Answer:

Ans. The after tax cost of this bond is 2.09%

Explanation:

Hi, first we need to establish the cash flow of the bond, so we can find the after tax cost of the bond. After we find the after tax cash flow of the bond, we must use the IRR function of MS Excel to find the semi-annual cost of this debt, but, all after tax debts should be presented in annual basis. Let me walk you through the process. First, let me show you how it should look.

Face Value      100  

price              101,4  

years                7 years  

Coupon                9%  

Coupon                4,5% semi-annually  

tax                      30%  

   

Per       Cash Flow After Tax  

0                 101,4 101,4  

1                   -4,5 -3,15  

2                   -4,5 -3,15  

3                   -4,5 -3,15  

4                   -4,5 -3,15  

5                   -4,5 -3,15  

6                   -4,5 -3,15  

7                   -4,5 -3,15  

8                   -4,5 -3,15  

9                  -4,5 -3,15  

10                  -4,5 -3,15  

11                  -4,5 -3,15  

12                  -4,5 -3,15  

13                  -4,5 -3,15  

14               -104,5 -73,15  

   

Cost of Debt 1,04% semi-annually

Cost of Debt 2,09% annually

Ok, now, as you can see, there are 14 periods, that is because the coupon is paid semi-annually, the way to find the cash flow (I mean, the bond´s coupon) is:

Coupon (semi-annual)=(Face Value)x\frac{0.09}{2} =4.5

At the end (period 14), we need to add the face value and the coupon, that is $100+$4.5=$104.5

Now, to find the value of the third column (after-tax cost), we do the following.

After-tax-Cost=Couponx(1-taxes)=4.5(1-0.3)=3.15\\

Now, consider this, you are receiving 101.4 for every 100 of debt, that means that you are receiving more money than the emission value, and paying interests over 100 instead of 101.4, that is why we have to use the IRR excel function to find out the semi-annual cost of debt. That is, 1.04%.

Now, to make this an effective annual rate, we calculate it like this.

EffectiveAnnualRate=(1+semi-annual Rate)^{\frac{1}{2} }  -1=(1+0.0104)^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.0209

Finally, the after-tax cost of this debt is = 2.09%

Best of luck.

What is goodwill in a business sale and why is it amortized in the business financial statements
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Goodwill arises when is a business is acquired as a going concern. It is an intangible asset of a business. Goodwill represents the value of a company's customer base, its location, any patents, and the brand name. It consists of the value of suppliers, customers, and employee relationships that facilitates the smooth running of the business.

The value of goodwill is the difference between the purchase price and the net cost of its tangible and other intangible assets of a business. Amortization of goodwill means spreading the cost of goodwill to several financial years.

Goodwill is amortized because the business benefits from the goodwill for many years.  In other words, the expenditure on goodwill will profit the company in more than one financial year. As per the matching principle, expenses and incomes should be recognized in the period they occur. As benefits will be enjoyed in many years, the expenses should also be spread in similar years.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

(a) $210,000

(b) $351,500

Explanation:

(a) Given that,

Fair value of equipment = $1,440,000

Face Amount of the note = $1,230,000

Gain on sale:

= Fair value of equipment - Face Amount of the note

= $1,440,000 - $1,230,000

= $210,000

(b) Given that,

Accrued Interest Payable = $290,000

Interest rate = 5%

Gain on the partial settlement and restructure of the debt:

= Accrued Interest Payable + (Face amount of note × Interest rate)

= $290,000 + ($1,230,000 × 5%)

= $290,000 + $61,500

= $351,500
