1 answer:

4 0

For all the technology coming out of China today, its rural community is still very primitive. Farmers in the Western World have found ways to scientifically improve their growing techniques. Crop rotations allow for nutrient rich plants to regenerate the soil every other year. Also letting a field go fallow one years allows for recovery of soil. There are many other ways the West is improving their crops and educating new farmers in agriculture science. However, southeast Asian farmers to do not have access to this technology or sometimes computers/internet. They are using the same techniques that they have for over a thousand years. Until education is available for them or they are taught different they will continue to use the same techniques taught by their father. Even to the detriment of their land.

A 6-year bond, 8% semiannual coupon bond sells at par ($1,000). Another bond of equal risk, maturity, and par value pays an 8% a

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

The bond has 8% coupon paid semiannually, and those bonds sell at their par value.
Since the bond sales at par value, Market rate (Yield) = Coupon rate =8%

<u>Second bond:</u>

Coupon rate = 8%

Par value = $1,000

Semiannual coupon amount = 1000 x 8%/2 = $40

Time to maturity = 6 years = 12 semiannual periods

Semiannual Yield = 8%/2 = 4%

To get price of this bond we will use PV function of excel:

= PV (rate, nper, pmt, fv, type)

= PV (4%, 12, -40, -1000, 0)

= $1053.32

Price of this bond = $1,053.3

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: $300,000

Explanation:

Total expected costs = cost incurred to date + estimated cost to complete

= 1,200,000 + 3,600,000

= 4,800,000

$Percentage of completion=\frac{Cost\ incurred\ to\ date}{Total\ expected\ cost}\times 100$

$Percentage of completion=\frac{1,200,000}{4,800,000}\times 100$

= 0.25

= 25%

Profit = contract revenue - Total expected costs

= $6,000,000 - 4,800,000

= $1,200,000

Cumulative gross profit = Profit × Percentage of completion

= $1,200,000 × 0.25

= $300,000

Therefore, Red Builders should have recognized profit at the end of year 1 in the amount of $300,000.
