Answer: (d) required yields fall.

Explanation

Higher Coupon rate Callable bonds are at risk of being recalled by an issuer when required yields fall.

Usually, the new Issuer would have to pay a rate that mirrors the current interest rate. If it is high, their payments will be high, low and vice versa.

They figured though that instead of paying high interest even when interest is low, they could just recall the bond and reissue another one that reflects a low interest rate.

This is therefore now a very widespread practice.

If Required Yields fall, there is a chance of the bond being recalled.

If you need any clarification please feel free to comment or react. Thank you.

During the taking of its physical inventory on August 31, 2019, Kate Interiors Company incorrectly counted its inventory as $366
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Balance sheet

Inventory - Understatement by $11,600

Owners equity - Understatement by $11,600

Income statement

Cost of goods sold - Overstatement by $11,600

Net income - Understatement by $11,600

Explanation:

The movement in an inventory account which is the difference between the opening and ending balances is a function of the purchases and the sales during the period.

This is captured in the equation below

Opening balance + purchases - cost of goods sold = ending balance

Hence an understatement of the ending balance would result in an overstatement of the cost of goods sold thus an understatement of the net income (and owner's equity).

The understatement in closing inventory balance is

= $378,500 - $366,900

= $11,600.

1. Alex Meir recently won a lottery and has the option of receiving one of the following three prizes: (1) $74,000 cash immediat
sergey [27]

Answer:

1. The PV of option 3 which is $90,000 is the highest. Therefore, Alex will choose option 3 because it has the highset PV.

2. The fund balance after the last payment is made on December 31, 2027 will be approximately $1,934,302.71.

Explanation:

1. Assuming an interest rate of 6%, determine the present value for the above options. Which option should Alex choose?

Alex will choose the option with the highest present value (PV). The present value of each option can be determined as follows:

Option 1: $74,000 cash immediately

PV of option 1 = $74,000

Option 2: $26,000 cash immediately and a six-period annuity of $8,300 beginning one year from today

PV of $26,000 cash immediately = $26,000

PV of a six-period annuity of $8,300 beginning one year from today can be determined using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV of $8,300 annuity = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the $8,300 annual payments today =?

P = Annual payment = $8,300

r = interest rate = 6% = 0.06

n = number of years = 6

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV of $8,300 annuity = $8,300 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.06))^6) / 0.06)

PV of $8,300 annuity = $8,300 * 4.9173243260054

PV of $8,300 annuity = $40,813.79

Therefore,

PV of option 2 = PV of $26,000 cash immediately + PV of $8,300 annuity = $26,000 + $40,813.79 = $66,813.79

Option 3: a six-period annuity of $15,000 beginning one year from today

The PV of option 2 can be determined using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV of option 3 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (2)

Where;

PV of option 3 = Present value of the $15,000 annual payments today =?

P = Annual payment = $15,000

r = interest rate = 6% = 0.06

n = number of years = 6

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

PV of option 3 = $15,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.06))^6) / 0.06)

PV of option 3 = $15,000 * 4.9173243260054

PV of option 3 = $90,000

Based on the calculations, the PV of option 3 which is $90,000 is the highest. Therefore, Alex will choose option 3.

2. Assuming that the bank account pays 7% interest compounded annually, what will be the fund balance after the last payment is made on December 31, 2027?

This can be determined using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity is used as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (3)

Where,

FV = Future value of the deposits after 10 years =?

M = Annual deposits = $140,000

r = annual interest rate = 7%, or 0.07

n = number of years = 10

Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:

FV = $140,000 * (((1 + 0.07)^10 - 1) / 0.07)

FV = $140,000 * 13.8164479612795

FV = $1,934,302.71

Therefore, the fund balance after the last payment is made on December 31, 2027 will be approximately $1,934,302.71.

According to proponents of the Hawthorne effect, Multiple Choice giving less attention to employees increases worker productivit
o-na [289]

Answer:

giving more attention to employees increases worker productivity, if they think managers care about them.

Explanation:

Hawthorne effect establishes that when the workers are observed they improve their productivity. When the initial experiment was done, the investigators were trying to prove that the improvement of workers environment increases the productivity; when they improve the lighting conditions the productivity improved, but when the study finished the productivity was reduced again. In that way they realized that when the workers are observed they improve their productivity because they feel that the managers care about them and their results.
