Answer:

A. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds?

Laurel, Inc. = -8.11%

Hardy Corp. = -18.91%

B. If interest rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of these bonds be then?

Laurel, Inc. = +8.98%

Hardy Corp. = +25.49%

Explanation:

bonds with 6% semiannual coupons, sold at par $1,000

Laurel, Inc. bond maturity in 5 years

Hardy Corp. bond maturity in 18 years

the current price of a bond is the sum of the present value of its face value and coupons. I will use an annuity table to calculate PV of face value and an ordinary annuity table for the coupons:

Laurel, Inc.

market rate 4% = ($1,000 x 0.8203) + ($30 x 8.9826) = $820.30 + $269.48 = $1,089.78, % change = 89.78/1,000 = 8.98%

market rate 8% = ($1,000 x 0.6756) + ($30 x 8.1109) = $675.60 + $243.33 = $918.93, % change = -81.07/1,000 = -8.11%

Hardy Corp.

market rate 4% = ($1,000 x 0.4902) + ($30 x 25.489) = $490.20 + $764.67 = $1,254.87, % change = 254.87/1,000 = 25.49%  

market rate 8% = ($1,000 x 0.2437) + ($30 x 18.908) = $243.70 + $567.24 = $810.94, % change = -189.06/1,000 = -18.91%

Journalizing purchase and sales transactions
Firdavs [7]

Based on the given purchase and sale transactions, the journal entries are:

Date             Account Title                                   Debit                    Credit

Feb 3      Merchandise inventory                   3,300

                            Account payable                                       3,300

Feb 7            Account payable                               900

                    Merchandise inventory                                               900

Feb 9            Merchandise inventory                    400

                      Cash                                                                               400

Feb 10           Account receivable                        4,700

                      Sales revenue                                                             4,700

Feb 10            Cost of goods                                  2,350

                       Freight out                                          370

                      Merchandise inventory                                            2,350

                      Cash                                                                             370

Feb 12             Account payable                             2,400

                       Cash                                                                          2,328

                       Merchandise inventory                                                 72

Feb 28             Cash                                                 4,606

                         Sales discount                                      94

                         Account receivable                                               4,700

<h3 /><h3>What are the journal entries?</h3>

When goods are purchased, they will be debited to the Merchandise inventory account. If they were paid for with cash, they will be credited to the cash account. On account is credited to Accounts Payable.

When goods are sold, the cost of goods sold will have to be debited to account for the cost of the purchase that is now being sold.

Because the goods were paid for in the discount period, a 3% discount would apply:

= 2,400 x (1 - 3%)
= $2,328

A 2% discount would apply to the Feb 10. sales for the same reason:
= 4,700 x (1 - 2%)

= $4,606
