Answer:

After tax cost of debt is 7.69%

Explanation:

The after tax cost of debt can be computed by first of all determining the pre-tax cost of debt .

The pre-tax of debt is the yield to maturity computed using the rate formula in excel as follows:

=rate(nper,pmt.-pv,fv)

nper is the number of times the bond would pay coupon interest over the entire bond life ,which is 15 years multiplied by 2=30

pmt is the semi-annual interest which is $1000*8.9%/2=$44.5

pv is the current price of the bond at $962

fv is the face value of the bond at $1000

=rate(30,44.5,-962,1000)=4.69%

this is the semi-annul yield ,annual yield is 9.38%

The 9.38% is the pretax

after tax cost of debt=9.38%*(1-0.18)=7.69%

0.18 is the 18% tax rate

Is it reasonable to assume that treasury bonds will provide higher returns in recessions than in booms?
Annette [7]
It is indeed reasonable.We know this because interest rates rise when the economy is booming and fall when the economy goes into a recession which is known as procyclic movement. What happens is that during recessions the government usually tries to keepcinterest rates low in order to stimulate investment. It is good because bond prices <span>and interest rates go in opposite directions so bond prices will rise when recession starts. </span>

A monopolist will find that its marginal revenue curve Grupo de opciones de respuesta Lies below its demand curve and has the sa
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Lies below its demand curve and is steeper than its demand curve.

Explanation:

The marginal revenue curve for a monopolist lies below the demand curve because of the quantity effect. The quantity effect refers to the fact that even a monopolist must lower its price if it wants to sell a larger quantity of goods or services.

The slope of the marginal revenue curve is steeper than the demand curve because it reflects the market power of the monopolist. Instead, the marginal revenue curve for a perfectly competitive firm (with 0 market power) is horizontal or perfectly elastic.

Which of the following statements regarding first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing is/are true?(A) First-in, first-out (FIFO
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: The correct answer is "A. A only".

Explanation: First-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing first transfers out the costs in beginning inventory because the oldest units are the first to leave (First in - First out).

And it does not require an additional step in cost allocation to units transferred out and the final Work-in-Process inventory.

Niles Co. has the following data related to an item of inventory: Inventory, March 1 110 units @ $1.10 Purchase, March 7 210 uni
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The value assigned to ending inventory if Niles uses "weighted average" is $320 ( to 160 units @ $2 )

Explanation:                  Number of units    Price per unit    Total

Purchases on March 1 =         110                     $1.10               $1,21

Purchases March 7      =         210                    $2.10              $441

Purchases March 16    =         110                     $2.70              $297  

Inventory on March 31 =        160                    $2.00             $320

Weighted Average Inventory value = Accumulated Value / Total Number of units

Weighted Average Inventory value = ( 121 + 441 + 297 ) / ( 110 + 210 + 110 )

Weighted Average Inventory value = 1.997674419 = $2.00

Casassa, a merchant in San Francisco, under the terms of a nonshipment contract, agrees to sell 50 cases of packaged macaroni to
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Fresno

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, executory contract, etc.

The uniform commercial code (UCC) is a set of standardized business laws which are put in place for the regulation of financial contracts and commercial transactions used across different states in the United States of America. There are special rules known as the special business standards that are set up by UCC governing merchants and the sales of goods in Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

Under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, a shipment contract between two parties (buyer and seller) states that a buyer bears the risk of loss and is typically responsible for the costs of goods in the event of any damage or loss incurred during transportation and prior to receiving the goods.

In this scenario, the transaction is a nonshipment contract and the place for delivery is not specified in the agreement.

However, on the basis of the facts that both parties are aware that the 50 cases of packaged macaroni are in a warehouse in Fresno, the place for delivery is Fresno.
