Question:

Suppose there is a bond in ABC Company that that pays coupons of 8.5%, and suppose that these coupons are paid annually.

Suppose the face value of the ABC bond is $1000 and the maturity is 11 years.

If the appropriate discount rate for this bond is 6%, what would you be willing to pay for ABC’s bond?

Answer:

Price of bond = $ 1197.17

Explanation:

<em>The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV)</em>.

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The price of the bond can be worked out as follows:

S<em>tep 1 </em>

<em>PV of interest payments </em>

Annual Interest payment = 8.5%× 1000 = 85

Annual yield = 6%

Total period to maturity (in years) = 11

PV of interest =

85 × (1- (1+0.06)^(-11)/)/0.06 = 670.38

<em />

<em>Step 2 </em>

<em>PV of Redemption Value </em>

= 1,000 × (1.06)^(-11) = 526.78

<em>Step 3:</em>

<em>Price of bond </em>

670.38 + 526.78= 1,197.17

Price of bond = $ 1197.17

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Answer of each requirement is given seperatly below.

a What is the value of Siebel using the DCF method?

Value under DCF = CF * (1+growth rate)/ (WAAC" -Growth rate)

Putting values (assuming after tax earning is all in cash)

Value of SI = 25 (1+6%)/ 20%-6% = 189 million dollars

"WAAC calculation

Here WAAC is equal to cost of equity (ke) as company is debt free.

so

Ke = risk free rate + beta (risk premium)

= 5 + 2.5 (6) = 20%

b What is the value using the comparable recent transactions method?

Based on recent tansaction the value of siebel incorporated will be calculated as shown below

Value of SI = Profit afte * 10 = 25 * 10 = 250 million dollars

Publicly-traded Rand Technology, a direct competitor of Siebel's sale is taken as bench mark.

c What would be the value of the firm if we combine the results of both methods?

By combining value of both value technique we get 189 + 250 = 439 million dollars.

In 2018, the Barton and Barton Company changed its method of valuing inventory from the FIFO method to the average cost method.

Sati [7]

Answer:

In Barton and Barton Company's general journal, entry required include:

Debit Retained Earnings Account with $8.2 million

Credit Opening Inventory with $8.2 million

Being reversal of overstated inventory due to change from FIFO to Average cost method.

Explanation:

The debit entry to the Retained Earnings Account will reduce the balance by $8.2 million. The effect of overstating the closing inventory is overstatement of the net income because the cost of sales was understated as a result of the inventory overstatement.

The credit entry to the Opening Inventory reduces the balance to the new balance based on the average cost method of $23.8 million.

The FIFO cost method or First-In, First-Out method is an inventory costing method that assumes that goods that were bought first were the ones to be sold first. The inventory cost is therefore valued with the most recent quantity and cost price.

On the other hand, the Average Cost Method, also called the Weighted Average Cost Method, calculates the inventory cost by adding all the period's inventory and dividing it by the quantity for the period. This gives an average cost which is in turn used to multiply the quantity of inventory at the end of the period to obtain the inventory cost.

Both methods are estimates that produce different results and affect the reported net income differently. There is always the need for consistency in choosing the method to apply so that reported net income is not unduly distorted.
