Answer:

Explanation:

From the question, we have the followed parameters;

The Face value=1,000 United States of America Dollar($); yield to maturity= fifteen(15) years; The bond = 7.125 percent (annual) coupon rate; payment for last year = $974.24.

First thing to do is to calculate the market value after one percent extra= 1%+7.125%= 8.125%

Next, we need to calculate the present value of 14 year coupon of 71.25 USD = 573.00+ 1,000/1+ 0.8125^14

=>573.00+322.15

= 895.15

Therefore, the price of the bond today is $ 895.15.

An employee of a firm has a job where the employee can easily adjust the number of hours they work for the employer per year. Th
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The answer to both a and b is in the explanation below

Explanation:

a) The increase in wage can either decrease or increase the hours worked. This is became an increase in wage has both substitution effect and income effect that work in different directions. Substitution effect An increase in wage increases the opportunity cost of leisure, thereby making the worker increase number of hours worked. Income effect The increase in wage also makers the worker richer, thereby making the worker decrease number of hours worked.

Since no information about worker's preferences is given, we do not Imow which effect will dominate the other effect and, therefore, we do not know what the net impact of the increase in wage will be.

b) The bonus will only have income effect. The bonus will make the workers richer, thereby making the worker decrease number of hours worked.

If in part a), the substitution effect and income effect are equal in magnitude, then there will be no change in the number of hours worked. The number of hours worked will remain the same at 2000 hours. Since the employer would be paying $5 extra on each hour worked, the cost to the employer of increase in wage would be $10,000 (=2000 x $5), which is the same as the bonus in part b).

To find the break-even point for a company that sells several products, the analyst must make an assumption about what the sales
leva [86]

Answer:

True because in the case if the the company is producing single product then the method is simple. If the company is making number of products we have to assume a sales mix to calculate breakeven point. Reaching breakeven point is not easy in multi products case. To calculate breakeven point we have to calculate weighted average contribution per unit to put the values in the following formula:

Breakeven point (units) = Fixed cost/ weighted average cost per unit

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Investment revenue = $52,000

Explanation:

Since Puff uses the equity method, the original journal entry to record the purchase of 40% of the shares should have been:

Dr Investment in Straw 400,000

   Cr Cash 400,000

After one year, Straw earned $150,000 in net income, but it also had equipment with a fair market value higher than carrying value also depreciable by $100,000. So the net income must be adjusted = $150,000 - ($100,000 x 20%) = $130,000. The journal entry to record the adjusted income should be   ($130,000 x 40%):

Dr Investment in Straw 52,000

   Cr Investment revenue 52,000
