zepelin [54]

Answer:

The numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question to fill in the blanks:

Andrew Industries is contemplating issuing a 30-year bond with a coupon rate of 7.13% (annual coupon payments) and a face value of $1,000. Andrew believes it can get a rating of A from Standard& Poor's. However, due to recent financial difficulties at the company, Standard & Poor's is warning that it may downgrade Andrew Industries' bonds to BBB. Yields on A-rated, long-term bonds are currently 6.43%, and yields on BBB-rated bonds are 6.84%.

a. What is the price of the bond if Andrew Industries maintains the A rating for the bond issue?

if the YTM is 6.43%, then the market price will be:

0.0643 = {71.30 + [(1,000 - M)/30]}/ [(1,000 + M)/2]

0.0643 x [(1,000 + M)/2] = 71.30 + [(1,000 - M)/30]

0.0643 x (500 + 0.5M) = 71.30 + 33.33 - 0.03333M

32.15 + 0.03215M = 104.63 - 0.03333M

0.06548M = 72.48

M = 72.48 / 0.06548 = $1,106.90

b. What will be the price of the bond if it is downgraded?

if the YTM is 6.84%, then the market price will be:

0.0684 = {71.30 + [(1,000 - M)/30]}/ [(1,000 + M)/2]

0.0684 x [(1,000 + M)/2] = 71.30 + [(1,000 - M)/30]

0.0684 x (500 + 0.5M) = 71.30 + 33.33 - 0.03333M

34.20 + 0.0342M = 104.63 - 0.03333M

0.06753M = 70.43

M = 70.43 / 0.06753 = $1,042.94

Lexi buys a food processor and uses it without any problems. She loans the processor to Jill, and Jill is injured when a part fl

Damm [24]

Answer:

Jill cannot hold the manufacturer responsible for her injury.

Explanation:

The above question is incomplete as there are several answer options which are listed below;

• Jill can hold the manufacturer liable for her injury as long as Lexi was in the room when she got

• Jill can hold the manufacturer liable for her injury

• Jill cannot hold the manufacturer responsible for her injury

• Lexi can hold the manufacturer liable for Jill's injury.

The above answer - Jill cannot hold the manufacturer responsible for her injury, is true according to the rule of privity of contract. The rule states that a person who is not a party to a contract does not have right to sue or be sued and to enforce the obligations arising from the contract, unlike a person who is a party to the contract.

With regards to the above scenario, Lexi, who buys a food processor is the party to the contract here, hence can sue and be sued in case of any injury suffered by her, however, Jill whom food processor was loaned to, is the third party here, hence not covered by the rule of privity of contract.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The reconciled bank balance for the cash amounts to $1,600

Explanation:

The reconciled bank balance for the cash would be computed as:

= Bank statement balance + Deposits outstanding - Checks outstanding

where

Bank statement balance amounts to $1,850

Deposits outstanding amounts to $3,600

Checks outstanding amounts to $3,850

Putting the balances above:

Reconciled bank balance for cash = $1,850 + $3,600 - $3,850

= $5,450 - $3,850

= $1,600

Therefore, the adjusted bank statement balance amounts to $1,600

Alex

Answer:

The correct answer is Retained earnings: no effect; Paid-in capital: increase

Explanation:

The nominal value of a share establishes a limit price and no company can issue its shares at a lower price, although already issued, the price of the shares is subject to the market price. When capitalization of a corporation is required, it must be defined whether the capital will be obtained from current shareholders or new shareholders. If it is one of the existing ones, there are two options: either the cash contribution is received or the system of delivering dividends payable through shares is used, in which case, it should be clarified whether the shares delivered are preferential or privileged.
