Answer:

$21,322

Explanation:

The computation of the  interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2014 is shown below:

On January 1

The face value of the bond = $400,000

Carrying value of the bond = $354,118

So, unamortized discount is $45,882 ($400,000 - $354,118)

On July 1

The interest expense = $21,247 ($354,118 × 12%) ÷ 2

The interest payment = $20,000   ($400,000 × 10%) ÷ 2

So, the discount amortized is

= $21,247 - $20,00

= $1,247

The face value = $400,000

The unamortized discount is $44,635   ($45,882 - $1,247)

The carrying value of the bond $355,365    ($400,000 - $44,635)

On December 31,2014

The interest expense = $21,322          ($355,365 × 12%) ÷ 2

The interest payment = $20,000   ($400,000 × 10%) ÷ 2

sasho [114]

In economics, decisions are necessary because resources are scarce, while wants and needs are practically unlimited.

<h3>What is economic?</h3>

Economics examines how products and services are produced, distributed, and consumed as well as the decisions that people, corporations, communities, and countries make when distributing funds.

There are enormous people who are living in this world and all of them have some kind of need or want them to need to fulfill and also which means that there will be limited resources that will be available to them in the near future also.

An investment offers a total return of 15 percent over the coming year. Janet Jello thinks the total real return on this investm
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

6.78%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total return i.e nominal rate = 15% = 0.15

Real return = 7.7% = 0.077

Now,

Inflation rate = \frac{\textup{1 + Nominal rate}}{\textup{1 + Real return }}  - 1

on substituting the respective values, we get

Inflation rate = \frac{\textup{1 + 0.15}}{\textup{1 + 0.077}}  - 1

or

Inflation rate = [ 1.15 ÷ 1.077 ] - 1

or

Inflation rate = 0.0678

or

Inflation rate = 0.0678 × 100% = 6.78%
