Answer:

The answer is III) make simultaneous trades in two markets without any net investment.

Explanation:

Arbitrage is simultaneously buying an asset ( may be currency, securities...) in a low-priced market and sell it in a high-priced market.

As a results, the investor earns profit from price differences in the two markets without risk and net investment. It is because the two trading happens at the same time once price differences in any two markets are recognized ( arbitrage opportunities recognized) and the proceed of selling the asset is immediately used for financing/returning to the buying of the asset.

Thus, (III) is the correct answer.

Project 1, 2 and 3 will be selected

Total NPV of these projects will be $2,190,000

Explanation:

Availability of capital = 1 million

Minimum 2 projects should be selected

Project 2 and 4 cannot be selected together.

Value of project = NPV / Cost

P1 = 720,000 / 300,000 = 2.4

P2 = 780,000 / 260,000 = 3

P3 = 690,000 / 215,000 = 3.2

P4 = 700,000 / 240,000 = 2.9

P5 = 510,000 / 295,000 = 1.7

Answer:

a) Pelfer Corporation redeemed $140,000 face value, 9% bonds on April 30, 2014, at 101. The carrying value of the bonds at the redemption date was $126,500. The bonds pay annual interest, and the interest payment due on April 30, 2014, has been made and recorded.

Dr Bonds payable 140,000

Dr Loss on retirement of bonds 14,900

Cr Cash 156,400

Cr Gain on retirement of bonds 27,600
