

total cost

cost of production                              ($475,000)

cost of further processing                 ($200,000)

total costs                                           ($675,000)

Profit                                                    $491600

By further processing the incremental net profit is $566,600 ($491,600-(-$75000)

Airborne Airlines Inc. has a $1,000 par value bond outstanding with 20 years to maturity. The bond carries an annual interest pa
ivann1987 [24]

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%

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. the supply of currency in the foreign exchange market, and the demand for loanable funds.

Explanation:

In an open economy, we must add the external sector, which includes the Trade Balance or net exports and the Capital or Financial Balance.

Net exports, being part of aggregate expenditure, are incorporated into the SI. However, the inflows and outflows of payment commitments or international financial assets are recorded in the capital account, which gives rise to a new curve, the BB.

We know that in an open economy, monetary phenomena depend on the exchange system that the country follows: fixed or flexible exchange rate.

Under a fixed exchange rate, the variable that is permanently and permanently adjusted to an imbalance in the money market is international reserves.

Under the flexible exchange rate, the adjustment variable is the exchange rate.

With a fixed exchange rate, an increase in the money supply pressures upward on the level of domestic prices, which encourages imports and discourages exports, causing us to lose competitiveness against our business partners. This translates into a permanent and definitive loss of international reserves, which thus constitute the adjustment variable, that is, the monetary phenomenon.

erik [133]

Answer:

Cultural gap

Explanation:

The merger of Iota Inc. and Axiom Inc. will be difficult due to the presence of a culture gap. An organization's culture may not always be in alignment with the needs of the external environment. The values and ways of doing things may reflect what worked in the past. The difference between desired and actual values and behaviors is called the culture gap. Culture gaps can be immense, particularly in the case of mergers.

Hope this works!!!!!
