Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

a1.Present value of $8500=$8500

the Present value of $3000 a year for 5 years=$3000*Present value of annuity factor(9%,5)

the Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate

=$3000[1-(1.09)^-5]/0.09

=$3000*3.889651263

=$11668.95(Approx)

The Present value of $41000=$41000*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)

=$41000/1.09^5

=$26647.19(Approx).

Therefore  $41,000 received at end of five years is a better value.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

$1,032.01

Explanation:

Given:

Face value of bond (FV) = $1,000

Coupon rate = 6% annual rate or 6% / 2 = 3% semi-annual rate

Coupon payment (pmt) = 0.03 × $1,000

                            = $30

Rate = 5.5% annually or 5.5 / 2 = 2.75%

Time period (nper) = 8 × 2 = 16 periods

Current value of bond is present value of bond which can be computed using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)

So, present value of bond is $1,032.01.

PV is negative as it's cash outflow.

Johnny Cake Ltd. has 30 million shares of stock outstanding selling at $40 per share and an issue of $40 million in 8 percent, a
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%

Explanation:

WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure which can comprise of debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC for a firm with only debt and common equity can be calculated as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component based on market value in the capital structure
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • D and E represents debt and equity respectively

To calculate WACC, we first need to calculate the Market value an cost of equity.

The market value of equity = 30 million shares * $40 per share

MV of equity = $1200 million

The cost of equity can be found using the formula for Price today (P0) under constant growth model of DDM.

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

40 = 4 / (r - 0.07)

40 * (r - 0.07) = 4

40r - 2.8 = 4

40r = 4+2.8

r = 6.8 / 40

r = 0.17 or 17%

MV of debt = 40 million * 96.5%  => $38.6 million

Total MV of capital structure = 38.6 + 1200 = 1238.6 million

WACC = 38.6/1238.6  *  0.08  *  (1-0.33)  +  1200/1238.6  *  0.17

WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%

john Hayes and Lynn Magosian, auditors for a public accounting firm, went to lunch at the Bay View Restaurant in San Francisco.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

John is correct but Lynn isn't

Explanation:

John is correct because he left his coat with the coatroom attendant under the premise that it would be properly looked after and returned to him when he was done having lunch at the restaurant. However, Lynn just left her coat lying around under no ones care or supervision, there wasn't a predetermined agreement that anyone would be responsible for watching it on her behalf, therefore I don't think she is has the right to sue.
