Hrustic Company issued $750,000 of 12% convertible bonds at face value on an interest payment date several years ago. The face v

mina [271]

Answer: The bondholders decided to convert the bonds into common stock because they believed that getting $2250 today is worth more than $120 interest every year and a $1000 principal payment at the end of the bonds life.

Explanation:

1) In order to find out the number of bonds issued we need to divide 750,000 (Total ) by 1000(Face value of each bond).Total number of bonds issues therefore are 750.

2) A 12 percent convertible bond means that the bond pays a coupon of 120 ( 0.12 * 1000) every year.

3) Each bond is convertible into 25 shares , which means if one bond is converted into common stock, the bond holder can earn $1750. We calculate this number by multiplying the number of shares which is 25 into the current market price of the shares which is 70.

4) Also the company is offering an extra $500 per bond for converting it which means (500/25) an extra $20 per share.

5) So in total the bondholder by converting a bond and selling the shares he gets by converting it can earn $2250 per bond which they bought for a $1000 and gives them 120$ of interest every year.

6) SO to conclude the bondholders decided to convert the bonds into common stock because they believed that getting $2250 today is worth more than $120 interest every year and a $1000 principal payment at the end of the bonds life.

To automate one of its production processes, the Milwaukee Corporation bought three flexible manufacturing cells at a price of

liq [111]

Answer:

$1,521,800

Explanation:

The computation of cost basis is shown below:-

Three cells cost price = 3 × $470,000

= $1,410,000

Combination of rate charges = $30,000 + $16,000 + $39,000 + $3,600

= $88,600

Wages of one foreman = wage per hour × weeks worked × hours per week

= $29 × 5 × 40

= $5,800

Wages of 4 foremen = 4 × $5,800

= $23,200

Three cells cost basis = Three cells cost price + Combination of rate charges + Wages of one foreman

= $1,410,000 + $88,600 + $23,200

= $1,521,800

Classify each characteristic as relating to a fixed exchange rate regime or a flexible, or floating, exchange rate regime.a. sig

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

(A) Fixed exchange rate regime

(B) Fixed exchange rate

(C) Flexible exchange rate

(D) Flexible exchange rate

Explanation:

(A) A fixed exchange rate regime signals a commitment not to engage in inflationary policies. NOTE: Inflationary policies are a type of monetary policies (the type used to pump money into the economy). See answer (D).

(B) A fixed exchange rate regime provides certainty about the value of a currency, for example, when the exchange rate between Philippine Pesos and Arab Emirate Dollars is fixed at 10PHP - 1AED, traders in this currency will be certain that at any planning time in business, investment or consumption, 10 PHP will be equal to 1 AED.

(C) Flexible exchange rate distorts incentives for importing and exporting goods and services. What are these incentives? On the government side, it is either the revenue that government makes from import tariffs and duties OR the subsidy that government pays on exported goods. On the importer/exporter side, it is the custom duties paid by importers on imported goods AND the subsidies enjoyed by exporters on exported products. A flexible exchange rate distorts or fluctuates these incentives.

(D) Flexible exchange rate enables policy makers to engage in monetary policy. Now, monetary policy is a tool used by ministers of finance or policy makers in every country; to regulate (increase or reduce or bring back to normal) spending and investment. If the exchange rate between or among countries were fixed, monetary policies would have limited application or usefulness when implemented. A flexible exchange rate encourages and enables engagement in or use of monetary policies.
